Kate Walsh: I Made it After 35

Kate Walsh talks about achieving success at an older age.

My age gives me perspective and the confidence to speak out about things, to embrace change, and the courage to take risks.

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

Age is just a number. Unless, that is, you live in Hollywood, where there's this notion that if you haven't hit it big by your 20s, you may as well hit the road. But if anyone had told me that I would be thankful when I looked back on celebrating my 28th birthday alone in New York City with a piece of stale cheesecake, working at one of my three waitressing jobs, I would have punched him. During those broke years, I shared not one but two studio apartments, first with my brother, and then with my pal Karen, sleeping head to foot in the same bed. I never dreamed that one day I would land my breakout role at the ripe old age of 36, as a doctor on Grey's Anatomy. But now, at 44, I look back and I am eternally grateful for that lonesome birthday.

For me, my 20s were all about reaching for the brass ring of work in theater, television, and film, surviving in between by waiting tables, painting houses, serving coffee, and temping. Anytime I wanted to quit acting, my brother Joe would come visit me at work and patiently ask what I would do instead. The conversation always yielded the identical result: "Okay, I'm gonna keep acting." Acting was all I ever really wanted to do.

I never worried about my age, though, until I moved to Los Angeles in 1999. That's when I had a look around and realized that I was infinitely replaceable. There would always be someone younger, prettier, sexier, stronger, faster (and probably cheaper) than me. But I didn't let it deter me. Maybe that's because I grew up watching classic films, and my heroines—Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Lucille Ball, Mary Tyler Moore, Vanessa Redgrave, Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, and Judi Dench—were all working in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. I was never defeated by age; I was inspired by it.

At 30, I thought I had made it because I landed a recurring role on The Drew Carey Show. Everyone told me, "The world is your oyster," and "You'll get loads of development deals from the networks." I went into pilot season feeling confident and on top of the world. I tested for eight or nine shows that year, which was a personal record—and got not a single one. After that my ego and I took a vacation to Anguilla to recover from the rejection and humiliation. It was a big turning point: I learned to take my pride out of the audition rooms. So when a casting director said that my audition was great but the producers didn't think my shoes were sexy enough, instead of crying I ran to Macy's at the Beverly Center to buy a pair of five-inch stilettos.

And when Grey's Anatomy became must-see TV and my entire life changed, I felt like it was the moment I had been waiting for my whole life; after all, I had spent three decades working toward it. By then I had the character and the personal infrastructure to enjoy the incredible ride. Through my years of slogging through waitressing and bit parts, I had developed the capacity to weather challenges, rejection, and the various personalities you encounter, with grace and tact. I had been able to actually live life, unobserved, paparazzi-free, and make a ton of mistakes in private, when I was younger.

My age gives me perspective and the confidence to speak out about things, to embrace change, and the courage to take risks. I even started my own fragrance business, Boyfriend, at age 42. Trust me, it has not been easy. I've faced obstacles, missteps, and learning curves, but I know how to balance the role of CEO with my day job as an actress because I mastered the juggling act in my 20s.

The best part is that I know I'm just getting started. I've learned over and over that life happens on its own terms, not mine.

Is it a good idea to wash my self with dettol in the shower befor I apply scabbies cream (lycrear)?
Posted Thu, 2 Aug 2012 in Medicines and Side Effects
Answered by Dr. Kiran Kumar 2 hours later
Dear Friend,

Thanks for writing in.

It is usually recommed that a person has a bath with a soap and scrub. There is no specific advantage of using dettol during bath before going in for scabies treatment.

Therefore it is ok even if you take bath with dettol, however, its not really necessary.

Hope this answers your query.

Do get back if you need any further information.

Follow-up: Is it safe to wash with detol before applying scabies cream? 22 minutes later
So soaking my whole body in dettol won't help with the scabbies, and using soap is just as effective?

Will disinfectant do anything to them or is the cream the only cure?
Answered by Dr. Kiran Kumar 2 hours later

The scabies organism lives in the burrows which it makes in the skin. Hence it is recommended that a thoroug scrub bath is taken before the application of the scabies cream. Once you take a scrub bath, the burrows are exposed and organism too. Then the cream would act and kill the organism.

Dettol has not shown to kill the organism. So its not really necessary to use it.

Hope this answers your query.

My father liked Dr. Kaylani; however, we will not return due to the rudeness we experienced from a member of his office staff. I was shocked by her unprofessionalism.

Office is very accommodating with last minute appointments. Wait times are reasonable. As a walk-in, I have only had to wait about an hour max. Appointments are seen usually within 20 min. Consultations with Dr. Kaylani are efficient and to the point and you walk out with prescription quickly....more

I am currently breastfeeding but my milk is drying up what can I do?

Good question. Have your baby suck as often as possible, even hourly. Wake him/her up at night as well. Make sure you are eating enough and drinking plenty of fluids. Milk crises are common at 3, 7 and 12 months, so don't get discouraged. Breast massage in warm shower may help as well. Certain supplements, such as mother's milk can be helpful. Don't supplement with formula! seek lactation spec's help.

I am not on birth control but if my boyfriend uses good condoms and pulls out with it on, can I still get pregnant? If there is no tear in the condom, should we be okay? We are both young and he has had sex before and has always used condoms.

Good . Good for you and your boyfriend for using condoms! it's the best way to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases. As far as pregnancy goes, if the condoms are used correctly every time you have vaginal sex, 2 out of 100 women over the course of a year will become pregnant anyway. Just like any form of birth control, there is no 100% guarantee that you will not become pregnant, but there is a 98% chance you won't get pregnant with correct condom use and that's pretty good. You may also want to think about Plan B (the morning-after pill) just in case the condom tears or falls off (it happens!). Attached below are 2 planned parenthood websites: one with information on the condom and one on information on plan b.

Age23f, Burning sensation in left side of abdomen, non radiating, specially at empty stomach. What could be the cause and how to treat?!

Dyspepsia, acid . Might be sign of acid induced dyspepsia. maybe an ulcer but not specific enough symptom to diagnose an ulcer. Usually a trial of a PPI (acid suppression) medication after speaking to a doctor regarding your personal contraindications a PPI medication will result in both a diagnosis and a treatment...if symptoms respond. This is usually taken for 4 weeks. Avoid NSAIDs, test for h pylori .

Look Your Best This Summer

Below are summer-must-haves that will help you to look your best.

You don’t want to get burn so bad, do you? Use SPF55 sunscreen which also has the capability to hydrate your skin.

You need to protect not just your skin but also your eyes when going out in the sun.

Lip Balm/Lip Gloss
Dry chappy lips look awful. Lip care with rich formulation of Pro Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E gives protection to your most vulnerable skin – your lips!

Natural Face
This summer all you need to apply to your face are lip gloss and pressed powder of at least SPF15. The more natural you look, the more “summery” you are.

Hair Protectant(for colored hair)
Colored hair can turn brassy with sun exposure. Use shampoo and conditioner or protective gels that are specially formulated for colored hair to prevent hair from becoming dry and brittle.

Flip Flops
They look great, extremely comfortable and last looong! Perfect summer foot wear.

Tank Top
You can wear it as your swim suit or fit it with your shorts, mini skirt or jeans. In short, you can live in tank tops all summer!

Colorful Wrap or Sarong
This is a piece of cloth that can be styled and worn into 10 different ways or more.

Now, pack your bags and head to the beach…flaunt, enjoy and revitalize!

8 thoughts on “Look Your Best This Summer

  1. To prevent dehydration, always drink water as much as you’re comfortable with and stay away from carbonated drinks and alcohol during these hot days spent in the sun!

    1. It’s hard to stay away from carbonated drinks but i’m trying my best though. Thanks for the additional tips.:)

  2. good thing i have almost all the above except for a sarong and tank top. laki kase ng arms ko so i dare not expose my huge arms to the world…;)

  3. the art of wearing sunglasses is something i discovered late in my mid-20’s, it probably explains the premature growth of crow’s feet on my eyes..had i know, i would’ve asked my parents to get me sunglasses when i was 12! 🙂

    another way to protect us from the heat is to keep an umbrella handy in your bag whenever you go, sometimes the sun beams can really get too ruthless!

Karma Management Day 3, Part 2

2002 Kauai Innersearch Day 3, Part 2 Bodhinatha introduces two new concepts about karma, more about astrology and the concept of karmas being active or inactive.

Unedited Transcript:

Moving along we are looking at two new, additional concepts today. The first one is - Astrology indicates the patterns of karma. I will read it since it is a little technical.

Prarabdha karma, remember? That is the karma that is going to manifest in this life. Prarabdha karma means, of the karma you carry with you, a certain portion of it is going to manifest in this life unless you do something unusual. You can manifest more but we will get into that later. You cannot manifest less. But this amount is scheduled to manifest in this life. It is called prarabdha karma. Some will manifest at the beginning, some in the middle, some at the end. But everything that is scheduled to manifest is called prarabdha karma. The sum total of that determines one's time of birth. This is important. Prarabdha karma determines the time of birth. Which makes sense, right? The time of birth determines one's astrology. The astrology meaning the different mahadasas and the bhukti dasa. Those of you who are astrologers can explain it to those who want to know afterwards. The astrological periods determine the release of the karmas. So, it is an interesting cycle. Thus, an individual will experience certain astrological periods as difficult and other periods as auspicious and positive.

Understanding this principle is very useful because it helps us understand the relationship between astrology and karma. It is a very important relationship. Therefore, when we have that basic understanding that there is a relationship between astrology and our karma, when we approach astrology with that understanding, we can gain an understanding about how our karma will be manifesting say, during the next twelve years. We say, this is going to be a period where everything is successful. This is going to be a period where everything is going to be difficult, we are going to have some major setbacks. An astrologer can tell you that. That is helpful to know. Why? Because if you are having setbacks, you can remember that it is in your astrology. Otherwise, you tend to think of it as, "Gee, everything is failing. I am a terrible person or I am limited or I am doing something wrong." You also think it might go on forever. You say, "Oh, I only have ten more years left, I am hanging in there. Only five more years left. I got through it! Let us have a celebration!" It helps put it into perspective. It is very helpful in that way. Also in your positive periods, it is good to take chances, business chances and so forth because you are more likely to succeed. If you are going through a negative time, you don't want to take chances. You want to be more conservative in terms of a business venture, an investment and so forth.

But the problem is that the stereotype is, "Difficult times are bad, positive times are good. We are not supposed to have difficult times." It is a stereotype. Everything is supposed to be good. It is better if things are going good than if things are going poorly. Right, that is the stereotype idea? But we are not looking at it correctly. That is just an ordinary human way of responding. There is no wisdom in that. We are not looking at it through karma. A better way of looking at it is if something negative happens, we go through difficult times and we get through them we say, "Oh, how wonderful I got rid of that difficult karma." We got rid of the karma. It is like Swami Sivananda's story. When someone attacked him, he thanked the person for attacking him. Why? Because he was rid of that karma, maybe that was his last karma.

So, if negative things happen we should not complain, should not blame God and we should not feel that it is not a positive event in our lives. We are getting rid of a karma. That is important to remember. We are getting rid of the karma.

Next concept - Karmas are either active or inactive. Again I will read it, it is a little technical. Sanchita, prarabdha and kriyamana karmas can be divided into two categories. We are going to have a test on those! So, you have to learn how to spell them. Prarabdha, begun, undertaken, karma that is sprouting. Anarabadha not commenced, dormant or seed karma. The idea is, just like we were talking about be before, it is like seeds. If you want something to sprout right away, you can choose an alfalfa seed right? Alfalfa sprouts are very popular. Why? Because they sprout quickly, you put them in water and they sprout. If you want to grow a coconut tree, it takes longer. Right? It takes maybe a year to get something to sprout out of a coconut, it took a week to sprout an alfalfa. Just because something is a seed does not mean all of them are going to sprout at the same time. Some of them are not sprouting at all. They are sitting there for a long time. If you store a seed in a dry place or a moist place, it determines how fast it sprouts and so forth. Some karmas are already sprouting, some are about to sprout and some won't sprout in this lifetime.

So, those are our two new concepts. Turning now to our principles. Our review, first we have four principles so far. We will review them very quickly. I think most everyone has heard them all.

Our first principle of course is, 'Forego Retaliation' and that is required because if we retaliate, we are creating new karma and there is no possible way we are going to do anything more subtle than just create new karma.

'Accept Responsibility' is the idea that whatever happens to me, I created it. Usually we only want to accept the fact if something good happens, I am responsible for that. If something bad happens, we want to blame someone else. But, of course, accept responsibility means whatever happens, good or bad, I created it. Whatever happens. If we have children, whatever happens to our children, they created it. You don't have to blame yourself, when something happens to your child. Your child attracted it because of the karma of the child. So a person is responsible for everything that happens to him.

Third principle is, 'Forgive the Offender'. Even if we manage to not retaliate and accept responsibility we can still harbor resentment toward the person that did it. We know it is our responsibility but they should not have done it anyway. So we are kind of hedging, we have got it right but not quite right. To get it fully right, we have to forgive the person who did the action to us. Just fully say, "This is me, doing it to me through another person. I did this to myself through another person." If we look at it that way, we don't really see the other person, we are transparent. We see ourselves doing it to ourselves over a period of time. We do something two lifetimes ago, in this life the reaction to what we did comes back. So, we did it to ourselves through another person.

Those three go together as a team of principles. Forego retaliation, accept responsibility and forgive the offender has to do with actions that are happening to us. Things are happening to us from others and we are responding a certain way to them. So, that is a set.

'Consider the Consequences' focuses on actions we are doing in the present or considering doing in the present. So it is a second situation. The first principle in review is, we consider the consequences. That is the idea of, "Think before you speak" applied to karma. We consider the karmic consequences of what we are about to do before we do it. Karmic equivalent of, think before we speak. So that is what we have covered so far.

Peninsula Campaign

The Peninsula (or Peninsular) Campaign was a major Union offensive against the Confederate capital of Richmond led by Major General George B. McClellan in the spring and summer of 1862, during the American Civil War. After moving his Army of the Potomac by boat to Fort Monroe on the Atlantic coast in late April, McClellan planned an advance toward Richmond via the peninsula formed by the York and James Rivers. Due to a habit of consistently overestimating his enemy’s numbers, the Union general refused to act until late May. The first stage of the Peninsula Campaign ended in the inconclusive Battle of Seven Pines, during which Confederate General Joseph Johnston was injured and command passed to Robert E. Lee. Beginning on June 25, Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia held off the Army of the Potomac in a series of engagements known as the Seven Days’ Battles, effectively ending McClellan’s campaign toward Richmond.

  • Contents

In November 1861, President Abraham Lincoln named George B. McClellan to replace the aging Winfield Scott as general in chief of all Union armies. A rising star in the U.S. Army before the war, the West-Point educated McClellan had been summoned to Washington after the Union’s devastating defeat at Bull Run (Manassas) the previous July and had since managed to shape the mass of inexperienced volunteer troops into a disciplined fighting force, known as the Army of the Potomac. Though much loved by his men, McClellan was deliberate and cautious in the extreme, and from early in the conflict he consistently overestimated the strength of Confederate troops facing him. Lincoln soon grew frustrated with McClellan’s reluctance to take the initiative, and in late January 1862 he issued General War Order No. 1, calling for all armies to move forward.

Issuing a long list of objections to the president’s plan, McClellan persuaded the skeptical Lincoln to further postpone the offensive against Joseph E. Johnston’s Confederate army, then stationed at Manassas in northern Virginia (scene of July’s defeat). Instead of an overland offensive, McClellan wanted to move his army by boat down the Chesapeake Bay to the mouth of the Rappahannock River and get in between Johnston’s army and the Confederate capital of Richmond. In early March, Lincoln approved this plan (provided enough troops were left behind to safeguard Washington) but removed McClellan as the Union general in chief, leaving him in command only of the Army of the Potomac.

Even as McClellan won approval for his planned offensive, Johnston withdrew his army from Manassas to a more easily defensible position at Culpeper, some 40 miles south and on the other side of the Rappahannock. The Union Army’s inspection of the abandoned Confederate works revealed that the enemy’s defenses had been far weaker than McClellan had claimed. In particular, a number of the Confederate cannons were found to be only logs painted black, known as “Quaker guns.” From then on, McClellan’s continued demands for more troops to face a superior enemy force would fall on deaf ears in Washington.Foiled by Johnston’s move, McClellan now sought to move his Army of the Potomac by boat to Fort Monroe, located at the tip of the peninsula formed by the York and James Rivers in Virginia. From there, the army would move up the peninsula towards Richmond, forcing Johnston to move quickly south to defend the Confederate capital. Lincoln and Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton agreed reluctantly. After finding that McClellan had not complied with the president’s order to leave enough troops to defend Washington, they ordered an entire large corps held back from the advance, and a furious McClellan traveled to Fort Monroe with some 100,000 troops instead of the 150,000 he had wanted.

By early April, 60,000 of McClellan’s soldiers were facing Confederate lines near Yorktown, Virginia, defended by some 13,000 rebels. Though the bulk of Johnston’s army was some 80 miles away, McClellan continued to wait, defying Lincoln’s repeated orders to attack. On May 4, Johnston decided to pull his troops from Yorktown and withdraw them toward Richmond, and McClellan finally ordered his army to move up the peninsula. By the third week of that month, the Army of the Potomac was approaching the Confederate capital. Though he was leading more than 100,000 Federals against 60,000 rebel defenders, McClellan continued to call for reinforcements.

On May 31, Johnston led Confederates in an attack against two Federal corps south of the Chickahominy River, six miles east of Richmond. In the two-day Battle of Seven Pines and Fair Oaks, the rebels were able to drive back one Union corps and inflict heavy casualties before the Federals (with the help of reinforcements) stabilized their line. General Johnston was seriously injured in the battle, and President Jefferson Davis replaced him with Robert E. Lee, a move that would have profound consequences for the rest of the conflict.

Through most of June, as Lee prepared a counteroffensive, McClellan complained to Washington of his need for more supplies and reinforcements. He claimed to be facing some 200,000 enemy troops; in reality, the maximum strength of Lee’s forces was around 92,000. Leaving some divisions to defend Richmond, Lee attacked McClellan’s right flank north of the Chickahominy (around 30,000 Federals) with an army of some 85,000 on July 26. During the seven days that followed, the Confederate general ordered repeated attacks: at Mechanicsville, Gaines’ Mill, Savage’s Station, Frayser’s Farm, Malvern Hill and many smaller skirmishes.

Freight Rail

  • Moving goods throughout the United States on a daily basis, freight rail operators are vital to the U.S. economy, but the legal issues and regulations facing all railroads can be daunting. Freight rail operators need experienced and knowledgeable legal counsel to help them navigate the hurdles so they can operate successfully.
  • Holland & Knight's Freight Rail Team has a long history of representing Class 1, Class 2 and short line railroads in all aspects of their operations, including both national and international business interests.
  • We provide legal counsel on daily operational issues and other matters common to freight rail operators, including contracts, transactions, regulatory issues, complex litigation and alternative dispute resolution.
  • Our team includes attorneys throughout the firm who possess in-depth industry knowledge resulting from decades of experience in the legal issues surrounding freight rail operations. We combine that knowledge and experience with a strong focus on providing exceptional client service which enables our team members to provide clients with comprehensive, client based legal representation in all aspects of rail transportation.
  • For timely updates on transportation issues, bookmark the Holland & Knight Transportation Blog.

Operational Issues

Our team regularly provides legal counsel on daily operational issues common to freight rail operators. We help clients draft and negotiate all types of contracts and agreements, including rail transportation contracts, interchange agreements, haulage agreements, run-through agreements, joint facility agreements, terminal services agreements, equipment contracts, locomotive purchase agreements, container purchase agreements, drayage agreements, intermodal agreements (domestic and international), leases and easements, lift services agreements, equipment maintenance and repair agreements, and bilateral agreements between rail carriers involving car hire, UMLER-registered equipment and Circular OT-10 issues.

We frequently assist clients with matters involving the Association of American Railroads (AAR) Interchange Rules and the Uniform Intermodal Interchange and Facilities Access Agreement (UIIA) concerning the interchange and use of intermodal equipment.

In addition, we regularly advise clients on the terms and conditions of their respective rules circulars, including limitation of liability language in the wake of U.S. Supreme Court decisions, cross-border transactions, on-dock rail operations and ongoing regulatory matters.

Transactional Matters

Members of our team have extensive experience handling transactional matters on behalf of freight rail clients. Our recent experience includes representing a Class 1 railroad in its negotiation of rail transportation contracts governing coal, metals, crude oil, intermodal and other products, as well as two major commuter rail transactions involving complex issues related to the sale of land, track and improvements to a state-owned agency for the purpose of developing or enlarging commuter rail operations, subject to a retained freight easement to provide common carrier service, including the transactional, real estate, environmental, labor and regulatory issues associated with those transactions.

We also have extensive experience in railroad-focused real estate issues, including easements, crossing agreements, railbanking matters, valuation map issues, railroad property title matters and condemnation and preemption issues.

In addition, we have represented publicly traded corporations in the sale of numerous short line railroads and have represented Class 1 and Class 2 railroads with a wide variety of vendor contracts, including those related to "green locomotive" initiatives.

International Matters

Our team is experienced in legal issues related to the cross-border carriage of freight. We regularly assist clients with customs issues, including the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) and other practical and legal issues arising out of trade with Canada and Mexico.

Regulatory Matters

Freight rail operators are subject to myriad regulations imposed by the U.S. government and its agencies. These regulations can be complex, and experienced legal counsel is vital to avoid possible missteps. Our team frequently provides advice on railroad regulatory matters, including analysis of the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) rulemaking concerning Positive Train Control (PTC), a safety-oriented regulation of the movement of trains that will affect a large proportion of the rail industry.

In addition, we regularly advise on Surface Transportation Board (STB) regulatory proceedings and filings concerning trackage rights, abandonment, discontinuance, contract carriage, preemption, demurrage, competition, re-regulation and other areas affecting railroad operations.

We also have experience representing Class 1 railroads on responses to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) questionnaire on the liability and indemnity agreements in use with shared assets and commuter/Amtrak/freight rail corridors.

National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)

A member of our Transportation Team is a recent former general counsel of the NTSB who supported every NTSB rail investigation over the course of his five-year tenure with the agency. He has extensive knowledge of the party and investigative processes, from both the railroad and the NTSB point of view.

Dispute Resolution: Litigation and Arbitration

As with all business operations, disputes are a common challenge facing freight rail operators. Our team includes attorneys who focus their practices on litigation and other methods of dispute resolution, including commercial arbitration. Because dispute resolution can be costly and time consuming, we seek to resolve disputes at the earliest possible stage of the conflict. However, if litigation or arbitration cannot be avoided or is determined to be the best course of action, we are prepared to aggressively defend the interests of our clients.

We have represented rail clients in a wide range of complex litigation and arbitration matters, including:

  • Contract and Tort Disputes: Our team represented a Class 2 railroad in a complex arbitration arising out of a haulage agreement with a Class 1 railroad that was being misused by the Class 1 railroad to the detriment of the intermodal business of our client and in violation of the agreement. We recovered money damages in excess of $1 million, defeated a $250,000 counterclaim and, more importantly, convinced the arbitrator to terminate the agreement, relieving our client from years of less than adequate compensation for its services. Our team represented a Class 1 railroad in a complex contract and tort dispute claim in Alabama arising out of the acquisition of property for use as a manufacturing plant, including an appeal from our successful motion for summary judgment in our client’s favor.
  • Cargo Litigation: Our team is well versed in the defense of significant cargo matters arising under the Carmack Amendment or pursuant to rail transportation contracts under title 49 U.S.C. 10709.
  • Worker Classification: A number of our freight railroad clients offer to arrange “door to door” service or otherwise engage independent owner-operators of motor vehicles. We have advised our clients or their affiliates on the terms of those leases and in the defense of purported class actions filed with respect to the classification of those independent contractors.
  • Preemption and Condemnation: We represented a Class 1 railroad in a federal court dispute involving the interplay of STB abandonment proceedings and state law eminent domain issues resulting in a dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction of a condemnation action brought against our client.
  • Condemnation: Members of our team served as primary counsel on condemnation issues on behalf of a Class 1 railroad involving land necessary for expansion and improvement of its rail services and facilities, successfully negotiating agreements and avoiding significant litigation.
  • Slander and Tortious Interference: We represented a railroad in its defense of a significant litigation matter in the Southern District of New York involving allegations by a customer of slander and tortious interference.
  • Alleged Railcar Conversion: Our team represented a railroad in a complicated matter involving the alleged conversion of a passenger railcar and was successful in negotiating a favorable resolution prior to significant litigation time and costs.
  • Environmental Regulations: We handled the defense of an administrative claim asserting that our client had violated certain environmental regulations when it sprayed chemicals and removed vegetation encroaching on the railroad’s right-of-way impeding the freight rail operations. Following extensive negotiations, the matter was settled without the necessity of filing a declaratory judgment action raising federal preemption bases in support of the rail carrier’s actions. In a separate dispute, on behalf of the same client, we successfully resolved, out of court, a case brought by a customer asserting that the railroad had failed and refused to provide railroad service upon reasonable request.
  • Insurance Coverage: We have assisted a Class 1 railroad with disputes relating to its insurance coverage.
  • Intellectual Property: Defense of a Class 1 railroad in an intellectual property lawsuit pending in federal court.

Client Service is a Top Priority

Our freight transportation attorneys, including some previously employed by railroads, have a thorough understanding of the industry and place a heavy emphasis on providing client-focused counsel to this vital transportation component of our economy. We have seconded firm lawyers to work in house at a Class 1 railroad to provide assistance on a broad range of transportation matters. This intense focus on client service has received national recognition, including one of our team members earning the BTI Client Service All-Star award.

Easy-Form tubing is made from a copper-nickel alloy that is strong as steel, but much easier to bend and flare. This alloy is approximately 90% copper and 10% nickel, and should not be confused with typical copper tubing found at hardware stores. The copper-nickel is much easier to form (so easy that it does not require a tubing bender - it can be bent and formed with just your hands). This type of copper-nickel alloy brake tubing has been used since the 1970’s on OEM vehicles including Volvo®, Audi®, and Porsche®. Easy-Form doesn’t rust or corrode and is DOT approved for use on hydraulic brake systems. Earl’s new hardline tubing is ideal for use on all automotive hardline systems - brake lines, transmission cooler lines, fuel lines, etc.

'Control' tops Fortnight at Cannes fest

PARIS — The Directors' Fortnight is taking "Control." The Anton Corbijn film starring Sam Riley and Samantha Morton will open the Festival de Cannes sidebar May 17, organizers said last week (HR 4/25). The black-and-white film centers on Ian Curtis, lead singer of '70s band Joy Division, who committed suicide at age 23. The movie, produced by Corbijn alongside Tony Wilson, Todd Eckhert and Deborah Curtis and released in France by La Fabrique du Films, hits Gallic theaters Sept. 26. The official selection for the Directors' Fortnight will be unveiled May 3.

HBO Films well-armed for 'Pacific'

HBO Films has given the green light to "The Pacific," the long-gestating 10-hour miniseries from executive producers Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg that serves as the follow-up to the duo's Emmy-winning 2001 HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers" (HR 4/25). Filming on the epic, which HBO Films is producing in association with Playtone and DreamWorks Television, is set to begin this summer in Australia. As far as budget goes, "Pacific" will outpace "Brothers," which in 2001 became the most expensive miniseries ever at more than $120 million. Sources indicated that "Pacific" will cost nearly $200 million. A companion piece to the World War II saga "Brothers," "Pacific" tracks the intertwined odysseys of three U.S. Marines — Robert Leckie, John Basilone and Eugene Sledge — across the vast canvas of the Pacific.

BBC, ITV team for free-to-view sat

LONDON — The BBC and ITV will team to launch a national free-to-view satellite platform next year now that it has been approved by BBC governing body the BBC Trust, the companies said (HR 4/30). The Freesat platform, which will carry as many as 200 channels, will compete with British Sky Broadcasting, the satcaster whose 17.9% stake in ITV has triggered a competition inquiry. It will not carry such pay channels as Sky One, Sky Movies and Sky Sports but will offer viewers a wide range of subscription-free channels including BBC News 24, Cbeebies and ITV2. The BBC and ITV will jointly launch the platform in standard and high-definition format in spring 2008, offering consumers digital satellite interactivity and high-definition capability without subscription.

Casgrain will take over as CBC chair

TORONTO — The Canadian government has named veteran business executive Timothy Casgrain chairman of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. (HR 4/30). Casgrain, the Montreal-based chairman of aviation company Skyservice Investments, will replace Guy Fournier, who quit as the public broadcaster's chairman in September.

Where’s the dough???

Government should commit to accountability when ensuring the Global Financing Facility, directs funds appropriately.

Another May long weekend to enjoy family and friends, camping and  parties, gardening and puttering.

The promise of summer is around the corner.

Now we enjoy the long languishing light, as we approach the longest day of the entire year.

Ahhhh that’s the life!

Not so for too many people around the globe!

As we approach the Financing for Development Conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in July 2015, Canada can play a key role in ensuring that the Global Financing Facility, which will be housed at the World Bank, is both effective at leveraging funds and ensuring that those funds reach those who need them most.

In the coming months, while Canada negotiates the structure and priorities of the GFF, we must urge the government to commit to accountability. We must ensure the preservation of equity, innovative and sustainable financing!

Go on then! I'd be fascinated to hear why this is being voted cold - it's 20% less than most other places! :?

CNET review ]http//re…htm
Could be that the Via processor looks slow to most people. Benchmark wise the Via U2250 1.3ghz processor is about the same performance, or slightly faster than, the Intel Atom N280 1.66ghz available in most netbooks. Graphics are probably also slightly better than most current netbooks around (but won't be as good as Nvidia Ion). Apparently these can play youtube videos, iplayer, high definition with only slight hiccups - which most netbooks can't.

Bear in mind with the Windows XP models that they are due to be released on the 22nd October with Windows 7 installed, so prices on the XP models may come down further closer to that time.
These are great little note books, I've not even used my laptop since I got my external DVD. It does exactly as it says on the box, battery is great too!
Who is the retailer?

Think I'll give this a miss then. Especially seeing as it's being described as "open box" could be in for all sorts of trouble. Voting cold because of retailer but giving rep for poster's effort

Hello. Just bought a halogen cooker. Everything is fine but does anyone have any tips on how to clean the metal inside the lid? I mean the grill type bit that gets the fat splash back. I know you've gotta be careful as the halogen bulb is near it. Thanks for your help!

Parcelforce Tracking

Found 18th Aug 2013
Hi there guys,

I am getting a laptop sent to me with Parcelforce Express 24, which was sent on Friday.

When I go to track it, the parcelforce site says:

"We are currently unable to confirm that status of your parcel. Please check the number and try again. Please note that items sent over 4 months ago cannot be tracked online. If you are tracking a parcel sent from outside of the UK, we may not have received it yet. Please try again or use the help button below."

Is this normal? The person I bought it from said that the guy in the Post Office said it was guaranteed for Monday delivery but it doesn't seem to have even registered on the system, yet alone moved anywhere since Friday.

Has anyone else had this sort of issue and what was the eventual outcome?

The system is working ok, just checked and a parcel which is on the way to me, shows they are currently processing and what delivery depot its at. The number should be two letters followed by nine numbers and then two letters i.e. ht123456789gb

The URL for tracking is a post office url as below and not the parcelforce site.

Thanks, my tracking number has 4 letters, 7 numbers and then 2 letters (GB). I saw somewhere that it's meant to be by parcelforce on behalf of Royal Mail or something like that.
I don't think the Royal Mail tracking system is a live one, I think after the item has been received you can look at the details but it's not like the couriers sites where they tell you which depot it's at or if it's on the van for delivery, hope this helps

Waycash has it - I've received items and sent them by Parcelforce and it usually doesn't update until a short time after it's delivered to the door. Then it will show the details.

The tracking number is normally 2 letters and then 7 numbers

This is the details from my last delivery.

The tracking came online this afternoon at 16:16.

Turns out it was only collected at the post office at 16:18 today according to the tracking number! It was sent on Friday with Express 24!

Helen Flanagan Denies Being Pro-Anorexia, Saying She's 'Proud To Be A Curvy Role Model'

It seems there's barely a week that goes by without Helen Flanagan getting herself into hot water - and this week has proved to be no exception.

The former 'Corrie' star has come under fire from anti-bulimia and anorexia experts after appearing to support a movement known as 'Thinspiration' after she liked a photo on Instagram.

helen flanagan

Helen Flanagan says she's 'proud to be a curvy role model'

The image featured a thin woman in a bikini and was captioned with the phrase 'Craving is only a feeling'.

But the 'I'm A Celebrity' star took to Twitter to explain that the photo was just one of many images on the site with dieting messages and denied she was supporting any pro-anorexia movements.

"I liked pictures on my Instagram account referring to dieting," she tweeted. "I'm very sorry if this offended anyone of course.

"I'm a size 8-10 at the moment and wanted to get back to a size 8 in time for summer :) that's all.

"It's not pro anorexia the Instagram account I liked some pictures of. I don't take things like that lightly at all after struggling with things like that when I've been younger and having known of people suffering and it's a serious matter."

She added: "I've always been proud to hopefully be a curvy role model for young girls. I've always tried to portray that in my Instagram account."

Last year, the actress came under fire for posting a photo of herself with a gun shortly after the Newtown school shooting in in the US, something she later described as 'the stupidest thing I've done in my life'.

Insight Into Cheltenham Festival - Day Two

13/03/2013 09:21 GMT | Updated 12/05/2013 10:12 BST

The Cheltenham Festival eventually got the green light yesterday although racing was put back 35 minutes as a result of the frost which remained in the ground till mid-morning. Having promised to refund all losses to our customers old and new up to £50 in the opening Supreme Novices' Hurdle it was a difficult watch knowing whatever the outcome of the race we couldn't win! That said I hope some of you took my advice and backed Champagne Fever which was the best backed horse in the race and was given a magnificent ride by Ruby Walsh. The marketing "guru" who came up with the idea of money back on all losses is named Eoin Ryan; excellent employee and general good egg but why does the spoof "Saving Ryan's Privates" spring to mind!

Day Two begins with the 4m John Oaksey National Hunt Chase named after the former amateur jockey, Channel 4 presenter and Injured Jockeys Fund President who sadly passed away last year. The ground appears to have come right for Back In Focus (1.30) and he always gave the impression he would come into his own over extreme distances when trained in Britain by Howard Johnson; the selection is unbeaten in three starts over fences in Ireland for his new handler Willie Mullins and might just be a class apart from today's rivals. Buddy Bolero is a big danger for the Pipe yard although he needs to improve again to chase up the Irish raider who has the best form on offer going into the race. Emperor' Choice at 20/1 with looks a tad big although this is a step up in grade following his Lingfield win last time.

Ruby Walsh has a wonderful book of rides but he insists his best chance of a winner comes courtesy of the unbeaten Pont Alexandre (2.05) and he cannot be opposed in the Neptune; there are many who think the horse is a future Gold Cup winner and he certainly looks the part although he has only beaten a total of thirteen horses in his three career starts to date. The English challenge is headed by Taquin Du Seuil who was an impressive winner of the Challow Hurdle at Newbury last time although the race did look at the time, and still does, a sub-standard renewal; I would be surprised if he were good enough to trouble the favourite and confidence in The New One is tempered by the fact that the yard have some of their horses coughing including former Gold Cup winner Imperial Commander. I think the danger, if there is one, could also come from across the Irish Sea with Rule The World and not only Take That fans will be expecting a big run from the Mouse Morris trained 6-y-old who has improved throughout the season and put up a career best performance last time. Two Rockers could be the best of the British but Pont Alexandre at 13/8 with BetVictor is a confident selection.

I have been a big fan of Boston Bob all year but why has Ruby Walsh jumped ship to the 5-y-old Unioniste who has little in hand of Hadrian's Approach (2.40) on their last start at Newbury? If Boston Bob wins I will kick myself but this is a race that is won by dour stayers and if the Henderson runner can avoid the errors that have littered his novice career to date I think he can cause a bit of a shock. The selection was no match for Dynaste (runs Thursday in the Jewson) in the Feltham but I am convinced Hadrian's Approach would have picked up Unioniste at Newbury last time but for clouting two out and he should not be double the price (6/1 at BetVictor) of the Paul Nicholls-trained runner.

Sprinter Sacre (3.20) is one of the most outstanding horses I have seen and cannot be opposed in today's highlight the Champion Chase; Mail De Bievre is likely to give the favourite a good tow into the race but the Henderson star is a different class on what we saw in the re-arranged Victor Chandler Chase over today's course & distance back in January.

I was delighted with the two winners for trainer Charlie Longsdon at Market Rasen at the weekend as Pendra (4.00) has long been my fancy for the Coral Cup although the yard had been having an indifferent run; there is a slight stamina concern but Longsdon is convinced the five-year-old will appreciate the step up in trip and if that is the case he must take the beating. We won't be able to gauge the form of his second behind Melodic Rendezvous in the Tolworth as a result of the latter missing the opening race of the Festival the Supreme Novices' as a result of the latter missing the gig due to a poor scope, but JP McManus bought the horse earlier in the season and he remains a horse of real potential. Mullins' pair Fiveforthree and Abbey Lane are both dangers with the former particularly interesting despite the fact that Walsh deserts in favour of the latter.

I know Paul Nicholls believes Saphir Du Rheu (4.40) is fairly-handicapped but you fast forward this race another 12 months and half the field are going to look extremely well treated! The selection could not have been more impressive when scoring at Taunton against older horses back in January and when his handicap mark was revealed it was decided to keep him in cotton wool until today. Megalypos of Nicky Henderson has had a wind operation to help his breathing since his last run in a Grade 1 at Chepstow and if working the oracle he must enter calculations; Henderson saddled the winner last year and Nicholls three years ago and the pair may have the race between them again today.

I fancied Golantilla for the Bumper which concludes an excellent second day at the Festival but the unbeaten gelding is reported to have worked poorly 10 days ago and, rightly or wrongly, I have decided to look elsewhere. I like the look of Blackmail (9/1) with the boking of Barry Geraghty a positive. The selection was beaten in his first two starts but seemed to show improved form when making most at Leopardstown last time. Sgt Reckless has been the subject of some very favourable reports from the Mick Channon yard in the build-up to the race and Richard Hughes is a significant booking but he is not sure to be suited by a slog on soft ground and he might be seen to best effect in Aintree.

Trade and the fight against Islamic State will be on the top of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's agenda when he meets US President Barack Obama in Washington later this month.

Turnbull will discuss regional and global challenges, including combating IS in Iraq and Syria when he visits Washington on January 18 and 19.

In a statement, the Prime Minister said the ratification and implementation of the Trans-Pacific Partnership would also be discussed.

"The Prime Minister shares President's Obama's enthusiasm for the transformative opportunities the TPP provides for creating jobs, higher incomes and increased wealth," the statement reads.

Turnbull will also deliver a national security address at the Center for Strategic and International Studies on the trip -- his first to the US as PM.

He said he looked forward to "sharing ideas with President Obama about the best policies for promoting innovation, science and research".

Narendra Modi Has Err... A Teleprompter Gaffe

Don't you just hate it when a piece of electronic equipment ruins your day?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a sticky moment on Monday after he followed a teleprompter text faithfully and introduced the wife of visiting Sri Lankan President President Maithripala Sirisena, Jayanthi Pushpa Kumari, by the acronym 'M-R-S' (Mrs) — as it probably would have appeared on the screen.

The gaffe was captured on aVine that has gone viral. Modi, not unlike most state heads has read from a teleprompter before.

A good orator, Modi's speeches come across as extempore, as he switches fluently from Hindi to English.

And of course, Twitter had some fun with it.

Some people were quite upset.

Alan & Diane (Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam)

On the way to Budapest we flew through Amsterdam with a lay over at Schiphol airport. Schiphol is a large bustling place, complete with a casino and simulator ride. Those of you who are enjoying their Steve Jobs commemorative sheet will appreciate the number of Apple products for sale at the airport shops, with chocolate first in the running and diamonds third! After a quick exit from the airport and another interesting ride with Zoltan we arrived at our comfortable apartment which is conveniently located in the center of the city.

St. Stephen's Basilica

Sunday April 15
A leisurely breakfast , a view of Szent Istvan Basilica, a walk along Andrassy utca and then on to the Glass House Museum which is run by the Carl Lutz foundation. Carl Lutz, a Swiss diplomat during World War II saved thousands of Hungarians from camps and gave them housing while issuing Swiss travel documents. He did not do this because he wanted money — he did it because he cared.

On the way back to the apartment who could resist tasting the creamy coolness of gelato? And which flavor was better, lemon or chocolate. Oh, check out the photo of Magyar Posta!

We are about to head out for dinner to one of the outdoor cafes. Even though it is still a bit chilly the cafes have tables set outdoors complete with heating lamps and blankets to keep their patrons nice and warm!….A bit later….dinner at Menza was scrumptious. We started with creamy pumpkin soup and grilled goat cheese and greens salad. Entrees included grilled chicken, duck breast in wine sauce and sauteed pike fish in creamy mushroom sauce with spinach and handmade potato chips.

Next crop of Indianapolis charter schools could have familiar faces

March 13, 2018

Indianapolis’ next wave of charter schools could come largely from longtime educators and established networks—a sign that the city’s charter sector might be maturing.

Four schools have indicated to the Indianapolis mayor’s office that they’re interested in applying for charters. Three would replicate existing school models: Paramount School of Excellence, Herron High School and Purdue Polytechnic High School.

The fourth potential new school, a K-8 school on the southeast-side, comes from Mind Trust fellow Aleicha Ostler, the former principal of Indianapolis Public Schools’ Super School 19.

The interested schools bring backgrounds that include track records of success, years of education experience, access to deep resources, and support from politically influential players.

The familiar faces in this crop of charter school applicants suggest that Indiana’s 16-year-old charter scene is evolving, with more proven schools replicating across the city than in the past, when most schools were still new and untested.

The mayor’s office, which authorizes most of the city’s charter schools, appears to be looking increasingly to strong leaders with proven successes and intentionally targeted efforts—many of them already singled out and supported by the Mind Trust—in today’s competitive charter market.

To be sure, many new ideas are still coming to Indianapolis. This spring, the state charter school board is also considering an application for an arts and vocational charter school from a longtime Indianapolis police detective seeking to help children affected by crime and poverty.

The potential new charter schools would open in fall 2019 at the earliest.

For those going through the mayor’s office, the schools would still have to submit full applications for approval, a process that started last month with their letters of intent and continues through June with interviews and public hearings.

Replicating Herron and Purdue Polytechnic would expand public high school offerings following the IPS district's move to close and consolidate high schools next year. Their existing schools fall under the district’s umbrella as innovation schools, but it’s too early to know whether any potential new schools could follow suit.

Purdue Polytechnic, run in partnership with Purdue University, has been planning to open a network of schools, and head of school Scott Bess said this is the first step to start expansion plans. He hopes to open a second school on the north side of the county, to eventually enroll up to 600 students.

Purdue Polytechnic opened its first school last fall with 150 freshman students, with more demand than it was able to accommodate, Bess said. The high school uses a new project-based curriculum focused on science and math skills, with a goal of serving low-income students and students of color.

The first high school plans to move into the former P.R. Mallory factory on the east side if costly renovations can be worked out. Paramount could propose to open a middle school at the same location as a feeder to the first Purdue Polytechnic High School.

The project-based, hands-on philosophies of both Paramount and Purdue Polytechnic would make it “a natural fit,” Bess said.

“We felt there was strong synergy between their approach to STEM and our approach to STEM, so we thought the two models would serve each other well,” said Tommy Reddicks, Paramount’s executive director.

The existing east-side elementary Paramount School of Excellence uses a data-driven approach and is known for its urban farm. Paramount is working on opening a second school this fall, Reddicks said, also on the east side.

The highly sought-after Herron High School, one of the city’s older charter schools, might seek to open its third high school focused on liberal arts with a classical education approach. Its second school, Riverside High School, opened last fall with 140 freshmen students and plans to move to the former Heslar Naval Armory on the banks of the White River.

Herron did not list a potential location for a third high school, which could open in 2020 and eventually enroll up to 500 students, according to the letter of intent submitted to the city. Herron officials did not return messages seeking comment.

The Mind Trust, a local charter school incubator and education not-for-profit, has previously provided support to school leaders in all three of the networks seeking to replicate, in addition to Ostler as a current fellow.

The K-8 school that Ostler is interested in starting would open in the southeast-side neighborhood of Twin Aire. She wants to build off her experience at the nearby Super School 19, a magnet school incorporating physical movement into education.

She is using her two-year fellowship to develop a pitch for a school that would focus on design thinking, personalized learning, and postsecondary planning. Her concept comes from a concern that schools prepare students for tests, not careers in the real world.

“I don’t think as schools we’re really assisting with that problem,” Ostler said.

She noticed many students on the southeast-side were the first in their family to graduate from high school or go to college. For postsecondary planning, Invent Learning Hub will show students career options throughout the city, connect their passions and skills with careers, talk about how families can support students’ pathways, and follow up with students after they graduate from the K-8 school.

She also wants to dedicate a block of each day to design thinking, just like math and reading.

The Indiana Charter School Board is also considering a proposal from the HIM by HER Foundation, started by Indianapolis homicide detective Harry C. Dunn III. The not-for-profit’s name stands for Helping Improve Mankind by Healing Every Race, and it began as an effort to address the vocational, educational, and mentoring needs that Dunn saw young black men facing in particular.

The HIM By HER Collegiate School for the Arts would be run by Wanda Riesz, a former school principal and IPS administrator, according to the school’s application. It would look to fill the void left by the closure of the Broad Ripple High School’s performing arts magnet program at the end of this year. It also would look to provide alternative education to fit the individual needs of at-risk students such as those who might be pregnant, expelled from other schools, or going through juvenile court.

The school would leverage community partnerships and teach Spanish to all students.

Riesz did not immediately return a message seeking comment. The school will undergo interviews and public hearings before the board decides in May whether to approve it.
