Comments that Americans have all but forgotten about the great outdoors are everywhere these days, from children's television to the White House Council on Fitness. An e-mail newsletter from the Renewable Energy Long Island group brought notice this week of a new effort to get people off their duffs and doing something to connect with nature.
In an online promotional challenge, the makers of a well-known ale will give cash donations to several environmental organizations to mark Earth Day, which is April 22. All the online public has to do is agree to make such vows as "I pledge today to look at trees that aren't coming out of a copy machine" or "I pledge to trade my BlackBerry for my barbecue." Onward the statements go, essentially advocating a national day of office hooky, which, if you think about it, is not such a bad idea.
For every digital agreement, the beer company will give $25, up to $2,500 apiece, to the American Solar Energy Society, Engineers Without Borders, Rails-to-Trails, and the Wild Salmon Center. (I voted for the engineers.)
That I like this particular brand of beer notwithstanding, the promotion caught my attention. I can report from my own household that the kids sometimes need strong encouragement to put down the electronic devices and go outside.
I am guilty, too. Whole workweeks can go by during which my sum total of fresh air and weather awareness comes from rushing out to feed the chickens in the morning, herding the kids into my pickup truck, and walking across the Star parking lot. Feeling guilty perhaps, I park the truck at the farthest end of the lot; that way, I have a few more steps both ways. I did get out a lot more when I used to take one of our dogs to the office most days. Dogs have a way of demanding that — or else.
Earth Day falls on a Friday this year and during a week that the kids are on spring break. I might just take the beer company's suggestion to heart and pack a picnic and forget about the office for a day. If you need to get in touch with me, I'll be at the beach.

I talk with my friend Arthur twice a week, and each conversation starts the same way.
"Hi Arthur, it's Laura."
"Laura, dawling. Whe-ah are you?"
"I'm in Ohio."
"You're still the-ah?"
It's been almost 10 months since my boyfriend, Joe, and I left New York.
"Yep, still here! Grad school is going really well, and it's great to be close to family. It's hard being far from friends, though. I wish we were tasting olives together right now."
>> Sign up for the AARP Health Newsletter
"Me, too."
Arthur just turned 89, and his dementia is slowly progressing. Our four-year friendship has taught me a lot, especially about the art of conversation.
Conversations with people with dementia can be challenging, but perhaps that's because they feel different at first. The give and take, the natural back and forth of asking questions and sharing information, can seem imbalanced.
But who, exactly, has been in a perfectly balanced conversation? Do they exist? And, if so, are they any fun?
Talking to people with dementia, I've come to understand, is like talking to anyone else. It's a dance, and you're always finding new steps. The lessons I've learned over the years from Arthur and from others make chats involving cognitive challenges a little easier, but they also apply to all kinds of conversations. Here are a handful:
Reorient your listener. It's never a bad idea to get on the same page. That's what I do with my Ohio recap at the start of our talks via phone or FaceTime. I also always say my name when I call Arthur's landline, even though I think he recognizes my voice. Reminders make conversations more comfortable because nobody's guessing.
Take the front seat. Or the back one, depending on your read of the situation. On quiet days, I find myself dominating the conversation with Arthur, but my stories oftentimes trigger reactions that might not surface on their own. Be willing to take the lead, even if that's not your typical conversation style.
>> Get discounts on health services with your AARP Member Advantages.
Say "Yes, and …" This is a standby strategy for improv actors to keep the dialogue going. Leaders in creative arts programming for people with dementia, such as Gary Glazner of the Alzheimer's Poetry Project and Elizabeth Lokon of Opening Minds through Art (OMA), also use this as a tactic. All contributions to the conversation – both verbal and nonverbal – are worthy and welcome.
Go where it leads. There are times I want to talk about something in particular – let's say Arthur's family business (a doughnut shop in Brooklyn) – but he won't play ball. And that should always be fine. Checking expectations at the door frees the conversation to take its own shape.
No two people with dementia are alike. Different strategies will speak to different individuals. But considering conversations in a new light just might spark dialogue you didn't expect.
After we talk about Ohio and New York and life for a while, Arthur always asks another question.
"How's Joe?"
And just like that, he remembers my boyfriend – and like any good friend, we have plenty to talk about from there.

Today is National Coming Out Day, and as such, I've elected to come out.
Most of you who already know me are probably giggling at this notion, but I have not yet formally come out to my relatives, many of which are able to read this post.
Many of you who've re-added me on Facebook have likely noticed the name change. The change is to reflect that I no longer identify by my gender-specific name.
I have known most of my adult life that I'm queer. With relatives, I've learned over time to artfully dodge the issue, as well as the issue of my polyamory, for simplicity. But, there's nothing simple about hiding major parts of your life away from those you love.
Moving to San Francisco, and meeting so many with such strong conviction about who they are, has helped me examine myself and my gender dysmorphia. I've never felt that "male" fits with how I identify as a person, and I feel as if, here in SF, I can finally explore a new path. As I visit my doctor tomorrow, and talk about the next step of that path, I come out.
I am queer. I currently identify as genderqueer. I have also identified as polyamorous, and have been in multiple simultaneous long-term relationships, for almost a decade now.
I've reached a point in my life where I want my relatives in my life, but the opinions of those who don't take this information well are understandable. I'll be alright either way.

This includes but is not limited to admissions, employment, financial aid, and educational services. This publication is issued by Oklahoma State University as Authorized by the Dean of the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources and has been prepared at $520.00 for 3,000 copies funded in part by USDA-NIFA grant #2010-41590-20754.
Nationally, nearly 300,000 farm and ranch workers between the ages of 15 and 79 have a disability.
More than 17,000 Oklahomans working in agriculture report having an impairment that limits their ability to perform essential farm tasks.
The Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service has offices in all 77 counties. This enhances Oklahoma State University's Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources commitment to Oklahoma communities as county-based Extension educators work side-by-side with residents to address local issues and concerns.
The Oklahoma Assistive Technology Foundation (OkAT) serves as the non-profit disability partner for Oklahoma AgrAbility, with services provided by Oklahoma ABLE Tech (Oklahoma's Assistive Technology Act Program).
Langston University School of Physical Therapy focuses on educating future physical therapists who will work with under-served populations to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities through the provision of quality healthcare. Langston University also created the first Doctor of Physical Therapy program in Oklahoma.
OkAT, the non-profit disability partner of AgrAbility, accepts tax deductible donations to sustain program activities. Donations are applied toward assistive technologies for individuals with disabilities who desire to continue their participation in agriculture.

How Can You Support AgrAbility?The Oklahoma AgrAbility Project, established in 2002, supports the rehabilitation and assistive technology needs of Oklahoma farmers, ranchers and their families who have been impacted by disabilities and face barriers to continued participation in agriculture.
Oklahoma AgrAbility provides education, networking and direct service to create awareness of state and local services and modifications for farms, homes, equipment and work sites.
The Project maintains working relationships with the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services and other state AgrAbility projects to provide educational programs for health care providers. Additional contacts with service providers, member organizations and state agencies are established and sustained through the Oklahoma AgrAbility Advisory Council.
The Oklahoma Project is one of 24 states participating in the AgrAbility Project funded by the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The National Project was created in the 1990 Farm Bill and provides state projects with training, technical assistance and information about available resources to help people with disabilities employed in agriculture.
Through three priorities, the Oklahoma AgrAbility Project strives to provide education, networking and direct service in an effort to support farmers, ranchers and their families with disabilities.
Education: Involve community members and
professionals to better understand how to accommodate farm, ranch and home needs for agricultural families in need of service.
Networking: Expand the program through mutually sharing information and resources with individuals and organizations.
Direct Service: Assist farmers, ranchers and their families, on-site or by phone, with immediate needs that will allow them to continue to farm or ranch successfully.
Adjustments are made daily on farms and ranches to facilitate independent living and working. Assistive technology includes any of these adaptations:
• lifts to provide access to equipment
• tools that can be used with one hand
• hand controls or lever extensions for operating equipment with minimal force
• adapted hitches to make attaching field equipment less challenging
AgrAbility can assist any Oklahoman with a disability who is engaged in farming, ranching or in any other agriculture-related occupation.
Some disabilities may be present at birth, while others may be the result of accidents, illness or age-related conditions. Such conditions may include:
• arthritis
• amputation
• back pain
• cancer
• cardiac conditions
• cerebral palsy
• chronic pain
• diabetes
• head trauma
• hearing impairment
• mental disorders
• multiple sclerosis
• muscular dystrophy
• post-polio syndrome
• respiratory condition
• spinal cord injury
• stroke
• vision impairment

A marriage band is an ecclesiastical or civil announcement of an upcoming marriage. Ecclesiastical announcements are typically made on three Sundays before the wedding. Civil announcements may be done in a variety of places. They are more often found in church records than they are in civil records.
Publication of the banns does not mean the marriage necessarily took place. They were to give those "opposed" to the wedding time to know about it.

I'm leaving North Carolina soon on my way to Nashville. Details of where I'll be next are linked to your left.<<<<<
Last night I saw Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3 at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC. Amazing. They are one of the best bands out there and you should go see them.
Me and Sock Monkey both feel pretty run down from the tour, but we are holding up nicely in spite of everything. I just submitted a new article to Suicide Girls which will go live at 6AM PST on Monday. It's about whether or not zazen is dangerous for trauma survivors.
Sock Monkey peeked in the comments section for the SDRC piece and said, "Some of those people are absolutely hopeless!" I told him to stop reading it. He just kept shaking his little sock head. Personally I don't even want to know!
Gotta go pack my stuff in the ol' Dodge Avenger and hope it makes it. That little squeaky noise continues. Teenagers and their cars! I tell ya!
Special thanks to Joe and Linda for putting up with me these past few days and for all the food and other stuff. Oh, and the potato gun! Who knew they'd move out to the woods and turn into pyromaniacs!

Ritzel Earns Gold With U.S. Eight; Brzozowicz A Silver With Canada
ETON DORNEY, England – A pair of Yale women's rowers became Olympic medalists on Thursday. Taylor Ritzel '10 and the United States eight held off Ashley Brzozowicz's Canadian eight to win the A final by a little over a second at the Eton Dorney Rowing Center.
Ritzel and Brzozowicz '04 become the third and fourth Yale women's rowers to medal at the Olympics. Virginia Gilder '79 won a silver medal at the 1984 Olympics, while Anne Warner '77 captured a bronze in 1976.
Ritzel is the first Yalie to win a gold medal since sailor Jonathan McKee in 1984. Figure skater Sarah Hughes won a gold medal in 2002 but didn't graduate Yale until 2007. In all, 62 Yalies have now won gold. Brzozowicz becomes the 25th silver medalist in Yale's Olympic history.
"It is amazing what Taylor and Ashley have accomplished," said Will Porter, who coached both during their time at Yale. "To say I am proud is really not enough."
Ritzel and Brzozowicz were joined in the final by Tess Gerrand '10, who was in the Australian eight that finished sixth. Jamie Redman '08 was a spare for the United States.
"To have four athletes at the Olympics is a testament to Yale women's crew, the program, the athletes, the commitment of the athletic department and the university as a whole," Porter said. "Yale is about excellence - pursuing excellence on every level, both in the classroom and on the water. I am proud of all four."
Porter hopes they aren't done with Olympic competition.
"They are all young enough to go for Rio [2016 Olympics]," he said.
The silver medal was particularly sweet for Brzozowicz, who was part of the Canadian eight that finished fourth at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Brzozowicz played a key role in the resurgence of the Yale women's crew program. She sat in the No. 6 seat in the Bulldogs' varsity eight that finished second at the 2004 NCAA Championships. The Bulldogs were second as a team that year, which remains the best finish in school history. She has been a member of the Canadian team since 2006.
Ritzel was a four-year member of Yale's varsity eight, won three NCAA championships and was a three-time All-America selection.
Ritzel was inspired to row by her mother, Lana. After Taylor's swimming career was derailed by an illness in her junior year of high school, Lana set up meetings with the rowing coaches during Taylor's college visits. Lana passed away in November 2010 after a courageous battle with breast cancer.
"I am now so excited that I could give this to her. When we race, there is a move that I do in my head for her," Ritzel told reporters after the race. "When I was walking through to the course today, I saw the sun peak through the clouds. I know she is here and I dedicate to her what I've done."
The United States eight led for virtually the entire race, finishing with a time of 6:10.59. Canada crossed the line in 6:12.06. The Netherlands won the bronze medal in 6:13.12.
It marked the third time the United States has won gold in the event, along with the Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Games and the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Only two other countries have won the women's eights gold three times: East Germany and Romania.
There is still one more member of the Yale women's crew family with a chance to win a medal. Assistant coach Sarah Trowbridge, a Guilford, Conn., native, will row in the double sculls final on Friday.

There's an old joke about the actor cast as the gravedigger in Hamlet. "What's the play about?" the actor's wife asks. "It's about a gravedigger who meets a prince," he tells her. Now, meet Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Tom Stoppard's masterful satire focuses on Hamlet's two best friends from childhood, neither of whom can quite figure out what's going on at Elsinore Castle. As the events of William Shakespeare's Hamlet unfold around them, Ros and Guil visit their old friend, and try to figure out just exactly what's real and what isn't ... and why Hamlet wants them both to die.

RALEIGH, N.C. — After squandering a third-period lead in a season-opening loss to Detroit, the Carolina Hurricanes were happy to be in a similar position against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday.
This time, they got the result they wanted.
Radek Dvorak scored the winner in the second period to lift the Carolina Hurricanes to their first win of the season, a 2-1 victory over the Flyers.
Jay Harrison also scored, Jeff Skinner added two assists and Anton Khudobin made 17 saves in his Hurricanes' debut.
"It definitely had the very same feel as the last game," Carolina's Jordan Staal said. "It was nice to get a different result with the tough ending to last time. It was nice to have a solid third period and do all the right things to get the win."
Luke Schenn had the goal for the Flyers, who have opened the season 0-3-0 for the second year in a row. Before last year, Philadelphia had lost its first three games only one other time in franchise history.
Steve Mason made 32 saves for the Flyers.
Philadelphia has scored only three goals in its three losses.
"I don't know if anything's missing — we're just having a tough time scoring goals," Schenn said. "No one's got that confidence or that swagger right now to score some goals. When you put the puck in the net, it makes everyone feel good around you. For whatever reason, we've had a hard time doing that."
The Hurricanes dominated large stretches of the opening period, taking advantage of a Philadelphia team that lost 4-1 at Montreal on Saturday night before traveling to Raleigh. For the period, Carolina outshot the Flyers 17-5.
Harrison opened the scoring with one of the Hurricanes' more benign opportunities, sneaking the puck through Mason's legs on a wrist shot from inside the blue line.
Philadelphia got that goal back 3:01 into the second period when Schenn skated around Carolina's Drayson Bowman and snapped the puck above Khudobin's left shoulder.
It was the Flyers' first even-strength goal of the season.
"I would think that the guys are probably pretty frustrated," Philadelphia coach Peter Laviolette said. "There's not a lot of room out there. The first game, we had a lot of attempts; the second game, not a lot of attempts. We're in there, we're looking, but we're not coming up with anything."
Dvorak gave the Hurricanes the lead for good when he scored a little more than 5 minutes later.
After Skinner deflected Schenn's clearing attempt, Dvorak collected the loose puck in the high slot. With Carolina's Riley Nash providing a screen, Dvorak's wrist shot beat Mason on the glove side.
"When the forecheck's going well, everything falls into place," Skinner said. "I think the forecheck was going well."
Dvorak, who signed a free agent contract with the Hurricanes on Oct. 2 after coming to training camp on a tryout basis, also scored in the Hurricanes' season-opening loss to Detroit on Friday. The 18-year veteran had four goals in nine games for Anaheim last season.
"Given the opportunity, he can score," Carolina coach Kirk Muller said. "He's got great skill. He's obviously been a great addition over the first two games that we've added to our group of young forwards."
The final period was a tight-checking affair with neither team having many opportunities — Philadelphia managed only three shots.
• NOTES: Elias Lindholm, Carolina's first-round draft pick, went to the Hurricanes' dressing room in the third period with an apparent injury to his right arm. He did not return to the game, although he was on the bench at the end of the game. ... Philadelphia's Vincent Lecavalier came into the game having recorded 27 points in his last 27 games against the Hurricanes. ... Mason had been undefeated in five career outings against Carolina.

NEW BRAUNFELS — School is back in session, and relative quiet has returned to the woods and inland waters that have survived another assault from Texas summer heat, drought, boaters, tubers and trekkers.
While the sizzle is still on and the dry landscape persists, the weeks between the start of school and the arrival of the first cool fronts are a good time for the squared-away outdoorsman to expand another aspect of angling education — basic fly fishing.
Local waterways serve as the convenient classrooms. A satchel of tackle matched to the coursework is essential, of course, and it really helps to have good instructors.
As for the classrooms, area rivers are low and flowing at minimal volumes, some near historic lows for the season, and calm, lazy rivers can be good news for angler education.
In the Hill Country north of San Antonio, the calm waters include the San Marcos, Blanco and Guadalupe rivers. Common advantages among these venues include some flowing water, abundant fish and public access. Drought conditions make location a factor, particularly on the Blanco River.
As for the teachers, look no further than Kevin Stubbs and Bruce Young.
Stubbs, who operates Expedition Outfitters, has been guiding on area rivers for more than two decades, and Young, a 15-year staffer at Tackle Box Outfitters on North New Braunfels Ave., has been fishing for as long as he can remember — and fly fishing since his teens.
Stubbs knows the three river venues on the classroom list.
The San Marcos River is accessible and reliable, as it springs from the ground in San Marcos (30 miles up Interstate 35) and flows 75 miles southeast to its confluence with the Guadalupe River near Gonzales.
The Blanco River is a really pleasant and peaceful place, but with low flows, the most dependable water for anglers looking to learn or hone skills is at the state park in Blanco (north on U.S. Highway 281 about 40 miles).
The nearby Guadalupe River retains its constant level status on a chain of lakes below Canyon Dam. Those lakes with easy access include Dunlap (400 acres, New Braunfels) and Placid (200 acres, Seguin).
Stubbs' choice of Dunlap for the day's lesson was obvious: Easy access and constant-level water stocked with bass, catfish and striped bass, and chock full of eager sunfish.
By the time morning school bells were ringing, Stubbs was rowing upstream against the Guadalupe's soft current, out from the ramp under the I-35 bridge and toward the dam near the Faust Street bridge. The water was clear and green, and Stubbs was looking for prospects lurking in the shadows behind the cypress knees and deadfalls.
Young was not sitting idle. He was prepping gear, including a vintage Phillips on fiberglass 6-weight rod and a circa 1964 4-weight Shakespeare. Classic old-school tackle.
"Either rod could handle most of the fish we were looking for (at Dunlap)," he said this week at the Tackle Box. The calm water made his choice of presentations easy. "Put (the fly) as near to cover as possible. If there were more current, we would fish outside the current. The fish would be near the current, but not in it."
As it was, the only movements on Dunlap this day were an occasional breeze that nudged Stubbs' 14 Outcast inflatable pontoon boat. In the front seat, Young's roll casts and deft sidearm skills placed tiny poopers near bulkheads and into extremely tight places. He passed repeated tests of his casting skills.
The results were consistent, if not spectacular. Lots of hand-sized panfish with an occasional look-and-follow from largemouth bass that remained reluctant to leave heavy cover.
The day's lesson ended before noon, and we were at the ramp before the heat set in.
It's always good when the school day ends early and the teachers are pleased.

No official diagnosis has been or will be made on Aaron Rodgers until the Green Bay Packers quarterback undergoes further testing on Tuesday.
But if Rodgers misses even one game with a shoulder injury, the Packers must add another quarterback to their roster in time for this upcoming Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Packers simply cannot go into their Week 10 match-up with no backup plan to Seneca Wallace.
Perhaps the most obvious option would be to promote Scott Tolzien from the practice squad, although acquiring Matt Flynn is not out of the question.
Just last week, the Packers gave Tolzien a raise after receiving overtures from another NFL team. Even though he remains on the practice squad, Tolzien is being paid like he's on the 53-man roster.
Whoever the Packers add, they would have to make room by cutting a player or placing one on injured reserve. And if there's even the remotest of chance Aaron Rodgers will return before the end of the season, the Packers aren't about to place the face of their franchise on I.R.
Further complicating matters is the decision the Packers must make on offensive lineman Derek Sherrod, who's currently on the Physically Unable to Perform list, but whose three-week window of practice ends on Tuesday.
Sherrod must either be activated, placed on injured reserve or released by Tuesday, leaving the Packers with only a little over 24 hours to make such a decision.
Before Rodgers' injury, it appeared as if there was a clear path for Sherrod to be activated to the 53-man roster by placing tight end Jermichael Finley on season-ending injured reserve with a serious neck injury.
There has been no official determination on Finley's injury either, but the Packers are running out of time. Either he can play or he can't, but it seems unlikely the Packers are going to take any chances when a player's quality of life could be in jeopardy.
If the Packers are dead set on promoting Scott Tolzien from the practice squad, there's no urgency to make a roster move. He can take part in practice all week long.
The Packers, however, would have to make a roster move by Saturday to make room for Tolzien.

"We came into the meet a little tired after the weather threw us a curveball during the week, which affected our training," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve Gardiner. "In spite of that, we had some very good performances. Our throwers did well, Brittany Cole made the finals in three events and Jessica Masse made the finals in two in a meet with a lot of Division I participants. It was good to see Joe Texeira finish first against Division I competition. We're heading into the home stretch of our schedule, with one more meet next week before we go to conference."
The Corsairs will return to action when they travel to Connecticut College next Saturday.

So, the Yavin wave is not to happen this year. I can accept it if it gets bumped to '07, however, I wonder now how Hasbro is to fill the next six months with just two waves? Perhaps the DVD announcement derailed their plans and a new line will be launched for years end. OTC2 anyone?
Plus, wasnt the Fan's Choice suppose to come out this year?
What Fan's Choice? The one we just voted on, whose results haven't even been announced yet? There's not enough lead time to get it out this year.

WASHINGTON — The gay rights movement won at least a preliminary victory Monday as the Senate voted to advance a measure that would ban workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
The 61-30 procedural vote does not necessarily predict the final outcome, expected later this week. But statements of support from Republicans ensured that the bill known as the Employment Non-Discrimination Act could attract the necessary 60 votes to overcome any additional procedural hurdles.
"This is a momentous day," Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) said as floor debate began. A nation that has stood behind the belief that people should be judged on their individual worth, not the color of their skin, race or religion, he said, should also bar discrimination based on "who you love."
Even if the Senate passes the legislation, however, it faces uncertain prospects in the Republican-led House. A spokesman for House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) reiterated Monday that the measure would open small businesses to "frivolous litigation" and hurt the economy.
Congress hasn't passed major gay rights legislation since 2010, when it voted to end the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that barred gays from openly serving in the military. But progress in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights has come elsewhere.
Last summer, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act and cleared the way for gay marriages in California. Same-sex marriage is legal now in 14 states and the District of Columbia.
The Senate bill would prohibit public and private employers, employment agencies and labor unions from using sexual orientation or gender identity as the basis for decisions about employment, promotion or compensation. Federal law extends such protections based on race, religion, gender, national origin, age or disability. Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia also protect sexual orientation; fewer do so for gender identity.
That "patchwork of state laws excludes tens of millions of Americans from basic protections against discrimination," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said. "It simply is not good enough."
A similar bill failed in the Senate in 1996 and had not been taken up on the floor since. In 2007, the then-Democratic-controlled House passed a version that did not include transgender individuals, but the Senate did not take it up.
"I'm dismayed that so many years have gone by, more than a decade, and this bill still has not become law," said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a cosponsor.
Democrats secured the backing of everyone in the party's 55-member caucus last week when Sens. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) and Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) announced their support. Newly sworn-in Democrat Cory Booker of New Jersey said this would be the first bill he cosponsored. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) became the fifth Republican senator to publicly support the bill Monday, calling it "the right thing to do."
Seven Republicans ultimately voted with 54 Democrats to advance the measure. Two other backers — Republican Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Democrat Claire McCaskill of Missouri — were en route to Washington and missed the vote.
Even as the voting continued on the floor, additional Republican support was secured with intense negotiations in the Senate cloakroom. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), the bill's chief sponsor, said he would support an amendment sought by Sens. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) and Rob Portman (R-Ohio) that would, among other changes, effectively exempt certain faith-based organizations from the bill, calling it a "reasonable adjustment."
Sen. Mark Steven Kirk (R-Ill.), who had not delivered a speech on the Senate floor since suffering a major stroke in January 2012, did so Monday in support of the measure. He said it was "particularly appropriate for an Illinois Republican to speak on behalf of this measure," in the tradition of former Sen. Everett Dirksen and Abraham Lincoln, "men who gave us the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 13th Amendment to the Constitution."
Amid predictions that the measure would die in the House, supporters said they would marshal public pressure to force action. A spokesman for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) said "all options will be on the table in order to advance this critical legislation in the House."
"The speaker, of all people, should certainly know what it's like to go to work every day afraid of being fired," Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin said in a statement. "Instead of letting the far right trample him again, it's time for Speaker Boehner to stand with the majority of everyday Republican voters and support" the bill.
President Obama, who called for equal treatment of gays and lesbians in his inaugural address in January, reaffirmed his support Sunday and noted that a majority of Fortune 500 companies already have nondiscrimination policies for LGBT employees.
"Millions of LGBT Americans go to work every day fearing that, without any warning, they could lose their jobs — not because of anything they've done, but simply because of who they are," he wrote for the Huffington Post. "It's offensive. It's wrong. And it needs to stop, because in the United States of America, who you are and who you love should never be a fireable offense."

EXCERPT ONE: Worth the Risk by Anne Lange
She tried to pull out of his grasp. He held steadfast, closing the distance until his chest grazed hers. He pinned her to the tree.
"Please. Let me go."
"I want answers."
"I can't—"
Standing this close to her, for the first time in years, her heart beating a rapid flutter against his chest did wild things to his body. His heartbeat sped up, sweat popped out on his forehead, and his cock hardened to steel. He dropped his gaze to her mouth. Her lush lips parted, warm breaths blew out in little spurts, fluttering against his neckline. He knew he shouldn't rush this, but no way could he stop.
"I want the truth. I suppose I can wait a little longer if you're not ready. But I do have something I need to give you." He hesitated, questioning his intention. Screw it. "I'm sorry, but I can't resist, and you're too desirable."
He bent his head low, paused, and pressed his lips to hers. It should have been gentle, but it wasn't. Unless she pushed him away, or told him no, the need to kiss her was vital, her taste essential. She stilled. He tensed, expecting her to do just that when she raised her arms and placed her palms against his chest. He held his breath, his body trembling while he waited. A heavy sigh escaped her mouth, and she curled the tips of her fingers into his shirt. With a soft whimper, she lured him closer, leaning into his body, taking his kiss.
A flood of emotions strangled him—anger, relief, basic sexual need. Pressing his highly aroused body solidly against hers, he flattened his palms against the tree on either side of her head. A moan rose from his chest. He swept his tongue inside her mouth, dueling with hers. He touched the soft insides of her cheeks and the smooth surface of her teeth, absorbing her unique essence, which was even better than he remembered. He drew back to lick along her bottom lip, placing small kisses at the corners, and then dove back in for more, angling for a closer connection. A sense of urgency began to build. God, he'd missed this.
QUESTION ONE: What does he flatten his palms against?

He pulled her body in tight to his, and it was exactly what she wanted. Oh yes, exactly. His body was solid all over, the hard ridge of his erection pressing into her stomach. Jesus, she'd never felt a wall of muscle like this man. And he held her so damn tight she could barely breathe.
He buried a hand in her hair and yanked back once more, his mouth on her throat demanding compliance. And she gave it, gave in to him. She couldn't help herself.
She gave. Let it all fall away, until there was nothing but her and him and sensation. She gave it all up for the first time in her life. And forgot for the moment to be scared of anything.
Her mind was emptying. She felt too good to care. To question that she didn't.
Finn's arms were crushingly tight around her, and there was a safeness about his grip on her that was something like being bound in the chains around her waist.
Crazier still when his mouth hovered over hers.
"We didn't fucking negotiate kissing." His voice was rough, edgy.
"You're saying no?"
"I'm saying yes."
He paused.
"Finn…kiss me, God damn it!"
"Christ, girl," he muttered before crushing her mouth with his.
Oh, it was good. His lips were hard and soft at the same time, his big hands wrapping her up in their grasp. She opened for his tongue and it slipped into her mouth like silk. She sucked it in, released it so he could explore. And Lord, the man could kiss. If she hadn't been wet before, she was soaked now. Needing.
She pulled against the cuffs, wanting to press closer, but his hard body was already tight against hers, and she could feel his erection straining.
Yes, please…
She was going to fucking beg him for it.
He pulled back so suddenly she would have fallen had she not been chained up.
"God bloody damn it, girl." He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
"What? I…Finn?"
"No. You're fine. You're fucking amazing, is what you are. I just need to…get back on track. Take a breath. Both of us." He ran a hand over his spiky hair while she tried to adjust to what had just happened. He was pleased with her—he'd said so. But he was obviously trying to get things under control again.
She didn't want him to.
QUESTION TWO: What didn't they negotiate?
EXCERPT THREE: Rhythm Of My Heart(the third book in the Speed series) by Jess Dee

Her eyes twinkled and she popped the chocolate between her lips.
She didn't chew it. Not immediately. Rather she left it in her mouth. To melt?
Zachary had no idea. All he knew was now that the candy was in her mouth, he couldn't avert his gaze.
Again he stared at her, bewitched.
Her eyes closed and she let out a soft moan of pleasure.
Eve's "Mmmmm" reverberated down his spine and echoed in his groin.
How the fuck could eating chocolate turn into the most erotic encounter on earth? Eve made it look like she was lost in the throes of spectacular sex. The woman had a chocolate in her mouth, that was all. Yet the bliss on her face and satisfaction in her soft moan had Zachary hardening to the point of pain.
Christ, he hoped no one noticed.
She chewed, her red lips a beacon to his gaze.
He wanted to kiss her, wanted to mold his mouth to hers and taste the pleasure on her breath.
Yeah. Not going to happen. Not here, in a room packed full of curious eyes and cameras.
"If you carry on chewing like that—" Zachary's voice was a low growl, "—like you're about to have an orgasm, Iam going to throw you under the table and eat every last bit of you."
Eve's eyes popped open, and she swallowed quickly. "You know it would be way simpler if you just ate the truffle?"
"Maybe. But it wouldn't taste half as good."
"You know what you are, Jonah Speed?"
Aroused? Frustrated? Horny? "What am I, Eve Andrews?"
"A first-rate, grade-A flirt." She lifted a second truffle to her mouth and licked it. Those cherry-red lips of hers framed the milk chocolate, and her tongue was just visible, dabbing at the treat.
The roomful of curious eyes and cameras faded to insignificance. Sound faded too. The chocolate and Eve's lips were his sole focus. His sole desire.
With one hand, he plucked the saucer from her hand and set it on the table. With the other he plucked her hand from her mouth and tossed the half-eaten chocolate over his shoulder.
Before she had a chance to object—and by the look in her eyes she intended to object, vehemently—he yanked her against him, bent his head and kissed her.
Just claimed her mouth with his, taking advantage of her surprised gasp to slip his tongue between those cherry-red lips and sample the chocolate she'd just licked.
Jesus, fuck. She was right. The chocolate wasn't just good. It was delectable. Mouthwatering. It blew his mind. And he hated chocolate.
Eve sagged in his arms, as though she'd turned boneless. He hauled her closer, molding her to his body, squashing the rose between them. Her soft curves pressed tight against his firmer bulk. She clutched at him with one hand, grabbing his arm, squeezing it, then slowly letting her hand skim up over his shoulder until she buried it in his hair.
Her tongue drifted over his, toyed with it. Tasted him like he tasted her. And damned if it wasn't the sweetest, hottest kiss Zachary had ever shared.
He kissed her harder, lost himself to the creamy, rich flavor of Eve and chocolate.
The chocolate had nothing on the woman. Couldn't compete with her.
Lights flared against his eyes. Once, twice, a million times. Fireworks? From a kiss? That was a first. Not surprising though, not with the way his body reacted to the kiss, but a first.
Sanity returned like a sharp slap.
Those bursts of light weren't fireworks at all. Not even close. They were flashes. Camera flashes. Tons of them.
QUESTION THREE: What kind of flirt is Jonah?

I toss his clothes into the back and watch him dress. He's amazing. His chest, his hands, his hips, everything about him. But most of all, his eyes. I love looking into his eyes, because he's always on alert with me. It's something I've noticed around him. When we're just hanging out, there's a natural sadness, although it's almost a numb sadness, that glazes over his eyes. Yet every time we make eye contact, they blaze to life, as if he's breathing after being underwater for ages.
"What?" he asks. His pants are still around his knees, because he can't seem to pull them on without getting out of the car.
"I was just thinking about how sexy you are."
"No," he says. "Serious face."
His serious face is adorable. I didn't think there was any way Jack could be adorable, but the face he makes… it's like a little kid mimicking an adult, but it just looks absurd. And so cute I want to kiss him.
"Stop it. Even your serious face makes me want to kiss you."
"Kissing is okay. But you stay there," he says.
He leans through the seats and takes my face in his hands, bringing his lips to mine. The kiss is sweet. After the steamy, sweaty, intense sex we just had, it's amazing that he can kiss me with such purity. He doesn't even use his tongue. He just lets his lips open slightly, taking my bottom lip between his, and he flutters against my mouth. It's the most sensual thing he's done – and it's completely innocent. I don't know if I've truly felt how much he loves me until this kiss. It's trusting, and he's asking me to take control of it.
I sigh into the kiss and his hands brush up my cheeks and through my hair. My thoughts earlier, about Derek, about worrying if I would feel the same in a year, they seem foolish right now. How could I ever feel anything but this? How could there ever be anything but this?
QUESTION FOUR: What does she think of Jack's serious face?
EXCERPT FIVE: Captured Innocenceby Kennedy Layne

Lauren knew what he was going to do before his hands ever cupped her face, but for the life of her, she couldn't speak or move. No protestations fell from her lips. Maybe somewhere deep down she wanted this to happen to prove that there was no chemistry between them. If he kissed her and felt nothing, at least he would leave her alone to rest in peace and suffer in silence.
Connor's warm lips covered hers and all thought fled. Her mind shut down. Her pain receded. His hands tilted her head, giving him more access. Lauren felt his tongue glide across her lower lip, as if asking her to part them and let him inside. She granted his request and a burst of coffee and mint exploded onto her tongue. He playfully dueled before seriously exploring and caressing her mouth. The kiss was unlike any other. He slowly pulled away and she wanted to whimper.
QUESTION FIVE: What do Lauren's thoughts do?
