More new moms go the diaper-free way
A rapidly growing movement is taking speed among New York
mothers -- toilet training children from as young as just
a few weeks. Beth Schwartz's 15-month-old daughter, Eden,
has been diaper-free for more than a year. The movement is
called "elimination communication" and argues that it is
wrong for parents to force their babies to wear diapers,
and inhumane to let a child sit in a wet or dirty one, the
New York Post reported. Advocates of the diaper-free
movement say if parents listen to children closely, they
can train them from a very early age. Movement adherents
say they only use diapers on rare occasions, such as a
lengthy outing. Schwartz -- who is 40 and has three
children older than Eden -- said at first she thought the
idea would be too time-consuming, but it made sense after
she saw how effective it was. Eden rarely has accidents,
Schwartz told the newspaper.

'Language police' list new offenses
Members of a group in India who call themselves the "global
language police" have put out an all-points bulletin on
politically insensitive words. The Press Trust of India
reported that offenses include replacing "Oriental" with
"Asian" and replacing "women" with "womyn" in order to
distance the genders. "Macaca" is also included -- a video
of former U.S. Sen. George Allen, R-Va., using it may have
cost him his bid for re-election in 2006. The list also
reports on a Glasgow, Scotland, coffee shop where the
proprietor refused to serve a customer "black" coffee
because he thought it racist. He would only serve "coffee
without milk." Another word deemed offensive was"
"metrosexual," with a suggested replacement: "menaissance"
or "male renaissance." Also suggested, the report said,
was the altering of certain Christmas carols to be more
inclusive of both genders.

Jewelry scam troubles Palm Beach
Two men duped a homeowner in Palm Beach County, Fla., out
of her jewelry in a simple yet bold scam, police said. The
Palm Beach Post reported the woman lost $30,000 worth of
jewelry when the two men showed up at her door telling her
that the roof to her house was damaged. The men, claiming
they could fix the roof for a low price, borrowed a bucket,
and then urgently asked for some milk to put in the bucket.
The Post reported that after the milk was poured in, they
told the woman the chemicals would ruin rings and other
jewelry, and told her to put the jewelry into the bucket.
The rings then disappeared and so did the men. The Palm
Beach woman said other pieces of jewelry were missing
from the bedroom after the men left. The Post said
area police have been warning residents of the scam.
