C.M. Russell Museum - Great Falls
The genius of Charles M. Russell (18641926) is nowhere more apparent than at the museum bearing his name. The C.M. Russell Museum holds one of the nation's largest collections of paintings, sculptures, drawings, and illustrated letters from Russell's boyhood through the end of his life.
Russell's artwork portrays the daily life of the range cowboy and the Plains Indian, the monumental landscapes of the Montana wilderness and its sovereign inhabitantsthe bison, elk, bear, and wolfall reflected through the artist's personal experience during the closing days of the western frontier. Russell's whimsical side is revealed in tiny, playful figures of gnomes, elves, and caricatures fashioned out of clay, wax, plaster, and bark.
The museum complex includes Russell's original house and log cabin studio, together designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965. With these structures and his personal collections of cowboy gear and Indian artifacts, total immersion in artist's life and creative process is possible.
In addition to its extensive Russell collections, the museum also features a groundbreaking permanent exhibition on the crucial role of the bison in the cultural life of the Northern Plains between 1800 and the present. The Bison: American Icon, Heart of Plains Indian Culture presents Northern Plains Indian clothing, regalia, tools, and weapons, as well as contemporary interpretations of the bison as a pervasive symbol in American culture.
The C.M. Russell Museum regularly hosts nationally acclaimed visiting temporary exhibitions.

Lagos 2019: Shasore, Hamzat On The Prowl, How Safe Is Ambode?
Lagos is not just the Apha state by name. The mega city political turf is tough and the stakes are high. Political tendencies spare nothing to grab the juicy state deploying all manners of Machiavellian tactics, high power politicking and intrigues.
The enormous potential and strategic importance of the state to the nation's political architecture must have prompted the ex- president Goodluck Jonathan to take the battle the den of lion of Bourdillon in 2015. Like a club guy, Jonathan stormed Lagos at the weekends to boost PDP's electoral fortune..
The generalissimo of Lagos politics was given a run for his resources. He emptied his arsenal to enthrone his godson in Alausa . That is the nature of Lagos politics and most essentially the beauty of democracy.
Democracy is all about making choices. While political watchers in Lagos are fixated on the incumbent Akinwunmi Ambode who is eagerly seeking to retain his plum job in 2019, Olasupo Sasore (SAN), a former Attorney General and Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, an ex-works commissioner in the state recent invasion of the political space threw spanners into the political permutations of power brokers in Lagos.
The ex-commissioners who slugged it out with the incumbent in the last governorship primaries are said to be tipped as 'credible alternatives' to Governor Akinwunmi Ambode whose popularity has reportedly waned among the populace and party apparatchiks.
Hamzat, who was in charge of infrastructural masterplan and execution in the government of Babatunde Raji Fashola trailed Ambode in the last primaries. He garnered 1,201 votes while the incumbent governor scored 3,735 votes.
Obviously, a lot have changed between 2014 and now. There is a palpable tension within the ruling party and many political war horses who claimed they had been neglected by the present administration are eagerly waiting for the governorship primaries to show strength and relevance.
The implication of the polarization is that there would be more delegates to poach from the political bloc that voted for Ambode in the last primaries whom many now accused of high-handedness.
Aside this, there are strong indications that Ikorodu district under the Lagos East Senatorial district might ditch Ambode at the primaries. Though they belong to the governor's district, but they are said to be angry with Ambode over the over-concentration of infrastructure projects in Epe axis to the detriment of Ikorodu.
Therefore, the traditional strongholds of Mushin , Ifako , a section of Alimosho and other parts of Lagos West Senatorial district are expected to boost the chances of Hamzat at the primaries. Hamzat's father is strong grassroots political figure in Lagos west.
The former Works commission will pontificate on his achievements when he was in the saddle to get the sympathy of the delegates. He is expected to promise fair deal for all interests within Lagos APC. Things appear to be looking up for him.
Another heavyweight whose name has been thrown up as likely contender for Lagos top job is Olasupo Sasore. Who is Sasore? What would it do differently? How far can he go? These are part of the questions that trailed Sasore posters that emerged on the social media last weekend.
But Sasore is not a neophyte in the game. The lawyer upset the political terrain in 2014 ahead of the APC governorship primaries. He invaded the race like hurricane dwarfing aspirants who joined the race ahead of him.
Sasore was feasible all over Lagos. His posters and other campaign materials flooded every conceivable space in Lagos. He set the race on fire. He appeared like a meticulous strategist with the way prosecuted his campaign and endeared himself to Lagosians.
The former attorney-general has a lot in his kitty to market himself to delegates. The lawyer who is known to be very hardworking and resilient would most likely regaled party delegates on how brought innovation to government under Fashola and revolutionalized the justice sector in Lagos.
Sasore, was a vocal proponent of granting of 'special status' to Lagos at the 2014 Confab. He led Lagos contingents to the conference. The senior advocate is being promoted as the true face of continuity by a powerful influential caucus in the Lagos APC.
Political observers are watching with keen interest how the intrigues will play in days ahead.

It's been quite a while since we discussed HIPAA (see TCPR, July 2005 for our interview with Rebecca Brendel). So let's do a quick review.
As you undoubtedly know, one of the purposes of HIPAA, a law originally passed in 1996, is to regulate the flow of protected health information (PHI). It says that you are allowed to communicate PHI in certain circumstances—like to collaborate with other doctors or to get paid by insurance companies. But it also lays out a series of safeguards that you have to take to make sure nobody outside this circle of knowing gets their hands on PHI. For example, you have to make sure you or your staff don't talk about patients in public, you shouldn't leave charts out where people can see them, and if you use an electronic health record (EHR), you have to make sure that it has a good protocol to prevent data breaches.
Applying HIPAA to telemedicine has proven to be pretty tricky. A decade ago, most of us believed that the only way to ensure secure videoconferencing was to pay for expensive "HIPAA-compliant" videoconferencing equipment. This severely limited telemedicine's economic feasibility. But things are changing. There are many more free or nearly free videoconferencing platforms, and most patients and doctors are quite comfortable using them.
This means that you have to use your own judgment regarding what technologies are private enough, based on guidance provided in the HIPAA law. Instead of "HIPAA compliant," the better term for evaluating these systems would be "HIPAA compatibility," and there is a spectrum here. Systems can be more HIPAA compatible, or less.
1. Encryption. All communication between you and your patient should be protected, and the best way to achieve this is to encrypt such information. Encryption ensures that if anybody hacks into your conversation, all they will see is gobbledygook—unless they have the encryption key. Skype, FaceTime, and Google Hangouts all encrypt their data, probably at a level that is stringent enough to meet HIPAA guidelines.
2. Business Associate Agreement (BAA). HIPAA defines a "business associate" as any company that: a) helps you run your practice, and b) has access to PHI. Business associates include your billing company, your answering service, your transcriptionist, your EHR vendor, and others. All these services require either storage of PHI or entrusting people to see the information. HIPAA requires that all of these specially defined business associate sign a contract stating that they will keep your patients' health information secret. This is the so-called business associates agreement, or BAA.
Skype, FaceTime, and Google Hangouts do not offer such agreements (though Skype offers a paid business version that does). So they're not HIPAA compatible, right? Probably wrong— because of a HIPAA provision called the "mere conduit" exception. If a company is not in the business of actually storing PHI, but simply helps to transmit it from point A to point B, then it doesn't have to sign a HIPAA business agreement. The analogy often used is a mail courier service, like FedEx. FedEx transports packages from place to place, but the company does not open them. Similarly, Skype transmits encrypted information but does not look at it or store it anywhere for review.
Not everyone agrees that Skype qualifies as a "mere conduit." A common argument is that since Skype cooperates with law enforcement to investigate criminal communication, this means that the company does have a digital "back door" that could potentially be hacked by the bad guys (though this has not happened). Because of this admittedly remote possibility, some people contend that Skype should be treated like a business associate.
We don't agree with that argument, but we acknowledge that it is a debatable point. For us, the fact that Skype (and FaceTime and Google Hangouts) securely encrypt all transmissions makes these technologies sufficiently HIPAA compatible.
As a bit of an aside, given the gnashing of teeth about Skype's privacy, why don't we ever hear worries about the simple telephone? Surely the phone, the constant victim of wiretaps in crime dramas, can't be HIPAA compatible? Most experts seem to avoid this question—but some say that tapping a phone is actually much harder than hacking into email. That's good enough for me!
3. Monitoring for breaches. You're supposed to have a way of monitoring any communication you use for breaches, and the government should be able to audit it. Skype won't provide you with a report like this. On the other hand, there have been no reports of hackers actually listening in on conversations—the main risk is that hackers could look at your call log. The bottom line is that Skype, Are FaceTime, and Google Hangouts are all encrypted video platforms that are widely adopted, easy to use, and free. Their official HIPAA compatibility is the subject of ongoing debate, but many clinicians use them anyway.

A recent study has revealed that reading books significantly heightens brain activity. This heightened activity lasts for up to five days after reading. Most amazingly, it doesn't even have to be your favorite book. The participants in the study weren't reading books they chose, the researchers chose for them.
to understand how stories get into your brain, and what they do to it.
Previous studies have shown which areas of the brain are affected by reading books, but never before has a study revealed any biological long term effects. After all, we all know that reading books is just plain old good for the brain, but what this study showed us that it is far better than anyone had ever realized.
It depicts true events in a fictional and dramatic way. It was important to us that the book had a strong narrative line.
The study was split up into three sections. For the first five days the participants underwent fMRI scans in a resting state. No books were read during this time. The next 9 days the participants spent reading books. They were given about 30 pages of the book to read overnight. They would then be scanned in the morning. During the remaining 5 days the participants were once again scanned and were asked not to read books.
The results revealed that even though the participants were no longer reading any books, their brains still had heightened connectivity in the left temporal cortex, an area associated with language. Berns describes this effect as being very similar to muscle memory.
The most interesting result was that greater connectivity was also seen in an area of the brain called the central sulcus. This area of the brain is responsible for grounded cognition, which is the process of creating a representation of sensation. What this means is that if you imagine climbing Mount Everest, the central sulcus will be a good sport and activate neurons that would be activated if you were actually climbing Mount Everest.
We already knew that good stories can put you in someone else's shoes in a figurative sense. Now we're seeing that something may also be happening biologically.
Reading books allows your mind to be transported to another universe, and your body to be transformed into another state of being.

Baba Sala, 'A Blessing To Yoruba Race, Nigeria' Honoured
By Banji Ayoola
The late legendary comedian, Chief Moses Olaiya Adejumo, MON, popularly called 'Baba Sala', and variously described as father or pillar of Nigerian comedy, has been conferred with a post humus Life Achievement Award for his monumental contributions to the development of theatre and comedy in Nigeria.
While presenting the plaque, Otunba Babatunde said the late comedian was a blessing to the Yoruba race and Nigeria as a whole. He added that it is to the honour of Baba Sala that he had a son representing him and carrying on the flag in the world of comedy in particular and entertainment in general.
Baba Sala's son, Emmanuel Adejumo, received the award, which was conferred on him at the recent Faaji Agba Eko organised by Evergreen Musical Company Limited in partnership with Association of Friends (UP ASSO), a social club based at Maryland, Ikorodu Road, Lagos.
Also, Soko music whizkid, Wonder Dayo Kujore, was honoured and presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to the growth and development of Juju Music.
The event held primarily to celebrate indigenous music and musicians who have contributed immensely to the promotion of indigenous music, especially in Lagos State. Venue was the reception Hall UP ASSO, Maryland, Ikeja Lagos.
According to The Nation, the hall was large enough and accommodating. So was its ambience. The location was much easier for many to access. Yet, the guests were moderate in size- a selected mix of young and old, no thanks to COVD-19 protocols. The gathering was unlike the regular 'owambe' party held in social clubs and event centres across the city most weekends.
It was a unique outing as guests were thrilled to special oldies of legends such as Victor Olaiya, Victor Uwaifo, Dr Orlando Owoh, Rex Jim Lawson, Mike Okri and Wura Fadaka, while the Harmony Blenders led Jide Ogbola, presented scintillating tunes to the delight of all.
The guests who observed the Covid-19 protocols were founder Evergreen Musical Company, Baba Femi Esho and wife, and other Lagos socialites, media personalities and celebrities. They included Deputy Director, Lagos State Ministry of Culture and Tourism Mrs Adamma Oni, former chairman, Ikoyi Club Chief Bolaji Adeniji, Publisher, City People Magazine Mr Seye Kehinde, President, Lagos Civil Service Club; Mr Femi Ajenifuja, Mr Olanrewaju Onigegewura, Olanrewaju Akinsola (Onigegewura), Chairman, Yoruba Tennis Club, Wunmi Agbaje, General Manager, Lagos Traffic Radio Mr Tayo Akanle, former Commissioner for Information, Lagos State Mr Kehinde Bamigbetan, former Commissioner for Urban Development, Lagos State Mr Rotimi Ogunleye, Air Commodore Ademola Onitiju and Yinka Davies who anchored the evening.
Managing Director Evergreen Musical Company, Bimbo Esho, said the annual event was conceived as a platform to preserve indigenous music and revive its culture in order to save it from going into extinction. She disclosed that the event will in future move from one social club to another as an effective way of promoting indigenous music in the state.
"Unfortunately, Covid-19 affected this year's edition. But we are resolute to sustain the spirit. Without music there will be no life. I thank my father for his pace setting initiatives. But for COVID-19, the event would have been greater in terms of participants and activities," she said.
She recalled that in the past, music made Lagos State to be a force to reckon with in the world of music and its trappings, but which are no longer in existence.
According to her, 'there is a need to have musicians of old to continue to have relevance in the Lagos musical circle. The likes of Ebenezer Obey, KSA and others have been supportive. This is not a day for speech, but to honour the old musicians and their great works.'
President UP ASSO Alhaji Oluropo Owolabi, who was represented by Otunba Bayo Babatunde (General Secretary), said the request by Bimbo to use the venue for the event made sense to him and other members because it was in line with the club's view and direction.
"UP ASSO is a club that is about to relaunch and take over the space. It is not just a social club but also has other facilities. We believe in the efforts of Mr Femi Esho, borne out of interest and sense of self-responsibility to preserve our music. UP ASSO will continue to support the effort," he said.
Juju music crooner, Wale Thompson of the La la le Friday fame also used the evening to thrill his old fans and the audience. Available at the entrance to the hall, were CDs of top Nigerian and Ghanaian musicians such as Fela Anikulapo, Ebenezer Obey, Rex Jim Lawson, I K Dairo, Eddy Okonta, ET Mensah and Ramblers Dance Band among others for guests to pick for a fee.
The late Adejumo earned the father of Nigerian comedy title over five decades in the entertainment industry.
His passage in September 2018 in his Ilesa, Osun State hometown at 81 signaled the end of a significant chapter in the history of the Nigerian film industry.
Adejumo alongside other dramatists like Hubert Ogunde, Kola Ogunmola, Oyin Adejobi and Duro Ladipo popularised theater and television acting in Nigeria.
The late thespian also laid the foundation for theatre and comedy that has taken Nigeria's creative industry by storm.
While his comic and drama series are viewed stereotyped in terms of delivery, it was widely accepted by fans including those that couldn't communicate in Yoruba language.
Years after he dominated the theatre landscape, Baba Sala's name remained synonymous with comedy even in death.
Born on May 17, 1937, Baba Sala started out as a civil servant and a sanitary inspector.
He also worked as a part-time teacher and in the late evenings, he would transform into a highlife musician.
By 1964 he was the head of a group known as Federal Rhythm Dandies. The band was the toast of Nigerian elites.
The comedian discovered, tutored and mentored the lead guitarist who would later become known as King Sunny Ade, KSA. By 1969, Moses Olaiya had become a full-time professional theatre comedian after he disbanded his Moses Olaiya Concert Party. He founded the Moses Olaiya International Alawada Theatre Limited shortly after and together they travelled extensively round Nigerian towns and cities.
"Drama was in my blood. I was a drummer. Sunny Ade liked playing guitar. I taught him how to play guitar and he was very good at it. I am proud of him. Sunny Ade's ambition was to play drums. He said that it was not in him to act. I felt that I should concentrate on acting and leave Sunny Ade to drumming and playing guitar. That was why I gave him my drum and musical instruments," he said in an interview with PM News in 2011.
KSA also acknowledged the late comic actor as his mentor during his 70th birthday party in 2016.
"Baba Sala is my boss and he would continue to be my boss for life. I owe him that gratitude for life. I was playing percussion in his band and he was playing guitar and a couple of instruments. I was in charge of the music in the drama section, playing Conga. He actually prompted me to go into music with a proviso that I should go and if after nine months, I found it tough, I should come back. He told me, go and try and that if does not work, come back."
On the instruction of the then Premier of the Western Region, the sage and Yoruba leader, the revered Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the comedian got a one-year contract of drama sketches at the Western Nigeria Television, WNTV. He berthed with Alawada Series on WNTV and later on NTA Ibadan every Wednesday between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. In a short time, his fame knew no bounds.
The legendary actor wrote all episodes of his drama series and also took on lead character regularly.
Baba Sala's relationship with Awolowo was enviable; the sage ensured he got him his first telephone among other privileges.
"My first telephone was a gift from Awolowo. There was a time I went to Lagos and I saw Awolowo and he asked me if I had telephone. I told him that I did not have. He then said that it was bad that I did not have a telephone. He then bought a telephone for me and asked the NITEL people to go and install it in my house. That ensured that the two of us spoke any time we wanted," Baba Sala told PM News in an interview in 2011.
The legendary actor had several drama series on NTA Ibadan. They include 'Orun Mooru,' 'Aare Agbaye,' and 'Mosebolatan,' which starred late magician, Professor Peller.
During one of his most famous interviews, published in PM News in 2011, he revealed that he had 18 wives and 50 children. But nonetheless, he was a family man to the core and a doting dad.
His son, Emmanuel, also told Premium Times that his father was a 'selfless dad.'
"My dad was a very nice man who loved all his children equally. He always wanted the best for all of us (his children), he was always ready to give up anything for his children. His name also opened doors for us and we are thankful for that."
The comedian sank into the background after enjoying patronage and limelight for decades owing to ill health and dwindling fortunes.
His health condition came to the fore in November 2017 during a press briefing organised in Lagos to shed light on his biography.
The book, 'The Triumph of Destiny,' which was co-authored by Babatunde Akinola, Collins Oyedokun, and Kunle Ajani, was launched at the Eko Hotels in Lagos December 2017. The turnout was unimpressive.
Baba Sala was also one of the first Nigerian filmmakers to be affected negatively by the activities of movie pirates.
Premium Times had reported how his first movie, Orun Mooru released in 1982, was pirated and how it affected him adversely.
He said then, "Initially, we did it on 36mm and later reduced it to 16mm. This film, unknown to us, was dubbed by some wicked people and pirated as original. I had never experienced such a disappointment in my life. I was shocked to the marrow and only God knew how I survived paralysis at this period. I was cheated and left shattered. For the realisation of this dream, I had gone to borrow over N1.5 million from a bank to see me through the business. You can imagine how much that translates to in the present day, I automatically became indebted, and I sold most of my properties to settle the debt."
His oldest son, Deji Adejumo, listed the Awada Spot in Ibadan; Alawada Standard Hotel, Ilesa; Alawada Records, Ibadan; and Ibukun Alawada Photo magazine as some of his father's investments which had to be sold off.
Baba Sala picked the first award for his film Mosebolatan, at the Performing Art Awards Night (1986 edition). The Nigerian Television Authority and the then Concord Press of Nigeria organised it. His other blockbuster movies include: Aare Agbaye, Agba Man, Obe 'Gbona, Return Match, Diamond and Ana Gomina.
In 1978, Nigeria's then military head of state, Olusegun Obasanjo, conferred him with the Member of the Order of the Niger (MON) title.
Like most Nigerian legends, the late Baba Sala did not earn the much-deserved recognition during his lifetime.
"The Osun state government last paid him attention about 10 years ago," his son revealed.
"But, recently the government has not done much for him despite repeated calls. Piracy really dealt him a heavy blow and set him back. My father moved on with life and brought happiness into many homes. I want people to remember my father for his good works and comedy. That's all."

HFFG is proud to be the convener of Goal 5
About the CSO Platform on SDGs
The Ghana Civil Society (CSO) Platform on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was established in October 2015 to ensure more coordinated civil society efforts in achieving the SDGs in Ghana. The CSOs platform was institutionalised in May 2016 and includes more than 150 member organisations, consisting of coalitions, associations, unions, community-based organisations, local, national and international non-governmental organisations, and religious groups. Membership cuts across the 216 districts of Ghana and is divided into 17 SDG sub-platforms, one for each of the 17 goals. Hope for Future Generations (HFFG) is a member of the platform and the co-convener for the SDG 5 platform.
Vision and Mission of the Platform
The vision of the CSOs platform is to be the coordinating platform for CSOs in Ghana in pursuit of achieving the SDGs by 2030. The CSOs platform's mission is to bring civil society organisations across Ghana together to foster joint efforts, partnerships with key stakeholders and effective advocacy for achieving the SDGs at the national, regional and international levels.
The governing body of the CSOs platform is a 34-member National Steering Committee(SC) made up of a convener and one appointed co-convener from each of the 17sub-platforms – HFFG is the co-convenor of the SDG 5 platform. HFFG and its co-convenor are therefore responsible for coordinating activities and joint efforts of the sub-platforms, and also represent the sub-platforms. All conveners are national CSOs; co-conveners and members are a combination of international, national and local non-governmental organisations. Allconveners, co-conveners and members are organisations with a proven trackrecord of implementing projects and activities related to the SDGs.
The daily activities of the CSOs platform are coordinated by a coordinator with support from co-chairpersons.
The platform is contributing to achieving the SDGs by:
Building Partnerships and Strong Collaboration
Public Awareness/Information Sharing on the SDGs
SDG Data Advocacy
Localising the SDGs

The first Gramophone Awards took place in 1977 and every year since we've given the classical record industry a kind of health check, singling out the finest music-making from a 12-month period and celebrating the musicians who were making waves. This year, 12 months from the Awards' 40th anniversary, is no exception. Sure, things have changed over those four decades – earlier musics – from the Renaissance to the Baroque – have assumed a major role in which the industry chooses to record. After all, much of it – though many centuries old – has the allure of the new. This is music that in many cases is being heard again after a sleep of hundreds of years. And in the Orchestral category, a much broader representation of orchestras and ensembles is on display, though there is still that vital element of the 'health check' that allows us to evaluate the musical chemistry between an orchestra and its music direction (this year we can put a finger on the pulse of the relationship between the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Andris Nelsons, the Seattle Symphony and Ludovic Morlot, the Hallé and Sir Mark Elder, the Staatskapelle Berlin and Daniel Barenboim and, with a little poignancy and regret, between the Orchestra Mozart and Claudio Abbado).
As I wrote last year, we seem to be living in an age of great pianism – with Igor Levit, Bertrand Chamayou, Stephen Hough Jonathan Plowright and Yevgeny Sudbin flying the flag in the Instrumental category supplemented in the Concerto category by Maria João Pires (a winner last year) and the stupendous Daniil Trifonov there's little cause for concern.
In annual medical mode, it's also worth pointing out how many younger artists are represented in the pages that follow – the perspicacity of BBC Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme has clearly borne fruit with the appearance of many of NGA alumni. Igor Levit, Maxim Rysanov, Quatuor Ebène, Alina Ibragimova, Janine Jansen and Alice Coote all feature.
The process that produced this shortlist of 72 recordings (six in each of 12 categories) drew on all the Editor's Choices (10 from each of 13 issues) supplemented by any recordings which our reviewers wanted to champion individually. This was voted on by specialist juries and this shortlist was created. The September issue of Gramophone (which is published on August 15) further narrows these recordings down to three per category, with the 12 category winners revealed online on August 22. The Gramophone Classical Music Awards ceremony takes place in London on September 15 and there we will name our special awards including Lifetime Achievement, Artist of the Year, Young Artist of the Year, Label of the Year and Recording of the Year.
Once again we're delighted to be producing this digital magazine in association with our friends at Qobuz and most of the recordings here contain direct links to Qobuz where you can sample the music-making. Listening to this vast array of outstanding recordngs has been an enormously pleasurable way of spending the summer, and we hope you too will find much to enjoy too. James Jolly July 2016

I recently spent the evening with my sister's family as they rode the waves of grief. They were reeling from the loss of an entire family of friends, gunned down in an unimaginable act of violent terror. There have been and will be tears of anguish, the constant questioning of why and how this can have happened, and those other questions—How will I go to the park when I've always gone there with my best friend? How will I wake up tomorrow and be forced to realize this isn't a nightmare?
The teenage girl had nicknamed herself "the Moment." She was unique and happy and comfortable in her own skin. She made people laugh. She loved—she simply loved, because that's who she was.
In the middle of the night her uncle, fragile before military service and destroyed afterwards, came into her house and gunned down her family, then left to wreak his destruction on others, leaving seven holes in countless hearts.
Some humans are vulnerable to evil.
And yet people are basically, inherently good. The outpouring of concern, of heart-felt compassion and love, has been amazing to witness. When we focus the spotlight of attention on such a tragedy, as happens too often these days, our hearts crack open a little more. We feel each others' grief.
In the face of heartache and loss, with hearts wide open and in suffocating pain, we have two choices: we can respond by shutting down, by closing off, by building another layer on top of our hearts. Or we can move through the pain, and in the depth of our feeling realize the deep love that binds us all. Our hearts can soften in the crucible of despair and become more pure and beautiful because of it.
The innocents who seem to sacrifice themselves every day in more or less public ways seem to be singing out from the other side: don't lose faith. We are still here and we still love. Be happy and be kind to one another. And simply love.

p.s. MORE. Open that PYHO wider.
Thank you for opening your heart and letting the rest of us know that we are not alone in our daily struggles.
Thanks for sharing, Amy. It's good to hear of families that have been through separation and come through it together on the other side.
Thanks so much for sharing, Amy. I'm actually plowing through Parenthood right now too - and have just one more episode and then I'm caught up.
I'm so happy your story has a happy ending - even though I'm sure there are still hard days. Glad your fighting!
"My only explanation is that same enormous grace...delivered moment by moment in prayers whispered and cried out, by me, by Mike, by plenty of people who love us. Grace that gave us each the courage to trust and to forgive, little bit by little bit. "
To me, that was the absolute most important thing you wrote and an important reminder to everyone who is feeling bitterness in their lives.
I am so sorry to hear of your family's struggles. I pray with you that all will be mended.
So hard to be in that moment. I had one of those, many years ago. I still can't say I'm glad it happened, but I am glad that we decided to make things work, hard as it was.
So proud of you for opening up and sharing this story even though it was more than likely a terrifying thing to do. Positive someone needed to read it. That's the good thing about this whole blogging thing - it reminds us we are not alone. Keep sharing your story & spreading hope. Love you friend.
If we all could be honest with ourselves, I think it would be surprising how many of us could write this same story. It was very brave of you to share, but even braver to choose to listen to the words and whispers that brought you back to being under one roof. Marriage is many things, and TOUGH has to be in the top five akas. Hugs and continued prayers that your family comes back together stronger and wise than it was before.
You showed your family an excellent lesson. You don't give up when things get hard! You dealt with whatever was going on by working it out in your own way and own time. I would make sure the kids know how hard you leaned on faith and prayer during that time. Glad you are a family of five again!!
After struggling to make things work , maybe for too long, we have decided we need a time out. I have friends who are opening their lives and home to me and I am leaving for a few months. There is part of me that is so afraid I won't be able to come back home! It's wonderful to hear testimony that there is life on the other side! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story!

Rod Driver
Column from the Warwick Beacon, April 12, 1988
Smoking Legislation
Some 50 million Americans can attest that nicotine is a particularly addictive drug. Many who have been treated for addiction to more than one drug have actually found tobacco the hardest to beat.
Nicotine is also a "gateway" drug to marijuana, cocaine, and heroin. As many as 50 percent of youngsters who start smoking before age 15 go on to other drugs.
And statistically nicotine is our most deadly drug. Some 3,000 Americans die per year as a direct result of the use of illegal drugs. Another 6,000 die from AIDS which is often spread by contaminated needles used for illegal drugs.
But the death toll to lung cancer, emphysema, heart attacks and other ailments caused by ordinary tobacco exceeds 300,000 per year.
Most addictions occur in young people, and tobacco companies recognize this. As Rep. Mike Synar, D-OK, points out "they lose 1.5 million smokers a year who have to be replaced: 350,000 to death, and the rest because they quit."
So tobacco advertising is directed at young people. Notice the pictures in the ads -- handsome, happy, sophisticated young adults -- and the free samples distributed at rock and roll concerts.
(Some of the promotion is for chewing tobacco. Recent studies in Alaska, Arkansas, and Louisiana, indicate that in some areas as many as 2O percent of grade-school children now use chewing tobacco.)
Apart from the health risks which smokers accept for themselves, their smoke increases the risk of lung cancer and other lung ailments in those around them.
Rhode Island's "Workplace Smoking Pollution Control Act," adopted in 1986, has helped many Rhode
Islanders. It requires that employers adopt a policy to protect nonsmokers. And where employers have adopted total smoking bans and sponsored programs to help nicotine addicts break the habit, both smokers and nonsmokers have benefited.
Enforcement of the "Workplace Smoking Pollution Control Act" is handled through a complaint process. An employee who believes his or her employer is failing to protect the rights of nonsmokers as required by law sends a written and signed complaint to the Department of Health.
The department follows up with a phone call or letter to the employer, and the problem is usually resolved without further incident. The occasional case requiring further action is referred to the office of the Attorney General.
An older Rhode Island law on "Smoking in Public Places," adopted in 1977, bans smoking in theaters, libraries, museums, busses, schools, supermarkets, and hospitals unless "confined to areas separated from those used by the general public." The same law also provides that eating facilities with a capacity of 50 or more "shall have separate seating for nonsmokers and smokers."
Bars, nightclubs, and privately-sponsored social affairs are exempted. But this law is vague about enforcement.
If you are bothered by smoking in a supermarket, or if you have trouble finding the nonsmoking area in a restaurant, it is unclear where you should turn for enforcement of the law.
A bill presently before the R.I. General Assembly (88-H 9125) would establish a complaint-based enforcement mechanism like that in the "workplace" act. It would also expand the list of public places where smoking is banned to include retail stores, airports, and the enclosed areas of bus depots and railway stations.
Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the proposed law is its total ban on smoking in elementary and secondary schools.
Drug addiction is a major problem in Rhode Island. State and volunteer agencies are campaigning to keep young people away from drugs--in and out of school. And the legislature is once again considering harsher penalties for drug possession and distribution.
But the problem starts with cigarettes.
Few people turn to marijuana, heroin, or cocaine without using tobacco first. And 90 percent of today's smokers started before age 19; 60 percent before age 13.
The House Committee on Health, Education and Welfare held a public hearing on 88-H 9125 on March 16. The bill was opposed by the Tobacco Institute and by representatives of some teachers' unions who felt that smoking in the schools should be decided by collective bargaining.
Testifying in favor of the bill were representatives from the Department of Health, the Attorney General's office, the R.I. Lung Association, the R.I. Heart Association, the R.I. Cancer Society, and the Pawtucket
Heart Health Program. (The private associations would offer school employees and others special programs to help them stop smoking or at least to make it through the school hours without nicotine.)
One might expect that with all the public concern about drug abuse in general and the health effects of smoking in particular, reasonable laws against smoking in public places would be easily approved. But that is to overlook the power of the tobacco interests.


Mariah is waiting for the women to tell Quad she doesn't run the show -- and for the truth to prevail.
This episode of #Married2Med was truly telling. Watching the ladies have dinner at Heavenly's brought everything into perspective for me. Although it's truly disappointing to see the lack of loyalty and candor, it's enlightening to know where I stand with each and everyone of these ladies. It was good to see that Dr. Simone values our history, and understands that their is always two sides to every story.
To be perfectly frank, I'm still waiting on one of these intelligent women, that love to squeeze lemons and preach about sisterhood to explain to Quad, that she's being petty and should move on to more productive things. They should have conveyed to Quad, that after being in this group less than a year, she does not dictate, determine, or decipher who comes and goes.
When Dr. Jackie ran to comfort Quad at the dinner, I wish she would have explained what a true friendship is. I was waiting on her to say how she and Dr. Simone would never exploit their friendship, and disrespect each other for fame, sympathy, or attention.
I totally agree with Dr. Jackie acknowledging that, even when I'm not present my name and likeness is. That alone tells the true story. No matter what you do right, wrong, or indifferent, some people will not like you or have anything positive to say about you. That's not a true reflection of you, that actually says more about them.
I'm truly flabbergasted by the ill intentions of many of these women. The same women that I have always shown the utmost respect, recognition, and atonement for, have purposefully attempted to exile me from this circle. Interesting!

2 apartments damaged after fire on Washington Street (video)
SZYMON TWAROG, Press Staff
Published 12:00 am EST, Sunday, February 20, 2011
Viktoria Sundqvist
MIDDLETOWN -- Middletown firefighters battled a second-alarm blaze Sunday evening at the apartments on top of Ursel's Web and the McHugh, Chapman & Montalbano lawfirm.
Officials were called to 140 Washington St. after getting complaints from neighbors of smoke exiting the building. Once on scene, they discovered the complexity of the blaze, officials said.
"It got into the walls and floors," said Acting Fire Marshal Al Santostefano. "Once it gets in there, you got to start chopping sheetrock. It really makes it difficult to get to."
The fire originated on a third-floor apartment and officials were able to contain damage to that apartment and the apartment right below it, Santostefano said. No cause for the fire was available Sunday evening.
For the owners of Ursel's Web, news could not have come sooner as an alert employee heard her employer's address repeated over a police radio.
"My employee Mary heard it on the scanner and we raced down as quickly as we could," said Ursel Shaffer, who is celebrating 30 years at the location.
Fire had not made its way to her shop, but the fire department advised her to take precautions anyway.
"It hasn't made it in there yet, but they are afraid that water might come through the floors," said Shaffer. "We covered our customer's artwork to make sure nothing gets damaged."
Assuming there is no additional damage, the store has plans to open for its regurarly scheduled hours, Schaffer said.
No injuries were reported and no one was home during the time of the blaze, according to Santostefano. However, one lane of Washington Street west was closed and blocked by fire trucks and other emergency vehicles while police directed traffic.
A utility crew from Connecticut Light & Power pulled up to the scene shortly before 7 p.m.

A review of A Writer's San Francisco by Eric Maisel
Reviewed by Liz Hall-Downs
A Writer's San Francisco: A Guided Journey for the Creative Soul
by Eric Maisel
with drawings by Paul Madonna
New World Library
2006, hardcover,144 pages, ISBN 1-57731-546-4
Eric Maisel, described by his publisher as 'America's foremost creativity coach' has written this delightful little book with, it seems, two types of readers in mind. The first is the person who knows and loves the city of San Francisco, and the second is the writer – or would-be writer – seeking to access their innate creativity and conquer writers' block. The thirty individual short essays profile 'inspiring writing locations' in the San Francisco area, a smattering of literary history, and tips and strategies to 'inspire writers to write'. I confess that the notion of a 'creativity coach' did inspire some 'only in America' musings in this reader, but I was quickly won over by the author's warm, friendly tone and his truisms about the creative process that permeate the entire text.
In fact, I haven't enjoyed a book on writing this much since encountering Stephen King's On Writing some years ago. When I got to the end of A Writer's San Francisco, I actually felt compelled to go back to the beginning and reread it immediately, such is its charm and inspirational qualities. Along with the author's own musings on the literary (and his own personal) history with various sites around the city – including the Golden Gate Bridge, the famed City Lights Bookstore and the Bernal Heights area – the text is laden with helpful aphorisms for the creative soul who feels 'stuck'. Quotable passages abound. This, for example: 'Nature gives us thirty years or a hundred, a quill pen or its equivalent, and odd thoughts that need to settle on paper or else turn to dust' (p.4). In discussing the city's demographics, Maisel writes that San Francisco – like Paris – 'is an important, well-marked stop on the bohemian international highway', and cites the city's rich history, from the bohemian enclaves of the 1890s, to the rise of the Beat poets, to the Summer of Love, as proof of his claim that San Francisco is home to more intelligent, thoughtful, creative and non-conformist people than just about any other city in the US, a fact made all the more remarkable given the small size of the city (46.7 square miles), compared with, for example, Los Angeles (469 square miles) or Houston (579 square miles). The effect of this is that 'smart people with ideas are crammed together and stand in line at the same cafes, go to the same outdoor film festivals, … shop at the same farmers' markets, and frequent the same bars' (p.46). Essentially, Maisel's advice to the writer is that this city is a true 'home' for the creative soul, and that its bohemian qualities create inspiration and a sense of continuity with the family of creative humanity.
Maisel also gets down to the nitty gritty of looking at the kinds of people that become writers. He gives the reader permission to embrace their writerly self, with all its bizarre appetites and creeping paranoias. Some more quotable quotes: 'There are reasons why writers who write a lot, as Rudyard (Kipling) did, have big appetites. They are dancing bundles of desire. Writers who write crave sex, peanuts, and Nobel Prizes. They crave; they itch; they lust; they are alive. Whether they manage this melange of desires well is a separate matter. But without this dancing, pressing desire they would sit quietly like old folks lined up in the corridor of a nursing home. Honor your goal to create a world by burning with desire. Be incandescent – or nothing will happen' (p.88). Maisel even has practical advice for the stay-at-home parent writer about how to find the time to write while keeping the kids supervised and occupied. He points out that the writer who has no time to write will be miserable, and this in turn will make his or her family miserable. 'Writing is a writer's prime parenting skill. If you don't write, you get sad, angry, unhinged, gloomy, pessimistic, and morose. By writing first thing in the morning, as your children play or toddle off to school, you put yourself in the mood to smile at them when next you see them. Writing is a tonic, an elixir, even if it goes badly, because even if it goes badly at least you have been writing' (p.92).
All writers instinctually know these things, but it's terrific to see it all laid out in black and white by a 'successful' writer, who openly confesses to the same difficulties and anxieties as the novice. Maisel's text makes one want to write, and to write better, more consistently, more religiously. In acknowledging the free, nonconformist nature of the creative soul, Maisel helps the reader give themselves permission to create, and to create abundantly.
Each chapter of the book is prefaced by one of Paul Madonna's lovely drawings of various aspects of the city, covering not only architecture, but also odd views of back alleys, old cars, artist's studios, roof gables, and webs of electrical and trolley car wires, all of which communicate the city's unique charm. I've never been to San Francisco – although, like msot western writers I've always been aware of it as a kind of ShangriLa – but after reading this I feel I know the city better and, more importantly, can find ways to harness the type of energy Maisel claims San Francisco emanates for my own creative purposes.

The Mets are coming off a franchise-worst 25-4 loss against the Nationals where pitcher Steven Matz struggled on the mound and didn't make it out of the first inning, but it appears he might have been suffering from pain in his throwing arm.
New York manager Mickey Callaway revealed Wednesday Matz had some pain and discomfort in his forearm and that the left-hander will be examined, likely with an MRI, in New York.
"He did mention after the game that he had a little tightness or discomfort in his forearm," Callaway said, per the New York Post. "I think we will get him checked out and go from there."
Matz's start Tuesday was the shortest of his career with two outs and seven runs allowed. Matz said after the game he had been dealing with a "dead arm phase" for about three starts. Callaway acknowledged Wednesday that the Mets knew of the dead arm, but the forearm discomfort was new.
"There had been no discomfort like we heard after the game last night," Callaway said. "But he was dealing with the dead arm a little bit, which every pitcher goes through. We'll get him checked out and go from there."
Matz's ERA has gone up from 3.31 to 4.35 since July 12, the Post notes. He entered last night's game with a 3.79 ERA and left with a 4.35.

I often try to consume the sugar-free cycle, with more cocoa, no milk and all kinds of wonderful things. I admit it is not as good as it can, but in the meantime I stop my cravings!
Antibodies: Because cocoa beans have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, a square of black chocolate a day protects the skin from the harmful effects of the environment.
Memory: It has been scientifically proven that black chocolate also helps to improve memory.
Dark chocolate has a high antioxidant content that protects the body from free radicals and helps eliminate toxins.
Heart protection: Swiss scientists have found that if black chocolate is used moderately, it reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease – cocoa butter found in chocolate prevents plaque from forming in the arteries.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Virginia forward Mamadi Diakite says he is forgoing his final season of eligibility to make himself available for the NBA draft.
Diakite made the announcement Wednesday on his Instagram page. He's the fourth member of the national champions to make the move, joining De'Andre Hunter, Ty Jerome and Kyle Guy.
The 6-foot-9 Diakite, from Guinea in Africa, was a hero in Virginia's Elite Eight victory against Purdue, taking a pass from Kihei Clark and hitting a short jump shot at the buzzer of regulation to send the game into overtime.
For the season, he averaged 7.4 points on 55% shooting, 4.4 rebounds and led the Cavaliers with 63 blocked shots. Diakite will have until May 29 to either decide to pursue the NBA or return to school.

On February 10, 2014, President Karen Lawrence sent an email to the entire campus community formally announcing the new Smoke-Free Policy that the college is set to begin implementing in August 2015. The decision was the result of a recommendation made by the Smoking Policy Task Force, an Ad-Hoc Committee chaired by Polly Waldman, after a ten-month long examination process that began in April 2012.
The request for the creation of the separate committee, which was comprised of students, faculty and staff, arose out of several issues with the current policy on campus regarding smoking. These included students, faculty and staff not abiding by the policy as it is now, and the main problems of second-hand smoke and litter on campus that resulted. Along with considering various other strategies for moving toward a healthier campus atmosphere, the task force also spent the examination period determining the feasibility of becoming a smoke-free campus.
Under the current smoking policy at Sarah Lawrence, smoking is prohibited inside any college building or residence hall (which is also illegal under New York State Law), as well as within twenty-five feet of any college building or campus walkway. Fines for violating the policy range from $50 to $100, depending on whether or not one is inside a residential building. Though attempts are made to keep certain areas, like the patio of The Pub and the front of the library, specifically smoke-free, these efforts are often unsuccessful.
In the process of forming strategies to make the smoking policy of this school more effective, one of many factors examined by the task force was how other comparable colleges and universities have dealt with smoking on their campuses. One comparable institution, Vassar College, is similarly moving towards adopting a smoke-free policy in the fall of 2015. Another comparable institution, Connecticut College, has a twenty feet rule as well as designated areas. Both NYU and Barnard College already have smoke-free campuses, and public institutions in the state of New York, such as the CUNY and SUNY schools, are required to be smoke-free under state law.
There were several different options considered within the task force throughout the process, which initially ranged from assigning designated areas around campus in which people would be able to smoke, to building new structures such as gazebos for smokers to use, to banning smoking altogether. These options were eventually narrowed down to assigning designated areas or going completely smoke-free.
Along with weekly meetings for the task force, two town hall meetings were held to hear opinions from other members of the community in late October. Along with the town hall meetings, a survey was circulated throughout the campus community in the fall of 2012, and garnered responses from 1,011 students, faculty and staff. In terms of tobacco use at Sarah Lawrence, the survey found that 53% of students never smoke, while the statistic was 85% for faculty and 78% for administrators, staff and vendors. The survey also included a question on the perceived amount of smoking on campus, which was seen to be higher than the actual level of tobacco use.
While 85% of respondents agreed that they were bothered by second-hand smoke on campus, 42% of respondents still agreed that the current policy should remain, and 27% of respondents preferred designated outdoor areas. Only 20% of respondents favored a smoking ban on campus. In terms of how the community will respond to a smoke-free campus, while 40% of students who responded to the survey said that they would abide by the policy, 49% said that they would find ways to use tobacco anyway, and 8% said that they would consider changing schools.
Reaction to the policy among students, as well as faculty and staff, has been mixed. Nate Montalto '15, chair of the undergraduate student senate, said that despite this split, the appropriate response would be for the entire student body is to accept the policy. Discussion in senate has been geared toward, "how can senate help, what can senate do...this is going to be a policy, so how can we make it as equitable and fair as possible." On the possibility for student action against the policy he said, "To be honest, the time for organization and students providing their voices was last year." The Smoke-Free Policy Implementation Committee, directed by Mary Hartnett and devoted to the enforcement of this new policy, has already begun meetings in preparation for the policy change.


My husband had a object thrown at him on our property by a juvenile. he instinctively threw it back. The juvenile's father then came to our property and attacked my husband with pepper spray,badly injusring my husband, injuring myself and damaging our property. The CPS have charged the father with common assault and did not intend to prosecute for the criminal damage or the assault on myself.(By her own admission, the lawyer hadn't read all of the file when she recommended the charge). After I complained, they agreed to prosecute for the criminal damage but said, and I quote, that to charge with the assault by transferred malice on myself would be 'over-egging the pudding'. My husband has also been cautioned for throwing the object back at the juvenile but apparently there is insufficient evidence to charge the juvenile with throwing the object in the first place. Do the CPS have any idea how their decisions affect people...do they even care? I totally agree with your page title od 'Criminal Protection Service'. How come the defendant can choose their own solicitor but the victim is stuck with the CPS. I am totally disgusted with the CPS. Why on earth was the charging decision taken away from Custody Sargeants?
