So I graduated school today. 15 1/2 month program culminated this afternoon. There were times when I wanted to pull out my hair, but I made the right decision. Out of less than 30 people - yes, less than 30 people - they chose me to give the valedictory speech, which I totally bombed. I didn't bother to even put together an outline for one. I was really nervous the whole day, and leading up to being introduced, my mind went blank. I guess not bad for a kid that went to NYC public schools; spent 5 years in one...

<p>LONDON (AP) — A princess is born.</p> <p>Prince William's wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, "was safely delivered of a daughter" Saturday morning, less than three hours after checking into St. Mary's Hospital in London, royal officials said.</p> <p>The newborn's name wasn't immediately announced. When her brother, Prince George, was born in 2013, royal officials waited two days before announcing his name.</p>

My wife is about 2 weeks away from giving birth. The hospital contacted her today and told her that they would not release the baby until we have given them a pediatrician's name. I don't know if this is policy or law in Arizona. I have started making calls, but am not getting anywhere yet. Anyone heard of this? I have other children and was never told anything like this. It ticks me off because I see it as a threat and a loss of control of my child. I can try another hospital, but I don't know yet if...
