After more than a decade, university administration finally made the momentous decision to establish domestic partnership benefits for Eastern employees.
What this means for faculty and staff members is that if their living partners are over 18 years old, not a relative, not employed by the homeowner and ineligible for Medicare, then they will receive extended benefits through the university.

Five years ago, I was a young U.S. Marine stationed in New Orleans, La. As a Marine, I was trained to respond to any situation with speed, intensity and a level head; but when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, I had no idea how to respond. Generally, any New Orleans resident can tell you that hurricane evacuations happen just about every week during the summer, so by late August 2005, we all left the city of New Orleans thinking this was another false alarm and that we would be back in a day or two.

I began to develop favorites in music at a very early age, and being surrounded by a family full of musicians never hindered that process. My mother was and still is an avid Stevie Nicks follower, and my dad, although one of U2's biggest fans, always loved to play bluegrass and country on his old acoustic.

"Jesus this, Moses that, Abraham hit me with a wiffle ball bat."
That line is from "Little Nicky," an Adam Sandler flick from 2000. It's a crap movie, but it's a quote that reflects my indifference towards religion.

I don't condone their actions, nor do I plan to admonish the masses who don't agree with me. My convictions are solely my own.
I don't believe in tolerance, or even acceptance. What I do believe in is respect.

Security. This word means different things to different people. For the mother of a family who serves as the primary caregiver, financial security is a luxury, but a luxury that most would prefer. Many people look down upon those who consider physical appearance and monetary success important aspects in a life partner, calling them shallow and superficial.

People these days get paid for all sorts of things: playing sports, singing songs, dancing behind someone else, doing contortions, etc. All of these things center around one essential tool: the human body. I'm an actor, so my teachers and mentors have told me for years that my body is my instrument.
