We are about to have our 2nd daughter and really need help with a name. We have a 3 year old named Harley Jane. My husband and I both love her name and agreed on it instantly! This time around, no such luck.
The only thing we have agreed on is the middle name: Diane (for my mother who passed away from cancer last year)
Hubby loves the name Kennedy. Me, not so much.
I love the name Lila. Hubby, not so much.
I mentioned the name Hannah, and while we both like it (and how it sounds with Harley), we aren't sure about both the girls having names beginning with "H". We do plan on having more children,so we don't want to lock ourselves into using only "H" names. And if we used the name Hannah, and have another child with a name beginning with something other than "H", we don't want them to feel left out.
We really need your help! Do you have any suggestions for our baby girl? I am afraid she will be born and we will call her baby girl for the rest of her life!
It's a good idea to think ahead about initials, especially if you'd feel trapped into having more H names. I think an even bigger issue for me in this situation would be that the names Harley and Hannah are different in both style and popularity. Harley is contemporary, creative, and boyish/androgynous; Hannah is traditional, conservative, and girly. The name Harley was #481 in 2007; the name Hannah was #9 (source: Social Security Administration).
As with the issue of initials, this is purely personal: some people like more matchiness than others. I like names to be roughly similar in style and popularity (though I don't let it stop me from using a name I Love Love Love), but you may not feel that way about it. And "Harley and Hannah" does have appeal: it sounds almost like a children's television show. But you can imagine what the show would be about, right? Harley would be tough and bold and outgoing; Hannah would be sweet and polite and scared to get into trouble. The appeal is in the contrast, and for siblings you may not want that.
I think the name Kennedy goes great with Harley, but if you're meh about it, I'm tossing it. And your husband is meh about Lila, so that one goes out too. Let's see if we can find some more options:
Aubrey; Harley and Aubrey
Avery; Harley and Avery
Darcy; Harley and Darcy
Delaney; Harley and Delaney
Ellery; Harley and Ellery
Ellison; Harley and Ellison
Emerson; Harley and Emerson
Jalen; Harley and Jalen
Larkin; Harley and Larkin
Merrit; Harley and Merrit
Rowan; Harley and Rowan
Some of those may be too similar for your tastes: for example, do you want a repeating "ar" sound, as in hARley and dARcy, or hARley and lARkin? It's a matter of personal preference: some people will love the way those names are very different and yet coordinated by a common sound; other people will find the common sound too matchy.
The two that stand out to me are Delaney and Emerson. Because I can't choose just one, I won't make you choose just one either: please vote for TWO choices in the
[Poll results (476 votes total):
Aubrey: 53 votes, roughly 11%
Avery: 65 votes, roughly 14%
Darcy: 18 votes, roughly 4%
Delaney: 68 votes, roughly 14%
Ellery: 22 votes, roughly 5%
Ellison: 22 votes, roughly 5%
Emerson: 78 votes, roughly 16%
Jalen: 4 votes, roughly 1%
Larkin: 32 votes, roughly 7%
Merrit: 41 votes, roughly 9%
Rowan: 73 votes, roughly 15%]
[Name update 10-21-2008! Claire writes:
Thanks to everyone for the help and all the great suggestions! We were really torn between Emerson and Merrit (although the hubby kept trying for Kennedy!).
However, we are pleased to announce that Emerson Diane was born on Friday, October 3! Mother and baby are both doing extremely well. We love her name and love her even more! Thank you!]

What is Inducing Labor?
As you near the end of your pregnancy, you are probably very eager for your baby to make an entrance into the world. By now you are constantly tired from lugging your pregnancy weight around and all you want is for this baby to come out. If your due date has come and gone, then you will definitely be feeling frustrated and uncomfortable. Keep in mind that your due date only serves as a guideline and may be inaccurate.
Try to be patient because at the end of the day it is your baby who decides when it is ready to arrive and when your body is ready to give birth. However, there are a few simple but safe ways that can be helpful to induce labor and giving nature a nudge. These methods should only be used if you are past your due date and it is very important to consult with your obstetrician, midwife or doula when trying them.

The Ganga has the right to exist and thrive, and so do we. I call upon Parliament to immediately pass the National Ganga Rights Act, so that our precious National River may be preserved, and our people and wildlife may be safeguarded from the billions of litres of pollution and activities that threaten and defile it every day.
Swamini Adityananda Saraswati
The river known worldwide as Mother Ganga is in serious peril. Every day, billions of litres of sewage and toxic chemicals are poisoning it and the millions of people and animals that depend on it for life itself. In some places, the Ganga's renowned waters are being extracted until there is no water left to drink, bathe in or worship. As our precious river withers, we must not stand idly by. When the Ganga's rights are violated, all of our rights are violated. Sign the petition, send it to your friends, and be the change. Hope is in your hands.

Comments On Oct 13, 2013:With the flag mounted by your tire, going through whoops and off jumps you get frequent broken flags and wrapped around your tire. Complete pain in the butt. I highly recommend a seat mount.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Dec 09, 2012:This is for my first dirt bike ever. I have been going to the dunes for a while and I always see someone's flag being drug behind them, it is virtually impossible for that to happen with this holder.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jun 16, 2011:Wow, I don't have to pull the axle every time I need a flag anymore. This thing fits perfect and holds the flag great! I put a little key ring in the corner of the side plate to guide the top of the flag and can say in 4 trips of all day long dune riding I have not broke one flag pole. That is proof enough for me!
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Feb 09, 2010:If you have to have a flag on your bike, then this is the item you need. You dont need to take the axle nut off to put a bracket on, you dont need tools to insert or remove the flag. Just put it on, tighten the bolt and your done.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Mar 20, 2008:Great product, though you will definitely want to add support to the flag at the fender level or the flag will fatigue and break off at the clamp. I suggest either drilling a small hole in your fender and running a zip tie through it leaving enough room of the flag to also pass through the zip tie or a small brace from one of your exhaust bolts.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Nov 29, 2007:I think it would work great but you need to drill a small hole in your side number plate and attach the flag to the side plate so it stays intact.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Oct 28, 2007:After reversing your axle to put this on the side opposite your silencer, it fits great and stays put plus it's easy on and off. The downside is I haven't been able to keep a flag alive for one ride. The flag either gets into the rear tire or breaks off at the mount due to fatigue from whipping back and forth. I'm still trying to figure out some way to make this work.

We're so happy our paths have crossed.
Was it the tasty whole grain flakes and crunchy fiber twigs that led you here? Maybe you were looking to kick it up a notch when you came upon this high fiber cereal sprinkled with cinnamon and blueberries. Or, did you just want Optimum Power without having to wear a cape and tights?
Whatever your reason for winding up on Nature's Path, we're glad you did. And if you want to find more foods that are good for you, your family, and the planet, here are the signs to look for.
Certified Organic
Unlike "natural" label claims, certified organic products are guaranteed to have been grown without chemical herbicides and pesticides, and there are never synthetic preservatives or additives. Because, really, who wants any of that for breakfast?
"GMO" stands for "Genetically Modified Organisms". Doesn't sound too tasty, does it? The Non-GMO Project agrees, and their verification assures you that the food you're buying is made in a kitchen – not in a lab.
Whole Grains
Foods made from whole grains have all the essential parts and naturally occurring nutrients of the entire grain seed, and the Whole Grain Stamp tells you how much you get per serving
Let us know how your journey's going, how we can make it better, or maybe even what you think of our new look.
We'll see you on the path – how about breakfast, same time tomorrow?
"Growing up on an organic farm, I learned a lot about caring for the land and the importance of good stewardship. As my father Rupert used to say, 'Always leave the Earth better than you found it'. Those wise words flavor everything we do here at Nature's Path.
Being a family-run, independent company, we've had the freedom to place people first and get behind the things we're passionate about. Things like tracking down exotic new ingredients and super foods, supporting family & organic farming, championing wildlife conservation and showing leadership in support for food banks and urban gardens.
Things that matter, to us - and to you."

Out lesbian sworn in as Oregon House Speaker
Tina Kotek (D-Portland) today became the first out lesbian to lead a state legislative chamber in U.S. history when she was sworn in as speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives. Former Governor Barbara Roberts, Oregon's only female governor, presided over the swearing-in ceremony.
During her first address to the House chamber, Kotek emphasized the importance of inclusion and dialogue: "As our state continues to tackle the task of economic recovery, our focus must be on the priorities that matter most to Oregonians. Oregonians are expecting us to listen well, listen to everyone, and find solutions through challenging, but productive discussions."
Chuck Wolfe, president and CEO of the Victory Fund, said the milestone is an important one for the LGBT community. "This is a fantastic moment. We need more out women leaders to consider public service and add their voices to the public debate. Outstanding leaders like Speaker Kotek can inspire women and girls to believe they too can serve in elective office, represent their communities, lead their colleagues and live authentic lives," said Wolfe.
As she took the oath of office, Kotek was joined on stage by her partner, Aimee Wilson.

J. J. Keller introduces online, interactive training programs
For experienced truck drivers
Experienced truck drivers need periodic refresher training to combat complacency and keep their skills sharp.
That's the premise behind J. J. Keller's "Master Driver" training series.
A long-time bestseller on DVD, the series is now available in a format that makes it convenient for drivers to receive safety training any time, from any location with a computer and Internet connection.
J. J. Keller's new "Master Driver" online training series is 12 interactive courses designed for experienced drivers, and are also excellent for new or less experienced drivers who aspire to become "master drivers."
The interactive courses involve students to ensure learning occurs. J. J. Keller's content and technology specialists made them easy-to-use and memorable, and as close to real-world experiences as possible.
Reflecting best practices and regulatory requirements, the titles include: Accident Procedures; Air Brakes; City Driving; Coupling & Uncoupling; Driving Techniques; Emergency Maneuvers; Extreme Weather Driving; Fixed Object Collisions; Night Driving; Pattern Driving; Rear End Collisions; and Rural Driving.
Drivers access the courses through a Learning Management System (LMS), which enables trainers to easily schedule and manage their students' training, plus get accurate records automatically.
Each course has a fresh look and feel and is designed to hold drivers' attention. Features include a full-screen image display capability, dramatic footage, dynamic graphics, 3-D animation, hazard perception challenge scenarios and "Road Wise" commentary from seasoned transport professionals.
With J. J. Keller's Master Driver online courses, students will always train on the most current best practices and regulatory requirements. Any updates, such as when a regulatory change occurs, will become available quickly.
That will be especially important when the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rolls out CSA 2010 on November 30. The program will mean greater scrutiny of safety performance and regulatory compliance, plus increased enforcement interventions.
For additional information, call J. J. Keller at 1-800-327-6868, visit jjkeller.com or e-mail email@example.com.

North Carolina-based genetic resources fuel big scientific progress
Researchers have long been frustrated by promising lab results that hit obstacles on the road to human application. Sometimes this is because research in other living organisms is very limited in terms of what conclusions scientists can safely extrapolate to the human population as a whole. One reason for this problem is that organisms studied in the laboratory lack the genetic diversity of humans.
To overcome this obstacle, scientists have begun to create libraries of genetic material. These libraries – called Genetic Resource Panels (GRPs) – enable researchers to look at how genetic variation impacts living systems in a careful and systematic manner – an approach that they think will help draw more robust conclusions, often more quickly.
The Collaborative Cross, a project aimed at mirroring the diversity of human genetics in the laboratory mouse population, is one such GRP. The Collaborative Cross contains ten times the genetic diversity of a typical laboratory mouse population — a level equivalent to the natural genetic variation in humans. Furthermore, the genetic diversity is spread out across the genome of the Collaborative Cross, while the limited ancestry of typical laboratory mice means that about half of the genome lacks good data for geneticists. The Collaborative Cross fills in those gaps, and the result for scientists is a fast track to understanding and testing new treatment and prevention approaches for numerous human diseases with an underlying genetic component.
The project is led by Fernando Pardo-Manuel de Villena, PhD, in the UNC Department of Genetics and a member of UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, David Threadgill, PhD, a geneticist at North Carolina State University and UNC Lineberger member, and Gary Churchill, PhD, at The Jackson Laboratory. The mice are housed and 'curated' at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Pardo-Manuel de Villena is the lead author on the paper featured on the cover of Genetics, which provides the first comprehensive description of the mouse genome library, which is being shared with scientists across the country through an online resource called a genome browser (http://csbio.unc.edu/CCstatus/index.py?run=CCV).
He says, "It is important that all scientists have free access to this resource, which is a census of every genetic line we have and consolidates the work of researchers in the U.S., Israel and Australia in one central place."
The Collaborative Cross is a resource that is offered free to all scientists. The editors of Genetics and G3 note in an editorial accompanying the papers, "Data sharing is particularly crucial for GRPs like the Collaborative Cross. If some pieces of the puzzle have been taken off the board . . . then the puzzle is unlikely to be completed and the community resource is compromised."
This is a big responsibility, notes Terry Magnuson, PhD, Chair of Genetics at UNC-Chapel Hill and Vice Dean for Research at the UNC School of Medicine. "Just as a museum curator is responsible for the heritage of art in their facility, our colleagues at UNC and N.C. State University are responsible for the heritage of the mice in the Collaborative Cross. As scientists use this resource to find ways to prevent and address the genetic changes that cause disease, findings in laboratory experiments should be much easier to translate to humans."
Norman E. Sharpless, MD, UNC Lineberger's associate director for translational research, is collaborating with Charles Perou, PhD, co-director of the center's breast cancer research program, on studies of breast cancer using the Collaborative Cross. He says, "I expect that the results of this work will help human breast cancer patients. Huge consortia are successfully identifying regions of the genome associated with important human diseases like cancer and diabetes, but there are limitations in working with the human genome. The Collaborative Cross provides the best means to understand why certain genes are linked to certain diseases."
Pardo-Manuel de Villena notes that the Collaborative Cross would not be possible without the efforts of the collaborative cross consortium, a global group of scientists that includes National Institutes of Health Director Francis S. Collins, MD, PhD, and National Human Genome Research Institute scientist Samir Kelada, PhD, MPH.
The collaborative cross consortium includes scientists from the following institutions: Tel Aviv University; Geniad, Ltd., University of Western Australia, and Animal Resources Centre, Australia:
Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, University of Oxford, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University; The Jackson Laboratory; National Institutes of Health; Oregon Health and Science University; University of Arizona; University of Colorado Denver; University of Washington; Faculty of Dental Medicine, Hadassah Medical Centers and The Hebrew University, Jerusalem, University of Tennessee Health Science Center; Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research & University of Veterinary Medicine; Duke University; National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Toxicology Program; University of Nebraska-Lincoln; University of Wisconsin-Madison; The Genome Institute at Washington University, St. Louis; and the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
The research was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health; Ellison Medical Foundation; National Science Foundation; Australian Research Council; and the Wellcome Trust. Essential support was provided by the Dean of the UNC School of Medicine; UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and the University Cancer Research Fund from the state of North Carolina. Tel-Aviv University provided core funding and technical support.

I'm in my early 30's and unexpectedly expecting my 3rd child. I developed severe postpartum depression after my 2nd child and I didn't get help until my child was almost a year old. Then it took a few months to find the right medication and counselor. So basically I was a wreck for my poor child's 1st year of life, not to mention my older child and my husband! Anyway, the meds & therapy were a literal life-saver. After finding out I was pregnant this time, my dr. recommended I check in with my previous therapist from time to time and they both strongly recommended I start taking meds & regular therapy as soon as I deliver. I agree. The problem is that the psychiatrist doesn't recommend breastfeeding on the meds due to documented "undesirable effects" on the baby (giving anyone "crazy pills" when they don't need them is not a good idea, much less a tiny baby).
So I will be bottle-feeding. I have already had people grill me on why I'm not breastfeeding and I still have several months to go before the baby is here. I just don't feel like it's anyone's business but I don't want to be as rude to them as I think they are to me! It's not that I'm ashamed of the depression, but I definately don't like to talk about it at length especially to people who just don't get it. Suggestions on answering or responding when I get the breastfeeding questions/lecture?
First of all congratulations!! I agree with you on that it is nobodys business and the choice is yours whether or not to nurse! I chose not to nurse and a couple of people asked me why and i said thats what i want to do. I dont blame you for not wanting to explain why, again because its nobody's business. Sometimes people just like to think they know what theyre talking about and want to push their ideas onto someone else. If you dont want a conflict, sometimes its just best to let them talk, say thats interesting and ill think about it, lol. If they keep talking maybe to get your point across maybe just say, ive already decided what i want to do, and its not up for discussion...I also think taking your meds and being able to take care of your children is far more important than breastfeeding....
I cant stand when other people try to tell other people what to do!! And really this topic is not something that you really need to deal with on top of taking care of your children, yourself and your unborn baby...You know what youre doing is right and dont let anyone tell you different...
Hope this helps...Hope it does!!! (sorry, this got me all fired up...lol)
No matter the reason, choosing to breast or the bottle is a personal decision that no one has the right to make you feel bad about. I would simply tell them that you have no problem with the decisions you've made and that if they don't agree with it, then that's really on their end, not yours. It's so frustrating when people try to tell you what to do with your life, especially as a parent. But I think that this is one area where you definitely have to stand up for your own beliefs.

Dale Hemme of Painesville returned to the classroom as a Marine veteran with two tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The 2000 Harvey High School graduate says he wouldn't have gone to college without that military experience.
Luckily for Hemme, because of a new mandate for Ohio colleges and universities to award credit for military training, coursework and experience, he might finish his degree in less time than he thought.
The Ohio Board of Regents, which sets policy for higher education, ruled in March to clarify how veterans earn college credit from their military service. The policy should be fully implemented by fall 2012 for students who are enrolled in Ohio's higher learning institutions.
Lakeland Community College in Kirtland, along with other local universities and colleges, is working to put this mandate into action.
Tracey Cooper, director of admissions at Lakeland, said the college has more than 200 veterans enrolled in degree programs.
"It's been a challenge. Veterans should be awarded credit that can be part of their (degree) programs," she said. "We are happy that this happened. Making everyone consistent by having the same credit evaluation will be tremendous."
At this point, she said, the school is looking at how the military training can be awarded in the various programs the college offers.
"We have to make sure it's part of their program for them to receive credit toward a degree," she said. "We are really at the starting phases with this process. We need to start to determine what to award credit for."
Granting credit for technical courses that don't belong in the student's chosen degree program is one challenge.
"We have to come to terms what is going to be acceptable coursework," she said.
The American Council on Education, a support organization for colleges and universities, provides a link between military and higher education in reviewing training and experience for college.
The department provides guidance to service members, civilians, military education centers and colleges and universities in interpreting military transcripts and documents, according its website.
Hemme said he received more than 30 credits from his four years in the military from Lake Erie College in Painesville.
"(Lake Erie College) put them all in elective credits," he said. "It didn't go toward any general education requirements."
Hemme is studying business and hopes his degree helps him to manage his automotive shop.
Sunni Gothard, the veterans certifying officer at Lake Erie College, said the institution has been accepting military training since the '80s.
"I giggled to myself a little when the mandate came down," she said. "We have been accepting military credits, and we award based on the ACE recommendations."
LEC is going a step further by helping veterans through its Veteran Education and Transition Support program, which provides support groups and helps with the enrollment process to keep veterans on track to graduation.
Bob Mastronicola, VETS program coordinator, said each veteran has a different experience and degree plans vary from student to student, but more colleges are trying to find ways to support veterans.
Veterans go through a whole new adjustment period after military service, he said.
"They have to have a whole different mental attitude. That's why it's important to take care of these guys."

I'm going to suggest a different double up.. one of a geographic varierty...
Jordan from Oregon in the 1st & Wheaton (WR Ore St) w/ Miami's 2b.
Early April Mock Draft rd player pos school 1 Hageman DL Minnesota 2 Ja'Waun James RT Tennessee 3 West RB Towson 4 Gilmore TE Colorado St 5 T Turner OG LSU 6 Morris ILB Iowa 7 K Smith WR Washington
As far as DE goes, Dion Jordan reminds me of JPP but w/ more significant playing time in college against better competition.
Here is a thought for TE... Eifert in the 1st & Dion Sims (Mich State) in the 3rd or 4th. I'll give Kyle Miller the benefit of the doubt. Mastrud? really?
I wouldn't mind seeing a trade down to grab Eifert while picking up a 3rd in the process.
Can anyone care to share how Eifert might compare to Coby Fleener who came out last year?
I like Eifert...but id be looking at Keller and Cook in FA as well. Also in the draft...Im pretty high on Fauria. I don't think he is as polished as Eifert...but the guy is a absolute monster in the redone and we need help there BAD.
In terms of doubling up; I'm a sucker for corners, so if we're picking in the 5-10 range (possible), I'd like to see Milliner as a possible pick. Then maybe follow him up with Darius Slay from Miss St in the 4th (hoping to see him in person in the Gator Bowl, so we'll see how I feel about him after that). Then at TE, I definitely would like to see an early 2nd round pick on Fauria or another comparable TE. Maybe a later pick on Lutzenkirchen or possibly Mychal Rivera out of Tennessee (although I don't know if he's too Charles Clay-ish). We'll see, just my preliminary musings.
My dream would be to triple up with Hunter/Patterson/Rogers lol.
If Eifert is gone, who would be your preference at TE, Fauria or Ertz?
I've see Ertz projected in the second and Fauria as low as the 4th or 5th? Does that seem right?
We def need a TE, either draft in round 2-3 (unless we can pull a trade down in 1st for eifert), or the draft.
Don't think we need to jump the gun and double
Up at the TE position. We need to give Egnew another year, but a starter who can bust the seam and/or one with height to catch the rock in the redone/endzone is crucial.

The sun is out. Memorial Day is around the corner. I think its safe to say we would all like to pick up the pace of our workouts in order to see some significant results before setting foot on the sandy beaches.
Motivation is at an all-time high. But before you go stepping up your current routine a notch, think about your actions prior to your workout and once it is complete. Looking and feeling good should not have to come with consequences. The best way to remain injury-free is to take just five minutes and practice a few self-myofacial release (MFR) techniques.
I found this article from the Hospital for Special Surgery that gives a fabulous explanation of what MFR is and why almost all of us should do it. Check it out:
Now that you understand the importance of MFR, I want to point you in the right direction on how to get started. Most health clubs offer foam rollers to their members, but if you don't have access to any, you can purchase your own. They are inexpensive and you can go directly to Amazon to get one. here are loads of wonderful ones on the market, but I recommend the most basic one to my clients and friends:
The foam roller will soon be your best friend. I call it a cheap massage. There are so many different exercises to try that I won't list them, but if you are unclear how to use it I will personally walk you through some of my favorites. Just contact me through Facebook or my website www.kfitnyc.com and I'll be happy to lead you in the right direction.
Exercise leads to muscle soreness, but it should not lead to pain. Make sure you are cleared by your doctor to workout, and be sure you start at the proper exercise level. (Did you read my April article regarding training intensity and heart rate monitors?) Then do yourself a favor and grab a foam roller and use it often. Your body will cheerfully thank you.

BWW Interviews: Teal Wicks of Broadway-Bound JEKYLL AND HYDE Answers Our Silly Query
After several years of being "green" as Elphaba in the Los Angeles, San Francisco and Broadway productions of the hit musical WICKED, singer/actress Teal Wicks can now be seen touring the country in the new Broadway-bound revival of JEKYLL & HYDE: THE MUSICAL, in which she co-stars with Tony nominee Constantine Maroulis and Grammy nominated pop star Deborah Cox.
Featuring book and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and music by Frank Wildhorn, this newly-conceived production -- which began previews locally at the La Mirada Theater for the Performing Arts last year -- will now be playing a limited 3-week engagement at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood starting February 12, before finally making its April bow at the Marquis Theatre in New York City.
Trading in her witch broom and pointy black hat, Wicks is now cinched into the 19-century corsets of Emma Carew, the uber-loyal fiancée of Dr. Henry Jekyll (played by Maroulis). While on the road, Ms. Wicks agreed to answer a few of our silly, rapid-fire questions... in which we learn her pre-show rituals, her past musical influences, and what she likes to belt out in the shower...
Subject: Teal Wicks
Nickname: "twicks"
Hometown: Sacramento, CA
Hi, Teal! So, you spent your college years here in Orange County, CA as a musical theater student at the University of California Irvine (UCI). Looking back at it now at 2013, what were some of the more significant things you learned about yourself that you first discovered during your time at that school?
Well, I discovered I could belt. I discovered Chekhov. I discovered that there is always more to learn and there is no such thing as a finished product when it comes to your art.
Many, of course, know you for playing Elphaba in WICKED in L.A., San Francisco and on Broadway. What was your favorite part of that experience?
It was a huge undertaking and I really discovered who I was as a performer through it all. I worked with so many amazing people and learned a lot from every one of them. I just grew a lot throughout my journey as Elphaba, and I am so grateful for it all... the good and bad, it has only made me stronger.
Would you ever go "Green" again?
My Broadway run was pretty much the pinnacle of my WICKED journey and I am happy discovering new roles, but [I might] with the right cast and maybe somewhere abroad like Australia.
You are currently playing Emma Carew in the Broadway-bound revival of JEKYLL & HYDE. What do you feel has been the most rewarding aspect of playing this role?
Tearing up the dance floor with Deborah Cox! Basically, this is quite a phenomenal cast and it is just a blast to play on stage with these folks every night.
Alright... time for the lightning round... Do you have any pre-show rituals that you do to prepare before a performance?
Vocal warm-ups and some stretching... coffee and some tunes to get in the zone.
Okay, imagine you've got an iPod and we stole it from you. What music will we find on it?
Music takes up about 75% of the storage on my phone, so I can't even begin to list individual artists! But mostly you'd find... classic rock, indie folk-rock, bluesy ladies, singer-songwriters from the 1960's and on, rough demos my boyfriend sends me of his original music, and my voice lessons.
In one sentence, describe what goes through your head right before you step out on stage:
Deep breath... And go.
What's your favorite musical cast album of all time?
Tough one! Too hard to pick one! RENT in high school; THE WILD PARTY (Andrew Lippa) and THE LAST FIVE YEARS in college; and now FLOYD COLLINS and ONCE.
Who were some of your icons and/or influences that have helped shape your journey as an actor?
In no particular order: Kate Winslet, Julie Andrews, Mary Louise Parker, Daniel Day Lewis, Gene Kelly, Sherie Renee Scott, Brian D'Arcy James, Audra McDonald, Sarah Vaughn, Janis Joplin, Patty Griffin, Bob Dylan... and my parents.
So what's the song that you like belting in the shower or when you're all alone in the car?

… of hitters! I mean, think about it – who do the Dodgers really have that is a major league hitting prospect who looks like Gordon, maybe Lambo – that's it. Gordon has a crazy huge upside, and while I still like Lambo, this is his "make or break" year. He has to start raking. He regressed last year, but looked better in the AFL. It's wake up-time for him.
Can any of these players become a starter on the team?
- Ivan DeJesus, Jr.? Not enough pop to justify his lack of speed. Forget him as a starter at 2B, and he's certainly not a starting SS. Utilityman is the best he will be.
- Trayvon Robinson? 4th Outfielder, although he could possibly play LF, if we needed a leadoff hitter, but Gordon should fill that role in two years, so Robinson looks like a 4th outfielder to me.
- Xavier Paul? This guy could surprise – if there's a sleeper here, it is the X-Man!
- Lucas May? He's not that good as a Catcher and his bat is probably less than Martins. That doesn't bode well for him.
- Kyle Russell? He'll need at least three more years. He's too far away to project anything, although he has crazy power.
- Pedro Baez? He'll be on the mound before the season is over! He can't hit, but he has a cannon on his shoulder.
- Scott Van Slyke? He had a nice year, but let's see him do it at a higher level, then I might say he's a prospect, but right now, he's not!
- Brian Cavazos-Galvez? Jonathan Garcia? Steven Caseres? Gorman Erickson? Too early. Way too early to even predict, but I lean towards NO! Don't get excited.
- Jerry Sands? Career AA Player!
- Tony Delmonico? Not as a Catcher, well he doesn't look like a Catcher. He has a bat that could be good. Can he play 2B?
- Austin Gallagher? Ha!
- Nick Buss? Probably not! No, NOT!
- Preston Mattingly? Please!
- AJ Ellis? Sub, probably a #3
- Jamie Hoffman? 5th or 7th OF.
The cupboard is bare right about now, which is precisely why the Dodgers need to offer arbitration to Wolf and Hudson. We should find out very soon. They need to start drafting some hitters. Fortunately, the Dodgers are stocked with good young arms, which I shall address in my next column.

Minneapolis SWAT officer wins big on TV reality showMINNEAPOLIS — A Minneapolis police SWAT officer is the big winner on a television reality show.
By: Associated Press, Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — A Minneapolis police SWAT officer is the big winner on a television reality show.
Forty-five-year-old Officer Tony Caspers of Blaine beat 13 other SWAT officers in a competition on the Outdoor Channel.
Caspers was declared the winner Wednesday night of a reality television series called ETU — Elite Tactical Unit.
Caspers and other officers from around the U.S. battled drug kingpins and returned pretend gunfire in a series of make-believe scenarios that included raiding houses and rescuing hostages. The officers used laser guns rather than live ammunition.
Caspers is a 24-year veteran of the Minneapolis Police Department. The Star Tribune reports he won $10,000 for himself and $100,000 of equipment for the Minneapolis Police Department's SWAT unit.
The episodes will re-air on the Outdoor Channel next month.

IATA's DG & CEO called for global standards to be at the heart of framework for ASEAN single market in Singapore on 11 February
In 2012, some 3 billion people and 50 million tonnes of cargo are expected to take to the skies. By 2030, these figures will have nearly doubled. Yet, already, the signs of strain are showing at some of the world's leading airports.
The UK Government still has not stepped back from its decision to rule out capacity expansion at London Heathrow; Munich voters have ruled out a third runway; and Frankfurt's fourth runway is still curtailed by a night-time curfew.
On top of countries not building sufficient infrastructure, the European Commission is set to tinker with a slot allocation system that has been successful since the 1970s. IATA's Worldwide Slot Guidelines (WSG) initiative provides the framework for slot allocation on a global basis. It is used at a number of major airports today and ensures a level playing field for all carriers.
By advocating grandfather rights, the WSG provides the certainty airlines need for long-term planning and consumers need for travel schedules. Aircraft cost millions of dollars and carriers need to know that they will be able to utilize these valuable assets in a manner they see fit. Furthermore, the system's transparency ensures a coordinated network, guaranteeing airlines appropriate take-off and landing slots on a global basis.
The European Commission (EC) Airport Package, released in late 2011, has elicited a cautious response from IATA. The formalization of secondary trading, which has long been standard practice in some countries, is definitely a positive step. Strengthening the role of the coordinator, greater transparency in transactions and stiffer penalties for airlines that transgress the rules are also welcomed.
While these steps forward are welcomed, some developments are of major concern. Wording of the Airport Package makes it clear that the EC will consider an auction process for primary slots in the future, for example.
More seriously for the immediate future, the EC is considering a move away from the 80/20 use-it-or-lose-it slot rule that works so well in favour of an 85/15 stipulation. The Airport Package proposal also redefines a slot series, essentially making it shorter.
Peter Stanton, IATA Head of Worldwide Airport Slots, says neither proposal makes sense and combined they are "the perfect storm". He believes the change to 85/15 coupled with a tighter definition of a slot series would remove any chance of operational flexibility, especially when you take into account seasonal fluctuations.
"Airlines need some leeway to account for a short period of low demand or uncontrollable circumstances such as technical problems or bad weather," he says.
The goal of the EC review was to make "better and more efficient use of capacity", but Stanton questions whether this laudable aim would be achieved by the new proposal. "The reality is that many major airports have capacity utilization of 95% or greater," he notes.
"London Heathrow has 480,000 slots and operates at around 99% capacity. How do you improve upon that? The only thing that would really help Heathrow is a third runway."
Arguments against 85/15 don't stop there. As IATA Director General and CEO Tony Tyler has noted, proposed changes to the existing use-it-or-lose-it slot rule will provide some perverse incentives that would not be in the interest of the environment, capacity or efficiency.
"Changing to 85/15 incentivizes airlines to fly when demand is not there," he says. "The unintended consequence of flying empty planes does not improve either competitiveness or environmental performance."
Moreover the global standard is 80/20 and it is being used around the world at 163 airports as part of the WSG. Just as it has done with its Emissions Trading Scheme, Europe is once again looking to fly in the face of worldwide standards.
Network planning and slot issues are not easily resolved between disparate systems. China understands this and is now working to bring its own slot guidelines in line with the rest of the world. Mexico is another example of a country looking to engage in the WSG and the 80/20 rule. There are calls for India—where the Indian Ministry of Civil Aviation is introducing its own slot guidelines—to do likewise.
A decision on whether to adopt the proposals in the Airport Package is expected around the end of the year. There will be a vote in the Transport Committee in October and a plenary session in November. Any new regulation is not expected to come into force until mid-2013 at the earliest.
Stanton is confident that a strong case for 80/20 will be made and the Commission will see the sense in the arguments. "The EC has laid down the gauntlet and the industry has to respond," he says. "But it is important to remember that we have the same ambition. The aim is for all parties to provide sufficient capacity for Europe to remain competitive."
The EC is confident in its proposal. According to the analysis carried out by Parliament, the changes could be worth $6.22 billion (EUR5 billion) to the European economy and create 62,000 more jobs between 2012–2025. These figures are based on a predicted increase in utilization at congested airports of 0.2% leading to a 2% annual increase in passenger numbers.
The problem, as Stanton points out, is that this is less than a year's growth for global aviation. Ultimately, even if given the go-ahead, the Airport Package fixes nothing. Not that anything in terms of slot management was broken.
The only possible solution to the looming congestion crisis is a grand plan for airport construction. So far, as Willie Walsh, Chief Executive of the International Airlines Group, has noted in relation to the UK market, a policy of "dither and delay" holds.
IATA has called on authorities at the national and local level to understand that runways bring global economic opportunities to their doorstep. The alternative is turning away business—something nobody can afford in this climate.

Pros: Very noticeable improvement in sound quality
Cons: Everything is on front panel
I bought this amp for my Q701s (Which I won't receive until Friday). When it came I took it out just to make sure it works (All my current headphones are low impedance and don't require an amp). I hooked it up with probably one of the worst possible sources you can imagine: a Nintendo DS (I was in the middle of playing a DS game when it arrived). Of course there was volume, but I also almost immediately noticed that the soundstage got bigger and the instrument separation became better. This was on my AD700s. I thought to myself it must be me imagining things. Just to make sure I switched back to directly plugging into the DS and the DS->Objective2->Ad700 setup. There really was an improvement, not just volume, I adjusted the knob so that the volumes were the same. The improvement is definitely real and doesn't require careful listening to notice, it was almost immediately noticeable. Needless to say, I am impressed as I have always been skeptical of headphone amps, but this one made me believe all the hype.

Creating a fairer Britain
This free service, which covers your whole journey, is available not only to people who are permanently or physically disabled but also to anyone who has difficulty moving around, for example because of their disability, age or a temporary injury. Just ask for the right service when you book - from your travel agent or tour operator, airline or airport. This can include helping you to board the plane or finding the most suitable seat on your flight.
Download PDF version | Word version | Easy read version
This short guide gives you an overview of your rights and explains what you can do to ensure your journey runs smoothly from start to finish.
*You will see the term persons with reduced mobility used at some airlines and airports across Great Britain. This is the legal term used to define airline passengers who find it difficult to move around easily because of factors such as disability or age.
Before you travel, consider the kind of assistance you may need.
Airports, airlines, tour operators and travel agents must provide clear and easy to use information and must make information accessible to customers in other formats such as large print and audio. Websites should also be accessible for all users.
Airline safety rules must always be available to the public and can be found on airline websites or by contacting them.
These rules, which may vary from airline to airline, may state that anyone unable to fasten their seatbelt, leave their seat and reach an emergency exit unaided should be accompanied. This also applies to passengers who need lifting, or help with breathing, feeding, assistance in the toilet, or taking medication.
On smaller aircraft, there may be limitations on the number of disabled passengers who can travel for safety reasons.
Airlines can only refuse a booking from a disabled or less mobile passenger if accepting it would break safety rules or if the size of the aircraft or its doors makes boarding or carriage physically impossible.
If a booking is refused, the airline, or its agent, must inform you of the reasons why.
When you book, always tell your airline, travel agent or tour operator if you need assistance when you travel.
You may be asked to provide medical clearance if your health could be affected when you fly. Passengers with a permanent and stable disability do not require this and you should not be asked for medical clearance just to prove you need help.
If it is necessary for you to carry liquid medicines or medical equipment in your hand luggage, please remember to bring a letter from your doctor so you are not prevented from bringing these through the security area. Your doctor may charge you for this letter.
You can find out more about layout and facilities at your chosen airport in advance via their website or by contacting them directly.
Remember to confirm any pre-booked assistance when you check in.
You can take up to two items of mobility equipment with you. Airlines may not be required to compensate you in full if this equipment is lost or damaged so consider separate insurance cover.
Always check beforehand if there are any safety or security restrictions on certain medical equipment such as oxygen cylinders.
Airports are responsible for providing assistance to disabled and less mobile passengers to get you to your flight. This includes, for example, checking in and going through security. You must not be charged for this assistance.
Airport or airline staff must help you to get to the toilet before, during and after your flight but are not required to provide personal assistance in bathrooms.
Disabled and less mobile passengers who have difficulty moving around will normally be called for boarding first. If you are unable to climb stairs, the way you board will depend on the situation and equipment used.
All staff dealing with the travelling public at airports or on planes must have disability awareness training. Some staff, such as those employed to provide direct assistance, will have more specialist training. However, this does not mean that staff will be experts in all types of disability or in using disability equipment. You will need to tell them how they can best meet your needs.
Moving around on an aircraft can be difficult because of limited space.
Newer aircraft are more likely to have better access and to include features such as improved signage, lighting and materials and some wide-bodied airplanes have accessible toilets.
Airlines must communicate essential flight information accessibly to all passengers throughout your journey. If you need a personal briefing in a particular format, tell the cabin crew.
Assistance or guide dogs are allowed in the cabin without charge on approved routes. Larger dogs will normally sit on the floor whilst lighter dogs can be carried in the owners lap. Due to space constraints, it may not be possible for a large dog to sit at the owner's feet so a second seat may be required. The airline may charge for this.
However, under the UK Pet Travel Scheme, dogs are only allowed to enter the UK on certain routes so remember to check the route you wish to fly beforehand.
See DEFRA and Guide Dogs for the Blind Association in our useful links section for more information.
If you require assistance, you will usually be the last to leave as it is easier to move around in an empty cabin. However, if you need to leave quickly, to catch another flight or to get to the toilet, for example, you should request this when you book your flight.
The air travel industry is working hard to meet its obligations under the new law. For more information, please visit the Gov.UK transport website.
It is important to tell your airline, airport, booking agent or flight operator straight away if you have any problems receiving help. If you are not satisfied with the response or you wish to complain about a breach of the law, the Civil Aviation Authority can advise you on how to do this. For further information please visit the Civil Aviation Authority website..
If you are based in Northern Ireland, please contact the Consumer Council for Northern Ireland (CCNI). If the problem originated outside the UK or on a foreign airline in Europe, please contact the Civil Aviation Authority for advice.
Contact details for relevant organisations can be found in the Useful links section.
The time limit for making a claim to a court is six months less one day, starting from the date the discrimination happened.

What a joke our community is turning out to be. We have three members of the Town Council who are dissatisfied with the way the new council is working here in Old Orchard Beach, so they are crying "recall" and getting a selective few to do the dirty work. And now other people are trying to recall these three councilors.
Old Orchard Beach Town Clerk Kim McLaughlin goes over a blank recall petition Tuesday with David Francoeur, who's leading an effort to recall four of the seven town councilors. On Thursday, a separate group started a drive to recall the other three councilors.
2013 File Photo/Gabe Souza
The tables were turned from a year or so ago, when Michael Coleman, Robin Dayton and Robert Quinn were making all the decisions before they even sat down at a council meeting.
We have lost numerous dedicated employees through termination by this town manager for no just cause, which has exposed the town to several lawsuits. When does it end?
We have lost a dedicated General Assistance person who served our community with dignity and was let go for no just cause. We lost our public works director and the finance director. What's next?
For years I have been stating that we should hire within our own community so that the person in control has an idea of what this community is all about.
Two names come to mind for an interim town manager: Mr. George Kerr and Mr. Jerome Plante, who are both honorable, respected and loved members of our town who have served us well in the past.
I have a piece of advice for the interim town manager who this council will have to choose.
It's time to take care of our own, employ our own as we have done in the past and make sure they live within Old Orchard Beach and have knowledge of Old Orchard Beach so that they may serve us well.
Forget the recalls. We don't need them. Councils change -- get over it and move on.

Catholic schools' defenders don't make convincing case
Sister Joyce Mahany, who spoke for Catherine McAuley, and Mary Lee King, who spoke for Cheverus, are entitled to a response to their letters of March 8 ("Catholic schools strive to welcome all").
Sister Mahany has suggested that I step forward and offer a scholarship. I have already stepped forward and established an ongoing scholarship at Saint Joseph's College, founded by the Sisters of Mercy.
I have also established a specialized school in Haiti to teach the poorest children English and academic courses online, with no cost to them.
Both Sister Mahany and Mary Lee King stress the importance of the teaching of religion. There is absolutely no correlation between the teaching of religion and morality. Morality cannot be taught. The troubling sexual scandal by priests in the Catholic Church is evidence of that.
Mary Lee King stresses the superiority of Jesuit schools and cites "cura personalis" or "the care of the entire person" as a guiding principle of a Jesuit education. It cannot be said that the public schools do not teach the entire person.
Fifty to 75 years ago, the Jesuits had a reputation for being excellent teachers. The ranks of the Jesuits have been decimated with the falling-off of vocations.
Currently Jesuit high schools and colleges, including Cheverus, have very few Jesuits in the classroom. They have been replaced by laypersons. To suggest that Cheverus offers a Jesuit education today is misleading.
Mary Lee King has difficulty accepting the word "elite." The term "elite" is defined as: "A group enjoying superior intellectual, social or economic status." This definition describes both Cheverus and McAuley. They are selective and noninclusive. They select the intellectually able and those who can pay the five-digit tuition fee. They exclude many who do not meet these standards.

Why Pope Francis is different, and why a Jesuit pope is rare
SCU Chancellor William Rewak, S.J., looks at how the simplicity and humility of Francis I makes him both a unique pope and a common Jesuit. This article was written for the San Jose Mercury News and first appeared on April 3, 2013.
The interest in the new pope has been fueled by his obvious humility, his informality, his reaching out to the poor, and his penchant for stripping down the layers of renaissance garb that often engulfed his predecessors. He is a simple man with simple tastes.
His simplicity and humility are classic attributes to which all members of his religious order, the Jesuits, aspire, but it is not a Jesuit attribute to rise in the ranks of Catholicism to bishop or cardinal—much less pope. However, there is a wisdom to the choice that is rooted in the Jesuit tradition.
When Pope Francis entered the Jesuit Order, he chose a lifestyle, an intellectual history, a spirituality that formed his worldview. He chose a religious order that was not another expression of a silent monastic life but one that encouraged its members to dialogue with the world. Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Jesuits in 1534, wanted us to live and work wherever there was need.
For this Argentinian Jesuit, his work will not be delegated; it will be borne with love.
Prayer was to be a large part of Jesuits' lives, but it would grow out of their involvement with the poor, the uneducated, the dispossessed. They were to be "contemplatives in action."
That has been Francis' history. It has been imprinted on his heart. So when Pope John Paul II appointed him bishop in 1992, that Jesuit commitment never wavered. He was ordained a bishop, but he remained a Jesuit. Though now a pope, he remains a Jesuit. The Jesuit seal is on his papal coat of arms.
However, since he is the ultimate Superior and cannot be limited by other obligations, he cannot retain the rights and duties of being a Jesuit: He cannot attend formal gatherings of Jesuits that review rules and lifestyle. He cannot take part in ordinary governance.
Is Francis still bound by the vows that all Jesuits take—poverty, chastity, and obedience? Ladislas Orsy, S.J., a canon lawyer who teaches at the Georgetown School of Law, says: "Religious vows are made to God, so his vow of poverty holds but he is the only judge of how to observe it in his circumstances. His vow of obedience, however, loses its meaning because he has no Superior to obey." And, of course, his vow of chastity still holds.
So the legal bond between him and the society has been broken; however, the spiritual bond, the brotherhood, the ideals by which he and other Jesuits have been formed—all these remain.
Much has been made of the fact that Francis is the first Jesuit pope. Why hasn't this happened before?
After a long formation, Francis, like other Jesuits, made what we call Final Profession, which includes several promises. One of them, unique to men's religious orders, is never to seek the office of bishop, and never to accept it unless the pope expressly wishes it. Ignatius enjoined that promise on us because he wanted us available, ready to take up our cloaks and go wherever we are sent. A bishop cannot in that way be available.
Further, Ignatius wanted to keep his Jesuits out of the renaissance cauldron of ambition, an ambition that entertains us (Showtime's The Borgias) but was always a scandal.
So the possibility of a Jesuit pope has been minimal.
If Pope Francis' decision to hold the Holy Thursday liturgy in a jail for juvenile offenders is any indication of his future work, it is clear he will be a bishop of compassion, a shepherd eager to care for his flock.
For this Argentinian Jesuit, his work will not be delegated; it will be borne with love.
William Rewak, S.J., is Chancellor and former President of Santa Clara University. Two conversations with him about his book of poetry, The Right Taxi, along with several poems and a reading, appeared in the Winter 2013 Santa Clara Magazine.
