By Gautaman Bhaskaran
Somehow, films this year did not excite me as much they had in the past. But, anyway, here are five Indian language movies that moved me for a variety of reasons.
The Song of Scorpions: Anup Singh's The Song of Scorpions in Hindi – which I watched at the Dubai International Film Festival early December – fascinated me for its simple story and brilliant performances by Irrfan Khan and Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani. Set in the golden sands of Rajasthan, the movie is a folktale narrating the life of a woman, Nooran (Farahani), who has this unbelievable power to draw the poison out of one bitten by a deadly scorpion found in the desert. She sings to get the venom flowing out. It is into her life that Aadam (Khan), a camel trader, comes, only to create a web of deceit, jealousy, anger and revenge. I think Singh has this unique ability to fathom the human mind, and, in a way, his plot resembles a Shakespearean drama, minus the dramatics. For, both Aadam and Nooran display a kind of gentleness that will put to shame the loud histrionics of many Indian actors. And in a quite sort of way, they push Singh's narrative into mesmeric light and shade.
Bareilly Ki Barfi: Ashwini Iyer Tiwari (who earlier gave us Nil Battey Sannata) goes to a small town in Uttar Pradesh for her latest outing, Bareilly Ki Barfi (also in Hindi) – where we see Ayushmann Khurrana (as a printing press owner), Rajkummar Rao (a salesman in a sari shop) and Kriti Sanon, who works for the electricity department. Sanon's Bitti Mishra – a young woman whose cigarette-smoking, boozing and carefree temperament make her most undesirable for the marriage market – lives in Bareilly, where prospective grooms prefer a bride who will be content being closeted in the kitchen rolling rotis. Tiwari underlines how the country's small town culture is trying to break free of its age-old shackled existence. Bitti is a free-spirited person seeking a partner who will not insist on keeping his wife within the walls of a home. And when she meets Chirag Dubey (Khurrana), the author of a novel titled Bareilly Ki Barfi – an account of a woman who has an uncanny resemblance to Bitti – Cupid strikes! It is a wonderful study of changing small town attitudes.
Dhananjoy: In a world where the debate on capital punishment is raging, Arindam Sil's Bengali film, Dhananjoy, is a powerful critique of what I have been calling "State sponsored murder". The work, based on a true incident, is immensely disturbing, and has immense social ramifications. Sil's movie opened on the eve of the 13th anniversary of Dhananjoy Chatterjee's hanging in Kolkata on August 14, 2004. The young man had aged parents, a brother and a wife, and in what seemed like a heartless action, the noose was placed around his neck on his birthday. He was 39. The film narrates how two lawyers argue for the reopening of the case – producing evidence to show that Dhananjoy might not have committed the crime he was convicted of. Throughout his 14-year-incarceration (which by itself could have been a full sentence), he had said a million times that he did not rape and murder 18-year-old school-going Hetal Parekh, who lived with her parents and brother in one of south Kolkata's high-rise residential complexes. He also said that he was being punished for being poor.
Vikram Vedha: Pushkar-Gayathri's Vikram Vedha (Tamil), starring two very different kinds of actors, tops in script and performance. The story of a cat-and-mouse game played by a ruthless encounter cop and a hardened-by-circumstance don may not be exactly oven fresh, but the ability of the husband and wife team directing the movie to adapt the age-old, but timeless folklore of King Vikramadityan and Vedhalam (Betal) to the crime and criminality of modern times is what makes the work sparkle. The narrative is stylishly crisp, the craft flies, and the subtlety seen through the imaginative choice of colours (white, black and grey and the way they change on the costumes of the protagonists) as well as the unbelievable casualness of Vijay Sethupathi as gangster Vedha push the picture to the point of perfection. Or almost. Madhavan's (as the policeman Vikram) method acting translates into a power-packed affair. He does not have to take his shirt off or display his biceps; the firmness of his jaws says it all. Also, one should not miss the message: it lambasts without mincing words the horrors of extra-judicial killings in India, something the nation saw for the first time during the Emergency imposed by the Indira Gandhi government.
Take Off: Mahesh Narayanan's Malayalam work, Take Off, is crafted with precision and stays true to what happened in Iraq's Tikrit – where nurses from Kerala were held hostage in 2014. Sameera (Parvathy) is one among them, and India depends on her pluck and courage to lead the nurses to freedom. Two Hindi films – Airlift and Tiger Zinda Hai – are also about rescue missions in West Asia, but Take Off is miles ahead of them, because Narayanan makes sure his work is firmly rooted to reality. Parvathy is brilliant as the nurse who has to take care of her old parents back home, and her escape – as that of others with her – becomes singularly imperative.
Finally, here are my two consolation prizes. Avinash Das' debut Hindi feature, Anaarkali of Aarah drills into us a woman's right to say no, and it means no. In today's India, with men stalking women and trying to force an affirmative answer to their refusal, Das's work punches you in the face with its moral. Anurag Kashyap's Mukkabaaz, also in Hindi, explores communal obsessions like caste prejudices and cow slaughter in a nicely told plot.

text: hello all. apologies in advance for the long post. some years ago i joined a company with a terribly toxic atmosphere and for some reason, stayed for several years. in that time, i became a nervous wreck, could not sleep without medication and put on a pile of weight. in the last few years however i was fortunate to find a job that i love, in a workplace that, while not perfect, is still great. however, the damage all those unhappy years did is still with me. so after years of relative inactivity (i used to be very active in my twenties and early thirties due to the nature of my job) i am joining a gym for the first time. and nervous about it. so for those of you who go to a gym, what should i expect? i have terrible memories of PE at school, so i'm a bit apprehensive about things like, where to change, privacy, what sort of clothes do you need, do people judge you by the way you look, do you ever feel like you're on "display" or do people just ignore other people, can you just go in and do your thing without having to interact with a trainer, etc. i know my concerns must sound so juvenile and silly. but i really want to do this for myself and am struggling to overcome a deep-seated shyness and dislike of being "exposed". any advice would be much appreciated.

At a school like St. Mary's, sustainability is a concept that is emphasized in every sense of the word, from the green buildings to the recycling and composting bins put in place around campus. In many cases, science (e.g., physics or engineering) is combined with art to create something that is not only going to help the environment, but that is also visually appealing.
Starting on Jan. 23rd, and continuing until March 2nd, in an exhibition aptly named Remediate/Re-Vision: Public Artists Engaging in the Environment, 14 artists – including such notable names as Patricia Johanson, Jackie Brookner, and Natalie Jeremijenko – are displaying their work with the environment, from re-constructing and re-shaping wetlands to constructing floating islands. The artists are trained in a variety of fields, from basic drawing and painting to sculpture to architecture. A few artists are also trained in additional fields, including construction, environmental education, and theater.
Among the works presented are television screens, photographs, interviews, and, in a sense, short documentaries. In watching the interviews, any viewer can obtain a more in-depth sense of what the artists' intentions were when undertaking their respective projects. Patricia Johanson, an artist trained in architecture and public art, used her knowledge of both science and art to design morning-glory-shaped wetlands to treat water by removing organic pollutants and dissolving metals. They also contain water for no longer than 45 days after rainfall and clean runoff from the neighboring parking lot. In Johanson's view, science and art are parallel in the way they are explored, and one can be incorporated with the other to create an "artistic" way of making the environment a healthier place.
Several of the artists' works are very similar to Johanson's: creating something that will help with the water flow, in addition to looking artistic. An artist who was trained in theater, Lorna Jordan, created a large structure that has the form of a miniature watershed, as well as the vague form of a human torso. The structure looks like a type of Amphitheatre and is called the "Terraced Cascade," in that the terraces direct water, improving the ecology for the desert plants. Yet another artist, Natalie Jeremijenko, placed large red Xs on sidewalks in New York City, building a new type of urban habitat. The purpose of the Xs is to allow storm water to enter the deep soil that is found under the sidewalks and recycle, replenishing soil for trees several yards away.
Many of the artists have collaborated with various corporations and environmental agencies along the way, and a few have collaborated with one another as well, creating joint projects. On Monday, Jan. 30th, from 4:45-6:00 p.m., and on Tuesday, Jan. 31st, at 7:00 p.m., there will be presentations regarding the exhibition, given by art experts from Wave Hill, NY; and Allegheny College. Jennifer McGregor, who will be presenting on Monday, is the director of arts at Wave Hill, NY; and Amara Geffen, also presenting on Monday, is an art professor at Allegheny College and the director of Allegheny's Arts and Environmental Initiative, as well as director of the college's Center for Economic and Environmental Development. In addition to presenting on Monday, Professor Geffen will be presenting again on Tuesday.

Mobile Advertisers Have Online Gambling in Their Sights
Business Insider's research service BI Intelligence recently released a report on the state of the mobile gaming market, particularly in view of the move to free-to-play (F2P) monetization. The report noted how this transition will impact developers, such as increasing their marketing costs, and the pressure to acquire users with an open-mind towards in-app purchases, as well as the potential consequences from gamers who don't spend in-app.
Having said that, the online gambling market, especially mobile gaming apps, hold great revenue potential for developers. Mobile advertisers too can benefit immensely, an opportunity they have recognized as they accelerate their investment in mobile and online gambling.
Mobile Advertising Watch forecasts that the online gambling market will grow by 11 per cent through 2020. In 2014 alone, it generated a revenue of approximately $US37 billion, including revenue from casino gaming apps on mobile devices, laptops and PCs.
Data suggests that mobile casino gaming apps are a huge hit with smartphone users. As of February 2016, downloads of casino apps from the App Store grew by a massive 286 per cent year-on-year. At the same time, casino apps that don't use real money were also one of the categories that performed well in terms of cost per install (CPI). In 2015, the combined revenue generated by the top four mobile casino apps stood at over $645 million.
In this regard, it is safe to assume that the return on gambling apps – including those that don't use real money – is high enough to accommodate the escalating installation costs. Developers, for their part, seem gung-ho about creating exciting new mobile apps. With the availability of faster processors and the ability for larger screens and more compelling graphics, the potential to deliver memorable online gaming experiences has never been higher.

Jeh Johnson: United, NYSE problems not caused by 'nefarious' actor
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson says the glitches at United Airlines and the NYSE do not appear to be related to 'nefarious' activity. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said technical problems reported on Wednesday by United Airlines and the New York Stock Exchange were apparently not related to "nefarious" activity. "I have spoken to the CEO of United, Jeff Smisek, myself. It appears from what we know at this stage that the malfunctions at United and the stock exchange were not the result of any nefarious actor," Johnson said during a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank. "We know less about the Wall Street Journal at this point, except that their system is in fact up again," he added. Early on Wednesday morning, United flights were grounded after a router issue degraded connectivity in the airline's networks. Just as United was bringing its systems back on-line, trading on the New York Stock Exchange came to a halt due to a technical problem and the Wall Street Journal's website experienced errors.

Will is off work at the moment because of an operation to his knee. He damaged it playing football – I knew those rough games were a bad idea! I went to visit him today while the children were at school.
He gave me details of our half term holiday at one of the Center Parcs in Holland, which looks really fun. He also showed me all the family tree information that he's been entering onto his computer. So far he's put on the stuff that was researched by both of our grandfathers. This goes quite a long way back and also spreads out wide to include "interesting" people like Ben Nicholson and the Sackville-Wests. Then it'll need updating with two generations worth of children. Then all the foreign relatives need their sections including. THEN he can get onto the interesting part of seeing if he can discover anything new. It seems to be much easier nowdays, with all the information on the web, than it was a couple of decades ago, when you had to visit places and look in old books. Not as atmospheric perhaps. He's put what he's done so far on a genealogy website.

Percy G. Harris, the first African-American Iowa regent and an eminent Cedar Rapids family physician, has been a doctor to thousands of patients, as well as a healer to a much broader community.
On the occasion of his retirement from private practice in 1999, many noted that Harris would be missed because of his seemingly boundless empathy, not only for his patients, but also for every human being he meets. Former patients describe a doctor in step with the latest in diagnosis and treatment, but old-fashioned in the way he cared—a physician who could always spend time seeing to their emotional, as well as physical, health.
The first black person ever to intern at St. Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids in 1957, Harris served for more than 40 years with distinction on the staffs of both St. Luke's and Mercy Hospitals in Cedar Rapids. In 1976, he became chief of staff at St Luke's Hospital, where he led the initiative to offer open heart surgery services there. In his job as Linn County's first-ever medical examiner, Harris says he learned a lot about handling death with delicacy and concern for victims and their families and he learned about compassion, witnessing humanitarian outpouring of help and goodwill to people who suffered tragic losses.
Friends say Harris, now retired, used to worry excessively about his patients, that he would get by on only five hours of sleep, and that his idea of relaxation would be sitting up late at night poring over patient insurance forms.
Such devotion spilled over into his two terms of service on the Board of Regents, State of Iowa, and, in fact, Harris confesses he used to wind down at the end of a hard day by reading his regents meeting material. His attention paid off, with initiatives that ensured the best doctors were running UI Hospitals and Clinics and that the UI remained an institution that gives all Iowans a fair opportunity for a college education.
Since completing his service as regent, Harris has continued to be a faithful supporter of the UI's educational departments, medical programs, arts, and athletics. An unwavering advocate of the UI's medical center through membership in the Friends of the UIHC, Harris is also an active supporter of Hancher Auditorium and the athletic department's Golden Hawk Club.
Beloved because of his uncommon care and compassion, Harris was honored in 1996 as the NAACP's Outstanding Citizen, and in 1997, inducted into the Iowa African American Hall of Fame. In 1998, Mercy Medical Center awarded Harris its prestigious Gold-Headed Cane and title Medical Laureate for his medical leadership and eminence. In 2000, the Rotary Club of Cedar Rapids recognized Harris with its eighth annual award for community service.
Harris is a member of the UI Alumni Association's Old Capitol Club and a member of the UI Foundation's Presidents Club.

After the events that I told of in Nice & Blue, I was pulled from my IFB school and home schooled though high school graduation. I loved homeschooling for the most part, but didn't realize what effects it was having on my mindset and thinking. Everything I learned was taught from a biased viewpoint, whether it be BJU Press, Pensacola's A Beka Book, or other fundamentalist sources such as Vision Forum and No Greater Joy. For example, there was a 'world history' class in my junior year that spent the entire year not on the history of the world, but on church history, and particularly as it pertained to Martin Luther and Baptists. Everything else was trivialized. Remember the World Wars? Those would seem essential to world history, but they were mostly skipped over, save that Hitler was used as an example of what happens if fundamentalism fails. Yeah. Hitler was fundy gone liberal. I digress.
Enter my senior year of home school high, and I was faced with the decision of where to go to college. Now as a little background on the situation, both of my parents as well as myriad aunts, uncles, and cousins went to and/or graduated from BJU. It was expected that I, as the pastor's son, do the same, but I really didn't want to. I grew up on the grounds of that school (to a point) and really had no desire to go back, especially as a student. Upon asking my parents what they thought (as they were graciously footing the bill) I was told that "…it is your decision where you go to school, but we like Bob Jones…" So I did some research and decided that I wanted to go to a mostly unknown christian school in Arizona. My parents proceeded to look up the school and answer with a very firm "No", their reason being that the school was too 'liberal' and that "You can go anywhere, but Bob Jones is the best school there is!". They will swear up and down that they didn't pressure me into going to Bob Jones, but I felt that they did. I eventually relented and put in the application. It was accepted and I was set to go to BJU in the fall (That summer, I was scheduled to work at a christian summer camp a few hours from home, but that's another post.).
Since we have family on the way to BJU, we decided to leave early so that we could stop and visit. It was nice to see family, but the day before I was supposed to go and officially enter college life, I was locked away in a back room fighting with myself. I had a feeling in my gut that BJU was not a place that I should be, and that I was about to be led away into the makings of a horror movie. I felt that walking onto that campus and signing my life and free will over to them would be a terrible mistake. I didn't want to do it. Once again, when I brought this up to my parents, I was met with a strong support of BJU and a lack of support and respect for what I was feeling. "BJU is a wonderful school, and you're just nervous…" or "…You'll get over it quick enough." That didn't help at all. I felt totally alone.
I arrived on campus to check in on a saturday morning, still with the feeling that I shouldn't be there. I was closely followed by my watchful parents who kept up a continuous stream of babble about how old they felt being the parents of a student instead of students. I mostly ignored it. I checked in, got my student ID card and room assignment, and went to unload my things into my dorm. I was greeted by three room mates that I thought I might become friends with as I hadn't made a new friend since I was 11 and was looking forward to it. I was wrong. At no point in my stay did I get along well with my roomies. We were just too different. With that being as it was, I had no safe place to go to during my time there. My room wasn't safe, and I could never get any peace there. I eventually learned to either take my laptop to the stadium when it was deserted, or to leave campus and go to a nearby music store when I had time and needed space. Those were the only places that I could be reasonably alone.
My time at BJU is a long and detailed story. Unfortunately, I'm out of time for today, but I'll continue this in later posts.

Ezekiel 35
Prophecy Against Mount Seir1 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 a "Son of man b set your face c against d Mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 3 and say to it, Thus says the Lord God: e Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and f I will stretch out my hand against you, g and I will make you a desolation and a waste. 4 h I will lay your cities waste, and you shall become a desolation, and you shall know that I am the Lord. 5 Because i you cherished perpetual enmity and gave over the people of Israel to the power of the sword j at the time of their calamity k at the time of their final punishment, 6 therefore l as I live, declares the Lord God, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; m because you did not hate bloodshed, therefore blood shall pursue you. 7 n I will make Mount Seir a waste o and a desolation, and I will cut off from it p all who come and go. 8 And I will fill q its mountains with the slain. On your hills and in your valleys and in all r your ravines s those slain with the sword shall fall. 9 t I will make you a perpetual desolation, and u your cities shall not be inhabited. Then v you will know that I am the Lord. 10 "Because you said w 'These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and x we will take possession of them'—although the y Lord was there— 11 therefore z as I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you aa according to the anger and ab envy that you showed because of your hatred against them. And ac I will make myself known among them, when I judge you. 12 And you shall know that I am the Lord. ad "I have heard all the revilings that you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, 'They are laid desolate; ae they are given us to devour.' 13 And af you magnified yourselves against me ag with your mouth, and multiplied your words against me; I heard it. 14 Thus says the Lord God: ah While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate. 15 As you ai rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so I will deal with you; you shall be desolate, aj Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then ak they will know that I am the Lord.

And as if that weren't enough to get him into some serious trouble, he decided to kidnap his 2 year old sister as well.

Dear Friend,
One of the most important and gratifying parts of serving as Attorney General is the ability to protect Marylanders in tangible ways. I'd like to update you on some actions the Office of the Attorney General has taken recently to put an end to deceptive and harmful business practices.
Holding contractors accountable: This week, I announced that Noridian Healthcare Solutions has agreed to pay $45 million to compensate Maryland and the federal government for its poor performance that led to the botched rollout of the state health benefit exchange. This company never delivered what it promised, and as a result, tens of millions of taxpayer dollars were wasted, and thousands of Marylanders suffered delays and frustration when they tried to get the health care coverage they deserve. This settlement is a fair deal for taxpayers, with most of the money paid to Noridian being reclaimed, and shows that the performance was unacceptable and those responsible will be held accountable.
Stopping bogus cancer charities: Our office was part of a multi-state crackdown against four sham charities which fraudulently raised tens of millions in the name of assisting cancer patients, but which spent the money on executive salaries, cruises, concert tickets and fundraising expenses. The Cancer Fund of America, the Children's Cancer Fund of America, Cancer Support Services and the Breast Cancer Society were run by members of the same family and close associates. Two of them have been shut down, and we expect to close the other two soon.
Ending unlawful debt collection: We worked closely with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to put an end to harmful collection practices by one of the nation's largest banks, Chase Bank. The problem: Chase did not have the right safeguards in place when it sold its accounts to third-party companies who tried to collect. Names of Chase customers were wrong. Amounts were wrong, too. The accounts were too old. But the third-party companies kept trying to collect, and legal documents were robo-signed. We got Chase to back off and halt collections on 8,000 Marylanders, and the bank will pay $136 million as part of a nationwide settlement. They are also guaranteeing better safeguards on data so the problems don't resurface.
Keeping food prices low: When Sysco Foods announced a plan to purchase US Foods, creating a company that would control 80 percent of the commercial food market in the Baltimore-Washington area, we were concerned about the impact on consumers. My office joined with the Federal Trade Commission in objecting to a near-monopoly that was about to be created. I was encouraged when a federal judge recently agreed that the purchase needed a full analysis. Days later, Sysco wisely abandoned the transaction, which means that prices will remain competitive for Marylanders when they dine out, and for hospitals, schools and other institutions that rely on these businesses to serve their clients.
These are just some examples of ways we've been working to protect Marylanders. I hope to have more good news to share with you soon.
My office will always be on your side.

3 -ASAA Healthcare Provider Release for Student Athlete with Suspected or Actual Concussion Form RATIONALE In 2011, the Alaska State Legislature passed House Bill 15 and Senate Bill 22, requiring school districts to consult with Alaska School Activities Association (ASAA) to develop and publish guidelines and other information to educate coaches, student athletes, and parents of student athletes regarding the nature and risks of concussions. Guidelines must include a description of the risks of return to play and standards for return to play, including procedures required under sections (c) and (d) of Section , Concussions in Student Athletes: Prevention and Reporting. This was based on findings that (1) concussions rank among the most commonly reported traumatic brain injuries in children and adolescents who participate in sports and recreational activities with as many as 5,100,000 occurring nationally each year as a result of sports and recreational activities; (2) a concussion is caused by a blow to or jarring of the head or body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull, resulting in a mild to severe traumatic brain injury, which may occur with or without loss of consciousness, and may disrupt normal brain function; (3) a concussion may occur during an organized or unorganized sport or recreational activity as a result of a fall or from players colliding with each other or another obstacle; (4) the risk of catastrophic injury or death from a concussion or other head injury increases when the injury in not properly evaluated and managed, and the athlete is allowed to continue to participate in sports or recreational activities following the concussion; (5) although voluntary nationwide guidelines for managing concussion in sports recommend assessing concussions on an individual basis, with gradual return to play, athletes continue to be returned to play prematurely, putting them at risk for greater injury or death. 3
4 POLICY COMPONENTS To ensure the adoption of appropriate guidelines and procedures, ASAA and it Sports Medicine Advisory Committee (SMAC) encourage member schools and school districts to adopt a policy with the following components. Recommended School District Policy Requirement 1. Coaches Education Each school within the District shall ensure that each of its coaches undergoes training regarding the nature and risk of concussions at least every three years, on the same cycle as the required Sports First Aid certification under the Alaska Coaches Education Program. The initial training should occur as soon as in conjunction with the Sports First Aid course 3 year renewal requirement. This training is mandatory under ASAA Bylaw Article 10, Section 1. Each school must decide how it will implement the coaches training requirement from a range of options which include face to-face sessions and on-line training modules. (See Resources Section on pages 8-9.) Requirement 2. Student and Parent/Guardian Education and Notification Each school within the District shall annually provide to a student, and the parent or guardian of a student who is under 18 years of age, written information on the nature and risks of concussions. This requirement may be fulfilled by providing parents with the ASAA pamphlet entitled A Parent s Guide to Concussion in Sports (link provided on page 8) and by providing students with the fact sheet published by the Centers for Disease Control entitled Heads Up Concussion in High School Sports: A Fact Sheet for Athletes (link provided on page 8). A student may not participate in school athletic activities unless the student and the parent or guardian of a student who is under 18 years of age have signed a verification of receipt of the required information. Schools within the District will use ASAA s Parent and Student Verification of Receipt of Information Concerning Concussion Form to satisfy this requirement. Schools shall keep a copy of the signed form on file. (See Parent and Student Form on page 9) Requirement 3. Risks and Standards for Return to Play (RTP) 4
5 Risks - Concussions are a common problem in sports and have the potential for serious complications if not managed correctly. Even what appears to be a "minor ding or bell ringer" has the real risk of catastrophic results when an athlete is returned to action too soon. The medical literature and lay press are reporting instances of death from "second impact syndrome" when a second concussion occurs before the brain has recovered from the first one regardless of how mild both injuries may seem. At many athletic contests across the country, trained and knowledgeable individuals are not available to make the decision to return concussed athletes to play. Frequently, there is undo pressure from various sources (parents, player and coach) to return a valuable athlete to action. In addition, there is often unwillingness by the athlete to report headaches and other findings because the individual is concerned that doing so might prevent his or her return to play. Outlined below are some mandatory and some recommended procedures that will be helpful for schools, parents, coaches, medical providers, and others, when dealing with possible concussions. Please bear in mind the central role that physicians and certified athletic trainers must play in protecting the health and safety of student-athletes. Standards for Return to Play (RTP) Sideline Decision Making 1. Alaska law (A.S , as amended) mandates that a student who is suspected of having sustained a concussion during a practice or game shall be immediately removed from the practice or game. Close observation of the athlete should continue for a few hours. No athlete will return to play (RTP) on the same day he or she sustains a concussion. 2. Per AS , as amended, a student who has been removed from participation in a practice or game for suspicion of concussion may not return to play until the student has been evaluated and cleared for participation by a Certified Athletic Trainer or by a qualified person, who verifies in writing or electronically, that he or she is currently trained in the evaluation and management of concussions. Qualified person means either: 1) a health care provider licensed in Alaska, or exempt from licensure under Alaska law (AS (1), (2), or (4)), or 2) a person acting at the direction and under the supervision of a physician licensed in Alaska, or exempt from licensure. As interpreted by ASAA, Trained means that the provider 1) Has completed the online CDC Concussion Course for Clinicians ( in the last two years, AND 2) has a) completed 2 hours of CME in Sports Concussion Management in the last 2 years, or b) has completed a 1 year Sports Medicine Fellowship, a Certificate of Added Qualifications in Sports Medicine, or a Residency in Neurology or Neurosurgery. 5
6 As interpreted by ASAA, in addition to Certified Athletic Trainers, examples of healthcare professionals who, if they meet the definitions of qualified person and trained, would be authorized to provide medical clearance for concussed athletes, would be: physicians, osteopaths, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, neuropsychologists, and chiropractors who are certified by the Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians. ASAA shall maintain a list of those Healthcare Providers in Alaska who self-verify that they meet the above requirements and are qualified under AS , and are available to evaluate and manage student athletes with suspected and actual concussions. This list is provided for the convenience of student athletes, their parents, and their coaches who are seeking concussion care. The list is not intended to be all-inclusive and does not imply endorsement or verification of qualifications by ASAA. 3. In cases where a student has been evaluated by a qualified person as having sustained a concussion, after medical clearance that the student is able to begin the Return to Play (RTP) Protocol, the student will follow a step-wise protocol as described on pages 6 and 7 of this policy, with provisions for delayed RTP based on medical history or return of any signs or symptoms. (Medical providers may use the ASAA Healthcare Provider Release for Student-Athlete with Suspected or Actual Concussion form (found on page 9 of the policy). Steps to Return to Play (RTP) The following return to play (RTP) protocol shall be the minimum standard for medical providers to follow in managing student athletes who have sustained a concussion. Symptomatic Period Rest until complete resolution of all major symptoms. No physical activity. No academic/cognitive activity. If some minor symptoms persist, but the athlete feels capable of trying school, then, depending on the nature and severity of the symptoms, an incremental return to school can be attempted, e.g. 2 hours, then half day, then full day. If symptoms are exacerbated by attending school, then decrease or discontinue attendance. If attending school does not exacerbate the symptoms, then school can be continued, but exercise should not be initiated until all symptoms have resolved at rest. When there have been no symptoms for 24 hours, and the medical provider has cleared the athlete to begin the Return to Play Protocol, then Day 1 begins. Return to Play Protocol - Only when the concussion symptoms have been entirely absent for 24 hours, and the healthcare provider has cleared the athlete to begin the Return to Play Protocol, does Day 1 of the progressive return to physical activity begin. The Return To Play Protocol is to take place over a minimum of six days, with at least 24 hours between each step. The rate 6
7 of progression through the steps in the program is individualized by the supervising healthcare provider. Factors which may slow the rate are young age (18 or less), history of previous concussions, number/severity/duration of concussion symptoms, medical risk factors, and the concussion risk of the sports to which the athlete will return. Physical or cognitive activity that provokes recurrence of concussive symptoms will delay recovery and increase risk of future concussion. Therefore, if symptoms recur at any step, then physical activity should stop for 24 hours and resume at the previous step. Gradual Return to Play! Day 1:! Day 2:! Day 3:! Day 4:! Begin when symptom free for 24 hours.! 15 min light aerobic activity (walk, swim, stationary bike, no resistance training).! If no symptoms, then:! 30 min light-mod aerobic activity (jog, more intense walk, swim, stationary bike, no resistance training).! Start PE Class at previous day s activity level.! As RTP Protocol activity level increases, PE activity level remains one day behind.! If no symptoms, then:! 30 min mod-heavy aerobic activity (run, swim, cycle, skate, Nordic ski, no resistance training).! If no symptoms, then:! 30 min heavy aerobic (hard run, swim, cycle, skate, Nordic ski)! 15 min Resistance Training (push-up, sit-up, weightlifting) 7
8 ! Day 5:! If no symptoms, then:! Return to Practice, Non-contact Limited Participation (Routine sportspecific drills).! If no symptoms then:! Day 6:! Return to Full-Contact Practice! If no symptoms, then:! Day 7:! Medically Eligible for Competition when completes RTP Protocol and is cleared by Healthcare Professional! ASAA Eligibility Criteria must be met before return to competition. Concussion Care Plan - Schools principals should designate at least one staff member to work with the studentathlete, the student s parent, and the healthcare provider. The school staff member shall insure, that all school staff follow the care plan established for any student-athlete who has been diagnosed with a concussion. Throughout the incremental return to school and exercise, the healthcare provider managing the concussion should meet with the athlete daily to determine the athlete s level of symptoms, to evaluate the athlete s response to increases in hours of school and intensity of exercise, to decide whether the athlete will advance to the next increment of return, and to communicate the daily decisions to the athlete, parent, and designated school staff member. The school staff member should disseminate the daily report to all appropriate staff, including the student s teachers, the nurse, the athletic trainer, the coach, and the athletic director. The healthcare provider may choose to designate another person, such as the certified athletic trainer or school nurse, to perform the daily evaluation and monitor exercise and symptoms. But the identity of the healthcare provider responsible for managing the concussion should remain a written record so that it is always clear to the school staff member. Resources 8

As longtime residents of Broward County, we subscribe to the Sun-Sentinel because of your exceptional coverage of local news and events.
We have always accepted your ultra-liberal slant on the news because of our desire to read about these local items of interest.
I have never written a letter in response to any article, cartoon or advertisement, even though at times I was radically opposed to your point of view.
However, the cartoon on your Aug. 20 editorial page by Mr. Lowe reflected the most despicable bias toward any political figure I have ever seen.
Credibility is precious but your paper loses it with this type of depiction.

Angkor Wat was inscribed in the World Heritage list on December 14, 1992, and an International Co-Coordinating Committee for the Safeguarding and Development of the Historic Site of Angkor (ICC) was established.
Celebrations were planned for this year's 20th anniversary, but this week the committee announced, "Due to the national mourning for His Majesty the King Father, Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk, who played a key role in inscribing Angkor on the World Heritage List, the festivities planned for the 20th anniversary of this inscription (1992 - 2012) are postponed."
It's that time of year again, the silly season, when people of goodwill go crazy and create creations in the name of the Christmas spirit.
Consequently Christmas trees are being lit up at an alarming rate in major hotels throughout Siem Reap, and only Thursday night two of the most high profile hotels 'illuminated.'
Sofitel lit up its tree in its lobby, with help from the "little carol singers" from Honour Village.
Meanwhile, at precisely the same time Raffles lit up its Eric Raisina-designed Christmas tree with help from the "little dancers from the Ngin Karet Foundation for Cambodia."
The amazing thing about this year's Raisina-designed tree is that it actually looks like…wait for it…a tree.
Raisina's 2010 tree design was inspired by a traditional Cambodian fishing net and hence looked like a net, albeit a very nice net.
Last year's "tree" was in the shape of a Cambodian silk lotus blossom, representing the spiritual bloom from Buddhism.
But this year's tree is a triangular shape that looks decidedly tree-like and it's been adorned with cool adornments inspired by Kbach which, Eric says, "Is the general term, used in the Khmer language, to name the variety of ornaments which decorate objects and architectural surfaces throughout Cambodia. Kbach demonstrates shape, form, script and various complex characters inspired by nature, animals and certainly an expecting object."
But the prize for Christmas decor innovation this year must go to new hotel on the block, the Sayana and its boss, Aussie-expat Daryl Hissey.
Part one of the creation appeared late last week, eliciting much comment. But it was a case of "wait…there's more", and early this week part two of this amazing apparition lit up the night skies, revealing flying elephants pulling a sled.
According to Darryl Hissey, the creation is the work of the hotel's engineering team. Darryl says, "I asked them to do a lighting display and that's what they came up with, a Khmer Christmas."
Siem Reap's well known hotel executive Christian de Boer this week officially announced he's the new general manager of the 'new' Shinta Mani hotel.
Christian arrived in Siem Reap just over five years ago and worked as sales and marketing director at Shinta Mani's then sister establishment, Hotel de la Paix.
But when the hotel management was taken over by Park Hyatt, Christian became sales and marketing director of the very chi chi new island resort, Song Saa.
He officially quit this job last Saturday because he wanted to remain in Siem Reap.

The VeloNews Fast Talk podcast is your source for the best advice and most interesting insight on what it takes to become a better cyclist.
For decades (almost a century, in fact), we've been told that cramping is caused by electrolyte imbalance or bad hydration. But new science suggests that this probably isn't why you cramp during exercise.
So why do you cramp? It all comes down to something called altered neuromuscular control.
Take a listen: https://soundcloud.com/user-562497687/fast-talk-ep-26-busting-myths-about-cramping
