Frequently asked questions
Charts > Calculation
- Why
does my ascendant on astro.com differ from my ascendant calculated
by other astrologers?
Sometimes errors are made - the calculation could be wrong, perhaps the wrong place or time zone were used. Please check your data! With a given set of data, there can be no ambiguity. The result you get at Astrodienst is correct. Our calculations for astronomical facts are the most reliable in the whole "industry". For further reference, please see the "Full Documentation" of the Swiss Ephemeris.
- Is
the Ascendant in the Southern Hemisphere different from the one
in the Northern Hemisphere?
No. The point of the ecliptic rising in the east at any given moment and given location is a fact of nature. There is no room for opinion, it can only be computed right or wrong. We do it right.
Check the placement of the Sun in the chart, it must be sensibly placed relative to the horizon for the given time of day. For a day birth, the Sun must be above the horizon.
- Why do the
charts shown in AstroClick, for example, look different from the free
chart drawings?
Different astrologers use different sets of planets, aspects and orbs. This is why depending on the astrologer, charts are different.
There is no uniform doctrine in astrology (just like it does not exist in psychology, religion, medicine, art, politics and most other fields which have to do with humans). Different practitioners work and believe differently.
- Which
orbs do you use when calculating planetary aspects?
Our standard chart type uses the orbs listed at the bottom of the aspects page in our Introduction to Astrology.
Many of our chart types were designed especially for individual astrologers, and the aspects are calculated with orbs according to the preferences of these astrologers. Usually the chart types are named after these astrologers, as you can see in the Natal Chart Drawings in our online shop. This page also lists the orbs used for the calculation of aspects for Liz Greene's reports. Like most astrologers, she has her own style of work and, naturally, we respect this.
- Why
is my Part of Fortune at astro.com different from other
We use different formulae for Pars Fortunae for a day birth than for a night birth. You can change this rule with an option in the extended chart selection.
The day formula is: ASC + Moon - Sun
The night formula: ASC + Sun - Moon
Astrologers differ in their views about which formula to use for Pars Fortunae.
If you're interested in in-depth information, please read the article "The Lot or Part of Fortune" by Robert Hand in our "Understanding Astrology" section.
- What
phase was the Moon in when I was born?
The phase of the Moon is represented by the angle between the Sun and the Moon in your birth chart, starting at the Sun, counter-clockwise. Zero degrees will be a new moon, 90 degrees a growing half moon, 180 degrees a full moon, etc. You can consult your chart drawing to measure the difference.
If you find this too difficult, please use the 'Lunar Phases Fertility Calendar' (under the group 'Astrodienst Special'). It gives the Phase of the Moon already computed, as a value between 0° and 359°.
- What
time is the progressed chart calculated for?
The progressed charts are calculated for midnight Universal Time.

Firefighters say two hikers who were rescued from a steep, remote part of Deer Creek Canyon Park southwest of Denver have been flown to hospitals with moderate injuries.
Inter-Canyon Fire/Rescue spokesman Daniel Hatlestad says the injuries include broken bones and one potential head injury. He says the injured hikers were in a group of about five people who appeared to have left a trail during a descent Thursday afternoon. The others weren't injured.
About two dozen rescuers looked for the hikers after their group called 911. Images from one hiker who took photos of the surrounding area and from a news helicopter helped rescuers find them.
It was after dark and temperatures were dropping by the time both injured hikers could be flown off the mountain.

Friends are one of life's greatest treasures.
Healthy lifestyles are all about being well-rounded. Well-rounded in your diet, well-rounded in your exercise, and well-rounded in your life. By this I mean that along with work, you need time to wind down and play. Hanging out with friends is an integral part of life. Taking time for you. Making time for the important people in your life. Social interaction is detrimental to health.
Ok, lets start with the best reason for getting social interaction in. It makes you feel GREAT!!!! It feels SOOO good to catch-up with a friend that you haven't seen in a while. It feels even better to hang out with your best friend. They know just what to say when you're feeling blue. You know just what to say to make their day. You rely on each other to stay sane at times. This is a great way to feel meaningful. However the day left you feeling, you still know that you can make someone's day just by talking to them. At the same time, your friend will be there to listen to the events of your crazy day and comment in their own unique way.
Another fantastic benefit of having such an awesome friend(s) is that they can be great sounding boards. If there's a serious question you have that needs an answer, who better to go to than your faithful friend? They have been there through thick and thin and will only have your best interests in mind. They care about you and want the best for you. It makes sense that they would steer you in the best possible direction.
If you are looking to reach your health and fitness goals for the year, your friends are there to cheer you on, keep you on the right path, and help you get there. They can be your best motivational tools and your greatest asset. They can help gather healthy recipes. You can share your accomplishments with them to double the reward!
Having and hanging with friends boosts self-esteem in so many wonderful ways! From problem solving, to stress relief. Motivation to brainstorming. Friends are so important! So make sure you keep up with them, even if its been a while.

I want my $10,995 back.
Actually, it's not only my $10,955. It belongs to anyone who pays taxes in Sarasota County.
When we last saw this money, in early 2008, it was going out in the form of a neighborhood grant to the Woodlands at Rivendell subdivision in Osprey.
In its application to Sarasota County, Rivendell's Michael Bergman said the community intended to remove invasive species and to plant 3,010 flowers, bushes and trees on the banks of six ponds.
All the new plants were to be Florida natives, which, once established, would not require regular applications of fertilizer, insecticides or water.
The community did install the plants.
"We basically turned the edge of the lakes into wildflower gardens instead of turf," says Russ Hoffman, a Rivendell resident and owner of Beautiful Ponds, which once held the contract for care of the lakes.
But then, two years later, a new homeowners association gained control, fired Hoffman, and slowly eliminated the native plants, deemed by some to be ugly. The HOA instructed Rivendell's landscape maintenance company to mow to the water's edge and to use line trimmers or spray herbicide when that didn't do the trick.
Now, of the 3,010 plants purchased with the public's money, there's barely a mimosa or a soft-stemmed bulrush in sight. Grass has replaced them all.
This represents almost a polar opposite of what Rivendell promised, and it does have consequences beyond the immediate issue of the $10,995.
As Rivendell's application noted, creating a waterside buffer, lessening the amount of fertilizer, and keeping grass clippings and excess nutrients from the water are all best management practices backed by years of research.
Nutrient-loading is really a hyphenated word for pollution. Rivendell drains into South Creek through Oscar Scherer State Park into Sarasota Bay.
The county has to maintain federal clean water standards, and best management practices are a cheap way of doing it. The alternative, a massive cleanup of the bay, would be much more expensive and we would all have to pay for it.
Naturally, not all Rivendell residents support the HOA's about-face.
"Biking throughout Rivendell on nearly a daily basis, I have seen firsthand the damage being done," Rosanne Beatty wrote to Andrea Lipstein, who enforces county water regulations. "I am writing to plead for your timely assistance in getting the community back on the right track to a watershed friendly community."
On Feb. 28, Lipstein toured a number of pond areas with Rob Wright, head of the county's Neighborhood Environmental Stewardship Team, and Jane Grogg, who oversees the grant program.
In 2008, Wright had worked along with other volunteers to install the plants. At site after site, he found little but closely cropped grass.
"Along here we planted aquatics," he said at Golden Pond. "I have photos of homeowners doing the work. Sunshine mimosa's all that's left. It's a testament to how tough it is."
Beatty proved her toughness by accompanying the trio of county employees. It was no lark, because the native plantings have been a contentious issue.
"There has been more pushback in Rivendell than any community of the hundreds I've worked with," Hoffman says.
At Rainbow Point Park, Mary Marryott, an adjoining property owner, confronted the group. "We're trying to keep the property values up in Sarasota County. Why are we not talking about that mess over there, with rats and everything?" she asked, pointing across the pond to a wooded area with wax myrtles and other underbrush approaching the shoreline.
Before long, she and Beatty were calling each other "liars," and Marryott was proposing that Beatty move if she didn't like the way things were going.
The confrontation reaffirmed a reality. Some people, a lot of people really, just don't like the natural look. Where some of us see a beautiful array of native flowers and bushes, others see a tangle of weeds.
It's not good versus evil, it's just a difference of opinions and tastes, which sometimes come to a head in places like Rivendell.
A second reality: Even native plants have to be maintained to some extent to look their healthiest. They require no fertilizer and less water and fewer chemicals, but in an urban landscape, they still need some care. Rivendell, for whatever reason, was not supplying that minimum level of care.
A third reality: There's no law that requires Rivendell or any other neighborhood to adopt the best management practices advocated by the University of Florida, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Best practices are voluntary, dependent on education, of which the grant program is a part. And, are subject to the whims of homeowner associations.
Education can be a slow process, as exemplified by an email Beatty received in October from a neighbor. "Your rantings about the dangers of run-off from the lawns is really totally unfounded," it said. "Ninety percent of my property drains to the street and is carried into the storm sewer system ..." Apparently, like magic, it's gone.
Rivendell still owes us some money. The contract states, "GRANTEE shall maintain the project as designed and constructed (or installed) subject to normal wear and tear." It also warns that the county may require reimbursement if a neighborhood fails to fulfill its obligations.
Wright says he's still in the fact-gathering stage to determine what happened to the plants and why.
The county attorney's office is reviewing the contract language, not only for reimbursement possibilities but to suggest changes so this type of thing doesn't happen again.
The neighborhood grant budget varies. This year, the county has set aside $99,000 for the program. It's enough of an expense to warrant followup inspections to ensure we're getting what we pay for.

More than 100 gun control supporters rallied on the Capitol steps for tougher gun legislation. Inside, Republicans argued that schools would be safer if it was legal for employees to carry concealed weapons.
Welcome to Colorado's gun debate.
Democrats won the first day's round, with a Democratic Senate committee voting on a party-line 3-2 decision to reject the guns-in-schools bill. The measure would have allowed local school districts to decide whether their school employees could carry concealed weapons no campus.
One of that bill's sponsors, Republican Sen. Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch, argued that his teacher wife and children aren't safe on a gun-free campus.
"My wife and my kids are sitting ducks," Harvey said.
Gun opponents made emotional arguments, too.
Democratic Sen. Irene Aguilar, D-Denver, argued that more guns in schools could inadvertently put students at greater risk of being accidentally shot.
"Sometimes passion overcomes reason," Aguilar argued.
A few hours before, more than 100 gun control supporters rallied on the Capitol steps for tougher gun legislation. They said they want to see Colorado ban assault weapons, limit ammunition and expand background checks as ways to reduce gun violence.
"I don't think it's difficult to ask that we have universal background checks, that we take these weapons of war off the streets," Dave Hoover, uncle of Aurora theater shooting victim AJ Boik, said at the rally.
The proposals were expected to be made by House Democratic Rep. Rhonda Fields, an Aurora Democrat and an outspoken supporter of gun control.
"Military-style assault weapons are not needed in our neighborhoods. They need to be on the battlefield," said Fields, whose son was shot and killed in 2005. "I am sick and tired of the bloodshed."
Republicans were pitching a different path to safety, arguing for a proposal to allow school employees to carry concealed weapons. But the GOP bill faced long odds in a Democratic-controlled Senate committee.
Another Republican gun bill that would require armed security in businesses that don't allow patrons to carry concealed weapons faced similar odds later in the week.
Senate President John Morse, a Democrat and former police chief, told reporters he's conflicted about which gun measures could work. Morse has said he supports an assault-weapons ban, but he told reporters he is still searching for the right approach to curb gun violence.
"I don't see a magical solution," Morse said.

Stanczyk is killing time until April 2nd and research can begin in earnest on the 1940 US Census.
One of my focus points will be Boleslaw Wlecialowski, my first cousin, twice removed. I have had problems locating him in the US Censuses. So I am hoping 1940 will be different.
Boleslaw, like many Polish-Americans, "Americanized" his name. So Boleslaw became Bill — very alliterative. Of course, if your name is Bill, then your formal name must be William. So we find records for Boleslaw under Boleslaw, Bill or William.
Here is a brief summary of Boleslaw Wlecialowski 's life as I can document it:
|Maciej Wlecialowski (1868 – after 1918)
|Katarzyna Elijasz (1863 – after 1918)
|Individual Facts
|6 Nov 1892
|Kwasów, Swietokrzyskie, Poland
|6 Jul 1910 (age 17)
|Going to uncle Jan Elijasz in 7829 Burke Ave, Cleveland, OH [same addr in August 29th]; New York, New York (on SS Vaderland)
|29 Aug 1910 (age 17)
|from father Maciej Wlecialowski in Pacanow, Stopnica, Kielce, Poland to uncle Jan Elijasz, 7829 B; New York, New York
|29 Aug 1910 (age 17)
|Line #2Series: T715, Roll: 1542, Frame: 328, 327; on USS Vaderland in NYC at Ellis Island
|22 Dec 1913 (age 21)
|from brother Leon's Ship Manifest SS Pretoria arrival of same date; 449 Grady Ave, Detroit, MI
|1915 (about age 23)
|from 1915 Detroit City Directory; 67 Playfair, Detroit, MI
|5 Jun 1917 (age 24)
|from World War I Draft Registration; 15 Playfair St, Detroit, MI
|21 Jul 1920 (age 27)
|Going to sister Rozalia Gawlik, Detroit, MI. Returning from WWI (Haller's Army);
|31 Dec 1924 (age 32)
|3121 Nevada St, Detroit, Wayne, MI; From Decl. Of Intent
|14 Jan 1929 (age 36)
|3121 Nevada St, Detroit, Wayne, MI; From Nat'l Petition
|1929 (about age 37)
|from 1929 Detroit City Directory; 3121 Nevada St, Detroit, Wayne, MI
|8 Mar 1961 (age 68)
|Macomb County, MI
|11 Mar 1961 (age 68)
|Mt Olivet Cemetery
Let me put some of the above into a narrative form.
Boleslaw Wlecialowski was born (ur.) November 6th, 1892 (Gregorian date) in the Russian-Poland partition village of Kwasow in the parish of Pacanow, Poland (gubernia of Kielce). His parents were Maciej Wlecialowski & Katarzyna Elijasz (my great, grand-aunt) — hence Boleslaw is my first cousin, twice removed. I have Boleslaw's church record (#171 of Pacanow parish 1892 Births) written in Russian (Godparents: Jozef Slawamowski & Marrianna Elijasz).
He arrived at Ellis Island on July 6th, 1910 on the SS Vaderland. He was coming from his father, Maciej Wlecialowski in Pacanow, Stopnica, Kielce, Poland and his destination was his uncle, Jan Elijasz in 7829 Burke Ave, Cleveland, OH [hence, Stanczyk's interest in the Cuyahoga County/Cleveland OH Elijasz families].
He made his way to Detroit, MI where his older sister Rosalia Wlecialowski Gawlikowski lived. He was living at 449 Grady Ave, Detroit, MI, when his brother Leon arrived at Ellis Island on the SS Pretoria arrival on 22 Dec 1913.
It appears that Boleslaw/William lived on Playfair Ave in Hamtramck, MI and was a boarder next door to Leon. William then registered for the World War I Draft, while still living on Playfair. Being an heroic Polish-American, he volunteers for Haller's Army (The Polish Army in France) on 18-Feb-1918 while living as a single man in Hamtramck (at 82 Emons ? with his sister Rozalia Gawlikowski) and his nearest family in Europe are his parents [still alive in 1918]. The next thing we know about Boleslaw is returning from War, departing from Danzig port and arriving in Ellis Island on the SS Princess Matojka on 21-July-1920, via a ticket paid for by the US government along with a whole host of men. Why 1920 and not 1918? Obviously, Haller's Army was instrumental in the Polish-Russian War that occurred just after the end of WWI when borders needed to be re-established after 146 years of occupation. On December 31st, 1924, Boleslaw Declares his Intention to become a US Citizen (living at 3121 Nevada) and is granted US Citizenship according to his Naturalization Petition on January 14th, 1929. At that time, one of his Witnesses was Edmund Tyszka, a real estate banker, whose property Boleslaw lives at (3121 Nevada, Detroit, MI) and undoubtedly works for as a realtor.
In 1943, Boleslaw, as an uncle, was a witness for my father's delayed birth certificate (born in 1926). This was a matter to determine my father's eligibility for WWII service. I love the picture, I chose for Boleslaw with the straw hat and pipe at Ciotka Rosie's farm (with a very tall birdhouse in the background). His warm smile which I see in the only two pictures I have him, lead me to believe in his friendly nature. The earlier picture is from the early 1940's (when he witnesses for my father) and the other whose vignette I chose to use today was from the late 1950's to maybe 1960.
William Wlecialowski dies 8-Mar-1961 and is buried in Detroit's Mt. Olivet cemetery with his brother Leon and his sister Rozalia Gawlikowski's family. William never married and had no children.
In 1910 he missed the census due to his late arrival in the year. By 1920, Boleslaw misses the census while away at war. But why was he missing in 1930 (was he in Europe for a funeral)? I am hoping for a first successful census find of Boleslaw on April 2nd (the 1940 US Census) and I am hoping to find his address too.

Let me introduce you to a great head coach in waiting:
Kyle Shanahan, Age 32
The son of NFL head coach Mike Shanahan and currently the offensive coordinator for the Washington Redskins. He is the person responsible for RGIII's development and the brainchild behind the Redskin's offensive system that takes full advantage of their QB's skill-set.
Before being the OC for Washington, Kyle was the OC for the Houston Texans and Matt Shaub where, in 2009 his offense ranked 4th in the league. The Redskins currently rank 7th overall and his rookie QB currently enjoys a 93.1 QBR... good for 8th in the league.
Although his age would lead one to believe he lacks experience, he boasts 9+ seasons of NFL coaching experience with the past 3 being stellar work as an OC.
This is from NFL.com:
"The Redskins' offense has been the talk of the 2012 NFL season. Robert Griffin III has been outstanding, but the design of the Redskins' scheme has been terrific, as well. Kyle Shanahan is getting a lot of praise around the NFL for quickly developing RG3 and designing a creative offense to fit his skills."
AFC executive: "Kyle is extremely smart and he's excellent with quarterbacks. He has all of his dad's qualities and he's going to be a great head coach."
If the Chiefs are going to restart again, why not do it with one of the great young talents in the NFL? Create some stability with a young head coach who isn't too old to grow with the game and perhaps help innovate as the league progresses with the next generation.
There is little doubt that there will be calls for the old fallbacks of Gruden, Cowher, Schottenheimer, etc. but the NFL is quickly becoming an offense-first, QB driven league with rule after rule aimed at doing everything they can to help the offense. The average points per game are on the rise and a young offensive mind who can develop a top 3 overall pick at QB and design a system around him is the way to go when looking for the next Head Coach for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Imagine long-term stability at the head coaching position from a man who can not only anticipate change, but be part of the offensive innovation driving the league. Perhaps Ray Horton would be a nice name to pair as the Defensive Coordinator if Romeo Crennel does not stay in the fold.

Floyd Mayweather's Baby Mama Calls His Fiancee Ms. Jackson an Escort (Video)
Josie Harris reality show "Starter Wives" was canceled after one episode, so she didn't get a chance to air out Floyd Mayweather like I assume she wanted to.
Besides letting the world know she is still sleeping with the man she had arrested and jailed for assaulting her, she wants you to know that Mayweather's current fiancee is an escort, that he will never marry.
The question begs if she is an escort, but is the one with the ring, what does that say about how Mayweather feels about Ms. Harris? While you ponder that check out the video.

I have 1984 Ford F150 for $3500 or I will trade for a small to medium size tractor. Truck is 80% restored. Has a rebuilt 351 Winsor. 4 wheel drive. It runs and drives great! The only things wrong with it is, the power steering pump leaks slightly. And also, the carb has been rebuilt but needs adjusting. I am disabled and don't have a lot of money to play with. I need a tractor more than I need the truck. Prefer to be local to 31071 or at least in Georgia.

Taylor Swift surprised a young cancer patient this past Sunday with an impromptu performance in his Boston hospital room.
The singer performed "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" for 6-year-old Jordan Lee Nickerson, who is receiving treatment for leukemia. Jordan was born with Williams syndrome and underwent open heart surgery at 18 months, according to the Jordan's Brave Page on Facebook.
That page also documented Swift's visit, with a video of her playing air hockey with Jordan and of her singing her hit song.
"I know you always sing songs for people," Jordan told Swift.
"I do! I love singing songs for people, but I want to sing a song for you more than all the other people," she replied before grabbing her guitar and belting out the tune.

Tony-winning Idina Menzel — or Adele Dazeem if you're John Travolta — is enjoying massive success with "Let It Go" from the animated film "Frozen," but the entertainer is still perplexed that she's finally triumphing on the pop charts with a show tune-esque track.
"I've had a lot of self-introspection about this. This business is so hard, especially the music business, and I've tried so hard to crossover, to convince people just because I was in a Broadway show I didn't have the street cred to be a rock or a pop singer," she said in a recent interview. "And then the one time I have it, it's the arrangement from the Disney movie."
"I'm singing at the Oscars — I've never sang at the Grammys," Menzel added, laughing.
Menzel's musical moment grew even stronger when "Let It Go" won best original song at Sunday's Academy Awards (the Oscar went to the songwriters and producers, Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez). The song has sold close to 1.5 million tracks and is a Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The "Frozen" album, a platinum success, is the soundtrack to spend the most time at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with five weeks and counting; it recently beat the record set by the "Titantic" soundtrack, which featured Celine Dion's epic, Oscar-winning "My Heart Will Go On."
"I've had ups and downs ... and I'm aware of when something's happening and has an energy of its own," said Menzel, who voices the lead character Elsa in the film, which won the best animated feature Oscar. "I'm aware enough to know of something special and to try and be in the moment."
Menzel is having more than a moment in music though, thanks to Travolta, who uttered "Adele Dazeem" at the Oscars instead the singer's name. He has since apologized.
But Slate magazine created the ultrapopular "Travoltified" tool, where you can put in your name and see what Travolta would call you, and it has been dominating on Facebook and Twitter this week (side note: Travolta would call himself "Jan Thozomas.")
But after that fades, Menzel still has "Let It Go," which is having a pop culture moment because of the thousands of videos posted of young girls and boys — and some adults — singing covers of the song. Cutely, Menzel took her younger sister, a second grade teacher, to the Oscars as her date ("Frozen" is about two sisters who are best friends, but have to keep distance because of Elsa's uncontrollable powers).
Menzel's song has even eclipsed Demi Lovato's version of "Let It Go" — technically the "single version." Disney Music Group president Ken Blunt said he's not surprised Menzel's song has become more successful commercially, and adds that the soundtrack is a winner because the film plays like a cartoon musical.
"The songs are part of the storytelling. They're helping to tell the story of the film and I think that's different then what we've seen in the last 15-plus years in animated movies," Blunt said.
Menzel, who has released three albums, said some members of her team want her to capitalize on her recent pop star fame: "I'd like to, but also, that's the trap."
"Like, 'I better get in there and oh, make an album now. I have some success and attention,'" she recalled.
The 42-year-old does plan to record more music, but right now she's focused on "If/Then," the new Broadway musical she stars in. She will play the role of Elizabeth, a women returning to New York City to rebuild her life after a divorce, and she's been rehearsing for weeks at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, where she has nicely decorated room — or mini apartment — set up to help make her comfortable since the show begins previews Wednesday and officially opens March 30.
"We're hoping the show runs," Menzel says, knocking on the coffee table for good luck.
A few days before the Oscars, Menzel was doing triple duty: She was readying her performance that would put her in front of 43 million faces; she was gearing up for the new musical; and the third — and leading — priority was motherhood. This particular day, she kept her son Walker from school and cancelled her nail appointment to "play dinosaurs" with her 4-year-old.
"We keep missing each other," she explained.
Menzel said she usually learns a thing or two from the characters she portrays — whether it was her breakthrough as Maureen Johnson in "Rent" or Elphaba in "Wicked," which won her a Tony in 2004. She has also starred on Fox's "Glee," playing the mother of Lea Michele's character.
Her latest role as Elizabeth — who is being pulled in two directions in "If/Then" — may seem parallel to Menzel's personal life, since she and actor Taye Diggs announced they were separating after 10 years of marriage last year.
"I've been lucky to have roles that teach me about myself at a time when I need to hear it — so I am learning while I'm in the role creating and rehearsing. Then I find a way in my own process to be able to leave it at the door and move on," she said. "But I also find a way to integrate it into what I need to do as a human being to evolve and become a better person. This particular show ... it's about a woman starting over and not trying to control every outcome and the choices we make as opposed to fate and what's destined and what isn't."
Menzel even says she's been able to relate to her young character in "Frozen": "I always say, when I was younger I was more fierce than I am now. I wouldn't have taken no for an answer. It's the older you get, and even more successful, that you start to doubt yourself."
But Menzel isn't living in regrets — and she even has useful advice for young performers, and her younger self.
"You just have to keep doing what you love and try not to worry about following the rules," she said. "And it may not work out, but if you're really good at some point the stars align and then things happens."

Box Score
DURHAM, N.C. – Junior attackman Josh Dionne scored five goals while junior midfielder Brendan Fowler won 19-of-30 faceoffs to lead seventh-ranked Duke to a 19-16 home victory over Virginia on Friday night as 3,072 spectators watched at Koskinen Stadium. Jake Tripucka added a career-high seven points for the Blue Devils in the win.
"Josh has been tremendously consistent from day one," said head coach John Danowski. "He really is just extremely coachable. He's a sponge and he's just gained confidence each week. Jake is perhaps one of our best athletes. There really is nothing he can't do and offensively we've been waiting for a night like this from Jake."
Winners of a nation's best eight straight games, Duke (10-4, 2-1 ACC) secured a share of the ACC regular season championship alongside Maryland and North Carolina. Duke earns the No. 3 seed overall in the ACC Tournament and will take on No. 2 North Carolina April 26 at 7:30 p.m., in Chapel Hill. The Blue Devils also improved to 12-1 against the Cavaliers under Danowski.
"The Virginia game is one of those games where everything kind of goes out the window," said Dionne. "We were fortunate enough that it was our home game with our seniors and I think that gave us a lot of motivation. But at the end of the day, our records, their records don't really matter. It's just a battle and you look up at the end of the game to see what happened and we came out on top today."
The first half featured four lead changes as the teams battled to a 9-9 score at intermission. Duke's Jordan Wolf capped a 3-0 run to put the Blue Devils ahead 8-5 early in the second period, but Virginia (5-7, 0-3 ACC) closed the half with four markers while allowing just one to send the teams to the locker room deadlocked, 9-9.
Led by Mark Cockerton's three tallies, the Cavaliers stormed out of halftime and scored four goals in just over five minutes to open the third quarter to claim a 13-9 lead. Duke responded with three straight goals from Case Matheis, Tripucka and Josh Offit before Virginia's Rob Emery closed the quarter with a goal to make the score 14-12 after 45 minutes of play.
The Blue Devils carried the momentum in the fourth period by scoring seven unanswered goals. In all, Duke utilized a 10-1 run to erase the 13-9 deficit and go in front, 19-14, on Dionne's tally with 3:50 left in the contest. The Cavaliers scored a pair of man-advantage goals in the final 2:19 to account for the final 19-16 margin.
"I thought when [Virginia] was playing man they were sliding quickly and our kids did a really nice job of just being very unselfish and moving the ball and finishing," Danowski said. "Then when they went to zone it's a whole different mindset. Six guys have to be on the same page and you have to be extremely patient. So we tried a couple of different things and after halftime Coach [Ron] Caputo thought we should play a little differently and we had a little more success."
Offit, Tripucka and David Lawson each scored three goals for the Blue Devils with Tripucka adding four assists on the night. Five of Tripucka's seven points for the evening came in the second half as he assisted on the tying and go-ahead goal to make it 15-14. In goal, Kyle Turri improved to 8-0 on the season and was credited with eight saves.
"This season has been a roller coaster," Dionne said. "But this group of guys is the only ones I would want to do this with. Being able to play with Jake Tripucka and Dave Lawson…My job is honestly pretty easy. I kind of made it hard on them because I kept making them pass me the ball because I took so many shots."
Virginia received a game-high six goals from Cockerton while Matt White chipped in four goals and one assist. Nick O'Reilly matched Cockerton's team-high six points with two markers and four helpers. Between the pipes, Rhody Heller made 16 saves.
In a matchup featuring two of the nation's top ground ball squads, the Blue Devils scooped up 44 compared to Virginia's 37. The Cavaliers entered the game leading the country with an average of 39.4 per game. Fowler and Luke Duprey each carded eight grounders to pace Duke.
The game also featured the top two winningest active coaches in NCAA Division I lacrosse. Danowski earned his 324th career victory while Cavalier lead man Dom Starsia remained atop the list with 346 career wins.
Duke travels to face Rutgers next Saturday, April 20 at 7 p.m.

ADRIAN — Fighting a bill for nearly $6,000 in back property taxes was added last month to the list of things Gregg Arbaugh is helping his aging parents handle.
Although they have owned and lived in the same house in Adrian Township since the 1970s, their homestead property tax exemption — also called a primary residence exemption — was revoked by the Michigan Department of Treasury.
His parents' home is one of 245 parcels in Lenawee County that have been mailed additional tax bills since the state began an audit of homestead, or principal residence exemptions in Lenawee County. Homes that property owners live in are exempt from paying the state's 18-mill local school property tax that was created in the 1994 school finance reforms.
Arbaugh said the homestead denial for his parents' house is an error that may have resulted from his having the same name as his father and by having their property tax bills mailed to his home in Schoolcraft.
An appeal has been filed that he was told could take up to a year. He is being advised, he said, to the pay the back taxes and have the money refunded later.
"We have no interest in paying somebody for their error," Arbaugh said.
"I think this thing is going to go away as soon as somebody opens it and takes a look at it," he said. He said he filed about 15 documents showing proof the house is where his parents live. But no one seems willing to look at the case ahead of hundreds of others in line for review, he said.
Many Lenawee County property owners receiving bills for back taxes because of the state's audit have telephoned Lenawee County Treasurer Marilyn Woods to complain.
"Oh, yeah," Woods said.
Bills she has had to mail out are as large as $10,000. But there is little Woods can offer to callers who believe the tax bills are wrong.
"We just tell them they have to contact the state to appeal," she said.
The tax payments, meanwhile, are due 60 days from the billing date, Woods said. After that, she said, penalties are added and the amount becomes part of a delinquent tax on the property.
The bills are canceled if an appeal reinstates the homestead exemption, with no cost to the property owner, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury. If the property owner is eventually determined to owe the back taxes, however, there is a 1.25 percent monthly interest rate and administration fees added on.
A frequently asked questions document on the treasury department's website says it can take "several months to a year" for the appeal process to be completed.
County administrator and equalization director Martin Marshall said he sent a letter of support for Arbaugh's case. It is not clear if that will speed up the review process, however, he said.
"It's an unfortunate circumstance that his parents' property has been caught up in," Marshall said.
Lenawee County has been doing its own audits of homestead exemptions for years, he said, which has delayed the state from doing its own review here. Marshall said he believes local and county assessors have been "reasonably successful" with internal audits of the 40,000 parcels of property in the county and does not expect substantial changes in homestead exemptions once the process is completed.
Audit cranking out bills for back property taxes
ADRIAN — Fighting a bill for nearly $6,000 in back property taxes was added last month to the list of things Gregg Arbaugh is helping his aging parents handle.

Two Crusaders ended up in the top five individually.
Two top-ten finishers in the first varsity golf tournament of the year for Wellington is a good foundation to build on for the Crusaders.
With a score of 76, Nick Becker, senior, took third place and Logan Woodbridge, senior, shot a 77 for sixth place.
"I'm pleased with the results today," said Head Coach, James Ginter, on April 4. "Very happy for Nick, to place third in his first high school tournament is amazing. Logan played well for his first tournament of the year as well."
Taking the top spot in the Wheat Capital on Thursday, shooting par (70), was Wichita-Collegiate's Cameron Chugg, sophomore. Chugg's teammate, Ian Trebilock, freshman, placed second with a score of 72.
Collegiate ended up taking home the team championship as well. The Spartans' score was 300, Augusta placed second with 332, Goddard-Eisenhower rounded up the top-three shooting a 355. Hesston finished fourth, with Wellington four shots behind them at 341, good for fifth as a team. Thirteen schools competed in Wellington on April 4.
Next up for the Crusaders golf squad is a tournament at Andover Central on April 8, followed by a contest in Augusta on April 11. The tournament on April 4 was the only home tournament on the schedule for WHS this season.
"Our younger and inexperienced players were able to gain some valuable experience today [April 4] as well," Ginter said. "We have a chance to be pretty good by the end of the year if we commit to practicing hard."

No. 12 Huskers Face No. 35 Cowgirls
No. 12 Nebraska (15-2, 4-0 Big Ten)
vs. No. 35 Oklahoma State (7-3, 1-1 Big 12)
Thursday, March 21, 5 p.m. (San Diego, Calif.)
The No. 12 Nebraska Huskers women's tennis team (15-2, 4-0 Big Ten) heads up against a former Big 12 foe with No. 35 Oklahoma State (7-3, 1-1 Big 12) on Thursday, March 21 at 5 p.m. The match is on the west coast in San Diego, Calif. to allow the players to get some playing time on the outdoor courts. Oklahoma State's record will change before the match on Thursday following their match against Illinois on Tuesday, March 19. This is the 34th meeting between the two teams with Oklahoma State leading the series 26-7.
Huskers In The ITA National Rankings
Nebraska's current rank at 12th came after dropping six places following their loss to non-ranked San Diego. The ITA Division I women's tennis rankings were released Tuesday, March 19 and Nebraska dropped to No. 12 in the nation this week.
Mary Weatherholt remains at No. 10 in ITA singles with an undefeated record (15-0, 7-0 against ranked opponents) on the season, including matches against then-ranked No. 16 Ema Burgic of Baylor, No. 23 Brynn Boren of Tennessee, No. 58 Britney Sanders of Notre Dame, No. 41 Kelsey Dieters of Ohio State, No. 17 Petra Niedermayerova of Kansas State, No. 120 Melissa Kopinski of Illinois, and No. 55 Kate Turvy of Northwestern.
Mary Weatherholt and partner Patricia Veresova remain in the ITA doubles rankings at No. 7. The two are undefeated (11-0) on the season, including three victories against ranked opponents over then-ranked No. 12 Brynn Boren and Kata Szekely of Tennesse, No. 31 Petra Niedermayerova and Karla Bonacic from Kansas State, and No. 8 Linda Abu Mushrefova and Nida Hamilton of Northwestern.
Nebraska is currently 9-1 against teams ranked in the ITA top 75, with four of them falling outside the top 25. The Huskers have knocked off No. 7 Northwestern, No. 15 Baylor, No. 18 Notre Dame, No. 21 Vanderbilt, No. 23 Tennessee, No. 32 Kansas State, No. 37 Illinois, No. 55 Ohio State, and No. 64 Wyoming. Nebraska's only ranked loss came from No. 10 Miami at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships on Feb. 8.
The Huskers are the third-highest ranked team in the Big Ten behind No. 9 Michigan and No. 11 Northwestern. Nine teams from the Big Ten are in the top 75 this week, with a total of four in the top 25. The other ranked Big Ten teams are No. 21 Purdue, No. 37 Penn State, No. 38 Indiana, No. 47 Illinois, No. 53 Ohio State, and No. 74 Iowa.
Mary Weatherholt Earns Athlete of the Week Third Time
The Huskers senior from Prairie Village, Kan. won the Big Ten Women's Tennis Athlete-of-the-Week honors on March 13 following her impressive undefeated record, including several victories over ranked opponents in both singles and doubles. This marks the third time that Weatherholt has earned the award this season thus far, after claiming the honors the week of Jan. 30 and Feb. 13.
Weatherholt Sets Career Singles Wins Record for Nebraska
Weatherholt, with her 15 singles victories thus far this season, has set the record for Career Singles wins at 108, previously held by Sandra Noetzel from 1996-2000. She set the record on Friday, Feb. 22 with a victory agaisnt UALR.
Weatherholt Sets Career Combined Wins Record
Being undefeated on the season with a 26-0 combined record (15-0 single, 11-0 doubles), Weatherholt has reached 182 combined victories become the winningest women's tennis player in Huskers history, formerly held by former teammate Madeleine Geibert with 181 total career combined wins. This pushes Geibert down to No. 2 and Sandra Noetzel's 172 down to No. 3, formerly at No. 2. Only halfway through the season, Weatherholt will easily stretch this record even further with the remaining matches to be played.
Weinstein on the Record Hunt
Stefanie Weinstein has notched 32 combined victories this season which notches her at No. 4 on th Career Combined wins record board (with 167). She toppled Imke Reimers' 164 on Friday, March 8 with her two victories against Illinois. Weinstein currently needs six more wins to overtake Sandra Noetzel's 172 and only five more to tie her.
Weinstein also has 17 individual doubles wins this season which bumps her to the No. 2 spot on the school's Career Doubles Individual Wins list at 86. This pushes former No. 2 Imke Reimers' 74 to third and former No. 3 Sandra Noetzel's 71 to fourth, Weinstein's former mark. Five more individual doubles wins would put her tied for first with former teammate Madeleine Geibert with 91. Seven more victories would set the record and peak her at the top of the list.
Looking Ahead
Nebraska continues on the road to State College, Pa. to play Penn State on Sunday, March 31 at 11 a.m. before returning to Lincoln, Neb. to host Purdue and Indiana. The match against Purdue is set for April 5 at 3 p.m. and the match against Indiana is scheduled for April 7 at 11 a.m. These matches will be played outside at the Vine Street Courts, but will relocate to the Nebraska Tennis Center in the case of harsh weather.
Scouting Oklahoma State
Head Coach: Chris Young
2012 Record: 11-10, 5-4 Big 12
National Ranking: 35
Oklahoma State is currently 7-3 overall. The Cowgirls are coming off of a loss against Texas resulting in a 6-1 score and play Illinois on Tuesday, March 19 at 2:00 p.m. CT. Oklahoma State currently are ranked No. 35 and have one player in the singles rankings with No. 83 Malika Rose and no duos ranked in doubles. Last season Oklahoma State went 11-10, 5-4 Big 12. Oklahoma State and Nebraska have met 33 times throughout history with the series led by Oklahoma State 26-7.

DURHAM, N.C. - After trailing 1-0 early, Campbell scored five runs over the fourth, fifth and sixth innings and added four more in the ninth en route to a 9-3 victory over the Duke baseball team Wednesday afternoon at Jack Coombs Field.
Now hitting .333 as a team, the Camels recorded 13 hits, including six for extra bases, and had six players with multiple hits on the afternoon. Campbell's Ryan Mattes (3-0) earned the win, his third of the season, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out two. Right-hander Logan Self closed out the remaining four innings for the save, striking out four while allowing just one hit.
"First off, [Campbell is] a very good club," said head coach Chris Pollard. "They are a very veteran club. They play with a lot of confidence and they really understand what they are trying to do. We knew coming in that they were going to try to be very aggressive on the bases and that try to use, as they have the last couple of years, the hit by pitch to kick start their offense. At times I thought we did a good job of controlling that today, but at times they did a good job of imposing their will on us offensively."
Freshman right-hander James Marvel (0-1) picked up the loss for Duke. The rookie from Moraga, Calif., went 4.0 innings, allowing five runs on five hits in his second career start. First baseman Chris Marconcini led the Blue Devils at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a home run and an RBI.
Duke (4-3) struck first in the midweek matchup as Marconcini drilled a solo shot over the right field wall to put the Blue Devils on top 1-0 in the bottom of the second. The home run was Marconcini's second this season and sixth of his career.
The lead would prove to be short-lived as Campbell (7-1) answered in the top of the third. Clayton Brown led off the frame with a triple to right center and came home on a sac fly from Ben McQuown for the Camels' first run of the game.
An Elijah Trail solo home run began a three-run fourth inning for the Camels as Campbell secured a lead it would not relinquish the rest of the way. A single and a hit batter put two men on and Brown delivered the two-out, two-RBI double to left center to put Campbell on top 4-1.
Duke responded in the bottom half of the inning, scoring a pair of runs with two outs. Marconcini began the two-out rally with a single up the middle, followed by an Anthony D'Alessandro triple down the right field line. After Mark Lumpa was hit by a pitch, freshman Kenny Koplove lined a single to left field for his first career hit and RBI, pulling Duke within one run.
A second leadoff triple for the Camels, this time off the bat of Brent Graham, allowed Campbell to plate its fifth run of the game. Graham would reach home on a ground ball to second from Michael Felton, giving Campbell a 5-3 lead in the fifth.
The two teams would battle through three scoreless innings in the sixth, seventh and eighth before Campbell broke the game open with four runs in the ninth. McQuown started the inning with a single up the middle. Graham laid down the bunt down the first base line and beat out the play to put two runners on with no outs. Back-to-back doubles from Felton and Trail made it an 8-3 game before a Michael Delucia single plated the final run of the day.
"I think you learn from that," Pollard added. "We ran a lot of really young guys out there today. When you are a young guy and you are trying to learn how to control an aggressive team and still execute the pitch, that can be more difficult than a team that maybe doesn't run a lot. An aggressive team that steals bases does that to you. I thought at times we handled it well and I thought at times we let it affect our ability to execute the pitch today. That is what we will learn from it. How to do the best job you can to control the running game, but when it is time to execute the pitch, you have to execute the pitch."
Duke and Campbell will meet for a second time this season on Mar. 26. The Blue Devils will travel to Buies Creek, N.C., for the 6 p.m., game.
The Blue Devils return to action this weekend as Duke hosts Towson in a three-game series at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. First pitch of game one is set for 4:30 p.m., Friday.

Jim Beauregard's Tasting Notes: More gluten-free choicesBY JIM BEAUREGARD March 26. 2013 6:49PM
Back to gluten. Gluten-free beer, that is.
Recall from last time that Celiac disease, a nasty thing, rules out consumption of the wheat that is found in so much of our food. An alternative to beers made with wheat or barley, gluten-free beers are made from plants that don't contain gluten, and these include so-called "grist materials" from malted sorghum, buckwheat and common millet.
So let's continue the journey where we left off with tasting notes of more gluten-free beers (prices are from Bert's Better Beers in Hooksett):
New Planet Tread Lightly Ale, $3.15. Clear/Pale gold, small white head, hoppy nose, Sharp palate, hoppy, good acidity, balanced components, long finish that keeps the hops going.
New Planet Pale Ale, $3.15. Amber gold, light tan head, sorghum and brown rice extract in this one, a nose that gives some malty sense, balanced and strong palate with good bitterness, hops that come through with a malt flavor, also well-balanced, intense flavors of hops and light malt. Both this one and the one above could pass for regular old beers if you didn't know they were made differently.
New Planet 3R Raspberry Ale, $3.15. Very light nose, white head with just the tiniest hint of pink, gold beer, and the raspberry comes through on the palate, ripe and rich, this can be a draw to anyone who likes fruit beers, the raspberry stays with you along a long, steady finish.
Omission Lager, $2.15. 4.6% abv. Small white frothy head, slowly diminishing, yellow pale beer, rather intense hoppy nose, reflected on the palate as well. Moderate bitterness, reasonable acidity, balanced alcohol, light body, medium-light texture. Good finish.
Omission Pale Ale, $2.15. Back into the amber ballpark, light tan head, slightly cloudy unfiltered look, light malty nose, malty palate, with bitterness coming to the fore toward the finish. Light bodied, good carbonation, good balance of components, some roasted and bread notes.
S'Peter's Sorgham Beer, $5.75. A little skunky when opened, then hops hints, white head, pale gold beer, all hops, no malt on the palate, very good bitterness, I think of this one as a food beer, paired with something spicy.
S'Peter's Dark Sorgham Beer, $5.99. Dark brown, but not opaque, light tan head that lasts, good bitterness, citrus type flavors, hay, grassiness. Profile stays through the finish.
Green's Amber Ale. $6.45. Amber ale under a tan frothy head. Darker, animal type notes, toffee ballpark, the palate is darker, more toward molasses, but not too intense, some nutty and burned notes. Medium body, more filling.
Green's Tripel Blonde Ale, $6.45. Blonde it is, light gold, pale, white head, fresh bracing nose of white fruit, hints of tartness, bracing flavors of fruit, not overwhelming, but held well in balance, on the white fruit, citrus end of the spectrum. Pleasing finish.
Green's Dubbel Dark Ale, $6.45. Brown, heading toward black beer, light brown head, and this one's made from millet, buckwheat, rice, sorghum, hops, yeast and water. The nose is very light, hints of fruit in the citrus region. Medium body, medium bitterness, good carbonation, balanced components, and the flavor profile brings the fruit, also some balanced bitterness in harmony on a long finish.
So there you have it. My conclusion, sitting here at a table full of gluten-free beer each missing a pour, is that there's hope for beer lovers who may have had to give it up in the past because their body said no.
If you're interested, stop by Bert's in Hooksett, and ask him to point you toward the gluten-free section. It's right near the mead, which is gluten-free, too.

An Asher man charged with first-degree murder in the December shooting death of his college classmate will stand trial in the case after waiving his right to a preliminary hearing.
An Asher man charged with first-degree murder in the December shooting death of his college classmate will stand trial in the case after waiving his right to a preliminary hearing.
Jerrod Murray, 18, was scheduled for a preliminary hearing Thursday in Pottawatomie County District Court. During such a hearing, a judge determines if there's enough evidence for a case to proceed to trial.
Murray waived his right to that hearing and is now scheduled for arraignment on April 17, where's he'll formally enter a plea in the case.
Murray is accused in the shooting death of Generro Sanchez, 18. Both the suspect and victim were freshmen at East Central University in Ada and reportedly lived in the dorms on campus.
Murray is accused of offering Sanchez $20 to take him on a trip to Walmart, but instead forced him at gunpoint to drive to an area about five miles north of Asher, where arrest affidavit alleges Murray shot and killed his classmate and left is body in the ditch.
Murray allegedly admitted to investigators that he'd been planning to kill someone for the previous three weeks, according to the arrest affidavit, and targeted Sanchez, who he only knew by his first name.
Prosecutors are planning to seek the death penalty in this case against Murray.
Three defendants charged in two other local murder cases also were set for preliminary hearing son Friday.
Joseph Neay, 22, is accused of unlawfully, and with malice aforethought, causing the death of Shawnee residents Marty Lee Jones by stabbing him with a knife, charges read.
Jones, 45, was found dead Nov. 2 in his home, 709 E. 11th, and Neay was arrested in the case later that afternoon.
Police said a postal carrier delivering mail reported smoke coming from the house just before 10 a.m. Shawnee firefighters responded to battle that blaze and found Jones dead in the kitchen.
According to reports in the case, Neay allegedly admitted walking to the home to confront Marty Jones about allegedly assaulting his mother. He allegedly told detectives he walked into the front door and that he and Jones began fighting in the bedroom.
Neay's preliminary hearing was postponed until Aug. 2.
Two brothers from McLoud charged in the death of a man found dead at Shawnee Twin Lakes in December were scheduled for a preliminary hearing Friday. One brother waived his hearing while the other's was postponed for a competency evaluation.
The body of Adam Pacheco, 27, was found Dec. 29 about halfway down the north side of the dam on Belcher Road at Lake No. 1. His cause of death was ruled as multiple gunshot wounds.
Andrew Fish, 25, is charged with murder the first degree, deliberate intent. He is accused of "deliberately, intentionally, with malice aforethought," causing the death of Pacheco by shooting him in the head with a firearm. The hearing for Andrew Fish was continued until May 3 to allow time for a competency evaluation.
Reuben Fish is charged with accessory after the fact and is accused of having knowledge that his brother committed the crime of murder, charges show. Prosecutors also allege Reuben Fish aided his brother in moving Pacheco's body from their residence in McLoud so that Andrew Fish could avoid or escape arrest in the crime, charges show. Reuben Fish waived his right to a preliminary hearing Friday. He is now scheduled for arraignment on April 17.
All the defendants remain jailed in the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center.
Watch for updates.

News Analysis: How Will the Supremes Rule on Marriage Equality?
The world will not end on Dec. 21, 2012, but for gay families it might get considerably more complicated... or blessedly more equal, or perhaps even both at once... once the Supreme Court issues its rulings on two monumentally important cases, with rulings expected sometime in mid-2013.
The two cases involve the constitutionality of the anti-gay federal law, the "Defense of Marriage" Act," which then-President Bill Clinton signed into law in 1996. DOMA takes vicious, pitiless aim at same-sex couples and their children by singling them out for blanket denial of all federal recognition, including benefits like tax breaks and Social Security benefits.
The plethora of complications this raises for gay families is staggering; States are free to ignore the marital status of wedded single-gender couples from marriage equality states, and similarly opens the door for parents to be rendered legal strangers to their own children simply by crossing a state line.
Married couples in the states that recognize their unions know firsthand how the federal tax code punishes them. I should know: Every year my husband and I file jointly for state taxes in Massachusetts, and thenhave to prepare separate filings for Uncle Sam. It usually costs us between $600 to $1,000 in additional taxes that we would not have to pay if DOMA did not deny us equal treatment before the law on a federal level.
If one of us were to die, the other could be left facing a hefty -- perhaps even confiscatory -- tax bill. Irony of ironies: If the Tea Party had not become so blatantly homophobic, just think of the appeal it would have had for families like ours thanks to its stance on taxation issues!
What Being 'A Suspect Class' Means
President Barack Obama single-handedly delivered to our families a huge and potentially game-changing gift by deeming gays and lesbians a "suspect class." No, not suspect as in somehow untrustworthy or menacing or criminal -- that's the stance of anti-gay groups like the National Organization for Marriage (It was NOM, remember, that insisted that all the GOP hopefuls for the 2012 presidential election sign a pledge to investigate gays on the basis of allegations that marriage equality advocates had threatened violence against supporters of Proposition 8, the anti-gay law that stripped gay families of their then-existing marriage rights in 2008.)
No, this "suspect class" refers rather to a class of people who, through their essential and unalterable identities, are different from the majority and are, as a result, persecuted for their differences. Gays and lesbians have known for decades that this description fits us, and we've spoken out about it for decades too.
It was only when Obama put us in that "suspect class" category and refused to defend DOMA in federal courts, where the law has been taking a beating, did we gain official recognition that we are who we say we are: People who were born to be sexually and romantically attracted to those of our own gender. In other words, we didn't "choose" the "lifestyle" of gays and lesbians in order to piss people off or make some kind of political statement. It's who we are -- and who we are supposed to be.
Hearing Prop 8: A Mixed Blessing
The Supreme Court will also be ruling on the constitutionality of Proposition 8, which was a terrifying benchmark in the politics of big-money cynicism. The anti-gay side spent around $80 million lying to California's parents, telling them that marriage equality for gay adults would somehow translate into classroom pressure to turn innocent children gay. (More of the same "choosing to be gay" baloney, in other words.) Our rights should never have been subject to popular vote in the first place, but for the voters of California to yank existing marriage rights out of the hands of gay families is, the courts have so far agreed, a violation of our rights under the Equal Protection clause of the U.S. Constitution.
The court could simply have declined to hear the Prop 8 case, with the result that the appeals court decision upholding the original ruling against Prop 8 would have stood and marriage rights would have been restored in California. It's either deeply troublesome that the Court agreed to hear the case, or cause for jubilation.
Here's the problem: If the court wants to roadblock social progress and family rights for gays for decades to come, then agreeing to hear the case with an eye to striking down Judge Vaughn Walker's original ruling against Prop 8 is one way to do it. There would be the possibility of all sorts of collateral damage.
Once a fundamental right of one minority can be rescinded at the ballot box, the reasoning goes, what protects the rights of any other minority group? But this, in turn, could pave the way for endless, expensive and stressful challenges to marriage equality in any or all of the nine states and the District of Columbia where marriage equality either is a reality now, or soon will be.
On the other hand, a Supreme Court finding that upholds Walker's original ruling, and the ruling that the appeals court handed down affirming Walker's judgment, could potentially rid the entire country of the anti-gay language now enshrined, via plebiscite, in the constitutions of 31 states. That seems a little unlikely, given that the Supreme Court does not tend to make extraordinarily radical rulings.
Next: The Danger: A Restricted Ruling

A Washington state egg farm is accused of refusing to pay its chicken feed supplier more than $370,000 it was owed.
Purina Animal Nutrition has filed a lawsuit against National Food Corp. of Everett, Wash., claiming the egg producer and marketer didn't fully pay for roughly 830 tons of soybean meal earlier this year.
Capital Press was unable to reach an executive of the National Food Corp. for comment.
The complaint, which accuses the egg farm of unjust enrichment and breach of contract, seeks compensation for the feed as well as interest and other costs.
Earlier this year, the National Food Corp. agreed to pay $650,000 to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The agency claimed that the company's management "fired or forced out" employees who complained about a supervisor who allegedly demanded sexual favors from a female hen house worker.
The alleged harasser no longer works for the company and the settlement prevents National Food Corp. from re-hiring him.

Jeff Lorton believes drone technology is the next big thing in agriculture, and he's determined to make sure it lands in Yamhill County, the center of Oregon's world-class wine industry.
Lorton, the county's part-time economic development manager, has organized a Dec. 9 "Precision Farming Forum" to introduce the concept to farmers, vineyard operators and nursery managers. Experts in the field of UAVs – unmanned aerial vehicles – will discuss the possibilities and realities during the all-day session.
"There's an application for nearly every agriculturist coming in the near future," Lorton said.
The forum happens Monday, Dec. 9, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Leslie Lewis Pavilion of the Yamhill County Fairgrounds, 2070 N.E. Lafayette Ave., McMinnville. Admission is free, but online tickets are necessary for entry. To register, go to www.growyamhillcounty.com and click on the "Events" tab.
Enthusiasts believe small, unmanned planes equipped with cameras and other sensors can be of great benefit in agriculture, forestry, wildlife management and law enforcement. In farming, their potential uses include flying over nurseries to do inventory and identifying areas of plant damage, disease or irrigation problems. Larger drones could carry payloads of pesticides or fertilizer, an application now being tested at vineyards in California's Napa Valley.
"It's a big game changer in agriculture," Lorton said. "The Holy Grail of it is crop diagnostics."
Lorton believes drone technology will spawn a myriad of economic opportunities for spin-off industries, in addition to luring engineers and software developers. He hopes Yamhill County will become a center for the industry.
Speakers at the forum include Oregon State University forestry engineering professor Michael Wing, who is part of OSU's newly formed Unmanned Vehicle System Research Consortium. In an OSU news release earlier this year, Wing described the state as the perfect spot for UAV testing.
"Within about 100 miles you can go from the Pacific Ocean to seashore dunes, coastal mountains, agricultural valleys, rivers, urban areas, many types of forest, volcanoes, lava fields, alpine peaks, canyons and high sagebrush desert," Wing said in the news release.
Other speakers include Ryan Jenson, chief executive of HoneyComb Corp., a fledgling Portland company that has developed a drone specifically intended for agriculture.
At 3:30 is a panel discussion on "UAVs and the Oregon Farmer."
