Court hears arguments in same-sex marriage case
by: Marilyn Odenahl, www.theindianalawyer.com
A same-sex couple fighting to have Indiana recognize their marriage returned to court Friday to convince a judge the state’s ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.
Chief Judge Richard Young of the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Indiana heard arguments May 2 on pending motions in Baskin et al. v. Bogan et al., 1:14-cv-0355. Lambda Legal argued on behalf of the plaintiffs and Indiana Solicitor General Thomas Fisher argued the state’s case.
On April 10, Young granted a temporary restraining order requiring the state to acknowledge the marriage of two of the plaintiffs, Nikole Quasney and Amy Sandler. The women made an emotional appeal to the court to make the state recognize their marriage before Quasney loses her battle with stage IV ovarian cancer.
Young’s TRO instructed the Indiana State Department of Health to list Sandler as the spouse on any future death certificate for Quasney.
After today’s arguments in the Winfield K. Denton Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Evansville, Young took under advisement the motions for summary judgment. He will rule at a later date.
Lawsuits challenging state bans on same-sex marriage have been filed across the country ever since the U.S. Supreme Court knocked down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act in U.S. v. Windsor. Five lawsuits have been filed in Indiana since March.
Today, Fisher argued the Windsor decision left intact the authority of states and their legislatures to define marriage. Therefore, he contends, Indiana can legislate marriage as being between one man and one woman and can legally choose to not recognize same-sex unions granted in other states.
Some suggest it’s time for businesses to switch to a more feminine management style
When it comes to providing effective leadership, people believe that women are as good or better than men, a new review reveals.
The finding points to changing gender roles in society and the need for a different management style in the modern business environment, according to the authors of the analysis, published online April 28 in the Journal of Applied Psychology.
The researchers analyzed dozens of studies published between 1962 and 2011, most of them from the United States and Canada. Unpublished studies, books, theses and other sources were also examined.
The study authors noted that some experts have suggested that “a more feminine style of leadership is needed” to emphasize participation and open communication.
“When all leadership contexts are considered, men and women do not differ in perceived leadership effectiveness,” lead researcher Samantha Paustian-Underdahl, of Florida International University, said in a journal news release.
“As more women have entered into and succeeded in leadership positions, it is likely that people’s stereotypes associating leadership with masculinity have been dissolving slowly over time,” she added.
The researchers found that men tend to rate themselves as more effective leaders than women rate themselves. However, when other people’s opinions
were analyzed, women were seen as more effective leaders in senior- and middle-level management, and in business and education organizations.
“These findings are surprising given that men on average continue to be paid more and advance into higher managerial levels than women,” Paustian-Underdahl said. “Future research needs to examine why women are seen as equally [or more] effective leaders than men, yet are not being rewarded in the same ways.”

Chest Pain
What is Angina?
Angina is a painful or uncomfortable feeling in or near the chest. It hap-pens because the heart isn’t getting enough oxygen rich blood. 
Angina is not the same thing as a heart attack. Angina is the heart’s early warning that there may be a risk of a heart attack. Symptoms of angina should be reported to your physician and timely evaluation can protect you from hav-ing a heart attack.
There are 2 types of angina: Stable and Unstable. Both types need to be treated. Stable Angina occurs at predictable times, such as when you are doing something active like climbing stairs. It may also be triggered by stress or anger. It does not occur at rest, in fact, it is usually relieved by rest. Unstable Angina is not predictable. It can occur at rest. It usually lasts longer than stable
Recognize symptoms of Angina
- Pain, heaviness, tightness, pressure, burning, or aching
- These symptoms can be located in the chest, back, neck, throat, or jaw.
- Angina can also be felt in the arms, el-bows, wrists, or shoulders.
- Sometimes people with Diabetes do not have any obvious symptoms.
- Other symptoms that may occur include:
- Tiredness
- Nausea
- Sweating
- Shortness of Breath
- Light-headedness
- Increased or Irregular Heart Rate
How Does Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Develop?
Your heart is a muscle that pumps blood throughout the body. Like other muscles, the heart needs a steady supply of oxygen to function. The coro-nary arteries supply oxygen rich blood to the heart muscle. If the heart does not get enough oxygen rich blood, angina or a heart attack can result.
CAD starts when the lining of a coronary artery is damaged from smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and/or diabetes. A plaque then builds up within the artery wall and narrows the lumen. At times when the heart muscle needs more oxygen, not enough blood can get through to meet the need. This can lead to angina.
A heart attack (myocardial infarction) occurs when a coronary artery is completely blocked by a plaque and/or a blood clot. When this happens, the heart muscle beyond the blockage does not receive oxygen rich blood. This leads to death of the heart muscle if the blood vessel is not opened im-mediately. This damage cannot be reversed.

Indiana State Police Encourage Motorists to Watch for Motorcycles

May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month and the Indiana State Police remind all motorists and motorcyclists to share the road and practice safe driving habits.
Many serious and fatal crashes occur when motorists turn in front of motorcyclists. Be aware of motorcycles, especially at intersections and while making turns and lane changes. It is difficult to accurately judge the time, speed and distance of an approaching motorcycle. Before you drive through an intersection or make a left turn, check the position of oncoming motorcycles at least 2-3 times.
Troopers urge all motorcycle riders to wear helmets. According to the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, 151 motorcycle fatalities occurred in Indiana during 2012. Of those fatalities, 122 people were not wearing helmets. Not wearing a helmet might save you two seconds, but it could cost you the rest of your life.
Construction zones and uneven road surfaces can also be a deadly area for motorcyclists. Indiana State Police and the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) encourage all motorcyclists to be extra vigilant while riding through these sites. Many roadways will be resurfaced over the next several months and motorcyclists should be aware of “edge traps,†which occur when one lane is higher than the other. An inexperienced or inattentive motorcyclist can easily lose control when encountering these “edge traps.â€
Troopers offer the following safety tips for motorcyclists:
• Wear a DOT approved helmet and riding safety gear.
• Don’t consume alcohol while riding. During 2012, 36 motorcycle fatalities occurred in Indiana involving alcohol.
• Be visible. Ensure your headlight, taillight and brake light work properly.
• Wear high visibility clothing.
• Use lane positioning to increase visibility and watch for turning vehicles.
• Avoid riding in blind spots.
Indiana State Police Graduate 47 New State Troopers
Gov. Mike Pence delivered the keynote speech welcoming 47 new troopers to the Indiana State Police. The graduation ceremony was held in the rotunda of the State Capitol at 6:00 p.m. Each graduate took the oath of office, delivered by the Honorable Brent E. Dickson, Chief Justice of the Indiana Supreme Court, after which each trooper was presented their badge.
The 73rd State Police Academy began November 10, 2013 after 3,000 applications were submitted and narrowed to 80 people who were selected to start the academy. Of the 80 that started, 47 crossed the graduation stage having completed 25 weeks of training that included 600 hours of classroom instruction as well as nearly 300 hours of hands-on practical and scenario based training exercises.
With graduation completed, the new troopers will report to one of 14 state police posts across Indiana to begin three months of on-the-job training with a Field Training Officer. After successful completion of the field training the new troopers will start solo patrol in their assigned district.
