Police struggling to keep ammunition in stock
Some Minnesota police departments are struggling to find the ammunition they use for training -- as some citizens have snapped up the supply amid talks of a crackdown on guns.
South St. Paul Police Chief Bill Messerich tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press that .223-caliber ammunition has become a hot item. The ammunition is used in rifles like the AR-15s, which have been selling quickly. And it's used by police for practice shooting.
Messerich says when his department tried to buy practice rounds late last year, vendors were out.
Not every department is seeing a shortage. Police in St. Paul, Oakdale and Eagan all said their supplies are in good shape.
Some agencies started noticing shortages years ago and have planned accordingly by ordering months in advance.

Officials said they found a 6-day-old who went missing from a town of Beloit home early Thursday morning. The Rock County sheriff told WISC-TV Friday that officials are considering charges against a woman in custody in an unrelated case.
At a news conference Friday morning, Town of Beloit Police Chief Steve Kopp said Kayden Powell was found alive 29 hours after he was reported missing by his mother. Powell was found outside a gas station in West Branch, Iowa, swaddled in clothes inside a tote bag.
Rock County Sheriff Robert Spoden said the Rock County District Attorney and the U.S. Attorney will discuss possible charges against Kristen Smith, Kayden's mother's half-sister, who was arrested in West Branch, Iowa, Thursday on a warrant out of Texas. Authorities had declined to comment Thursday whether Smith was a suspect in Kayden's abduction, but Kopp had previously said in an email Smith was a person of interest.
Kopp said the baby was found at 10:15 a.m. and appears to be doing very well. The baby was found during a general canvass of the area. The West Branch police chief heard the baby crying.
FBI Special Agent G.B. Jones said Kayden is an "amazingly resilient" baby.
"The safe recovery of this child, it's miraculous," Jones said.
The baby is undergoing a medical evaluation and family members have been notified.
There have been no charges issued in the case.

Honolulu's Department of Transportation Services announced Monday that it will increase bus service to assist riders affected by the State Department of Education cutting back its school bus service.
The increased city bus service will begin Monday, July 30 on the following routes:
- Route 41 (Kapolei – Ewa Beach)
- Route 44 (Ewa Villages/Ewa Beach – Waipahu)
- Route 53 (Pacific Palisades – Honolulu)
- Route 73 (Leeward Community College – Pearl City)
Federal rules prohibit the city from providing bus service exclusively for school service, but the city may increase bus service in areas where students will most likely ride city buses.
The Department of Transportation Services is targeting areas where ridership is expected to increase due to the DOE's termination of certain school bus services.
"By utilizing projected fuel cost savings, we are proactively working to ensure that students along with our regular riders won't be stranded when school starts later this month," said Wayne Y. Yoshioka, Department of Transportation Services director. "Hopefully, this will bridge the gap until the DOE can formulate a more permanent solution to their school bus problem."
The Department of Transportation Services has also made the following updates at minimal cost in response to feedback from riders about recent city bus route and schedule changes:
- Route 2 (Middle Street – Waikiki): Adjusted schedule to address overcrowding; reformulating Route 2A to serve King/Beretania in Downtown
- Route C (Makaha – Ala Moana): Adjusted schedule to address overcrowding and transfer coordination
- Route 55 (Honolulu – North Shore): Altered start point to provide early buses in the Kahaluu-Heeia area; larger, articulated buses to address off-peak overcrowding
- Route 65 (Kaneohe – Honolulu): Working with Kahaluu community to refine route terminus
- Route 14 (St. Louis – Waialae): Will alter Route 22 to serve Diamond Head/Kahala Avenue currently served by 14; will alter Route 24 to serve Puu Panini/22nd Avenue currently served by 14; and still working with St. Louis Heights and Maunalani Heights communities on final route
The city will continue to monitor routes impacted by these recent changes and update them as practicable. Many riders have already provided comments and as a result, certain suggestions have been incorporated.
To provide specific route feedback, e-mail DTS at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 768-8365 during business hours.
Increased labor costs and fuel cost projections during the city's budget cycle led to the implementation of certain service changes on June 3, according to the city. Officials said these changes were necessary to avoid increasing bus fares, and to manage operations efficiently.
Changes focused on off-peak time periods. Peak period bus service was mostly left unchanged.
The Department of Transportation Services conducted extensive outreach prior to the June 3 implementation and continues to speak to community groups and riders in preparation for additional route changes scheduled in August.

The global economy has erased arbitrary boundaries between cultures. On a daily basis, we interact with the world in both large and small ways. We call phone banks in India, e-mail on-line businesses in England, drink fair-trade coffee from Columbia, read about micro-lending in Africa, and shop for green toys made in Thailand. But what about literature? Does the country define the writer or does the writer define the country? Or can literature take place in a global vacuum, devoid of setting? Join us as we wade in the literary waters of many cultures and sample some of the best of the best, one book at a time.

I wasn't sure where to post this. Doug, is this right? I just heard about the Filmshop, an organization for filmmakers with a chapter in Brooklyn and Manhattan. It looks interesting but there's a fee to join and I wanted to see if anyone on the Dword might be a member or share any opinion or insights about the group. You can private email me, if you'd like.

ARTS ENGINE presents: DOCUCLUB! 6/20/2012
Our next DocuClub screening will take place on Wednesday June 20 at DCTV, at 7p.m., located at 87 Lafayette (at Walker). This month, we will screen a rough cut of Cary McClelland's WITHOUT SHEPHERDS. Our moderator will be Arts Engine's own Phil Lane.
If you're planning to attend, please RSVP to email@example.com.

Admission at DCTV is free for current DocuClub members and $6 for non-members.

Tickets will be sold at the door, cash only.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. No admittance after 7:15 p.m.

WITHOUT SHEPHERDS is a rare and essential glimpse into brave lives trapped in the turbulent waters of Pakistan today. The film begins in wake of Benazir Bhutto's assassination, in the midst of the first national election in ten years. Just as the country faces an unprecedented opportunity to shape a new future, each of our characters takes their first steps in bold new directions of their own: a cricket star building a new political party, a female journalist working behind Taliban lines, an ex-mujahid seeking redemption, a trucker crossing dangerous territory to feed his family, a supermodel pushing feminism through fashion, and a subversive Sufi rocker using music to heal.
Whether explicitly or not, they are all part of a moderate core that is beginning to emerge in Pakistan, looking for progressive allies both domestic and abroad to help them address the decades old conflicts that are tearing their country apart. Each of them sees the world from a different perspective and has differing answers to questions regarding the government, the impact of Western foreign policy, the role of Islam, and the uncertainty of what kind of country will emerge. As the "war on terror†continues with no end in sight and dangerous consequences for the region and the world, WITHOUT SHEPHERDS is a record of this moment, where Pakistan sits at the center of a deeply broken world, and of those inside the country who try to find a way forward for all of us.

Hey all,
I will start with the most important info: The company I work for is willing to pay for short documentaries. We are not looking for free content.
With that said, I work for a yet-to-be launched web start-up focusing on world news. We are trying to uncover unreported stories that are hiding in plain sight around the globe. But more importantly, we want to tell stories about people.
We are looking for human stories that act as an entryway into larger issues. We want to give world events and concerns context through the voice of individuals. These stories will be short, feature-like news stories at heart, but with a real level of added artistry. Think Vimeo, not YouTube.
We want to give our audience a fresh take on often tired topics. We want to present new angles into the news, and deliver compelling insights that elevate the conversation.
The short docs should be about 2-10 minutes, depending on the story.
If you¹re at all interested, please reply to me as soon as you can. I will be more than happy to discuss content, compensation, and other specifics then.

NewFilmMarketing.com is excited to announce the launch of its 4-week webinars in the basics of Academic DIY and beyond. Take this class and you may never need another. Check-out the website for registration and class info, www.newfilmmarketing.com.
What will we cover? That's easy. It's all here in an article I wrote for the magazine of the International Documentary Association, Getting Your Film Ready for School
While the purpose of this article is to coach filmmakers to do it entirely on their own, these are also the topics we will cover in the class and more.
Now is the time to prepare yourself for a fall campaign or to gain the knowledge for when you are ready, and because the webinars will offer small group interaction along with my advice, you'll get great feedback from more than just one person.
By the way, in addition to these webinars, I also provide personal consults as well as full-service DIY distribution. Feel free to email for a no-cost, half-hour consultation: email@example.com

We are going to be in the Los Angeles area for a sit-down interview with a subject for a documentary film. We had planned to do the interview at his father's house near Ontario, CA, but that just fell through. So, we're looking for a location (will even consider sound studio) anywhere from Downtown LA out to San Bernardino for about 8 hours total (still working out times). Haven't budgeted much for location rental, but can pay a reasonable fee if it's a great spot. We're looking at crew of 3-4 with simple interview lighting and sound set-up. We have general liability insurance.
If you have specific suggestions, please drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thanks, Mark

NEW PODCAST EPISODE POSTING TODAY!! My podcast "The Real Stuff" is a series of interviews with the makers of unscripted tv and film. Â You can listen to it streaming on my site www.darrencoyle.com or subscribe to it on iTunes.
My guest this episode is John Gyovai.
John is a documentary filmmaker living and working in Washington, D.C.
John has been following in his father's footsteps as a filmmaker, but didn't go to school to study film. He got a job in the business, and has simply learned along the way. But John has a loftier goal other than making good films. John's goal is simple: change the world.Â
John doesn't want to change the world with his films, he wants to teach the world how to make their own films so that everyone has a voice and tells their story. At least he keeps it realistic. And he has been doing a pretty good job of it – traveling around the world telling stories and teaching filmmaking.
Tue 26 Jun 2012
Hi D-Worders.
I am fellow documentary director and shooter and our production company FILM FOR THOUGHT just bought a fantastic C300 package we are willing to rent out to our documentary colleagues during our shooting schedule downtime.
We bought the camera since it's so light, modular, very unobtrusive and easy to professionally color-correct with its C-log setting. It's an amazing A-roll interview camera that rivals the RED. And most importantly – it has an unmatched low-light capability (we did professional tests and the camera held with minimal natural-looking grain up to an ISO of 6400) .
We are using the camera around 1 or 2 days a week which means it's available quite a bit. I have no interest in renting out the camera package to a big rental house but rather have it stay within the documentary community.
[ ] C300 EF Mount
[ ] 16-35mm Lens (L-series)
[ ] 24-105mm Lens (L-series)
[ ] Arri Baseplate
[ ] 15'' Rods
[ ] Genus Shoulder Mount that doesn't interfere with the tripod face plate
[ ] 3 Cards (2x16 Gigs, 1x32 Gigs Sandisk UltraPro = 164 minutes continues shoot time)
[ ] 3 Canon Batteries
[ ] Cartoni Focus HD Fluid-Head Tripod
If needed I can get you these additional lenses and audio gear:
[ ] Canon L-series 70-200mm
[ ] Canon L-series 50mm Prime
[ ] Canon L-series 85mm Prime
[ ] 2 Lavaries
[ ] Sennheiser Boom
[ ] 2 Lectrosonics Wireless systems
[ ] Plus we have a 5D Mark III as a matching B-camera package if you need a second camera.
We are based in Downtown LA but can deliver and pick-up. And our friend rate is 20% below the current rental market price. If you are interested, please send me an email to: contact[at]filmforthoughtinc[dot]com

hey everybody, Kevin Hallagan again. I just launched a kickStarter campaign to raise funds for the first documentary of my career. It's going to be a wild ride and extremely difficult, but I know I can do it. here's the link: http://kck.st/N3Ni9c
My documentary is not just about Binghamton, Ny, it's about how economics and the environment are codependents whose sum is overall living quality. I'm using Binghamton as a representation of many areas in the United States that got hit hard by the recession, but instead of it being a story about loss and hardship it's a story of hope for the future.
Please check out my link and spread it around the internet. i need to get it seen by as many people as possible if I want to reach my goal by July 27.
Thanks D-Word!

For the complete list and explanation of criteria and scoring, check out the Philly Fifty page
Longevity – 3
It seems like longer, but Brian Westbrook spent 8 seasons with the Eagles, only 5 of which he was a full-time, and healthy, starter.
Peak – 4
At his peak, Westbrook was one of the top 2 or 3 offensive weapons the league. 2007 was his best season, when he led the NFL with 2,104 yards from scrimmage. He ran for over 1,300 yards that year and was only the 7th RB in history to catch over 90 balls.
Popularity – 4
Westbrook's exciting game and unselfish attitude made him a fan favorite in Philly.
Team Success – 4
Westbrook was an integral part of the most successful period in Eagles history. During his 8 seasons, the team went 81-46, including 6 playoff victories, 3 conference championships and one Super Bowl appearance.
Awards – 2
Westbrook wasn't really one to compile huge numbers, as Andy Reid avoided really pounding him as RB. As a result, he only made 2 pro bowls (2004, 2007) and 2 all-pro teams (2003, 2007).
Stats – 4
Westrbook is 2nd all-time in Eagles history in rushing yards (5,995), with the highest Yards/Attempt (4.6) of any RB in the top-10 (Cunningham and McNabb are higher). He is also 3rd in rushing TDs (37). Equally impressive are his numbers as a receiver. He is 3rd in team history in catches (426), 11th in yards (3,790) and 10th in receiving TDs (29). He also had 39 punt returns with a 12.8 yard average and 2 TD's.
Historical Standing – 2
Westbrook probably isn't a Hall of Famer as his style of play didn't really lend itself to piling up stats. As with many running backs, the road to the hall is more about durability than elite-level play, and B-West was more the latter.
Excitement – 5
One of the most exciting, if not the most exciting, players in franchise history, Westbrook had a knack for making people miss and would often break off long runs without being touched. His quickness and big play ability made him stand out among his peers. This helped too.
Total: 28

What's that smell, you ask?
If you were anywhere around Foster Botanical Garden downtown, it was likely the Corpse Plant that, in the last 24 hours, has bloomed.
The floral oddity is now creating a buzz.
Only the largest single flower plant in the plant kingdom could generate this type of celebrity status. And no other plant may be described as "fish" or a "dead rat."
"I was expected something dead smelling. Like a corpse. But it actually smelled like cuttlefish," said Jacob Kunukau.
But the amorphophallus titanum, or Corpse Plant, earns its name for a reason.
Just ask Foster Botanical Garden horticulturist Scot Mitamura.
"I was up on an 8-foot ladder taking photographs down and it was like, 'Oh, bad.' It smells like maybe a dead rat," said Mitamura who was up late Thursday night.
The plant was at full bloom at midnight last night.
"You could smell it from the parking lot, from Maunakea Street," said Mitamura.
The reason for the flower's stench is simply survival. It mimics the smell of dead animals to attract the carrion beetle to help pollinate the plant.
The corpse plant blooms every 3-to-5-years and the scent usually only lasts 48 hours.
"It smells like a mixture of bagong and hom ha and it's delicious to me," said Phyllis Gomes. "It doesn't smell like rotting meat at all."
The experts at Foster Botanical Garden said there's probably one more day to see and smell the corpse flower in all its glory, before it goes into a dormant stage.

Thomas asks for two weeks to clean up Knicks mess
According to the New York Post, Isiah Thomas suggested if he doesn't clean up the mess he's made of the New York Knicks in the next two weeks, it is "fair" to call for his dismissal. Thomas never has gone that far in admitting he deserves the ax for turning a flagship NBA franchise into the butt of national jokes.

A lack of confidence? Is that really Myers' problem?
"I think he's close," Dubee said. "I think three good innings might do it. That's how fast he could get out of this. This game is built on momentum."
Myers' momentum currently is going the wrong direction. He has five losses and two no-decisions in his past seven starts, including a 4-3 decision to the Astros on Saturday for his fourth straight loss.
"Just like last night, he was a pitch away from getting out of the first inning," Dubee said of a two-run inning against the Astros. "When you're not in a good flow of things, that's what happens. When things are going well, you just relax and let it flow."
Myers leads the National League in runs allowed, with 46. He's also tied with the Astros' Roy Oswalt for the Major League lead in home runs allowed with 15 and is second to Oswalt in hits allowed in the NL with 82.
Dubee thinks a lot of the problem is confidence.
"I thought his confidence was gaining," Dubee said. "But then [against Houston], I thought it started going back again. He fights himself a lot."
Myers hasn't won since April 17, against the Astros in Philadelphia.
"He's just not real sure of himself right now," Dubee said. "He needs to know he can do it. He's done it before. He won 13 games in '05, so he can do it." (H/T Phillies.com)
A lack of confidence? Is that all? I never would have guessed, coach. Well then, maybe you should have a little frank discussion with Myers and ask him what's wrong. I'm just saying. Anyway, I do agree with you that he needs three good innings, just as long as he doesn't give up any runs either before or after he pitches those three good innings. Myers needs to act like a veteran pitcher and use his experience to keep himself from getting into trouble. Or get him out of it when he does get into trouble. Throwing a few less gopher balls wouldn't hurt either. Harumph!!!

Perhaps he could also use a good, old fashioned spanking too? I'll volunteer! :o) Last week, I was thinking "hugs", this week, I am ready to smack him! Seriously, he needs to grow up and listen to his coaches advice. When they tell him to do something, he needs to do it (like long tossing) instead of acting like a child and throwing a tantrum. I constantly hear about him scoffing at their suggestions. He lacks confidence, yet seems unwilling to take advice from the experts around him to gain any back. Well, if he wants to keep throwing tantrums, I'll be happy to put him over my knee… :O)
I like you. You got a mean streak.🙂 I have to agree with you on him needing to ask like a man and listen to his coaches advice. If they tell him to do long tossing, if it'll help him out between starts, than do the darn long tossing. I mean, if I'm right, he's suppose to be about my age. (I'll be 47 in mid-August) Start acting like a grown up, Brett.

They were supposed to fly to Oahu from Montana on Aug. 6 to enjoy their sisterhood and a time to reflect on the passing of their father in March.
Now, the two remaining sisters say they're having a good cry every morning and reflecting on the life of Mary Beth San Juan, the person they call "Bethy," who was found brutally murdered last month in the driveway of her Punahou Street home.
"She was just a free spirit and just filled with love and joy and wanted happiness and peace fore everybody," said Ann Engebretson.
"She was friendly to everyone. She was the person who would look a homeless person in the eyes," said Jill Myers. "She was the person who would help them."
It's that friendly and helping nature that may have led to San Juan's encounter with Vernon Baker, the man police say stabbed her to death and then placed her body in a rolled carpet outside her front door.
"We know they were acquaintances," Engebretson. "I don't think there was any close connection with them at all."
The two sisters thanked the police and the public for supporting the family and are satisfied with Baker's indictment Thursday for second-degree murder.
"I hope that he's not out on the street ever again, but you know, that's not my call," said Engebretson. "So, I will trust justice to take its course the way it's supposed to."
San Juan's sisters ask anyone that wants to honor her to continue to drop off flowers at her driveway on Punahou Street. They say the idea is to create a new memory for what was the scene of an alleged murder.
Click here to see pictures of San Juan's memorial.
"We'd like people to cover up the ugliness that took place there with the beauty of flowers," said Myers.
A memorial for San Juan will be held this Saturday at Nuuanu Memorial Park. Visitation begins at 5 p.m. with services to follow at 6 p.m. San Juan's family says the public is welcome.

My friend Barbara Temsamani, who lives in Tangier, keeps this Moroccan formula for warding off colds and coughs taped to her refrigerator door. She taught her children to mix the spices and make the drink fresh three times a day for 1 to 2 days at the first sign of a cold. Drink hot, with honey added to taste.–Paula Wolfert
LC Behold, the Healing Power of Tea Note
Spices and herbs play critical roles in Moroccan cuisine—and, as it turns out, also in this soothing drink. The spices play differing roles, with aniseed imparting "a strong, warm, licorice flavor," in the words of Paula Wolfert, and fenugreek providing a taste that's perhaps best described as "a little like burnt sugar or maple syrup." But it's not just flavor that these spices and other herbs impart to therapeutic teas and herbal infusions. Or aroma. As Wolfert explains, "Moroccans are great believers in medicinal herbal teas." Behold, the healing power of herbs and spices. Here's Wolfert's cheat sheet:
- Absinth is the "winter tea of choice" for warmth and as an antispasmodic and digestive.
- Lemon verbena calms the nerves, helps digestion, and gives comfort from the pain of menstruation.
- Orange flower water mixed with milk and sugar helps children get to sleep.
- Marjoram is an excellent remedy for a cold or stomachache.
Therapeutic Drink to Ward Off Colds Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 1
- 1 1/2 cups cold water
- Small piece ginger, crushed, or 1/4 dried ginger [Editor's Note: Not to be confused with ground ginger, dried ginger is an actual chunk of ginger that has been dried. The root tends to be of fairly consistent size, so simply break off 1/4 of the piece.]
- 1/4 lemon, preferably organic
- 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
- 1 scant teaspoon green aniseed
- Honey
- 1. To ward off colds, bring the water to a boil. Add the ginger, lemon, fenugreek, and aniseed, cover, and boil for 10 minutes.
- 2. Strain the tea into a mug and stir in honey to taste. Inhale the aroma and sip it while hot.

Charles Paul Chacon and Brandon David Garibay were indicted in unrelated cases when Bee County Grand Jury members met on July 17.
According to Bee County Sheriffs Office Investigator Steve Linam, Chacon had sexual contact with a girl under the age of 14 on March 1, 2005.
The charge, aggravated sexual assault, is a first degree felony.
In convicted, the 32-year-old suspect faces a prison sentence ranging from five to 99 years or life in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Linam said Chacon has not yet been arrested on the charge in Bee County, but he is in custody outside the state.
His bond was set at $50,000 by District Judge Janna Whatley.
Linam also was listed as the investigator in the case against Garibay, 30.
Grand jurors returned a true bill on two counts of sexual assault of a child. Both first degree felonies.
The indictment alleges that Garibay had sexual contact with an underage girl on Sept. 26 and again on Sept. 27, 2008.
His bond was set at $30,000.
Garibay also was indicted on four counts of failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements.
Each of those counts is a state jail felony. If convicted, Garibay could be sentenced to as much as two years in a state jail facility and fined $10,000.
Linam alleged that the defendant failed to register as a sex offender on May 28, Aug. 13, Sept. 18 and Oct. 15 of 2013.
Bond on those charges was $50,000.
Others indicted on that Thursday included:
•Ricky Eugene Schenk on three counts of failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements.
The offense is a second degree felony. A conviction on any of those counts could send Schenk to prison for up to 20 years and result in a $10,000 fine.
Linam also investigated that case, and he alleged that Schenk failed to register as a sex offender on Nov. 25, 2013, and again on Feb. 3 and Feb. 10, 2013.
Bond was $10,000.
•Felipe Rodriguez, also known as Felipe Chavez Rodriguez, on a charge of driving while intoxicated, third offense or more.
The charge was enhanced to a second degree felony because the defendant had a previous felony conviction.
According to Highway Patrol Trooper John Quiroga, Rodriguez was driving while under the influence of alcohol on Oct. 12, 2013. He had previous DWI convictions on Nov. 19 and on Dec. 10, 1997, both in Bee County.
The charge was enhanced because the defendant had a previous conviction on a charge of felony DWI on May 20, 1999, in Bee County.
Bond was $4,000.

My LO was on the exact same schedule. I started dreamfeeding about a week ago and it has gone great. Most nights he sleeps until 3 or 4 am now and then goes back down until 6 or 7. I would give it a shot for a week or so and see how it goes. If it doesn't work out you can always go back to your old schedule!
what is dream feeding?
Jake: Born 11/15/07
6lbs 5oz ~ 19inch and 3/4's long
I did this with DS for a while until he started 1. actually getting angry when I would wake him or 2. he would take 30 minutes to wake up and then would eat for 2 minutes before crashing again
I'd say give it a shot and see if it helps.
All over the world there exists in every society a small group of women who feel themselves strongly attracted to giving care to other women during pregnancy and childbirth. Failure to make use of this group of highly motivated people is regrettable and a sin against the principle of subsidiary. ~ Dr. Kloosterman, Chief of OB/GYN, Univ. of Amsterdam, Holland
Mama to:
Shiloh (5/6/06) Nursed for 13 months and Josephine (7/26/08) Nursed for 23.5 mos Currently nursing my new little firecracker, Finley Catherine, born on the 4th of July!!
Ah thanks.
Jake: Born 11/15/07
6lbs 5oz ~ 19inch and 3/4's long
I tried doing this with no success. I mean, she happily ate when I fed her, but she still wants to nurse every two hours (comfort nursing, not eating), with or without the dream feed. I still do it, and combine it with Papa doing some "nursing" at some of those every two hour wakings, so we're still using it, hoping to stretch out her sleep time, but so far no luck.
This was a life saver for us. We started at about 6 months and LO's wake ups slowly stretched from 1 or 2 am to 2 or 3 am to 3 or 4 am until now when he wakes up at 5 or 6 am. (This is only if there's nothing else going on, such as a stuffy nose, teething, the grass growing loudly outside his window...)
My son never woke up at 10 pm. My husband would put him in my lap and I'd touch my nipple to his mouth and he'd latch on and start nursing. He never woke up. At first, I was always afraid he'd wake up and start screaming, but he never did.
I definitely try it if I were you. If it works it's a god send.
Mom of 1, AJ born 4/12/07
I do that sometimes when my son is taking his naps so that he'll sleep longer. I've been really lucky when it comes to him sleeping at night though. What I usually do is nurse him to sleep during his naps, then wait about 2-3 hours if he hasn't already woken up and lie down next to him and put my nipple by his mouth. If he's hungry he'll just latch on and eat without me having to wake him up. I've never tried to wake him up to eat, except when he was a newborn bc he was sleepy baby.
I think what really helped us sleep more at night is cosleeping. He usually just moves around when he's hungry and that's enough to wake me up and latch him on then go back to sleep.
First time mommy of Robert Nicolas, now 9 whole months(), and loving it!
What really helps me get him to sleep most of the night is to time our feedings in the evening. I let him NOD all day (which he usually has scheduled out to every 2.5 hours). At 6 p.m., we start nursing on my demand, which for us, means at 6, 8, and 10. That tops his "tank" up, and he will then sleep until 4 a.m., giving me 6 whole hours of rest. *Ah*

Many of us remember the devastation and destruction when Hurricane Iniki slammed into Kauai in 1992.
"Kauai took the brunt of it and Oahu only had a slight hit, but you can imagine how catastrophic it would be if all of Oahu was hit," said City Department of Emergency Management Director Melvin Kaku.
That's why the City & County of Honolulu is developing a hurricane response plan based on a catastrophic storm such as a category 4 storm.
Right now, the state has its own hurricane response plan with FEMA, but the individual counties do not.
"The essence of the whole planning effort is to identify these resources that each county will need and how we can best support each other," said Kaku.
The new disaster plan includes hurricane evacuation routes, updated shelter sites and would also look at how Oahu's ports would be affected and then the aftermath.
Not only is the Department of Emergency Management working on a hurricane response but also updating the tsunami evacuation plan.
Emergency officials will be putting up signs so people will know if they live in a tsunami inundation zone and updating maps to let people know the best way to get to a shelter.
"There is that possibility that the coastal areas that some of the roadway would be washed out and keep them isolated," said Kaku.
The city says both the hurricane and the tsunami evacuation plans should be complete by the end of the year.

Scott Wehrli
Class Year:1991
Alumni Recognition Award Winner 2006
Scott Wehrli '91 is a recognized leader in Naperville as a business manager, community volunteer, Boy Scout leader and member of the North Central College Board of Trustees.
For his many roles in the community and service to the College, Wehrli received the Alumni Recognition Award, which honors a "young alum" for accomplishments in the 15 years (or less) since graduating from North Central.
"I'm blessed to have North Central as part of my life and to have so many alumni serve as role models in my life," Wehrli said in accepting the award.
Wehrli is corporate secretary-treasurer and partner of DuKane Precast, Inc., a premier producer of pre-cast concrete building components based in Naperville. In this role, he is a visible business leader in the community, serving as vice chairman of the Naperville Development Partnership and vice chairman and founding member of the Plainfield Economic Development Partnership.
While at North Central, Wehrli majored in speech communication and was head of the news department at WONC-FM 89.1. Since his graduation 15 years ago, he has continued a family tradition of service to the College. He became president of the North Central College Board of Trustee Associates, a group of young Naperville-area professionals who are committed to advancing the College. In 2005, he was elected to the Board of Trustees.
In the community, he has received awards for his dedicated volunteer work with the Boy Scouts of America as an area exploring advisor and past co-chair of the Illinois Law Enforcement Explorer Conference. He also received a meritorious service award from the Naperville Park District, where he served as a police lieutenant in the district's police department.
Wehrli said that while the alumni of the College represent so many different generations, backgrounds and cultures, they share a common goal: "They're passionate about what they do and they live every day with a purpose," he said.
"Students come here to prepare for life and leave here still hungry to learn."
He and his wife, Lynda, and their children, Sam and Hope, live in Naperville.

School District Geographic Reference File, 1973-1974 (ICPSR 3516)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census
The geographic cross-reference files have been created to allow the user to prepare additional data summaries relevant to school districts. Another use for the geographic cross-reference files is to provide the ability to equate detailed record files having school district codes with census geographic units. This capability could be used to relate administrative record summaries with census geographic data. This data collection is the most current georeference file for the years 1973-1974. While it does not include all United States geography, it can be used to link district data with data available by other census areas. Variables include state, county, minor civil division (MCD), MCD-place, census tract, block group, enumeration district (ED), population of block group, school district code, school district type, percentage of population in school district, place description, congressional district, school district name, grade range, standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA), and government ID code.

In this Edition, some of the leading experts in this new frontier explain facets of human-centered design, monitoring work over the long term and conducting field trials to gauge results. The days of assuming a good-looking program must be doing some good are coming to an end.
Thought leaders in this Edition include:
- Ned Breslin (PopTech 2010): CEO of Water For People.
- Dean Karlan (PopTech 2012): economics professor at Yale and President of Innovations for Poverty Action.

GOP's focus is on tactics
Because the perception that the Tea Party is in decline, Republicans of a more establishment stripe are confident that they will prevail in 2014. Yet they are concerned with tactical rather than strategical considerations. It is the return of compassionate conservatism, that mushy, murky thing once offered by George W. Bush.
These are vague sentiments that masquerade as ideology. Remember George H.W. Bush's "thousand points of light" and "kinder, gentler nation" rhetoric. What it meant was dismantling the safety net and replacing it with a promise that private initiatives could make up the difference. Also, the Bushes stood four-square for corporate supremacy, unbridled and unrestrained. As a set of ideas, they proposed nothing more than a sentimentalized set of proposals that pretended to be Conservatism.
During the 1960's, New York governor Nelson Rockefeller, trying to build upon President Dwight Eisenhower's "modern Republicanism," attempted to give Social Darwinism a new face. His platitude-laden addresses were often dismissed as BOMFOG, -brotherhood of man, fatherhood of God. In reality, it was a reduced version of Democratic notions of business progressivism that dull imitation of compassionate conservatism. In fact,either concept is intellectually flaccid, grounded in a bold notion that the "right people" should monopolize the profit and prestige.
Which gets us to this new dismissal of the Tea Party. Despite the energy that group gave to the GOP in 2010, they are widely seen now as a liability. Suddenly those agents of corporate supremacy, such as Karl Rove, are encouraging Republicans to take soft positions during campaigns, then governing any way they want if elected. Pat McCrory is a good example of those who offered a "thousand points of light" during the campaign, then afterwards enacted a Right-Wing agenda.
Now the Tea Party is far less cynical than those engaged in essentially disguising what they believe. And their theory of how victory is attained is far different. By fighting with open visor they calculate that turnout will be increased. And they fault the upper-crust GOP for having no faith in the voter. More important, although some of their candidates have been awkward, Tea Partiers see politics as a marathon, not a sprint, while the Roves of the world see it the other way around.
True, Todd Akin, the poster boy of ineptness could have been vetted better, thus taking a Senate seat in Missouri. But an essential Akin was a standard Republican on the corporate front. His embarrassing reflection on women's health no doubt shocked the say-anything-to-win Republicans. But what they ignore is that voters need to be confident that their candidate will not repudiate what he stood for the day after election day. On this point, the Tea Party devotees have a compelling argument.
What the modern Republicans fail to realize is by trying to market to a more diverse clientele, they risk alienating their own base. Indeed the confident prediction that they could take Senate if only they adopt a soft message and a small wink of an eye might prove wrong in the approaching midterms.

Adding Insult to Insult
Nothing says Cub fans like Old Style beer, bleacher bums and t-shirt hawkers on Clark and Addison trying to make a buck off of half-baked pseudo-profanity.
Long live the US American dream!
First there was "Cuck the Fardinals".
Then there was "Cardinals take it in their Pujols"(which wittily showed a disenfranchised redbird being sodomized by a Louisville slugger).
And then there was the Cub faithful support of the racist "Horry Cow" featuring an Asian rendition of the late great Harry Caray… all part of the warm 2008 Chicago welcome to Japanese import Kosuke Fukudome.
But like all things, dear readers, even racism gets old. So while the new fad in Wrigleyville attire may be a t-shirt that reads "Pujols Mows My Lawn", I think it's time we all grow up and act like adults. First Asians, now Latinos… what's next? A crack at how Ryan Franklin looks like a neo-Nazi? (He does)
Of course, this sharp razor of racism is double sided. Vendors outside of Busch sell similar duds; in fact, they started the lawn care business with "Zambrano Mows My Lawn", to which I couldn't help but ask: how in the world does he have time for that?!?
Yet in all seriousness, this passé barrage of back-and-forth t-shirt warfare is all a bit lame in my opinion. Can't we just do drive-bys like they do in L.A. and S.F.? Or why not just beat the crap out of each other like Red Sox and Yankees fans?
I boldly volunteer to throw the first punch… but, if I win the fight… you have to mow my lawn.
Horry Cow!
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Hey, I just was watching MLB Tonight and saw your Tiger Curtis Granderson go yard. He's my favorite player. You guys are lucky to have him.

Awh, can't take the heat Jeffy?
You know the way to end the battle? Make a T-shirt that they can't come back from.. I don't have any suggestions as of yet, but I'm sure I [or definitely u] can think of something..
– madd random, buh tell me how i think 2day wus like the first day i ever saw u w/ the skool shirt nd not a sweater on, lolz
– V [ http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com ]
Oh wow.. that second part was from an IM i sent someone.. i don't know how that ended up in that comment.. disregard!! Lolz..
– V [ http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com ]
Dillon — Exactly. And Grandy is Al's guy. Not mine, unless you count him being a Southsider (Blue Isalnd what what!!!)
Julia — Thanks!!!
V — You need to put away the pipe, sweetie. LOL.
Ew. Granderson, someone's favorite player. Gross. Yes, I'm still bitter.
Oh Cubs fans. They couldn't come up with the lawn mowing shirt on their own?
Nope. I'm surprised they had the know-it-all to make a racist Asian t-shirt myself, but dumb Cub fans can think long and hard as long as they're sauced, Melissa. It's the same way they pretend they didn't just get swept. Wink, wink.
Cubs fans are a…special…breed. At least the younger ones. The fact that they still wear the Horry Cow shirts and the Japanese bandanas and whatnot even after Fukudome said he really doesn't like them proves to me that AT LEAST three quarters of that fan base is stupider than I previously thought.
That edition of Palehose 8 pretty much sums it up, I think.
Jen — Well said. I was taught at a young age that Cub fans should never be looked upon as trendsetters, unless that trend is "losing".

CENTEREACH - A snowstorm that started last night and finished up this morning created slick conditions for drivers on Long Island.
While there wasn't much accumulation, the coating on the roads and the cold temperatures meant icy conditions.
A three-car crash on County Road 97 in Centereach happened while the snow was coming down overnight in Suffolk County. It's not known if anyone was injured in the crash.

Southside Savvy
Besides Chinatown flea markets and the out-of-this-world chili at Ramova Grill, the best part about living on the Southside of Chicago is having the White Sox play in my own backyard.
Because as a Cardinals fan far removed from my old Busch Stadium stomping grounds, I know I can always find good, learned, baseball-lovin' folk at New Comiskey (only newbies and yuppies call it The Cell — so I'm told).
And on Monday night, Southsiders came out to the park in droves. It was hot. It was humid. The rain was coming down hard. But Mark Buehrle was on the mound and it's no secret that White Sox fans love them some Mark Buehrle. Over 36,000 people came out to see him duel the Royals' Brian Bannister… yes, 36,000! On a Monday night. With an hour long rain delayed start. Against the Royals.
Now that, dear readers, is some serious dedication.
Perhaps the influx of fans was due to the high hopes of a pitcher's duel.
Well, we didn't get it.
'Cuz when Yuniesky Betancourt goes yard, you know the pitching ain't so great.
Indeed, it was a back and forth battle throughout, until the Sox broke it open in the 7th inning and appeared to have the game in hand.
But Scott Linebrink seemed focused on tempting the Royals' scouts, who seem to go after the poorest of performers. Yes, Linebrink's Kyle Farnsworth impression was brilliantly played by blowing a 3 run lead in the 8th on a Mike Jacobs rocket launch over the right field wall.
Fade to black?
Not so fast. Alex Rios walked to start the bottom of the 8th. Scott Podsednik continued his 2005 renaissance with a go-ahead run-scoring double… and then later Ozzie Guillen brought in the Fat Man to seal the deal.
Sure, it was a great game and all… but the whole time I couldn't take my eyes off the guy sitting in front of me:
Indeed, White Sox fans know their baseball.
Don't hate 'em 'cuz they're right.
Don't believe me? Just ask Kevin Gregg.
18 Comments
Got to love a fans as dedicated as the guy! He must be related to the ones who start the famous "Yankees Chant" at Fenway when we are playing Baltimore….
Julia — I've heard about that guy. Now that's what I call dedication!
The one thing the Cubs can never say about Kevin Gregg is that they weren't warned.
Prince — They don't listen. They rarely do. See Alfonso Soriano, Milton Bradley, Bob Howry for more proof.
We Sox fans are quite smart, aren't we? And dedicated. 🙂 As for Scott Linebrink, if he never plays another game on the Southside, I'll be perfectly OK with that. Because I might go broke buying Tums or tequila.
Jen — I think your money'd be better spent on the Tequila😉 Drink enough and there is no pain… how else has Ozzie made it through the season?
Erin — Yep. That and Favre is gonna make the NFC North interesting… or not?
Wonder if thats his partner on his left…. wonder if shes there cause shes a baseball fan or because of him, maybe shes a Cubs fan and she lost a bet…..you ever sit and wonder why some people go to the ball park… they cant all be there cause they're baseball freaks…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
If my experience is correct, Peter, then yeah, she probably had something to do with it. I still don't get why you go to a game wearing the gear of a team that isn't playing, but that's just me.
That guy kind of reminds me of Arod's wife with the F— U t-shirt. Speaking of Arod, the only way the fans will accept him is if he performs well in the playoffs. Like you said, he really hasn't been able to do that yet. In my opinion, he can have a horrible year this year. But uf he does something big in the playoffs, the fans will automatically love him and forget about his personal numbers. I know I would!
That rainbow is gorgeous! -Virginia
haha, great post Jeff, I saw a Cubs fan at the Indians game yesterday and he was with a White Sox fan. I said how are you two together? You should hate each other. They laughed… By the way I have a new post up about the game, it was great. So I have alotta great stories if you wanna stop by.
When I went to Baltimore to catch an O's game there was a single fan in my general area that was wearing a White Sox jacket. He was definitely loving it because the White Sox were destroying the O's. The guy wearing the Cubs Suck shirt reminded me of the guy with the White Sox jacket.
Virginia — Hm. Still, all these years and no ring, no glory, no production in the playoffs. How long will you all put up w/ it?
Ted — Sweet man. I'll check it out later. Hope you had fun.
Dillon — Be careful though… Chicagoans, we're known for our lethal personalities😉
I bet you had a nice time in "The Cell" with the White Sox. All the weather elements in Chicago, they don't call it the "Windy City" for nothing. That guy wearing the anti-Cubs shirt, funny.
Matthew Tan
Matthew — Yeah, it got the term "windy" from all the windbag politicians. There's your Chicago history nugget of the day😉
Ok, here's a question for you, Jeff. Which team do you hate more: Cubs or Royals? Or Yankees? Or is it a tossup?
Hmm, thought I would respond to your comment about the Cards beating the Dodgers the first game. It was a good game anyway. The second game last night surprised me because your Cards were just not themselves. Pujols and Holliday were held runless. The defense was not as good as they always are. I'm glad for the win. Your Cards are scary.. During batting practice before the game, Pujols just kept hitting balls into the Left Field Pavilion. I kept thinking that we were going to get clobbered.
Jane — Wow. You got some good questions. The quick answer is: CUBS. Hands down. Yankees are a close third behind the Astros. Then Royals… but the Royals are a real waste of time. Perhaps I'll expound on this question later.
Cat — Yep. We were beaten fair and square. Hope we start crushing the ball to left again tonight😉

I just put the milk I expressed today in the fridge and looked at the stuff in the fridge from yesterday and it looks gross. It has a layer of like curdled looking stuff on top. Is this normal?? I smelled it and it smells totally fine. No smell at all really. Is there something wrong with it or does the milk just seperate like that??

nice analysis....8th seed here we come
10 years ago, though it was a brief and shortened season, we were a long shot to make the Playoffs. Then fortune kind of changed our luck when we picked up a man by the name of Latrell Sprewell around the trade deadline.
Gradually, we started competing more as a unit and were luckily able to clinch the final seed. We were a Knicks team that could win or lose on any given day to any given team.
To add fuel to the fire, we were up against the team's hated rivals; the Miami Heat in the first round.
Fast forward 10 years.
As we approach the trade deadline, the team is playing just below .500 like the '99 Knicks. On pace, to clinching one of the bottom seeds in the Playoffs.
Interestingly enough, we could very well be going up against this year's Knick rivals and defending champions - the Boston Celtics! Whether that's with or without Marbs. Barring any setbacks due to injury.
Or better yet, the Cleveland Cavaliers who bear the branded LBJ who we are scapegoating two years for. Interesting.
That could very well be just what the Knicks need to help propel them deeper into the playoffs.
Just like the '99 team, we are a Knicks team that could win or lose on any given day to any given team.
As frustrating as that seems, it could very well be the gift of this team.
This season scripts as a perfect story line that can sway in two ways.
Let's hope we are still talking playoffs, come two months from now.
nice analysis....8th seed here we come
I've been thinking about this for awhile. Problem is, that '99 team is 20x better than this team. But anything's possible, if any team could pull an upset, it's definitely this one.
99 team was more a lucky team, the only opponent they really beat was Atlanta. if Houston's runner didn't bounce or that foul wasn't called on Antonio Davis then Phil Jackson would have probably been the head coach of the Knicks and the Isiah error era would never have happened.
all we need is to trade for a Sprewell-type player so history can repeat itself...
and how sweet would it be to send LBJ and the Cavs home in the first round after Lebron trashed our defense (rightfullly so) in GQ!!!
and I have the trade that may get that done (passed in RealGM):
To Detroit:
David Lee
Quentin Richardson
Al Harrington
Stephon Marbury
To NY:
Allen Iverson
Rasheed Wallace
Will Bynum
Kwame Brown
AI and Wallace (those are two Sprewell-type players) expire this year and the other two deals expire next, so this wouldnt affect our 2010 plans. Detroit has not gotten much out of AI nor Rasheed, so they would benefit by having a crack at resigning Lee this summer, whereas Harrington and QRich could fit in nicely with their current team without compromising their caps.
Now, let's see what you guys think of this madness we are living before Feb. 19th.
desde la cuna del chango
Are you CRAZY? 99 had our greatest player, EVER, Patrick Ewing, in the lineup. That season was skewed, by the media. NYK's were not a true 8th seed: Ewing was injured, all year, which led to our poor play, until his return, at the end of the season. He came back and led us past the Heat, the Hawks, the first Pacer game, before the Knicks squeezed past Indiana and lost to SA, a series they would have won had Ewing not been injured by a dirty Pacers play.
That team had LJ, Spre, Houston, Ewing: some of our best players, ever, on the team. If this current team gets an 8th seed, which is unlikely, they're getting swept. This team has no center, no clutch, no consistent outside shooter, except for Nate, no inside D, no team D, no help D, limited offensive options and limited rebounding, if it comes to having to play an amped up playoff team, not an injured, yao-less Rockets squad or a low-ranking sixers team.
Anyway, now, everyone's riding on Nate's ****; but, as soon as he plays badly, you're all gonna start hating again. Same thing with Hairy-ngton and the rest of these bums. Only true ace on that team is Duhon and Nate. The rest are overrated or actually bums, like Q-Snitch.
Good Luck with that pipe dream!
Negative-minded Knicks fans are the worst, I swear.
They are the downfall of this team, why don't you start rooting for the team instead of bashing them.
True Knicks fans live and die by the team they have.
I'm with Scribles here.
But I also realize we have to MAKE a trade or two to launch this team into the playoffs.
Look at the BOBCATS...imagine Diaw and Bell in this system...we couldn't grab those guys.
But they would of held back from getting under the cap.
Scribbles... I dont understand you... you were talking about how bringing in Sprewell changed 99, but now you bash me for talking about how a similar move could be good for the Knicks?
I predict Phoenix will trade Amare before Feb19th... if that happens, you wouldnt want him on our team?
desde la cuna del chango
Good to see the wack jobs at knicksonline are still going strong. '09 Knicks a lot like the '99 Knicks? Ok, yeah
Patrick, Spre, LJ, Houston and Camby are all better than anybody on the current Knick roster, lets not forget about the coach either.
Gms, coaches, players may change but as long as Dolan is in charge the results will stay the same.
When I'm comparing both teams, I'm comparing their playing.
Don't be fooled. The '99 Knicks were not drama-free. They also had their fare share of unendorsed exposure.
The fact of the matter is that they all came together and put everything aside to win when it was most needed.
I can see that happening with this squad.
I wasn't speaking about you or your trade proposal when I said this:Scribbles... I dont understand you... you were talking about how bringing in Sprewell changed 99, but now you bash me for talking about how a similar move could be good for the Knicks?
But I can see why you thought that was targeted at you. LOL. It was the last sentence right?Negative-minded Knicks fans are the worst, I swear.
They are the downfall of this team, why don't you start rooting for the team instead of bashing them.
True Knicks fans live and die by the team they have.
Well, that wasn't in response to you.
i know we can make some noise if we get camby.i would love bounce the celt****s out of the playoffs.
Let's hope D'Antoni unleashes Sprewell as a secret weapon and he dunks in LeBron's face.

DOH chief arrested in federal probe
BUCKHANNON – A Division of Highways official in Buckhannon was arrested Friday after being indicted in federal court on charges that he allegedly made false statements to federal agents.
Edward Matthew Tuttle, 38, of Buckhannon, the highway administrator for the West Virginia Division of Highways' Equipment Division office in Buckhannon, was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury sitting in Clarksburg on one count of making a false statement to a federal agent, according to a press release issued Friday by the office of William J. Ihlenfeld, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of West Virginia.
Tuttle's indictment marks the second time in three weeks that an employee of the DOH Equipment Division has been indicted for allegedly lying to federal investigators. Barry D. Thompson, 48, of Mt. Clare, was indicted Feb. 19 by a federal grand jury sitting in Elkins on one count of making a false statement to a federal agent. Thompson is a supervisor with the DOH.
Both Tuttle and Thompson have been accused of making "materially false" statements to investigators with the Federal Bureau of Investigation who questioned them as part of an ongoing probe into the Equipment Division of the DOH, according to press releases from Ihlenfeld's office.
Tuttle's indictment, which was unsealed Friday, accuses him of making "false, fictitious and fraudulent statements and representations" about his knowledge of and involvement in state employees transporting a Volvo tandem axle dump truck to the Port of Baltimore in Maryland "on state time and at state expense" after the dump truck had been purchased by a third party at a state DOH auction. Tuttle – who served as a supervisor in the Equipment Division before being promoted to highway administrator – allegedly made the statements to investigators while being questioned Jan. 16.
Tuttle's statements are false, the indictment alleges, because sometime between April 25-26, 2011, Tuttle and another DOH employee allegedly drove the dump truck purchased at the state auction to the Port of Baltimore and delivered it to a third person "on behalf of the auction buyer" while they were working on state time and at the state's expense. Neither the buyer or the second DOH employee are identified in the indictment.
Tuttle is free on a personal recognizance bond, but has been ordered to appear before U.S. Magistrate John S. Kaull for arraignment at 11 a.m. Tuesday in federal court in Elkins, Chris Zumpetta-Parr, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office said Friday.
According to previous reports, on Aug. 20, 2013, West Virginia State Police and FBI agents seized a number of records and documents from the DOH Equipment Division in Buckhannon while executing a federal search warrant obtained through the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of West Virginia.
No arrests were made as a result of the search warrant, and a DOT spokesperson told The Inter-Mountain that the agency was unsure of what federal agents were after.
Following Thompson's arrest in February, Carrie Bly, a communications specialist for the West Virginia Department of Transportation, declined to comment on the supervisor's arrest.
"There's nothing we can say," she said. "With it being a legal matter, we can't comment on it at all, so that's all I've got to say about that."
Indictments are formal accusations, and Tuttle is considered innocent until and unless proven guilty in a court of law; however, if he is convicted, Tuttle could face up to five years in federal prison and a fine of $250,000.
