Many think that their wishes will be taken into account when they die even if they do not have a Will. Some think that your orally expressed wishes may have some effect. Others feel that their hand written or typed instructions are sufficient to distribute their assets in accordance with their wishes. Regrettably they are all wrong and writing down or typing your wishes has absolutely no effect in many States. Instead, the legislature in the State you live in will decide how your assets are divided if you do not make a "formal" Will. What this could mean is that your assets could be distributed to people that you intensely dislike. Moreover, without a carefully constructed Will close friends and some close family members could be completely excluded from both receipt of assets and guardianship of your children. Click here to get a Will Questionnaire sent to you and a White Paper on the top 10 reasons to get a Will. In addition, here are some things to consider and some good reasons why you should consult with a lawyer and make a proper Will.
What is a Will & Why is a Will Important?
A Will is a legal document that describes exactly what you want done with your assets and minor children if you die. Designing and implementing a Will is most effective when completed before a crisis occurs as inadequate preparation for life transitions and delayed response often lead to increased costs and loss of control over important personal and financial choices. A carefully drafted will is a great way to protect your family, to avoid unnecessary estate taxes and to carry out your wishes with regard to your estate. Another important reason to have a Will is so that you can specify exactly what you would like done in the event you experience severe health issues that leave you incapacitated. Do not leave these difficult decisions to family members who are already going through a high amount of stress because of your illness.
What happens if You Die Without a Will?
If you die without a Will your assets are distributed in accordance with the laws in your State. As the person who makes a Will is called the Testator when you die without one you have died Intestate. The Intestate laws attempt to approximate what most people would want when they die but it is hard to imagine that a group of legislators could mirror your wishes when it comes to such a personal decision. Notwithstanding the fact that your wishes will be ignored, your assets will be divided up based on the way the government says they should be divided up regardless of your personal feelings towards those who will receive your money. Do you have an Aunt that raised you like a mother? A favorite brother? A best friend? A close relative that perhaps you are not fond of? If you have any of these, you are out of luck because your assets will be divided up and some of these people will not see a penny and others that you may despise may inherit your fortune. Finally, if you have small children, the Government will decide who should raise them and your wishes will not really be taken into account.
Is a Will that I handwrite or Type Effective?
The short answer is No in many States. In New York for example, a Will that does not adhere to the strict Will formalities is invalid and even though the document you create may clearly express who you want to give your money to, your instructions are completely ignored. The idea that the government would ignore your wishes even if they are known may sound odd but most States favor the formality over the risk of fraud. You may have heard of a handwritten Will referred to as a "holographic" Will and these Wills are often not worth the paper they are written on.
To illustrate this, let us say that Mary is 58 years old, sane, and she writes down (or types) on a piece of paper the following. "I Mary Watson being of sound mind and body wish to leave my house to my beloved Sister Karen Smith and the money in my Bank account to my best friend John Heave who took care of me for years when I was ill, my car to my grandmother Susan Clark and the rest of my belongings to my non blood related stepson Jason Fishbind." Let us also say that her husband is deceased and she also indicates in her "Will" that "I would like to disinherit my daughter Samantha because she betrayed me and I do not want her to get a penny." Regrettably for Mary, her assets would be divided as if this letter did not exist. For example, if she wrote this in New York, most of the people she wanted to give money to would not get a cent. Her best friend, nothing, the grandmother, nothing, the sister nothing, the stepson (unless he was adopted) nothing. In fact, the ONLY person who would receive her entire estate is the daughter Samantha that Mary wanted to disinherit. What this means is a Will that does not adhere to the strict formalities such as signing in front of two witnesses, indicating to the witnesses that it is a Will that is being signed, and other formalities, is useless.
If You Do Not Have Many Assets Should You Bother with a Will?
Almost everyone should have a Will. I say almost as there may be some who really do not care where their money, property or children go and for these people who truly do not care, a Will is not needed. Consider this case of a Mother, Father & 21 year old son who have very modest assets. Say Mother dies in New York and does not have a Will. Let us also assume that the house that mother and the father lived in was in mother's name alone, has a value of $100,000 and that the father and 21 year old son do not get along well. Also let us assume that the father, mother and son do not have any other valuable assets. Many may see this situation and think that if one parent dies, all assets would automatically transfer to the surviving spouse. In New York the statute actually says though that the first $50,000 goes to the spouse and the balance is divided between the surviving spouse and the children. In this case, we have a house that is worth $100,000 so the father would get $50,000 and the son (the son that the father does not get along with) and the father would split the remaining $50,000. Unless the father has $25,000 around to "pay-off" the son, the father could be forced to sell the house. All of this could have been avoided with a very simple Will.
Do I need a lawyer to make a Will?
Given the importance of a Will and the consequence of executing the Will incorrectly, you should get a lawyer. Also, estate planning is a tricky area and there are many things a good lawyer can point out to you that will ultimately save you far more than you will ever pay the lawyer. People are often taken in by a false sense of security associated with low cost pre-packaged Wills and either execute them incorrectly or include pre-packaged boilerplate provisions in their Will that do not have anything to do with their situation.

Chardonnay-Braised Chicken Thighs with Parsnips
In this easy one-pot braise, you get the best possible combination: crisp-skinned chicken and a luscious wine sauce.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 medium chicken thighs (about 2 3/4 pounds)
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 small shallots, peeled and quartered
- 1 pound parsnips, peeled and cut into 3-by- 1/2-inch batons
- 1 rosemary sprig (about 6 inches)
- 1 cup California Chardonnay or other dry white wine
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- Chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 425°. In a large, deep ovenproof skillet, melt the butter in the oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and dust with the flour, tapping off the excess. Add the chicken to the skillet skin side down and cook over high heat, turning once, until browned, 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add the shallots, parsnips and rosemary to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the wine and boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Nestle the chicken skin side up in the skillet, tucking it between the parsnips. Transfer the skillet to the middle rack of the oven and braise the chicken uncovered for about 25 minutes, until cooked through.
Turn the broiler on. Broil the chicken for 3 minutes, until the skin is crisp. Return the skillet to high heat and boil until the sauce is thickened, 3 minutes. Discard the rosemary sprig. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to bowls, garnish with parsley; serve.
Suggested Pairing
Fresh, peach-scented Chardonnay.

"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." (Matthew 7:1-5 ESV)
In the aftermath of what analysts are calling the worst natural disaster ever to strike the western hemisphere, the American people have responded with an immense outpouring of generosity and support. Dozens of entities-most notably the U.S. military, the American Red Cross, and countless other organizations dedicated to providing essential disaster relief-have sprung into action. In the same way that Americans came together after the devastating tsunami of 2004 and the terror attacks of 2001, the people of Haiti are witnessing firsthand what we as a nation can do when united by a single purpose and a common vision.
Unfortunately, the messages of hope and goodwill coming from America in the past two weeks have been marred by the ill-considered and inappropriate remarks of Christian televangelist Pat Robertson. Two days after the earthquake struck, Robertson declared on his show, The 700 Club, that the earthquake (and Haiti's destitution in general) is the manifestation of God's punishment for a pact that the Haitian people made with Satan in 1791 in order to drive the French colonial presence from their land.
Not surprisingly, these comments have sparked outrage in many quarters. Why — in the face of unimaginable suffering, sorrow, and misery — would Robertson have decided that now is a good time to suggest, in essence, that the Haitian nation "had it coming?" Why would he imagine that he, or any other person, is qualified to make such a judgment?
It's true that, as Christians, we believe that God can and does use natural events to express his righteous judgment. The Bible is full of instances in which people are punished by floods, fire, and yes, earthquakes as a result of sins committed against God and against each other. We're all familiar with the story of Noah and the flood, the fiery judgment upon Sodom and Gomorrah, and the ten plagues of Egypt. The Old Testament book of Isaiah prophesies about God's punishment on the earth, telling us that "the earth shall be utterly empty and utterly plundered, for the Lord has spoken this word." Verses 18-20 discuss earthquakes in particular:
[T]he foundations of the earth tremble. The earth is utterly broken, the earth is split apart, the earth is violently shaken. The earth staggers like a drunken man; it sways like a hut; its transgression lies heavy upon it, and it falls, and will not rise again. (Isaiah 24: 18-20 ESV)
Thus, it is not out of the question that the terrible natural disasters that have occurred over the centuries, including plagues of disease, have been evidence of God's displeasure with mankind. It is also quite possible that God's wrath has nothing whatsoever to do with these events. Jesus addressed this point explicitly with his disciples, who were quick to surmise that those suffering from various calamities and persecutions were being targeted for their sins or the sins of their fathers:
Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish (Luke 13:2-5 ESV).
In this passage and elsewhere, Jesus redirects the disciples' attention from the outward to the inward. Instead of speculating about the sins of others or the judgment of God, he says, we would do well to examine our own hearts and ask forgiveness for our own sins.
Christians should not be quick to assume that because calamity has befallen another, sin is the root cause of their problem. The disciples made just such a mistake when they observed a man blind from birth and asked Jesus "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" (John 9:2 ESV) Jesus responded, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him." (John 9:3 ESV) Jesus then went on to heal the man.
God's ways are not man's ways. (Isaiah 55: 8-9) Therefore, rather than indulging in the temptation to assign blame when others suffer misfortune, we would do well to examine our own lives, repent of our own sins, and seek to be at peace with our neighbors.
We are commanded by God not to judge others, but instead to love our neighbor as ourselves. Christ teaches us that we are all sinners; we all fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) Let us all, therefore, respond to the tragedy in Haiti with an attitude of humility and repentance as we reach out to help those in need.

Thin Lizzy - Still Live and Dangerous
PUBLISHED: 12:26 01 April 2006 | UPDATED: 15:40 22 October 2010
UEA LCR, Norwich
UEALCR, Norwich
Performing live was always Thin Lizzy's strength.
How would they shape up without their legendary founder member and front man Phil Lynott who died 20 years ago?
Damned good to be sure. Former Lizzy guitarists Scott Gorham and John Sykes blazed away taking us all on the greatest trips down memory lane.
With Michael Lee pounding away on drums and Marco Mendoza thundering along on bass this was honest-to-goodness no-holds-barred rock music that had everyone shouting and left your ears ringing.
Whiskey in a Jar opened swiftly, followed by such Lizzy classics as Emeralds, Rosalie, Jailbreak and Dancing in the Moonlight.
The pace only slowed briefly for the bluesy Still in Love with You.
The Boys were definitely back in town and their twinned guitars were sheer quality.
John Sykes handled the vocals well not copying Lynott but getting just the right feel for the songs. This was a show from the heart and their enthusiasm was infectious.
"Every note and every minute of every song is for Phil Lynott," shouted Sykes and should the man himself have been looking down on events then I am sure he would have approved.

How much do you know about animation pictures?
You can show your knowledge with this game.
As a hint, an image distorsionated and three options, only one of them is correct.
In order to be able to go to next level you have to guess all the images of the preview level.
The distorsionated images change constantly so do not think it is going to be easy.
A lot of fun and sure your kids know more than you!!

What a brilliant relaxing place to stay. We picked the garden villa and we loved it. Its a quiet peaceful place to stay and the staff were fantastic. It beach is a little rocky so not best for swimming but very pretty and made up for by a brilliant pool. This hotel is perfect for romantic breaks. I will think back on my memories there during the cold wet winters in ireland. One of the best hotel rooms i have ever had! Outdoor bathroom and private jacuzzi and gazibo bliss!!!:)

Very cosy resort with attentive staff, good breakfast and nice big pool. Stayed in a garden villa which was great. Outside bathroom - but no problem with rain. Coming frm Chaweng, the beach was a bit dissapointing as there are rocks in the water once you get more then 5 m out... Remote Location - so requires own transportation. Need about 40 min to reach Chaweng, 15min to Nathon. Real nice place for people who need calm and relaxing holidays.

My wife, child and I had a perfect stay in Koh Samui thanks to the staff of Ban Sabai Sunset resort. We stayed with a 2 year old child that was constantly pampered by the hotel staff. We stayed in a Garden Villa room that provided us with an in-room jacuzzi and pool, and a minute walk access to the beach. The hotel is away from the 2 primary beaches in Samui, which we found a good thing as pretty much all our needs were served in the resort. They also were happy to reserve for us excursions in the island. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone that is looking for a vacation in Koh Samui.

Nice location and small friendly well run hotel. Our villa was perfect right on the beach which was clean and not bothered by hawkers. Staff were very friendly also and the manager Chat did a great job. The only comment I have is that the beds and pillows are very hard and not comfortable. Softer pillows were avail when we requested them. Some REAL meusli without the chocolate bits in would be very nice especially considering the owners are swiss! All in all I would go there again, good value for money.

The best place for those seeking a wonderfull boutique hotel in a very quiet and away from civilization area! He had a great time, the staff was very nice! Highly recommend for those who want confort, a bit higher standarts and a place to relax. If you´re looking for nightlife, tourists, shops, crowded beaches,bungalows, people selling stuff on the beach, then this is not the place to come.

Owners of 14 Rhode Island and Massachusetts businesses with expertise running the gamut from technology to construction, metal-tile manufacturing and fishing tackle have joined together in a group they call the Entrepreneurial Exchange.
The main requirements of membership are that each person own a $1 million to $15 million company, they commit to confidentiality and they adhere to attendance requirements of the three-to-five-hour meeting once a month, not missing more than three meetings a year. Each person has to be invited by a member.
"It's not networking, although networking happens. It's not coaching," said Peter Manickas, owner of a third-generation jewelry and metal-tile manufacturing company, Metal Tile Technology in Attleboro. "This is more intimate. That's why the confidentiality requirement is so important. We share our successes and failures and challenges.
"We share the blood, sweat and tears of running a business and we discuss things we wouldn't talk about at a Rotary Club or other business event," said Manickas, one of three founding members of the 18-month-old group.
"We discuss things we don't want to bother our spouses, our families or our friends with, and they might not understand them as well as the people in the group," said Manickas.
The discussions might include information the company owners don't want competitors in their industry to know about, so the cross-pollination of experience and talent brings a broad perspective.
"I've been considering new developments for my distribution system and I've gotten some really good ideas from the group," said Manickas.
There is a foundation to the group – it's loosely based on the Master Mind principles of Napoleon Hill from his 1938 motivational and personal-development classic "Think and Grow Rich."
"Napoleon Hill's Master Mind may be defined as 'coordination of knowledge and effort in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of definite purpose'," said Jon Daskam, owner of Warwick-based Cobalt Construction. The company offers construction management, project management and design/build services for commercial clients in several states. It was founded in 2000.
Hill's book helped convince Daskam to try and form the group.
"I thought, why not put a number of business owners together and collaborate?" said Daskam. "We look at is as a board of directors."
Daskam has long been involved in professional and community organizations. He's on the board of directors of Rhode Island Hospital and works with tourism organizations, as many of his construction projects have been for the hospitality industry.
"I find that when you're running your own business, you sometimes feel like you're in the weeds. So when you're looking at challenges or opportunities, it's really helpful to have 10 or 15 guys not in your business every day to offer a fresh perspective," said Daskam.
Currently the group is made up of 15 men, and while there are no women, that's just how it's worked out until now, said Daskam, who said the group may add a few more people and welcomes diversity.
Members of the group also include the owners of the IT strategy company Gurnet Consulting, Peregrine Property Management, V1 Vodka, landscape architects Birchwood Design Group, Excellent and Downeast Coffee, Marc Allen Fine Clothiers, Thor Marketing, Platinum Fire Protection, EBS Capstone Insurance, electrical services company DK Power, Insite Engineering and fishing-tackle maker Zing Products.
"The discussions are really candid and sometimes it's amazing what comes from them," said Daskam. "We're really committed to helping each other. We really try to go narrow and deep. We really want to help improve the businesses."
That help kicked Zing Products owner Christopher Lynch into motion on his Web presence.
Lynch has known Daskam since they were friends at Attleboro High School. They kept in touch, sometimes catching up over coffee as Lynch transitioned from 17 years in banking, most recently working with small- and medium-sized businesses for Citizens Bank, to buying the then-Westport-based fishing-tackle company, reinvigorating it and relocating to an industrial park in Wareham, Mass.
When Daskam suggested he come to the Entrepreneurial Exchange a year-and-a-half ago, Lynch first thought he didn't have time to participate.
"My experience was radically different than anyone else in the group, leaving commercial banking and buying a fishing-tackle-manufacturing company," said Lynch. "It's turned out to be really helpful. When I presented my opportunities and weaknesses, the group said I really need to increase my Web presence.
"I'm a wholesaler and my customers get a catalog of the products. … Since I don't sell directly to the general public, I wasn't interested in working on our online presence," Lynch said.
His view developed new depth, richness and long-term vision with feedback from the Entrepreneurial Exchange.
"We sell fishing tackle, but what we really sell is fun. It's about time to be on the water with your kids and family," said Lynch. "It's about going out for the weekend and enjoying life. More Zing fishing tackle in the hands of more people makes life better."
In the two months since he was offered the suggestions, he's been working on Web, video and photography for Zing.
"The perspective from the group make me realize that when more people can see the products on line, they can increase the demand, so maybe people will ask where they can get the products and that will increase our wholesale market," said Lynch.
After trying to get Bass Pro Shops as a customer for some time, Lynch finally sealed that deal since he's been in the entrepreneurial group.
"That was a good thing to go back and report to the group," said Lynch.
While moving business to the next level is the main mission of the group, there's a broader, personal benefit.
"My dad was in manufacturing in Rhode Island and he really helped me transition to Zing five years ago," said Lynch. "I feel like the group of business owners is also extended family. The more time we spend together, the more comfortable we are with each other."
Day-to-day management of a business can make it seem difficult to get out to the rather long meetings, but it's well worth it, said Lynch.
"This forces me once a month to get out into a positive, healthy environment with fellow business owners," said Lynch. "And we have some laughs."
While meeting as a mastermind group was the way to go in the 1930s when Napoleon Hill developed his principles and strategies, the Entrepreneurial Exchange is amplifying the power of the group with technology.
The group is using an online platform called Yammer, a social media tool like Facebook, but it's by invitation only, so it's a closed group.
"It's called an enterprise-collaboration tool," said Martin King, president of East Providence-based Gurnet Consulting, which does IT strategy and deployment, who helped launch the Entrepreneurial Exchange. "We post articles or surveys on Yammer and if someone has a question or a project, we share information."
What would Napoleon Hill think of Yammer?
"Napoleon Hill would think it's great," said King. "We're using it between our monthly meetings to amplify the power of the collective intelligence." •

Horse inspections are designed solely to evaluate the horse's "fitness to compete" in the competition ahead.
Photo: Kristen M. Janicki, MS, PAS
Horses and three-day event riders from all around the globe have descended upon the Kentucky Horse Park, in Lexington, in preparation for the 2016 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event presented by Land Rover, which will take place April 28 - May 1. But before the event even begins and again before the final phase of the event, all equine competitors must undergo a horse inspection--an aspect of the competition that can make even the most seasoned riders sweat.
At all Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) sanctioned events, the veterinary delegate and the ground jury (cumulatively called the panel) evaluate each horse twice--once prior to the competition and once prior to the show jumping phase (the third and final phase)--to ensure he is fit to compete. TheHorse.com caught up with Lisa Crump, DVM, associate veterinarian for the 2016 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event, to find out exactly what goes on during horse inspections.
Before Inspection
Crump explained that by the time an equine competitor is brought before the panel for inspection, he or she will have already undergone a veterinary examination upon arriving at the competition venue. "During the (first veterinary) exam the horse is identified according to its passport, its vaccination status is verified, and it is established that the horse does not have apparent contagious or infectious disease," she relayed. "The baseline health is evaluated by a physical examination, including listening to heart and lungs, palpating limbs to investigate abnormalities, and (making) general observations."
At this point, the veterinarian does not yet evaluate the horse's gait and/or soundness, she said.
What are Horse Inspections?
According to the 12th Edition of the FEI Veterinary Protocol, horse inspections are designed solely to evaluate the horse's "fitness to compete" in the competition ahead; they're not designed to be as in-depth as the first veterinary examination or as in-depth as a typical soundness or prepurchase examination.
An inspection will result in one of three outcomes:
- The horse is accepted to move forward with the competition;
- The horse is not accepted to continue in the competition; or
- The horse is sent to the holding box (more on that in a moment).
In the event the horse is not accepted, the president of the ground jury will discuss the decision with the rider.
"Understandably, emotions can run high because riders have invested significant time and effort into preparing a horse for competition," Crump relayed. "The ground jury and the veterinary panel must be open and available to discuss their reasons with the rider, but the decision is not open to appeal. The ultimate responsibility lies with the inspection panel."
The first veterinary examination and the horse inspections are the only official examinations the veterinary team performs. Crump noted that the veterinary commission is available to riders after cross-country to assist in evaluating their horses' recovery and to further examine any horses the ground jury might identify as needing additional attention. The veterinary team also provides treatment advice should a rider or a personal veterinarian request it.
"All riders are encouraged to seek advice from the delegate or associate veterinarian at any time," she said.
What Does the Panel Look For?
As mentioned, the horse inspection is not intended to be a lameness exam. "But clearly, a horse that is lame is not fit to compete," said Crump. "The difficulty comes in because there is normal variation in the way horses move (their gait), and there are varying degrees of abnormal gait or lameness.
"In addition to the gait, the panel considers the demeanor of the horse: Does it seem rested, fresh and ready to compete, or tired; This is generally more of an issue at the second horse inspection, held after cross-country, before the jumping test," she continued. "Are there marks from spurs or use of the whip, cuts in the corner of the mouth from the bit, or other injuries visible?"
Crump has developed a system of evaluating horses for when she holds the role of veterinary delegate (the 2016 Rolex Kentucky veterinary delegate is Catherine Kohn, VMD, PhD, Dipl. ACVIM). "When I am in the role of the veterinary delegate, I have in mind a standard," Crump explained. "If a horse is lame to a degree which is over my standard, then the cause of the lameness is not the key point to me. The horse is beyond my standard, and I vote to not accept it. It is more difficult in cases where the horse just seems 'not quite right.' "
In these cases, the horse is typically sent to the holding box.
The Holding Box
"If a horse is not quite right but not so lame to be beyond my standard, then I would send it to the holding area to get additional information prior to making a decision to accept or not accept," Crump relayed. "Another reason to send a horse to the holding area would be if the panel members have differing opinions. In order to come to a consensus, it can help to get more information from the holding vet's examination."
When a horse is sent to the holding box, the associate veterinarian examines him. That veterinarian will relay the panel's concerns to the rider and ask if he or she has any additional information about the potential problem. "The rider is permitted to have their team veterinarian or private competitor's veterinarian with them in the holding box," Crump said, adding that these veterinarians are often a good source of information because of their familiarity with the horse and rider.
The holding box veterinarian will then perform a brief work-up that typically includes walking and trotting the horse (in a straight line and possibly in both directions on a circle) and palpating his limbs; Crump noted that flexion tests are not performed in the holding box.
"If a problem becomes evident during the holding box examination, that information is passed on to the rider," she relayed. "The rider makes a decision to present the horse to the panel again or to withdraw from competition. If the horse is re-inspected, the holding box examining veterinarian first advises the panel on the exam findings, and the decision to accept or not accept the horse rests with the panel."
"Everybody's happy when the holding box doesn't get any action," Crump relayed.
Take-Home Message
While the best case scenario is that the inspection panel accepts all horses presented, this is not always feasible. The panel does their best to ensure all the horses involved in the competition will finish in good health, and in some cases that means not allowing them to continue to the next phase. Ensuring the safety, health, and welfare of horses taking part in the competition remains the panel's goal with each horse inspection.

On February 20, 2006, shortly before 6 p.m. five-year-old Robert Turner called 911 after finding his mother, Sherrill Turner, lying unconscious on the floor of her bedroom. He told 911 operator Sherry Nichols that his "mom has passed out." When Nichols asked to speak to his mother, Robert said, "She's not gonna . . . she not gonna talk." Although Nichols told the boy that she would send the police to the house, she did not do so, logging the call as a child's prank. Three hours later, Robert again called 911, reaching operator Terri Sutton. When Robert said that his mom "has passed out in her room," Sutton asked, "Where the grown-up at?" Robert answered, "In her room. . . ." Sutton asked to speak to her, and Robert repeated that his mother had passed out and was not going to talk. Sutton said: "Okay. Well, you know what then? She's gonna talk to the police. Okay. She's gonna talk to the police because I'm sending them over there." When Robert said, "She's still not gonna talk," Sutton responded: "I don't care. You shouldn't be playing on the phone. . . . Now put her on the phone before I send the police out there to knock on the door and you gonna be in trouble." Sutton dispatched a police officer, who arrived at the Turner home about 9:30 p.m., responding to Sutton's report of a "child playing on phone." When he discovered Sherrill Turner lying unresponsive on the floor, the officer summoned emergency medical services. The EMS workers, who arrived about 20 minutes later, determined that Ms. Turner was dead. It appeared that she had died sometime within the past two hours.
Delaina Patterson, Robert's older sister, sued Nichols and Sutton on behalf of Sherrill Turner's estate and on Robert Turner's behalf. Patterson alleged that the two 911 operators were grossly negligent and that their negligence caused her mother's death. The lawsuit also included a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Sutton moved to dismiss the claims against her, arguing that she was entitled to governmental immunity. As to the wrongful death claim, Sutton contended that she owed Sherrill Turner no duty to provide assistance, that her failure to summon medical aid did not amount to gross negligence, and that her conduct was not the proximate cause of the woman's death. As to the claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress, Sutton argued that she was entitled to governmental immunity under MCL 691.1407(2) because she did not commit an intentional tort; Sutton maintained that she did not intend to cause Robert any distress. Nichols filed a similar motion, making the same arguments that Sutton had made. The trial court denied both defendants' motions.
Both Nichols and Sutton appealed, but in an unpublished per curiamopinion, the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's ruling. Turning to the wrongful death claim first, the Court of Appeals noted that governmental employees are immune from tort liability unless their conduct amounts to "gross negligence that is the proximate cause of the injury of damage." MCL 691.1407(2)(c). "Gross negligence" is defined at MCL 691.1407(7)(a) as "conduct so reckless as to demonstrate a substantial lack of concern for whether an injury results." The Court of Appeals concluded that Nichols' and Sutton's conduct was grossly negligent, and that there was a genuine issue of material fact whether that grossly negligent conduct was the proximate cause of Sherrill Turner's death. "[A] question of fact clearly exists regarding whether the underlying medical event or defendants' failure to provide the requested medical assistance was 'the proximate cause,' i.e., the one most immediate, efficient, and direct cause of decedent's death," the Court of Appeals panel stated. As to the intentional infliction of emotional distress claim, the appellate panel ruled that there was a question of fact regarding whether Nichols and Sutton were acting in good faith, and whether they were performing discretionary rather than ministerial acts. Moreover, a reasonable jury could conclude that Nichols and Sutton engaged in "extreme and outrageous conduct," the Court of Appeals said. Accordingly, the 911 operators were not entitled to dismissal of the intentional tort claim on governmental immunity grounds, the appellate court concluded. Sutton and Nichols appeal.

Sundog rocks the night
Colby Nalder, my waiter at the Western BBQ on Sunday night gave some of the best advice a server has ever bestowed upon me. "The macaroni and cheese is on the buffet on the far side, and the other side has baked beans."
The mac and cheese tip wasn't the only thing he did that impressed me. Nalder sang a Johnny Cash song (very well) at the end of the night with the band Sundog - a group that knows how to make sure its audience has a good time.
Guitarist Chris Koebnick had a spoon sticking out of his cowboy hat throughout the band's spoon-hanging (from your nose) contest, and he gave an official can of Sundog sauerkraut to the young winner.
I can't remember the last time I heard the Hokey Pokey or saw so many happy children. They were up there dancing with their parents and slow dancing like only young children can - the whole arm's-length-middle-school-slow-dance maneuver. It was priceless.
Sundog's Deanna Webb Koebnick and Randy Kelley taught the Boot Scootin' Boogie and honored every song request.
Maybe I spend too much time interviewing pretentious boy bands, but Sundog was down-to-earth and a refreshing change.
And did I mention that the food was fabulous? They had those tender barbecue ribs where the meat fell off the bone, juicy prime rib and, of course, the awesome mac and cheese. There even was warm apple cobbler.
The Western BBQ was the most fun dining experience I've had at 9,000 feet - and the evening gondola ride didn't hurt.
Early night
Friday night was the first time I've left a concert before it started. My friend and I went to see Sister Hazel at the top of the gondola. We entered the third floor of Thunderhead into a sea of out-of-towners. The band was 40 minutes late, and it felt like we were at a real concert in the real world where you didn't recognize anybody. People were wearing a lot of perfume, and the audience seemed apathetic. It was strangely frightening in a town where every venue feels like "Cheers." So we salvaged the evening with a couple pieces of pie from the Village Inn, went home and watched "Borat."
