"The exhibits are like theatrical stage sets, with the animals as actors," says Rogier van der Heide, lighting designer for Naturalis, the new National Museum for Natural History, which opened in April in Leiden, near Amsterdam in the Netherlands. This 150,000-sq.-ft. (13,500 sq. m) building, which has 60,000 sq. ft. (5,400 sq. m) of exhibit space, contains a world-famous collection exhibited in a themed rather than chronological manner--a modern approach to natural history. With seven exhibit areas designed by seven different design companies, the lighting becomes the unifying element, adding color, movement, and emotion to the displays.
The principal of Hollands Licht, a Dutch lighting design firm located in Amsterdam, van der Heide is a 27-year-old wunderkind with wide-eyed enthusiasm about lighting. With roots in the theatre (and seven productions already on the slate for this season), he has shifted his concentration to architectural lighting and enjoys the challenge of finding strong creative concepts to enhance venues. In 1996, upon being awarded the contract for the Natural History Museum, he set out to focus on lighting a partially transparent building with see-through walls designed by Dutch architect Fons Verheijen.
"It is a radical vision of museum design, with galleries, workshops, and ateliers for the curators connected to the exhibit areas," says van der Heide. "It is also very alive, not just a gallery for dead animals." In fact, the museum is the public area of a scientific/research institute (Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum) with more than 10 million items in its collections. Just 0.1% of what it owns is actually on display; the rest is housed in a 20-story-tall storage tower that is climate-controlled and only open to researchers.
"Some of the objects are very sensitive to light and require low footcandles, no more than 50 lux," van der Heide points out. "But you can't light it all in such a diffuse way." To solve this problem, he custom-designed a fiber-optic lighting system with variable lenses that allow a choice of beam spread. The fixtures are also designed to tilt and pan and hold a filter frame. The LD worked on the design of the fixture with Dutch company Philips Lighting at its manufacturing plant in Orleans, France.
After walking through an entry area that features a display of prehistoric fossils and a three-story dinosaur skeleton with a projection of its body on a white wall, museum guests select their own path through the seven themed galleries. In the Life gallery, exhibits show how animals move, be it in their search for food or in their escape from predators. "The animals are very kinetic and we wanted to show how they move in the air, on land, and in water," says van der Heide. The animals are highlighted by CDM (ceramic discharge metal-halide) Philips MasterColor lamps in Erco track fixtures.
Van der Heide says that Erco, a German manufacturer, won the contract for a major portion of the lighting equipment. "I wrote performance specifications that were not product-specific," he notes. "Many companies bid but Erco could provide what we needed at the right price." Erco fixtures used include the Pollux, Optec, Quinta, and Monopoll. Philips fiber optics, Agabekov 12V miniature track lights with xenon lamps, ETC Source Fours, and color-changing units from Fly of Italy were also specified. All the dichroics and gels are by Rosco, with DHA gobos.
In the water area of the Life gallery, the white walls are washed with tubular fluorescent TL lamps wrapped in blue Rosco gel. Placed on the floor, these outline the bottom of the display areas with a blue glow. A 12m-wide (39') glass display case shaped like a giant wave holds fish and various underwater life. "There is no real water, just the suggestion," says van der Heide. "It counts on your imagination." Inside the glass wave is a fiber-optic system using a 150W HID light source.
The nearby land display has a wooden floor whose color suggests a desert surface. Here lifelike stuffed animals such as cheetahs and antelope play under high-pressure sodium White SON lamps from Philips. These are used in Erco fixtures as key light and high backlight on each animal and fitted with orange dichroic filters. "These are warmer than halogen but whiter than other sodium sources," says the LD, who likes the nice yellow tone these lamps provide.
The Theatre of Nature shows the variety of animals on Earth, with displays ranging from a coral gallery to stages with bears and monkeys in almost abstract settings. "There is no glass so that the animals are very close to the visitors, and no old-fashioned dioramas or painted landscapes," says van der Heide, who adds that this gallery has the largest fiber-optic system in the museum, using Philips 100W HID lamps with built-in reflectors as the source.
For UV control, a custom fiber-optic system whose fixtures have small filter holders was used to light a large oval glass showcase housing the most delicate objects, such as fish and coral. Plastic fiber was selected for its lower weight and what van der Heide considers a nicer color rendition, especially on long runs. The fixtures themselves hang on a floating track 9' (2.7m) from the floor on steel wires outside of the 60'-wide (18m) showcase. The system uses Focus 100 lamps from Philips. "The showcase is sealed for security reasons," the LD explains. "The lighting is outside because they didn't want maintenance technicians inside the box."
Visitors can walk through a section of the oval and be surrounded by blooming plants that are laminated between two layers of glass. The fiber-optic pendants hang outside each section to backlight the plant life from both sides. The fiber also projects shadows of the plants onto the floor, creating the look of life-size foliage gobos. Plants that normally float on the water, like lilies and seaweed, are displayed overhead so they can be seen from below. "You see them as if you were an underwater diver," says van der Heide. A walkway above also allows them to be seen from another angle.
The nearby stages featuring bears and monkeys have Erco track lighting and 12V fixtures (the transformers are under the stage) meant to be industrial ceiling fixtures, but the LD simply turned them upside down to use as footlights. "This gives a theatrical look, like the animals are in the spotlights," he says. The lamps are a mixture of Philips CDM and HID, as well as tungsten-halogen by Osram Sylvania and General Electric.
To block out all UV radiation on irreplaceable objects, van der Heide specified lamps with an invisible coating that absorbs 60-70% of the damaging UV rays. To block the other 30-40%, he added dichroic glass made to filter out certain wavelengths. "We use both for extra safety," he says, noting that this is an expensive choice, adding $35 to $50 to the cost of each fixture.
A gallery called Ecosystems does not have any animals or artifacts, but serves as a theatre for films about different climates such as a rainforest, the desert, the ocean, and a polar region. The gallery changes color at the start of each film, with Fly Trichroma fixtures used for the color and ETC Source Fours to add gobos and patterns. Van der Heide replaced the Source Four's tungsten-halogen source with a non-dimmable 150W CDM for a 9,000-hour lamp life, and replaced Fly's standard 1kW halogen source with a 700W MSD lamp for extra light output.
The Fly fixtures light 12 large fabric projection surfaces stretched like scrims on aluminum tensile frames that create curved abstract shapes in the black space. There are a total of 45 color-changing fixtures, 36 of which are hung in groups of three above each frame so that all the light comes from above. A Conductor show control system from Avenger Systems of Belgium integrates the video, audio, and lighting in all of the galleries, including Ecosystems.
"I used deep, saturated colors to avoid any impression of realism and to give just a slight suggestion of a landscape," says van der Heide, who worked with MET Studio in London on the design of Ecosystems. The saturated colors were chosen to match the themes of the films, with blue for the ocean, orange for the desert, and green for the rainforest. The colors spread throughout the gallery with 600 looping cues programmed in sync with surround sound. "I wanted to create a true mix of light and audiovisual design, using the same fabric elements to create different atmospheres," the LD says. He chose the Fly Trichroma fixtures for their subtractive color-mixing qualities (they have three rotating DMX-controlled glass disks) and smooth color changes. "The colors fade beautifully from one to another," he says.
Tom Hennes and THinc Design in New York City designed the dark theatrical exhibits in the Dynamics of the Earth gallery, a space with no ambient light where the artifacts are dramatically lit against a black background. The theme of this gallery is to show how internal and external powers, from volcanoes to erosion and the sun, shape and smooth the surface of the Earth. To offer visualizations of weather conditions and atmospheric elements, van der Heide put effects disks into a DMX-controlled accessory for the ETC Source Fours and projected snow, rain, and water on the walls (and the visitors) in this walk-through environment.
A highlight of the gallery is a model of the Earth with red and yellow areas indicating the interior areas and blue for the exterior. The model is painted with fluorescent paint and lit with very powerful Scandinavian blacklights using 45W HID sources, similar to the ones used in Mercedes Benz and BMW headlights.
The building's aluminum facade creates a perfect large-scale projection screen. When the museum opened, van der Heide used a Pani 2.5kW HMI projector to drape the facade with 60' (18m) images of animals. "This was my gift to the museum," he says.

Remember Me
I would like to thank the two families who have agreed to be host families for our German exchange students this Fall. However, I am still trying to find host families for the remaining six students. The deadline for placing the students is April 28.
I know I have to; I just don't want to.
It is inevitable. It is my destiny.
I believe in the power of expanded exports to spur the creation of good jobs, but at the same time, it is critical that we enforce the international rules of trade. When our competitors manipulate markets, engage in illegal dumping, or raise barriers to trade, the United States must take action on behalf of Ohio workers, farmers, and service providers.
Enforcing our trade laws is not a partisan issue. It is a jobs issue and I am proud to stand with the people I represent when their jobs are threatened by the illegal trade practices of our competitors.
Beware: Wind turbines still proposed for eastern Van Wert County!
Our committee opposing the proposed Dog Creek wind project has been attending several township meetings. At the meetings, Dan Litchfield, Iberdrola, has updated everyone on the progress of the proposed Dog Creek wind project.
1) Iberdrola has enough land/contracts signed to go forth with the Dog Creek project.
2) The project will have 50-60 wind turbines heading east of the existing Van Wert Blue Creek project, north of State Route 30 and stopping at Bockey Road.
3) Anyone that has signed or will sign a contract to put a wind turbine on their property cannot get out of the contract once it is signed.
If you are opposed to this Dog Creek project, please voice your opinion now. Do not wait until 50-60 MORE turbines are in your back yard.
Iberdrola claims they are a good business partner but in the next breath wants us to give them huge tax abatements (in lieu of paying taxes) for the project. What should have Van Wert County received instead of the $2,070,000 check? $9,120,000 is what Iberdrola should be paying each year. So instead of paying $60,000 per turbine, they paid $18,000. If Iberdrola is going to force us, in the Dog Creek area, to live by these turbines for the next 25 years, let's make sure they pay the full tax amount.
Please call Van Wert County Commissioners to let them know you oppose the Dog Creek wind project and any other tax abatement.
Thad Lichtensteiger - 419-203-1835
Stan Owens - 419-203-2446
Todd Wolfrum - 419-238-4200
The Van Wert County Commissioners will have the final vote for the tax abatement on this project. The commissioners have told our committee that they will listen to all township trustees on this issue. Ultimately the commissioners will make the decision.
Your opinion to the commissioners does matter. Please call today.
To read the facts about wind, please go to saveourskylineohio.org. If you would like to be on this opposing committee, please email

The last few weeks, I've been working with my colleagues in the Senate to secure an extension of long-term unemployment benefits that is paid for and will help Ohioans who are still struggling in this economy. I wish we didn't need an extension at all, but even five years after the recession officially ended, too many of our friends and neighbors are still out of a job. In fact, the number of those who have been searching for work for at least six months remains at historically high levels, far above even what we've seen at the height of previous recessions.
An unemployment extension is not a moment for celebration; it's a moment for reflection on what hasn't worked in the past to spur job creation for the American people and what we can do better in the future.

He's headed for NDSU and hopes for a degree in engineering.
Let's meet tonight's Student Spotlight senior - Jess Asheim of MLS-Mohall.
(Jess Asheim, MLS-Mohall Senior) "We have such a small class. We're on a first name basis with all of our teachers. If we have problems it's no big deal they can make time out of their schedule to help us and I think because I'm in such a small class we all know each other so well and that makes a lot of competition between us. Probably my favorite classes are the ones with science and math. Last year my favorite class out of them all was chemistry which is weird because a lot of people actually hate it but I loved it. And that's with Mr. Johnson. He's one of my favorite teachers because he makes science fun, makes learning fun. I'm in FFA, science olympiad, a lot of different stuff like that. As far as sports I'm pretty busy with football and basketball and then rodeo in the spring. Next year I plan on going to NDSU in the fall and I'm going into mechanical engineering I'm guessing. I really like science and math so I think mechanical engineering is the practical application of that. As far as long term I'd like to stay in North Dakota because I like how rural it is and how you can know everyone."
Congratulations to Jess - one of four seniors finishing their careers with perfect grade point averages at MLS-Mohall.
Graduation day for all 26 seniors is May 25th.

Finian's Rainbow Will Get a Cast Album; February Release Planned
By Kenneth Jones
The cast and musicians of Broadway's Finian's Rainbow were told Nov. 24 that a studio date has been set to preserve their work on a new cast album of the classic Yip Harburg-Burton Lane score.
Producers David Richenthal, Jack Viertel and Alan D. Marks announced that the cast and orchestra of the critically-acclaimed revival will head into a Manhattan recording studio on Dec. 7. The new Broadway cast album will be produced by Tommy Krasker for PS Classics. The label anticipates an early February street date.
Finian's Rainbow has a book by Yip Harburg and Fred Saidy; lyrics by Yip Harburg; music by Burton Lane; with book adaptation by Arthur Perlman and original adaptation for New York City Center Encores! by David Ives.
The revival is directed and choreographed by Warren Carlyle. Musical supervision and vocal arrangements are by Rob Berman. Original orchestrations are by Robert Russell Bennett and Don Walker.
The production stars Jim Norton (Finian), Kate Baldwin (Sharon), Cheyenne Jackson (Woody), Christopher Fitzgerald (Og) and Chuck Cooper (Bill), plus Guy Davis, Alina Faye, Brian Reddy, David Schramm, Terri White and William Youmans.
Finian's Rainbow opened at Broadway's St. James Theatre on Oct. 29, 2009, to enthusiastic reviews.
The musical boasts such classic songs as "Old Devil Moon," "How Are Things in Glocca Morra?," "When I'm Not Near the Girl I Love (I Love the Girl I'm Near)," "Look to the Rainbow" and "If This Isn't Love."
In October, PS Classics released the debut solo album of Finian's leading lady Kate Baldwin, "Let's See What Happens," which features songs by Lane and Harburg.
Founded in 2000 by Tommy Krasker & Philip Chaffin, and a four-time Grammy nominee (for its cast albums of Assassins, Nine: The Musical, Grey Gardens and Company), PS Classics celebrates the heritage of Broadway and American popular song through its critically acclaimed cast recordings; solo albums by such luminaries as Maureen McGovern, Victoria Clark, Jessica Molaskey and Christine Andreas; and recordings drawn from rare sound archives, including "Sondheim Sings." Its most recent releases include solo albums by Liz Callaway, Rebecca Luker, and Kate Baldwin, plus its all-star studio cast recording of Kitty's Kisses. For more information, visit www.psclassics.com.
Finian's Rainbow plays the St. James Theatre, 246 West 44th Street. The performance schedule is Tuesday through Thursday at 7 PM; Friday and Saturday at 8 PM; with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday at 2 PM, and Sunday at 3 PM.

A movie meant to deliver spiritual healing will send a second man to prison.
Louis Soteriou of Connecticut has agreed to plead guilty to federal fraud charges.
Soteriou was the silent partner in Mac Parker's never-completed film called "A Birth of Innocence." Prosecutors say Parker raised $28 million for the film through an illegal Ponzi scheme. Parker pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges last year and was set to testify against Soteriou at his upcoming trial.
Parker paid Soteriou over $4 million to be an adviser on the film while Soteriou was on a spiritual journey trying to transcend human form. But Soteriou's involvement was never disclosed to investors.
As part of the plea deal, Soteriou will plead guilty to fraud and money-laundering charges and could get up to seven years in prison.

NJ Transit: Trains and buses running on or close after storm
NEWARK - New Jersey Transit buses and trains are cross-honoring tickets to help commuters get to and from work after a winter storm slowed passengers on the roads and rails.
NJ Transit says its rail lines are all operating on or close to schedule.
Bus service has resumed, including in Morris County. But officials say buses face 30 minute delays and detours because of the snow.
Commuters should allow for extra time to get to their destinations today.

NATCHITOCHES— A 10-point comeback attempt with less than a minute to play fell just short Saturday afternoon as the Northwestern State women's basketball team lost to Lamar 71-68 in Southland Conference action.
The Lady Cardinals (9-4, 2-0 SLC) held a 64-54 lead with 51 seconds remaining when NSU's (5-6, 1-1 SLC) Keisha Lee hit a 3-pointer followed by two Kalis Loyd free throws. Loyd, the league's third-leading scorer, scored 20 points and five assists.
Lee scored another 3-pointer and a jump shot to cut it to a four-point lead. After two made free throws from LU's Dominique Edwards, Lee scored two of her own.
Lady Cardinals made one free throw on the ensuing foul, and Breanna Fuller grabbed a missed NSU 3-pointer and layed it in from the right side to make cut it to three.
Brooker Asia made two free throws before NSU's Janelle Perez was fouled with two seconds remaining. Perez, the conference's leading free throw shooter, made both to close out the game.
The Lady Demons finished with 19 turnovers, 14 of them in the first half, and Lamar capitalized for 17 points.
"Turnovers were the one stat that we did not win which resulted in 17 points for Lamar," said Lady Demons basketball co-head coach Brooke Stoehr. "If we cut those in half we get a win but you can't fault their effort.
"They battled their tails off and I will gladly go to battle with any of these kids if they are playing with the heart, energy and effort that they are playing with right now.
Lee (15), Jasmine Upchurch (15), Janelle Perez (14) and Jasmine Bradley (11) all scored in double-digits. Jasmine Bradley finished with her second double-double in three games, collecting 11 rebounds.
"We had great, balanced scoring today," said Stoehr. "I thought that everyone who went in contributed and I really felt their effort."
Edwards finished with 16 points and 10 boards for the Lady Cardinals.
"We have got a long way to go," said Stoehr. "Like I said after our win against McNeese, it is just one game so now we have to regroup and prepare for a quick turnaround at Sam Houston on Monday.
"I feel confident in our team if we can show up and compete like we have the last two games. I think the girls are starting to feel a little more confident and as they continue to mature I think we will see some more w's come up."
Northwestern State will play its next three contests on the road as they travel to Sam Houston on Monday, Oral Roberts on Thursday and Central Arkansas on Jan. 12. The Lady Demons return home Jan. 17 to take on Nicholls.

This Mother's Day will be a very special one for Kate Grodek and her husband, Tom, of Mentor. Little Elise, who is a healthy 4 months old, is the baby they dared not hope for.
For much of her life, Kate thought it would be impossible for her to become a mother. She's among 43 million women around the world living with heart disease.
Born with a congenital heart defect, Kate has lived a life punctuated with surgeries, including the replacement of a pulmonary valve.
At 23, she went into congestive heart failure, and the pulmonary valve needed to be replaced a second time.
The couple wanted very much to have a baby, so her cardiologist referred her Dr. Jeff Chapa, a Cleveland Clinic doctor in obstetrics and gynecology who specializes in high-risk pregnancies.
�"To make sure my heart was in the best shape it could be, we had to plan carefully for my pregnancy," Grodek said. So the two doctors worked together with the couple to determine the timing and then to monitor every moment once the pregnancy had become a reality.
"We talked a lot about what the pregnancy would mean to her even before she became pregnant," said Chapa. "I was initially concerned that she might not be able to handle the additional strain of a pregnancy."
Her cardiologist, who has known her for years, helped put his mind at rest, telling Chapa that Grodek was likely in the best health of her life.
Grodek was 27, working full time as a secretary for Mentor Schools and leading a close-to-normal life, including careful exercise. She and her husband, an eighth grade teacher at Mentor's Shore Middle School, weren't at all daunted by the prospect of what was ahead for them.
"Tom's father was in a wheelchair from the time Tom was 3, so he grew up in a family where going to doctors and hospitals were a regular part of life," she said. "So Tom's not phased by my issues."
They were told the greater risk was to her, not the baby. She would deliver in Cleveland Clinic's Special Delivery Unit on its main Cleveland campus. It's located adjacent to the big operating room and connected to the Clinic's Children's Hospital where a pediatric catheterization laboratory is immediately available if needed.
"They told me there was a slightly higher risk -- about 2 to 5 percent -- that my baby would be born with a congenital heart defect," she recalled.
Kate herself was diagnosed with a heart defect at 6 weeks -- but today that diagnosis would come much sooner. Her mother subsequently had a son who was born without a heart defect.
"They don't really know what causes it," she said.
But prenatal echo cardiograms showed that baby Elise was fine.
The pregnancy proceeded without incident until the final month, when Kate became tired and had a hard time breathing -- classics signs of heart failure.
"I was feeling really run-down," she said. "One night I couldn't catch my breath, and I also couldn't get my heart rate down. When I got to the emergency room they found fluid in my lungs, so they admitted me."
She was going into heart failure.
Her cardiologist arrived at the hospital even before Kate's admission process was complete.
"Her heart was having trouble being able to pump effectively," Chapa said. "She was only a few weeks early, so we decided to deliver her to lessen the stress."
"They're such a great team of doctors," Kate said. "They gave me a C-section and it really was easy."
The added facilities of the Special Delivery Room turned out not to be needed since baby and mother were fine.
"Kate was monitored in our Cardiac Intensive Care unit and her baby was able to stay with her," Chapa said. "That proximity of mother and baby is very important to both after delivery."
One of the things he most enjoyed about the process was seeing how joyful Kate's mom and dad were over becoming grandparents.
"After what they've been through with their daughter's surgeries, seeing her pregnant and delivering a healthy baby was such a huge thing," he said.
Kate needed to be put on additional medication after delivering Elise, because her heart function had declined, he said.
"I'm not quite back to where I was when I became pregnant," Kate said. "But I'm working on it."
She returned to work when Elise was 11 weeks ago, and says she feels fine.
"This is the best thing I've ever done," she said. "Being a mother to Elise is wonderful and we really appreciate having her. This is going to be the best Mother's Day ever."

Federal Point Historic Society: February Meeting will feature Frances Massey speaking on the history of the Island of Lights
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 13 February 2013 00:09
- Written by Super User
The Federal Point Historic Preservation Society will hold its monthly meeting on Monday, February 18, 7:30 pm at the Federal Point History Center, 1121-A North Lake Park Blvd., adjacent to Carolina Beach Town Hall.
This month's program will feature Frances Massey speaking on the history of the Island of Lights Committee. The project was originally founded in 1989-1990 as a project of the short lived Carolina Beach Jaycees. By early 1991 a formal Island of Lights Committee had a membership of 20 volunteers. Today they have an active membership of almost 50. Their ongoing fundraising projects include the April fashion show, a booth at the October Jazz Festival, and, of course, the annual Christmas ornament and Christmas card. Events currently include the Lights on the Lake, the Christmas Parade, the Holiday flotilla, a tour of homes, and the New Years Eve countdown.
Our speaker, Frances Massey has strong ties to the local community. Her family moved to Carolina Beach when she was in 5th grade and she attended Carolina Beach School, Sunset Junior High, and was a member of the first full class at Hoggard High School. She is now retired from a life long career teaching K-5 special education in the New Hanover County Schools.
Also at this month's meeting! The library re-model is finally done and it looks so professional! Our library and achives will be far more functional with room to expand the collection as time goes by. Best of all we will be able to put our hands on specific information much more quickly.
It will also provide a more effective and useful space for writers and researchers. We will "cut the ribbon" to show off our new space to members and visitors just before the meeting.

All my experance with surge brakes are with utilty trailers. I have never seen or herd of anyone adjusting the master spring before. I belive the main problem with surge brakes are they are not used enough. Condensation gets int the system wheel cylinderes freeze up the slide on the tongue dosen't get greased and rusts up. The horse trailer I bout had been sitting four years before I bought it and I didn't get a brake controler for at least a year. I had to run it up 40 mph and bring it to a stop three or four times and after that they have worked fine for the last five years. I turn up the controller up and I can get smoke off the back tires. I admit most of the problems with surge brakes is lack of maitance. But why use a system like that when a lower maitance systom is avabile. Not to mension being able to instantally set the brakes to trailer weight and driving conditions while driving.
Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you. 1964 cub. Farmall 100 and 130.
"Those that say it can't be done should not interrupt the ones who are doing it."
Surge brakes are still widely used. Backing up no longer a problem as they now install an electric line locker that comes on with reverse lights. As for adjustments, my brother got a brandy new boat last year and the master cylinder spring was wrong for the weight. The brake manufacture send him a couple of springs to try till he got the right one. They also have an advantage in that any tow vehicle can pull safely without being equipped with the proper controller.
If you gotta' run a wire anyway, it might as well be hooked to a decent controller.
Electric control also lets you add a break-away that will put the brakes on (required for many trailers).
Jim- Surge brakes also have the built in safety brake-away that manually pulls the master full on. I'm not advocating surge, I just think people don't understand them and therefore they get a bad rap. They are actually a very good, smooth effective brake system and are the best for boat trailers that for obvious reasons are submerged in water. One other thing, they are now using all stainless steel disc hydraulic brakes that makes it even better. I have both electric on my flatbed and surge on the boat and I'll say the surge beats the electric hands down. Also the boat brakes have been trouble free for 23yrs. I wonder how long the flatbed electrics will last? I've been on missions with trailers having electric brakes many times and something goes wrong with the plug and whoops, no brakes.

Choose Your Birth Team
Choosing a maternity care provider is the single most important decision that you will make during this process. Take the time to interview providers to ensure that you find the best possible match. Ask your provider many questions to make sure he/she supports and agrees with your personal birth philosophy (For some guidelines, see "Questions to Ask Your Provider"). You should feel confident that your provider is skilled AND that they will respect your wishes.
Trust your gut! Once you're in labor you won't be able to convince your care provider to go against their own birth philosophy and follow your wishes. This is an unrealistic and often disappointing expectation. Listen to your instincts NOW as to whether or not the provider is the right one for you.
Use the links below to explore the various types of care providers who are available to help you with the birth of your baby. (There are many other types of care providers who can play a supporting or complementary role during your pregnancy, birth and postpartum period! Please visit the Complementary Care section of the site to learn more.)
Obstetricians are highly trained surgeons who specialize in pathology associated with pregnancy and childbirth. OBs work in hospital settings and are most appropriate for women who are considered "high risk" either due to a pre-existing medical condition or a complication developed during pregnancy.

Midwives are experts in normal, uncomplicated labor and birth. They consider birth to be a natural event and tend to have very low rates of medical interventions. [read more]

Doctors of Osteopathy (DOs) have the same caliber of training as an MD, and are licensed to practice medicine and surgery in all 50 states. They differ from MDs in that they have a more holistic view of medicine, viewing the body as an integrated unit of mind, body, and spirit, which contains a natural ability to heal itself. [read more]

Faculty Anthony Scalmato | James Mravec | Kasumi | Keith Corcoran
The goal of this class is to gain a basic understanding of the fundamentals of movement, timing and rhythm and how they convey mood and character, even in the most abstract sense. Animation is the artificial movement of an otherwise static object. By moving that object incrementally - whether by position, color, shape, size, etc., we can create movement. By synching that movement to sound, we emphasize the movement and create further depth and meaning. Required materials: A 7200 rpm hard drive.

The Jackson Police Department's annual Jackson Police Memorial is taking place outside of the department headquarters Wednesday morning.
Nearly six weeks have passed since the shooting death of Jackson Police Detective Eric Smith.
Wednesday morning the Jackson Police Department honored Smith and the 14 other JPD officers who've paid the ultimate sacrifice for the community.
The families of slain JPD officers received Peace Lilies for solace and laid a rose for their loved one who died too soon. An American flag was given to slain JPD detective Eric Smith's family and the families of the other JPD officers who've lost a loved one serving in the line of duty.
"Today is a bittersweet occasion, but at the same time it serves as a remembrance to us of what the ultimate sacrifices these officers have made," said JPD's Police Chief Rebecca Coleman.
Detective Smith's son Quentin Smith said the memorial service was comforting in the sense that others have experienced the same pain and survived.
"This means that it's not just me other people who are out here have been affected so I can't feel selfish or sorry for myself. I have to get on with my life," explained Smith.
Detective Smith is the fourth JPD officer to die in the line of duty over the past 18 years. He was shot and killed inside of the police headquarters and remembered with the utmost respect.
"He would always lend a helping hand he was just that kind of detective, matter of fact he was the best," said Jackson's Deputy Chief of Major Investigations, Deric Hearn.
Officials with the Jackson Police Department said they can never thank the victims' families enough for sharing their loved one with the department.
The untimely death of Detective Smith and those who passed before him help those still serving in blue and black work even harder.
"We're committed to the citizens of our community. We are committed to this city, Jackson is the capital of the state of Mississippi and we're committed to making this the finest community to live in," said Deputy Chief Hearn.
Eric Smith's name is now the 15th name etched in the JPD memorial wall.
With prayers lifted, it's JPD's hope that no other names take up the empty space.
Hundreds of officers and family members of victims are in attendance to pay tribute to the 15 officers who have been killed serving with the Jackson Police Department over the years. This is the first memorial since the shooting death of Detective Eric Smith, who was killed April 4.

Steinbrenner gave his manager a vote of confidence Friday after a national newspaper suggested that Torre be fired if the Yankees were to lose in the first round of the playoffs.
Al Neuharth, the founder of USA Today, wrote in his editorial "Forum" on Friday that "if the Yankees don't make it, the best boss in baseball, George Steinbrenner, finally can show the door to baseball's most overrated manager, Joe Torre."
Neuharth, who watched Thursday night's Game 2 from one of Steinbrenner's private boxes at the stadium, questioned Torre's managerial style in his piece.
"As a lifelong Yankee fan, I think the head groundskeeper could have managed as well as, or better than, Torre has during the past three seasons' playoffs," Neuharth wrote. "Going into Thursday night's game, he has just one win in the past seven showdowns."
Steinbrenner released a statement in response to Neuharth's piece, backing Torre completely.
"I have great respect for Al Neuharth as a businessman and an innovator," Steinbrenner said in a statement. "On this one, he's wrong. He's been caught off base. Joe Torre is my manager. I support him. He's done the job. And he'll be my manager next year."
Torre, who was at the Metrodome for the Yankees' workout, said that he had not read the
USA Today piece, so he could not comment on it.
Torre, who has managed the Yankees to four World Series titles and five American League pennants, is under contract through the 2004 season.

SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, OH (Toledo news Now) - The Ohio Department of Transportation has announced that funding for construction of the McCord Road underpass has been moved forward from the previous 2023 construction date to 2014.
Through exploring all possible funding options, ODOT determined that the remaining financing for the high priority project could be secured for construction. The project approval was made final Thursday at the working session of the Transportation Advisory Review Council held in Columbus.
"Today TRAC recognized the efforts of all involved in this project," said District Two Deputy Director Todd Audet. "The project is priority number one in northwest Ohio, so much so, after support by all involved, it's moving forward."
Various state and federal agencies, including the Lucas County engineer's office, the village of Holland, the Springfield Township trustees, Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments, the Federal Highway Administration, TRAC and ODOT have partnered to advance the funding of the project.
"It's a great day for all who've fought so hard to accelerate the schedule. We appreciate the support of the local community in getting this major safety improvement closer to construction," said Lucas County Engineer Keith Early.
"TMACOG has long partnered with area stakeholders to help move this project forward. Today's announcement demonstrates how regional collaboration can benefit the people in the communities we serve," said Warren Henry, vice president of TMACOG's transportation.
On average, 75 trains cross McCord Road daily. The project was part of ODOT's Railroad Grade Separation program, intended to reduce congestion caused by train traffic and improve safety.

Britain and America have fought side by side in skirmishes since 1859, and a special friendship has developed, especially in World War II.
For my family, the friendship is personal, because we share British blood. My dad, Artie McGibbon, who was in the Army during World War II, met my mother, Jean Johnson, and they married in 1945 in England.
My mother has made sure we know and experience the English customs and we love them: tea in china cups, egg and chips (French fries) for supper, bangers and mash (English sausages and mashed potatoes), Yorkshire pudding and Christmas crackers (paper cylinders you pull like a wishbone; little presents and a "silly hat" fly out).
The English language — the "real" English language — has been part of our upbringing. When we question my mother about the way she pronounces certain words (i.e., "laBORatory" or "zed"), she'll say, "I speak the queen's English. I don't know what English you are speaking," with a raise of the eyebrows.
Enter the "UK to US Dictionary" by Claudine Dervaes and John Hunter. A copy landed on our editor's desk, and it lines right up with our family's experiences.
Common words Americans use become something else in England, such as lawyer becomes barrister, a bird is a woman, bitters are popular ales, and don't dare say "bloody" because it's a curse word. How about "Bob's your uncle," which means everything is good; or the bonnet as the hood of the car; and the boot is the trunk. Tell someone "On your bike," and you're telling them to go away.
My grandmother Johnson's nickname was Nellie, but she had nothing to do with the phrase "Not on your nellie," which is saying, "No way!" The loo is the restroom, and your lughole is your ear. A nipper is a young boy or girl, and a nosey parker is an inquisitive person. If you are knackered, you're tired.

Manning clear choice for league MVP
There are a number of players who've enjoyed amazing individual seasons, writes Ron Borges, but none has been as valuable to his team as Peyton Manning has been to the Colts.
Manning will be the Broncos quarterback through at least 2014. The four-time Most Valuable Player's contract called for a guaranteed salary of $20 million in 2013 and 2014 if he was on the Denver roster Tuesday, which marks the start of the new league year. The final two years of his contract - 2015 and 2016 - are worth $19 million each, but are not guaranteed.||||||| Coming off multiple neck operations, Manning threw for 4,659 yards and 37 touchdowns last season and was named NFL Comeback Player of the Year. He turns 37 on March 24.
John Fox has some bad news for the other 31 NFL teams: Peyton Manning could be even better in 2013. Fox says a year ago the Broncos were doing homework on Manning. They saw a dramatic improvement in Manning's workouts last offseason at Duke, and then with the quarterback's passing in the second half of the 2012 season. Manning led Denver to the AFC's best record, 13-3.||||||| The Denver coach says Thursday at the league's annual scouting combine that with another offseason to heal and to fine-tune his comfort with Denver's offense, the four-time MVP and reigning Comeback Player of the Year could have a more impressive second season in the Mile High City.
Manning's stunning return from four neck surgeries has netted him The Associated Press 2012 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award.||||||| The four-time league MVP guided the Broncos to the AFC's best record, 13-3, in his first season in Denver. Before sitting out 2011, Manning had never missed a start in his first 13 seasons with Indianapolis. Manning received 31 1-2 votes Saturday from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league. He easily beat Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, who got 17 1-2 votes after his comeback from major knee surgery.
Manning tied yet another NFL record Thursday, this one held by Tom Brady, when he won his sixth career Offensive Player of the Month award. Manning joined Kurt Warner (2001) as the only players with 10 TDs, 1,300 yards, a 70 percent completion percentage and five wins in December as the Broncos (13-3) captured the top seed in the AFC playoffs.||||||| He did it while wearing a glove on his throwing hand for the first time in his career, testing it in home games against the Browns and Chiefs in preparation for cold weather in January. Manning said he's been "OK the past two weeks," but he's been more than that - his completion percentage was 5.8 points higher and his QB rating was 19.2 points better with the glove.
Manning, in search of his fifth MVP award and, yes, a second Super Bowl title, finished 23 for 29 for 304 yards, three scores and with a 144.8 passer rating on Sunday against the Chiefs.||||||| "I threw it OK today, I guess," said Manning, who finished the season with 4,659 yards, 37 touchdowns and a 105.8 passer rating, all second best in his 15-year career.

Phoenix Coyotes' Dave Tippett: 'Depth will be key down the stretch'
Originally published: Feb 11, 2014 - 9:06 am
Not unlike a holiday break in December and January for students, the National Hockey League shuts down for approximately two weeks during the Winter Olympics, currently being held in Sochi, Russia.
For those not involved in the Olympics, it means time off -- and that includes coaches, like Dave Tippett of the Phoenix Coyotes.
"The players are probably all on a beach somewhere, but coaches stay home and do a little work," Tippett told Doug and Wolf during Newsmakers Week on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Tuesday morning.
The Coyotes are currently on a stretch of 18 days without a game -- they don't resume their schedule until Feb. 27 in Winnipeg against the Jets. The layoff creates a challenge for coaches and players, according to Tippett.
"We're going to plan almost like a little training camp coming back," Tippett said. "We've got six or seven days to get the guys back into shape. I think it's going to be really good for the game because you're going to have teams that are healthy and are going to get some great practice.
"It's going to make for some great hockey in the stretch drive, so we've got to get ourselves ready for the final 24 games, because it's going to be a wild race."
At the Olympic break, the Coyotes are tied with the Dallas Stars for the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot with 64 points. Tippett realizes he'll have to rely on his entire roster in the final quarter of the season to have a chance to get back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
"Depth is going to a big part of it, because I think we have 15 games in March and two trips to the East coast, so with travel and a heavy schedule, you're going to go through some players," he said. "Depth is going to be key. I like our depth, knock on wood, you always try to stay away from injuries, but that's going to be a key down the stretch."
The Coyotes do have seven games at Jobing.com Arena in March, starting with a three-game homestand against St. Louis, Vancouver and Montreal.
But as the head coach mentioned, there are two Eastern road trips: at Washington, Tampa Bay, Florida and Boston starting March 8, and another trek to play the Rangers, Pittsburgh and New Jersey at the end of the month.

A change of plans Tuesday night for Vanderburgh County officials prepared to redefine the word "family" in exchange for federal funds.
"It's the best signal that we can send as a community to try and attract talent and try and retain talent because people don't want to stay in an area where some folks are worthy of respect and others are not," said Dr. Robert Dion with the Human Relations Commission.
"Well, there is money behind it and of course, you know, if you're going to be a part of the United States you have to play with the federal and state government. It also is what it is. It's fair housing. We want everyone to be treated the same in Vanderburgh County and this does relate to Vanderburgh County," said County Commissioner Marsha Abell.
When asked why not just go ahead and pass it, Abell said, " Well, because if we pass something tonight we might have to amend it."
Abell says the county wants its ordinance to reflect the state's ordinance. With the new Pence administration in place, commissioners want to see what, if any, changes will be made at the state level before the ordinance is looked at again on the local level.
We'll keep you updated.

WASHINGTON - Privacy advocates and some lawmakers are pushing a debate over potential privacy abuses from the growing use of radio frequency identification chips as huge retailers such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. move toward large-scale use of the technology.
While a number of privacy groups have raised concerns about the potential uses of radio frequency identification (RFID) chips, the U.S. Congress hasn't yet drafted legislation to regulate their use. But the Utah and California legislatures have both considered RFID privacy legislation this year, and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has scheduled a workshop on the uses of RFID and the effect on consumers for June 21. The FTC is asking for written comments about the uses of RFID; the deadline to submit those comments is July 9.
RFID uses small computer chips and antennas that are integrated into a paper or plastic label. Those chips can then be read by an electronic scanner, and unlike barcodes, RFID chips withstand dirt and scratches and can be scanned from distances upward of 25 feet (750 centimeters).
Privacy advocates worry that the technology will allow other uses, such as real-time tracking of customers in stores, or even after they leave stores. Privacy advocates see the potential for retailers and other companies to be able to track consumers long after a consumer purchases an item -- for example, a tennis shoe manufacturer scanning a sporting event for the number of people wearing its product.
Those advantages are why large retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target Corp., as well as government agencies such as the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), are embracing RFID technology as a way to improve their supply-chain efficiency. Wal-Mart, leading the way on RFID adoption, plans to phase in use of RFID, with major suppliers of its north Texas stores required to use RFID chips on pallets and cases by January 2005. The DOD plans to require suppliers to use RFID tags by early 2005.
But early experiments with RFID haven't gone smoothly, at least in the public relations arena. In early 2003, Wal-Mart and The Procter & Gamble Co. tested the use of RFID chips on individual packages of lipstick in an Oklahoma store, and the supposedly secret test raised the hackles of privacy advocates everywhere. The RFID chips allowed Wal-Mart to track the customers as they took the lipstick off shelves.
Wal-Mart's test of RFID chips on individual products also prompted Senator Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, to suggest that federal legislation may be necessary at some point. He criticized what he called Wal-Mart's "clandestine" testing of RFID.
Leahy, speaking at Georgetown University in March, praised the potential of RFID, but also suggested a federal law may be needed before privacy intrusions "reach the point of behavior that is absurdly out of bounds."
"The RFID train is beginning to leave the station, and now is the right time to begin a national discussion about where, if at all, any lines will be drawn to protect privacy rights," Leahy said.
But Wal-Mart says its RFID tests have been less clandestine than critics claim. Customers in the Oklahoma store where RFID chips were tested on lipstick were notified with signs on the shelves, said Gus Whitcomb, a Wal-Mart spokesman. After the lipstick test, Wal-Mart decided to focus on the store-room uses on RFID.
