The discounted registration fee for the CLE program is $75 for ISBA members and $150 for non ISBA members.
CLE presentation: 3-6 p.m. (3 hrs. CLE)
Where: Bankers Life Fieldhouse, 25 S. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis, IN 46204
In less than 10 months, all large employers must offer medical coverage to all full-time employees or pay a penalty. Which employers are large employers? Which employees are full-time employees? What are the penalties? How can employers manage these new risks? Will employers drop medical coverage? Will employees flee to an exchange for coverage? What are the Indiana Department of Insurance and the Indiana legislature doing to implement health care reform in Indiana?
Ann Carr Mackey, Shareholder, Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C.
What is the employer mandate? What must employers do and when?
This session will address the following questions: How do I determine whether I am a large employer? What must large employers do to avoid the penalties? What are the penalties?
Michael G. Paton, Partner, Barnes & Thornburg
Which employees must be offered medical coverage?
Recent guidance from the IRS details how employers will determine who their full time employees are and how to calculate penalties under the Internal Revenue Code. This presentation will focus on determining the status of employees as full-time employees, special rules for variable hour employees and seasonal employees, and developing strategies for minimizing penalties, and related compliance issues.
Logan Patrick Harrison, Chief Deputy Commissioner for Health, Legislative & Public Affairs for the Indiana Department of Insurance
Information & thoughts from inside
This session will include a discussion of Indiana's role in the federally facilitated Exchange that will operate in Indiana, pending state legislation, Indiana and Medicaid expansion, the impact of community rating on small employer coverage, and the definition of essential health benefits in Indiana.
Catherine (Katy) Stowers, Advisor and General Counsel of FirstPerson Advisors
The impact of public exchanges, tax credits and cost-sharing subsidies on employer-sponsored health plans
This session will explore currently available information regarding the health coverage options that are expected through Indiana's Exchange – now called the Health Benefit Marketplace – and the impact of this new Exchange on employer-provided coverage and employee choices, including the federal financial assistance programs – the premium tax credits and cost-sharing subsidies that will be available for some to purchase coverage on the Exchange.
Deborah C. McNear, Partner, Krieg DeVault
What if I reduce my employees to part-time status to avoid the mandate?
This session will look at whether an employer changing its part-time employee policy to escape penalties under Health Care Reform may be an illegal interference with the employees' right to benefits, and if so, the ramifications of such a finding.
Michael G. Paton, Partner, Barnes & Thornburg - Wellness
Wellness Program Update
Employer-based wellness programs continue to gain in popularity. The IRS recently issued proposed regulations that modify the requirements for wellness programs. In addition, the EEOC and courts have weighed in on the propriety of certain aspects of wellness programs. This session will discuss these recent developments and how they may affect employer-based wellness programs in the future.

Stardock Reveals Impulse Reactor for DevelopersAt last year's GDC, publisher and developer Stardock revealed GOO, or Game Object Obfuscation, which would allow gamers to resell digital game in addition to functioning as DRM. In 2009, Stardock revealed Impulse::Reactor, a toolset similar to Valve's Steamworks, for PC games, which was shown off at GDC 2010.
Impulse::Reactor uses GOO as DRM, but requires no client to operate. Games utilizing Reactor wouldn't even need to be bundled with Impulse, Stardock's digital distribution platform. Furthermore, these games could be sold at retail or even on other digital distribution platforms like Steam, Direct2Drive, etc.
The tools are free to use and the only requirement is that any game utilizing the framework also be sold on Stardock's Impulse service, though not exclusively. This is in contrast to Valve's Steam exclusivity requirement to use Steamworks for features and DRM. (Update: Games that use Steamworks can be sold through any outlet, though they require a mandatory Steam installation. Steamworks features can also be used alongside other services, such as Games for Windows Live, as seen in Dawn of War II.)
That's great, but what does Impulse::Reactor get you? Well, how about GOO for DRM, friends lists, Facebook and Twitter integration, in-game DLC, achievements, chat, matchmaking, rankings and ladders, server lists, and cloud storage for game saves.
Finally, the overlays for these features can be skinned by the developer to match the look of the game. It remains to be seen if developers will flock to this framework for features and DRM. On the other side of the coin, Valve and Epic just announced a partnership to include Steamworks in Unreal Engine 3, which would make it easier for developers to use Steamworks in UE3 games.
More information on Impulse::Reactor can be found on Stardock CEO Brad Wardell's blog.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- A Connecticut woman disfigured in a chimpanzee attack has been denied permission to sue the state.
Charla Nash's family sought permission to sue Connecticut for $150 million but was denied Friday by state Claims Commissioner J. Paul Vance Jr. The state is immune from lawsuits unless they're allowed by the commissioner.
Nash was blinded, lost both hands and underwent a face transplant after being mauled in Stamford in 2009.
Nash reached a $4 million settlement last year with the estate of chimp owner Sandra Herold, who died in 2010.
Nash's lawyer said the state should be held responsible for not seizing the animal before the attack, because it was warned the animal was dangerous. State Attorney General George Jepsen said the state shouldn't be held liable for the mauling.

Lebanon: a veteran regional center for Islamic finance
The country has seen rapid and positive expansion of the Islamic banking sector. However, political unrest may reduce the flow of foreign investment and could affect the expansion of Islamic banking. Dr. Hatim El-Tahir shares his insight into the development of Islamic finance in the country.
In recent years, Lebanon has increasingly focused on efforts to promote Islamic finance. The government, represented by Banque du Liban (BDL), the central bank of Lebanon, has introduced several regulatory and practice-related policies including Law No.575 of 2004, which regulates the industry.
In September this year, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reported that Lebanon's real GDP growth for 2011 will remain low at 1.5%. Inflation is estimated at 5.9%, which remains in line with inflation rates in the MENA region. It should be noted that economic growth has remained positive despite the regional unrest and Lebanon's domestic political issues.
The country's competitive edge as a leading business and tourism hub rests mainly on its banking sector. This has been further enhanced by the introduction of Islamic banking services. The country hosts four fullyfledged Islamic banks: the Arab Finance House, Al Baraka Bank Lebanon, Lebanese Islamic Bank and Blom Development. BDL does not allow conventional banks to offer Islamic windows. The country's consistent efforts to introduce a sound and prudential regulatory environment, coupled with the introduction of internationally-accepted best practices, will boost the flow of investments into the country.
Over the past year, the service-based economy enjoyed growth in almost all sectors and industries. The services sector, which accounts for two thirds of the country's GDP, led the growth engine. This growth was driven by three main sectors: trade, tourism and banking. Other sectors that contributed to growth were agriculture, education and health services. In effect, the growth was largely driven by the private sector.
The government's management of the economy can perhaps best be measured by the level of success in meeting targets set by the IMF's Emergency Post- Conflict Assistance program. Key to these was the overarching goal to reduce the debt-to-GDP ratio, which was successfully cut to about 130% in 2011 from 150% in 2009. Each year, about 10% of the annual GDP - currently estimated at USD 40 billion - goes to service the country's debts.
In September, 2011, the total assets of the banking sector reached USD154 billion: an increase of 7% from the same period last year, when they totaled USD143.8 billion. In contrast, the capitalization of the Beirut Stock Exchange recorded a slight drop to USD12.8 billion in April 2011, according to BDL.
Islamic banking
In general Islamic banking grew steadily over the past year, with more bank branches opening across the country and an increase in the customer base, which expanded to include small and medium-sized enterprises in several sectors of the economy. This trend is likely to continue in the years to come.
The outlook for Islamic banking is optimistic and Islamic banks operating in Lebanon will likely take the lead in financing service sectors and investment projects. Projections for GDP growth, estimated at 4% for 2012, boost confidence in the economy and the banking sector in particular. Government support for Islamic banking is paramount and will give more assurance to potential investors in this important emerging sector. One area of industry growth potential lies in leveraging the country's reputation as a fiduciary service center and developing Shariah-compliant asset and wealth management services.
However, this growth cannot take place without challenges and, needless to say, will hinge on domestic and regional political stability. Lebanon offers a viable investment growth opportunity for bigger Islamic banks with bigger balance sheets to invest. In its favor, the country offers an abundance of professional talent and reasonable operational costs. This is crucial for a competitive and efficient Islamic financial sector.
The current regulation of Islamic banks stipulates that: "Investments and placements in Lebanon must account [for] at least 50% of assets and rights included in the balance sheet items in each Islamic bank." This guidance will ensure that Islamic banks operating in Lebanon will continue to invest and finance local industries and play an important role in economic growth.
Restriction on Islamic windows
Nevertheless, the restriction on conventional banks preventing them from offering Islamic windows poses challenges and may impede the growth of Shariahcomplaint banking services in the country. This means that licensed Islamic banks will have to expand efficiently to accommodate the rising demand for Islamic financing. Similar regulatory changes have been made in Qatar, which also restricted conventional banks from operating Islamic windows, effective 2012.
The broader global economic and political unrest may reduce the flow of foreign investment in the country and delay the Gulf-led initiatives for Islamic banking expansion into Lebanon. However, the government should continue its support of this emerging sector in the country and nurture its growth. Regulatory reforms should provide a level playing field for Islamic banks. Issues such as double taxation, Zakat, land registry, tax incentives for foreign investors in the sector and the establishment of leading practices in arbitration and business disputes, to name just a few, should be tackled.

(KCEN) - There was a sea of pink at Heritage Park Saturday morning in Waco.
Susan G. Komen's Race for the Cure brought out thousands to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research.
For the runners, their race takes maybe a couple of hours, but for the ladies in pink, the race never ends.
Shirley Gilliland is a 36 year cancer survivor. Out of the 100 survivor's at Saturday's race she has been battling cancer the longest. "I'm alive and well today, and very happy for it,' says Gilliland.
There may not be a cure for cancer, but Gilliland may have her own secret. She says, "I think the running has kept me going all these years."
Close to 2,000 people wore pink to help raise around $70,000 for breast cancer research. Their stories reminds us just how many people are affected by this deadly disease.
Race for the Cure wants to thank Shana Singletary and Jennifer Lopez for their generous donations for cancer research.

Concerns About Unleashed Dogs
How should we as a community respond?

I agree with her general argument, but the constant vitriol, sarcasm, and snark with which she wrote was just over the top. It's a shame she didn't consider creating a dialogue, rather than attacking all dogs/dog owners.
Submitted by Anonymous | July 7 2011 | Permalink
This is exactly the type of article that needed to be written in order to ignite the public to begin discussing this issue. A less "sarcastic" article with a less aggressive edge would not have grabbed the public attention, and we would not be commenting on it.
Submitted by Kat | July 5 2011 | Permalink
I read the article and all I can say is Wow, she really didn't want to find common ground or acknowledge that there are responsible dog owners out there. I really dislike the unruly unleashed scary dogs we occasionally meet where I live. I hated the aggressive German Shepherd Dog on the next street over. Sorry folks, a gate across your driveway with no fence attached doesn't do anything to contain your dog. That's why I reported him to animal control several times. Fortunately my dog is pretty bomb proof but that doesn't mean your unleashed pup gets to run at him when we're out for our walk. In short, I completely sympathize with Keeping's aggravation. I just don't think her inflammatory diatribe does anything at all to advance the tone of the discussion. Education of dog owners and fostering a culture of mutual respect is what I want to see.

Do you think she might hate dogs just a little? It's a bad article bringing up a good point. Keep your dog on a leash.
Submitted by Bailey's "mom" | July 5 2011 | Permalink
I live in a town where the leash laws are enforced to a tune of $300.00 if you do not have your dog leashed. We also have at least 6 off leash dog parks which are heavily used...a pretty big number for a town of 70,000.
As the keeper of a dog my thoughts are that dogs should be leashed in public areas where there are other dogs and children. I keep my dog on a leash at all times when in town and on most hikes in national forest. I do this for her protection. A leash is the best and cheapest pet health insurance you can buy. Even the best trained dog, when confronted in a way that puts them at harm will respond in unexpected ways....they simply want to protect themselves and/or their family.
As for the author...she obviously has a great fear of dogs and is simply trying to protect herself and her family.

Keepings article was full of anger. I'm guessing she doesn't like dogs, period. While I agreed with her I was also offended by her tone. I especially disliked yet another attack on pitbulls. St. Johns article was very well said. I have two reactive dogs on leash (and yes, one is pitbull). They also have high prey drives so there is no such thing as off leash for them. I've lost count as to the number of times I have heard an owner call out "she's friendly" as their out of control dog runs at mine meanwhile my dog is obviously ready to kill their pet. Are they stupid? Do they really need to be told that my dog is not friendly? Unless your dog walks right next to you, never strays away and responds to it's name immediately it doesn't belong off leash. In an off leash zone if you have to call Fido 20 times before he returns to you, you've got more work to do and he doesn't belong off leash. Bad owners are continuing to give dogs and responsible dog owners a bad and undeserved reputation. Get a clue people.
Submitted by Liz | July 6 2011 | Permalink
I find it inflammatory and one-sided. As the owner of a reactive dog, I LOATHE off-leash dogs. They are the bane of my existence. However, unlike Ms. Keeping, I hate ALL off-leash dogs, not just the big ones. She neglected to mention all the little dogs that people let off leash because "they can't do any harm." Or "they're cute and everybody likes them." Newflash - NO dog should be off-leash unless it is highly trained AND under voice command AND sticking to its owner side, not approaching other people and dogs.

As someone who lives (with a phobic dog)in an area where many people ignore leash laws, I can understand the main point of this article as well as the cause for the emotion behind it. I have felt that many times as a dog is charging down at us and mine begins to freak out. There are areas where I avoid walking because the risk of encountering one of these situations is too high. On one notable occasion, a dog raced accross a busy intersection and proceeded to leap at myself and my dog (I placed my body between them, well back on someone's lawn), while the owners walked slowly towards us (two teenagers). By way of appology, they shrugged and said 'he never listens'. The dog in that instance was playful, but could easilly have been killed by one of the cars driving by, and my dog was left shaken from the encounter. I understand how these issues can make someone upset enough to use the language found in this article. However, as someone who works in a public education field, this article made me cringe. The word choices throughout, the aggressive voice, and scattered layout did nothing to promote the message. Rather, they immediately polarize readers and incite further emotional reaction. Memorable? Sure. Effective? No way. When she did veer into citing specific cases, they were few and old. I'm sure more recent events exist, and I'm sure that, working in a paper, she should easily be able to find a few examples and at least cite the source (and, as an aside, the incident involving the judge does not serve to illustrate the off-leash arguement; rather, it brings up a new one, of unsolicited attention on leashed dogs. If the dog was under control of the leash, and he was bitten on the hand, all I can assume is that he reached for the dog - I have no way to know if it was in accordance with or against the wishes of the owner). If the author truely wants to see change, there are far better ways to go about it. From her own writing, the first thing I would look at would be getting involved with local government, even in a small way, to reinstate some form of Animal Control professional. In the same vein, she could speak up to make elected officials aware of the issue. Perhaps using her public voice to call all people concerned to an open forum, whether within her immediate neighborhood, or city wide. This is a huge topic that needs to be addressed in nearly all communities nationwide. She is fortunate to be in a position to have her words heard by many. It is disappointing that those were the words she chose.

I have two perspectives, my former one (as an unknowing, uneducated, unaware first time dog owner) and my present one (six years later.)
In my first few years with my dogs, I was one of the offenders: I had no knowledge of dogs other than the Sheltie owned by my sister, which had been extensively trained by the breeder before she purchased her and would barely move without being told to do so. I read some books, some articles on the Internet and in dog magazines, but I violated a lot of the laws (the real ones and the unwritten ones) regarding responsible pet ownership. In particular, I regularly let my dogs run off the leash in the parks where I walked them.
Now, six years later, I rarely let my dogs off the leash. I have had too many encounters with the small dog owners who live in my neighbourhood, many of whom appear to believe that because their Papillon/Maltese/Shih Tzu/Miniature Poodle/Miniature Whatever dog is small, it can do no harm and therefore should be allowed to behave aggressively, and bark/snarl/charge at my two larger dogs.
Like the author, I have heard "Don't worry, he/she is friendly", or "Don't worry, he/she is just playing" so many times, as a miniature Tasmanian Devil, practically frothing at the mouth with aggression and hostility approaches my dogs, who by this point only need to see an approaching small dog to become agitated. I feel frustrated at having to explain to seemingly intelligent people that it's not a good idea to allow their small dog to attack my large dog. And I dread the weekends, when many of the small dog owners in the neighbourhood for some reason feel free to indulge in leisurely off-leash walks with their pets in my on-leash only park.
I think the only answer is mandatory education classes for anyone purchasing/adopting a dog. Make it a bylaw, whatever is necessary.
By the way, I've come to the conclusion that the same type of classes should be required for new parents also. I think both classes could save a lot of grief and heartache in the future.

I personally believe that if you are in a city that requires dogs to be on leash, then you should have your dogs on leash. We have numerous dogs in my neighbourhood who are allowed to run off leash, and despite them being friendly and very well trained (ie able to answer their owners recall command) they do still cause problems! Firstly, my dog is trying to learn polite leash walking, and can become frustrated if held back on his leash away from other dogs. Dogs running far ahead of their owners frequently rush my dog and break his concentration on learning to walk nicely, and sometimes cause me to have to try and separate the dogs, as the sudden rushing can spook my own dog.
I also think about what could happen to those off leash dogs if they were ever to run up to someone morbidly afraid of dogs. They're very sweet puppies.. but every now and then i'm out in my front yard and i'm greeted by a playful jump.. paws up on my stomach and tail wagging madly. I love dogs so i greet this happily enough... making them get down.. and then treating them to eat scratches... but what if i were afraid of dogs? It wouldn't matter that the dog was perfectly friendly.. it still jumped up on me... what if i were scared enough to react violently towards the dog. Who would be in trouble then? Then person who left the dog off leash and allowed it to run onto another persons property.. or the person who hit a "friendly dog". I love all dogs and would be very upset if someone were to strike my dog.. however i do understand that not everyone is interested in his face licking bouncing demonstrations of love... and why should they have to put up with my dog on their property?.
I think dogs.. when out in public need to be kept with their owners... and if this means a leash.. then on a leash!
Subsequently.... i feel similarly about cats. Not that they should be walked on a leash.. anyone who has ever known a cat knows that walks aren't exactly their thing.. but i feel that cats should be kept OFF my property. When i bought my house i did not have a cat installed on my property... if i wanted a cat i'd go and adopt one.. but i don't.. i dont want someone pooping in my flower beds, teasing my dog, sprawling on my bbq. I dont want a cat of my own.. and i dont want your cat... so just as i ask that people keep their personal dogs on leashes and out of my space... i ask that people keep their cats IN their houses and off of my property. I love animals... and if i were to come to your house i'd probably want to snuggle your cat... but i feel that i should be allowed to decide what animals exist on my property. I don't want your cat.. and i already have my own dog.. so i dont want yours.
Moving on to one more pet peeve related to this topic. Children. Now.. i know that saying this will make me sound like the most ridiculously horrible person.. but i feel it still should be said. Children.. like dogs.. need to be kept track of. If they are not old enough to understand the concept of property and personal space.. they need to be maintained NEAR your person.. and not allowed to run loose. No i'm not suggesting people leash their children... but children, like dogs offer similar problems when it comes to me being out in a public space with my own dog. Recently while at an event in a local park... i was forced to literally RUN away with my dog when a spare toddler decided to bolt after me and my puppy in an attempt to pet him. My dog is not huge.. but not small either.. meaning that i cannot pick him up.. and it is difficult to hold him back when a hyperactive child is running towards him. My dog is excited... he wants to lick.. pounce upon and generally wrestle with the child... and i .. who am currently struggling to hold him back.. do not have a spare hand free to grab the child and hold HIM back, nor do i feel society will look kindly upon my dealing with the child much like i do a loose dog running towards me (the knee to chest method). In my frustration i occasioned several startled looks when i was forced to run away with my dog calling back to my boyfriend "WHO OWNS THAT CHILD AND WHY IS HE OFF LEASH?".. i later explained to my boyfriend that until i had a child of my own.. i was likely to treat all children like dogs.. as that is the only experience i have when it comes to raising small slightly ridiculous creatures.
To sum up. Leash laws. YES.. oh god yes. And also.. keep your cat inside your house and off my property, and keep your child with YOU. not running towards me with mad abandon and leaving me with the difficult decision of either kneeing your kid in the chest to keep him back.... or allowing my dog to knock him down and possibly nip him.

I find it very amusing how many Americans obsess over leash laws.
If you go to any large European city, you will see dogs walking off-leash, but they will usually be so well-socialized and under control that they cause almost no problems. They don't run into traffic either.
I've seen off-leash dogs in Munich and Paris, and no one says a word.
It's just the way things are. There isn't anarchy on the streets.
And dogs are allowed in restaurants, and no one comes down with dog zoonoses either.
A dog that spends its whole existence either in a fenced backyard or on a leash is not living a very good life. It's not getting the full social life that it evolved to experience. It is kind of like what happens to prisoners in maximum security prisons who are shackled as they are moved from cell to cell or from cell to recreation. They become barmy and socially retarded. I see this in a lot of American city dogs, and I knew one quite well as a child. It was a Dalmatian that had grown up in a suburban environment, but as soon as he was turned out on my family's farm, he didn't have a clue about anything. Horses were scary-- so much for that theory that Dalmatians inherited a love for equines-- and he feared things that the more socialized dogs never would have. Although these socialized dogs had lived in a rural setting most of their lives, they could be taken into towns and cities with no trouble. This led me to question much of what is generally believed about dog keeping.
Dogs need time to reconnect with there lupine heritage, no matter how modified they are from it. Most dogs still have a need to run in a safe area and meet other dogs on their own terms. I think we've robbed them from these experiences too much, and what we're left with is an animal that is merely existing. They adapt to the cage better than the tiger does, but it is still an adaptation, not an ideal situation.

Wow, what an angry woman!
I wonder how she feels about children running right up to my dogs when I am walking them on a leash. Not that my dogs are mean, they're not. But, this is startling to them and it's upsetting to me as a dog owner trying to do the right thing and worrying how my dogs are going to react when approached abruptly. :o)

I so agree with Retrieverman; just to give you another example of what he/she said about caged or leashed dogs through-out the dog's life, I live in Forrest hills NYC where all the dogs here are very angry and only no how to be so

Living in urban places its a constant fight for space between dogs/children/people etc:
-dog's offleash in public parks (which parents and people with on-leash dogs hate)
Its a difficult balance.
I personally don't use offleash parks because I have a reactive dog. However, I am in favour of creating green spaces for dog owner use as long as they are fenced and that dogs OUTSIDE the fenced area are leashed and this is strictly enforced. I think in this way they can help mitigate dogs running around offleash in public parks. However, a dog park was built near me and it has attracted many MORE offleash dogs as people flock to it but let there dogs run around the entire park offleash as well.
I just want greens pace where I can walk my leashed dog in peace!

I don't mind off leash dogs if they mind their owners and are not allowed to approach other people/dogs without permission. If an off leash dog stays away from me and the dogs I'm walking on leash, I have no problem. Unfortunately very few people feel the need to keep their dogs away from other leashed dogs because their dogs are "friendly." That excuse drives me crazy. Being friendly doesn't protect your dog from getting hit by a car as he crosses the street. And just because your friendly doesn't mean everyone wants your nose in their face.

I disagree with the author of this article as it pertains to the woman's reaction to a dog hurting her child ("I will end your dog"). I am a dog owner, I love my dog, but, if a dog hurts a child, they are gone. She is NOT overreacting. ANY attack on a child, especially by a dog on the aggressive dog breed list should absolutely mean the end of that dog. Now, the parent of the child is responsible for NEVER leaving a child alone with a dog. AND, the dog owner is responsible for keeping their dog leashed per the law, strictly monitoring the dog around children and ONLY allowing it with the parent's permission.
Now, getting back to the unleashed dog problem, it is HUGE! These people who say that stupid phrase, "Don't worry, my dog is friendly!" with complete lack of consideration as to how YOU feel about their dog approaching for ANY reason without your permission, is a complete moron who shouldn't even have a dog. I am so mad about this now, I lost it today at the dog park. I asked the guy to put his dog on a leash as he entered the parking lot. The idiot said, "I have control of my dog". I said, "I don't" (just trying to make up something to get him to do it), and he refused. I started to yell at him at the top of my voice, "You are an idiot! Get your stupid dog on a leash! Shut up! Get in your car, you loser, and get out of here! I am reporting you. I have your license number." I was so mad that, if I'd stayed there longer, I would have come up with more personal things to get back at him for making my experience so stressful, like "I'll bet your wife never wants to have sex with you because you are such a moron!"....lol. This is called dog park PTSD (I'm serious).

General George C. Marshall graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in 1901. He served a distinguished career in the United States Army. In 1939, he was appointed United States Army Chief of the General Staff. In 1947, he was appointed Secretary of State for the United States. General Marshall was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his development and implementation of the European Recovery Program and subsequently served for one year as the Secretary of Defense. General Marshall was both a graduate of and instructor at the Infantry and Cavalry School, as well as a graduate of the United States Army Command and General Staff College.
In 1915, General Dwight D. Eisenhower began a career of distinguished public service, reaching the highest positions of military and civil leadership in the United States. He excelled early in his career while serving under Generals Pershing, MacArthur and Krueger. After Pearl Harbor, he was invited to Washington, DC, for a special assignment by General Marshall. After many successes leading troops including serving as Supreme Commander of the troops invading France on D-Day, he became President of Columbia University. In 1951, he took leave from his position at the University to assume supreme command over the new NATO forces being assembled. It was during his tenure at this position that he was persuaded to enter as a candidate for the presidency in 1952. With a sweeping victory, he was elected the 34th President of the United States. He was an honor graduate from the United States Army Command and General Staff College.

The Celebrated Young Director Shares Stills from Her Latest Short on Sex and Death
French actress Judith Godrèche's Hitchcockian heroine faces an imminent tragic demise in these ominous scenes from Alex Prager's La Petite Mort, a surreal exploration of sexual ecstasy and mortality. "They say that orgasm is the one time in life you are closest to death because all your senses but one shut down. I really liked that poetic way of describing it," explains Los Angeles-based Prager, a self-taught photographer and director whose recent work includes a celebrity series for The New York Times and a fantastical short for Mercedes Benz starring Lara Stone. La Petite Mort is showing as part of Compulsion, Prager's latest exhibition that will run simultaneously at three galleries: New York's Yancey Richardson Gallery, M+B Los Angeles and Michael Hoppen Contemporary in London. Referring to the morbid impulse to treat tragedy as a spectator sport, the show interrogates the viewer's passive complicity with pictures that mix extreme close-ups of melodramatic eyes with cinematic tableaux reflecting media coverage of natural disasters and premeditated violence. Says Prager: "I did not want to draw from specific events, but it was a way for me to deal with the hopelessness I was feeling about the world. Creating a parallel universe where tragedies happen but with a sense of lightness as well."

So I was watching a new chick flick that I bought and realized my heart was pounding. When I counted, 136 beats per minute...I took my BP and it was 152/80.
Just wondering how often you would take your BP when you get an elevated reading? Every half hour? Every hour? I think when I was pg with Emma that if I got a BP elevation more than normal I was supposed to take it every 1/2 hour untill it came down...does that sound right to you ladies? Hopefully it was stress induced [:I] though I don't know what would have stressed me out. It was Runaway Bride which is a cute movie and Emma is napping so??? Anyway...LOL

Josh and I decided a long time ago that when we have children we will eat dinner at the table together every night. We have stayed true to our word. Mia is 22 months old and she would rather be playing than eating dinner. She doesn't like trying new things and for a while all we could get her to eat was chicken now she won't touch it unless it's in the form of a nugget. She loves spaghetti so she'll sit tight on spaghetti night, and as soon as she's done she yells, "I'm done! Down!" even if she's only had two bites.
Our Pediatrician says this is totally normal. He says she'll eat when she's hungry kids don't starve themselves. He suggested setting a timer the normal length of our dinnertime and once that timer goes off take the food away and don't give her anything else the rest of the night.
An article I read today disagrees with what our doctor is saying. The author suggests letting your child graze because 2 and 3 year olds are not developmentally ready for mealtimes like older children and adults. Kids should be allowed to just snack all day on healthy foods. She also suggests that strapping them into a high chair and not letting them get up is emotionally unhealthy for toddlers.
Something else she brought up is that your child may not be hungry for dinner at the same time as you so try giving her a meal earlier or later. Then while you eat your adult dinner sit her at the table with you with a bowl of her favorite fruit so she still gets the idea of together time.
Mia will sit at the table as long as there is fruit there to eat, but she'll always choose the fruit over whatever is on her plate. Apparently she doesn't have this problem at lunchtime with the sitters. They always make her favorite foods though and if she doesn't like something they make her something else.
What do you do to get your toddlers to eat dinner? Do you let them graze or do you try to sit down for family dinners?

The first official government report shows 3.8 million fewer people are uninsured after Obamacare kicks in.
One driver was sent to the hospital Tuesday night after losing control of his car, and driving into a house.
It happened just after 7PM in the 2100 block of Pine Tree Road in Longview.
Police say that the driver lost control of his SUV, went off the road, hit an electrical pole, then hit the side of a house.
The pole fell across Pine Tree Road, hitting another truck that was driving nearby. The driver of the truck was not hurt.
One person in the home at the time of the accident was not hurt, but said he thought the crash was loud thunder when it happened.
The driver of the SUV will also be ticketed for driving at an unsafe speed.
When the electrical pole that was struck fell across the road, the connecting wires also pulled down the top of a second pole on the other side of the street.
Police tell KLTV 7 that the neighborhood traffic flow will be disrupted for most of the night while power crews work on the damaged pole.
Stay tuned to KLTV 7 for further updates.

G Star Tailored Denim - Make Your Street the Catwalk

At the forefront of street wear fashion, their high-end clothing lines and innovative designs made raw denim desirable.

Fashion shows consist of the latest and greatest designs that stand out from anything we have seen before. Much like the designers themselves, the fashion conscious youth of today are re-thinking their classification of high-fashion. Trends built on a philosophy of worn-in style are becoming more popular. G Star has been at the forefront of this denim revolution and has been continually pushing the boundaries of design through continual experimentation. G Star has developed a range of raw, unwashed jeans that take on their own design with the life of the wearer. By framing denim as if it was an art form, G Star has created tailored jeans that make any street a catwalk.

Detroit police say 32-year old Deon Tinsley was shot to death inside his car on Monday, April 15th.
Tinsley finished dropping his kids off at school and was picking up his stepfather for a planned trip to the grocery store. But the pair never made it to the store because, as the stepfather explains it, Tinsley was a victim of road rage.
"The car was blocking the street, and he wanted to get by. And the guy said something to him, and I guess words were exchanged, and a guy got out and shot him," Charles Styles told Fox 2.
Homicide detectives have not confirmed that story, though they are still investigating all possible motives. Police say Tinsley was shot at least seven times, so investigators believe the shooting was too personal to be an act of road rage.
Police do have a lead on a suspect, and sources say an arrest is expected to be made soon.

In one sense, it's a hi-tech 21st-century city awash with neon lights and the sights and sounds of a 24 hour metropolis, while at the same time, a city retaining the majesty and graceful ambience of the ancient dynasties that once ruled. Like the river Han on which it sits, Seoul is constantly moving as it strides boldly into the future, yet simultaneously managing to keep one foot firmly entrenched in its historical past. Facts Population 10,420,000 Currency South Korean Won (KRW) Opening hours Generally opening hours from around 9am to 8pm. Several night markets are open throughout the night.
