Bill provision stymied in Congress
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (Radio New Zealand International, Aug. 1, 2010) – American Samoa's Congressman Faleomavaega Eni Hunkin's efforts to halt annual increases in the local minimum wage have hit a snag.
A provision, attached to a bill on the Northern Marianas submerged lands, to do away with the 50 cent increases in 2010 and 2011 is on hold after a republican senator objected to the CNMI bill.
Congressman Faleomavaega says his office told the Senator that this was one of the few options left to the include minimum wage language for American Samoa.
The next scheduled minimum wage increase goes into effect on September 30.
The Senator agreed to lift his hold on minimum wage for American Samoa and CNMI if the submerged lands request was taken out of the CNMI bill.
However, CNMI Congressman would not agree to remove his request to convey certain submerged lands to CNMI.
Faleomavaega says in the interim they are working to attach the minimum wage language to some other bill.

2017: Upheaval and fightback will continue
Peter Taaffe, Socialist Party general secretary
2016 was the year when the pent-up anger of the masses worldwide finally spilled over in a series of political earthquakes - a delayed reaction to the devastating world economic crisis of 2007-08. And tremors are still being felt, with serious aftershocks - if not new earthquakes - expected in 2017.
The changed situation was dramatically illustrated by Brexit, with repercussions not just in Europe but worldwide. At bottom, this reflected a working class revolt against the austerity programme both of the British Tory government and the predatory capitalist EU.
The Socialist Party has consistently opposed the capitalist, imperialist EU from its origins and therefore called for a Leave vote in the referendum, along with the transport workers' union the RMT and many others.
Moreover, it was striking that those who had suffered under the iron heel of the EU - the Greek, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian workers - hailed Brexit, which they saw as striking a decisive blow against their mortal enemies, the gang of EU robber capitalists.
Fight the right
We also fought against the corrosive nationalism of Ukip and other reactionary forces who attempted to seize hold of Brexit as a means of dividing workers against one another. We will stay implacably opposed to the neoliberal EU while at the same time proposing a class and socialist alternative: no to the EU, yes to a socialist confederation of Europe.
It is no exaggeration to say that the leave vote resounded throughout the world. How dare the ignorant untutored masses defy their rulers, reasoned an army of capitalist comentators!
The Socialist issue 906
The leave vote upended the Tory cabinet and Cameron was soon consigned to history. Absolute turmoil has ensued, which continues into 2017, plunging the Tory party under Theresa May into an endemic crisis. The capitalist media constantly harps on the split within Labour but from the medium and long-term perspectives, the divisions within the Tory party are much more serious.
A schism within the Tory party, like that over the Corn Laws in the first half of the nineteenth century, is entirely possible. This saw the Tory party out of power for generations.
In Italy, Renzi has followed Cameron, after a stunning 60% to 40% rejection of his own undemocratic referendum, which sought to consolidate his austerity regime.
But the far right in Europe is still on the march, having been given a lift by the victory of Trump in the US presidential elections. Although the Austrian far right failed to win the re-run presidential election.
It is not even excluded that at a certain stage some countries - Austria, France, the Netherlands and possibly also Italy - could repeat the successes of the far right in Eastern Europe, participating in right-wing coalition governments.
It is the transparent failure of right-wing social democracy in Spain, Greece, Portugal and Britain - trapped within the framework of diseased capitalism and consequently presiding over savage cuts, eye watering poverty, mass unemployment etc - which has provided this opportunity for the right to emerge and threaten past conquests of the working class.
They believe that they have been given a huge comfort blanket by the victory of Donald Trump in the US elections. There are even some on the left who believe that a 'festival of reaction' will follow.
Nothing of the kind is likely or possible. Without in any way minimising the threat from the right - which should be fought - the relationship of class forces is still decisively in favour of the working class and its organisations, although weakened. The fascists could not successfully use today the methods of Hitler or Mussolini, the mobilisation of mass middle class forces to terrorise and atomise the working class.
Coming to power - even partially sharing power in a right-wing, conservative government - would act like a crack of thunder to awaken the working class and particularly the youth into ferocious resistance to such governments and the measures that they would undertake.
Witness the marvellous resistance of Polish women to the attempt to restrict abortion rights. Other powerful mass women's movements have developed in Ireland against strict abortion laws, in Argentina against vile attacks on women, and in Turkey against attempts to legitimise rape.
Look also at the mass resistance that erupted against Trump's fraudulent victory in cities in the US, in some cases led by our co-thinkers in Socialist Alternative. It is expected that mass demonstrations in the US and worldwide will take place on 20 January at Trump's inauguration. This is just a little payment on account for the mass working class resistance he is likely to encounter in the next years.
Moreover, such right-wing governments with far-right participation would pave the way for a massive swing towards the left among the working class, which would be reflected in the labour movement. This will act to further discredit the right-wing social democrats, who through their failure have paved the way for the right's re-emergence.
The truth is class radicalisation overwhelmingly predominates worldwide. This was shown in the 180 million Indian workers who demonstrated their power in a mighty general strike against the right-wing Modi regime in September 2016.
Unprecedented mass movements have also a broken out in South Korea, which are likely to force the president out on corruption charges.
Middle East
Of course, this has to be balanced against the horrific intractable crisis in the Middle East with its countless victims - a monument to the endless horrors to which humankind will suffer on the basis of outmoded capitalism.
The war in Syria has lasted longer than World War One, and moreover there is an element of that situation in the present conflict with its mutual slaughter. Leon Trotsky remarked in relation to the pre-1914 Balkan war: "Our descendants... will spread their hands in horror when they learn from history books about the methods by which capitalist peoples settled their disputes."
If nothing else, the Syrian war has demonstrated beyond all doubt that none of the capitalist powers - the US, Russia, the European Union - can provide a solution to the myriad national conflicts within the region.
Indeed, imperialism in all its guises - British, French, US - is the author of the present divisive patchwork divide-and-rule tactics on a massive scale, undemocratically stitched together when these imperialist powers were forced to retreat from direct domination of the region in the post-1945 situation.
A representative of the British spy agency MI6 recently appeared on British television and had the effrontery to quote from the Roman historian Tacitus - "You create a desolation and call it peace" - while attacking Putin's Russia! If so, then Putin learnt well in the school of the British ruling class and MI6. They were the first to pursue a bloody divide-and-rule policy, to carve out their empire upon which the 'sun would never set'.
Only the decisive intervention of the working class and poor in the Middle East region through a programme of class unity and socialism on the basis of a democratic confederation can put an end to this horror once and for all. The first step towards this would be the development of an independent political voice for the masses.
But in the meantime the catastrophic situation which has beset all countries in the Middle East will continue. The attempted coup in Turkey has led to an even bigger and more effective right-wing counter-coup led by Turkish President Erdoğan himself. Over 100,000 public sector workers have been dismissed; there has been a clampdown on the media and suppression of democratic rights. Only by determined struggle, and a vision of a new humane, socialist society, will the forces of the right be pushed back.
Donald Trump
Nowhere is that more necessary than in the US following the victory of the right-wing demagogic populist Donald Trump, who lied and cheated his way to power by pretending to champion the 'working class'. Nothing could be further from the truth.
He lacks any real 'legitimacy' for his right-wing programme. While he won the Electoral College, he was decisively beaten in the 'popular vote' by 2.6 million, receiving fewer votes even than the last defeated Republican presidential candidates Romney and McCain, and George W Bush when he won.
Within a matter of weeks - and without being installed yet as president - he has shredded most of his promises. His proposed government, true to form, is stuffed with billionaires, representative not of 'Main Street' but of Wall Street, which he denounced during the election campaign.
He is recruiting heavily from Goldman Sachs, which after the crash of 2007-08 was described by Rolling Stone magazine as "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity". Its tentacles are poised to try and further strangle working people in the cause of Trump's pro-big business agenda.
The trade unions face a massive challenge as he seeks to emulate Ronald Reagan in rolling out so-called 'right to work' legislation to weaken them. He will seek to reward Wall Street sharks who supported him by ruthless measures like privatisation and sackings, particularly of public sector workers.
Infrastructure and jobs
He hopes to soften the blatant pro-billionaire agenda by borrowing from capitalist economist Keynes with a promise to increase government spending of at least $1 trillion on the US's collapsing infrastructure.
However, as welcome as any new jobs would be in restoring the confidence of the US working class to fight back against the bosses and providing the unemployed with work, nevertheless these would not replace the high paid secure jobs which have been lost in the massive deindustrialisation of the US.
An estimated 70,000 factories in the US disappeared during this process, never to return on the basis of capitalism. Since 2010 something like 15 million new jobs were generated in the US but these have been overwhelmingly low paid and insecure, many the equivalent of the hated zero-hour contracts in Britain.
Moreover, the US is already saddled with colossal debt - government, corporate and personal - which is the main reason why enfeebled US and world capitalism has been able to still stagger on.
But will even a Republican congress ratify big increases in public spending, without any overall economic growth and ratcheting up even more debt? Top US tax expert and Congressman Ken Brady has declared: "The greatest threat to our prosperity long term is our growing national debt."
On the basis of capitalism, particularly the parasitic kind which Trump represents, a return to a 'golden age' when today appeared to be better than yesterday, and tomorrow would certainly be better, is over. The 60% of the US population who now consider themselves worse off than before signifies this.
Bernie Sanders
Hence the explosive developments in the US with the rise of the Bernie Sanders movement. Sanders' call for a political revolution drew mass support from discontented workers and young people and in turn terrified the pro-capitalist Democratic Party establishment.
When he was denied victory in the primaries by the manoeuvres of the pro-Clinton Democratic establishment, Bernie made a big mistake in not taking to the open road and establishing a new party. He had successfully appealed to the same impoverished and discontented layers of workers and young people to whom Trump was also pitching his message.
If he had stood for the presidency, then if not beating Trump, he would have at least attracted sufficient support to have allowed for the possibility of Hillary Clinton coming to power. This would have been the ideal scenario for the prospects of the further political awakening of the American working class and the youth.
A Clinton Democrat administration, which would have been tested to destruction - much as the Liberal Party in Britain was at the turn of the 20th century - could have created the base for the emergence of a new mass workers' party. Given the economic catastrophe of US capitalism and the desperation of the masses for an alternative, a new mass movement for socialism would have taken shape.
The election of Trump - the whip of counter-revolution - will not halt but ultimately spur on this process. There are features present in the current situation reminiscent of the explosive years in the 1960s and 70s. Socialism is an idea which has already captured the imagination of the new generation of workers and young people.
Socialism in the US
'Trotsky in New York 1917' - part of the avalanche of new books in preparation for the hundredth anniversary of the Russian Revolution this year - while inaccurate about Trotsky's real political views, nevertheless provides valuable insights about the powerful attraction for the American masses of socialism and its leading international figures then.
We are informed that "at least six New York newspapers with more than half a million readers would announce Trotsky's arrival in the city. Three put the story on the front page." There was a vibrant socialist movement and Eugene Debs had stood as a Socialist Party candidate in every presidential election since 1900, receiving over one million votes in 1912, the equivalent of six million today.
Those traditions will be revived, alongside those of the monumental class battles of the 1930s. American capitalism's colossal wealth and power allowed it to soften class relations in the post-1945 situation. Its relative economic decline has now sharpened these divisions, which will be further deepened by Trump.
And this will develop with American speed and elan. The success of our US co-thinkers, with the spectacular growth of Socialist Alternative and the election of the first socialist councillor in 100 years in Seattle - Kshama Sawant - is a measure of the changes wrought in the heartland of world capitalism.
As is the success of the school student union in Spain, which chalked up a big national victory against the PP government - the first in five years - when it successfully mobilised two million school students in a national strike which compelled the government to withdraw its attacks on education.
The political force behind this victory, the Spanish Marxist organisation Izquierda Revolucionaria, is in the process of linking up with the Committee for a Workers' International (CWI), which represents a great strengthening of the genuine forces of Marxism internationally. This will undoubtedly act as a magnet for other Marxist forces to come together with us to confront capitalism and its agents within the workers' movement.
Never has this been more necessary. Even the representatives of the capitalist system, like Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England, have warned the class they represent of the inherent dangers arising from the current crisis. Carney warned of the worst crisis for over 100 years with the UK "suffering its first lost decade since the 1860s", when Karl Marx was alive.
He repeatedly referred to the sense of insecurity and frustrations with global trade and technology, which has favoured "the superstar and the lucky... But what of the frustrated and frightened?" He denounced "inequality" as well as the banks who had been, according to him working in a "heads I win, tails you lose bubble".
Its intent was to warn the bosses who Carney represents of the incendiary economic and social situation in Britain which threatens to blow the system apart. And the examples which he uses are damning indictments of British capitalism, as well as an indication of further seismic events to come.
More than a fifth of the UK's population - almost 14 million people - is below the official yardstick for calculating poverty, according to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. That includes 4.8 million adults and 2.6 million children in poverty despite living in a working family. The numbers in this category grew by over a million in the last decade, symbolising the inexorable impoverishment of broad swathes of the British people.
Stories now creep into the press of how those who come from the middle class can now rapidly sink into a desperate situation. From having a job, to no job, therefore no income, then being incapable of paying the rent and ultimately ending up on the streets. The wheel of progress has gone into rapid reverse towards barbarism, with some homeless people now found to be living in caves in Wales!
Jeremy Corbyn and Labour
It was these conditions - arising from the complete failure of traditional 'social democracy' trapped within the framework of outmoded capitalism to provide an answer - which lit the flame of populist revolt symbolised in Britain through the mass movement gathered around Jeremy Corbyn. And yet 18 months after this - and with the crushing defeat of two right-wing Blairite coups - his campaign has now stalled. Jeremy himself seems to be missing in action. Why?
Because a policy of 'peaceful coexistence' during a civil war, which has existed in the Labour Party and the labour movement from the very first day that Jeremy was elected, has been adopted by his closest supporters in the leadership of Momentum. It is potentially fatal for his leadership prospects and the mass anti-austerity movement around him. This has been successfully urged on him by his closest advisers in Momentum.
There is an element of dual power in the Labour Party at the moment. The right controls the Parliamentary Labour Party - mainly the unreconstructed Blairite right, who display their opposition and contempt for Corbyn and his allies on a daily basis.
These 'Labour' MPs are unmistakably in the camp of the bosses. This was illustrated by Chris Evans, MP for Islwyn - one of the poorest constituencies in South Wales - seeing himself as the 'voice' of the parasitic hedge funds rather than the working class, and proposing a parliamentary liaison committee with these City of London creatures.
This right-wing MP is prepared to get into bed with the financial spivs, who create nothing and who treat factories and workplaces as 'assets' that can be gambled away on the stock exchange. They are the sworn enemy of working people and yet this alleged representative of the workers of South Wales seeks the participation of corrupt, parasitic swindlers who are shunned by even 'respectable' capitalists.
This shows just how politically corrupt large swathes of the Parliamentary Labour Party are - the sooner they are driven out the better. The Labour right have played for time, while the left has dithered and refused to conduct a real struggle, therefore playing into the hands of the right.
This is particularly the role of the leaders of Momentum. They refused to consistently support the one measure that would have mobilised hundreds of thousands of left-leaning workers and youth who joined the Labour Party in great enthusiasm to complete the Corbyn revolution: namely, subjecting right-wing MPs to reselection.
The Socialist Party has offered to further this process, to join the Labour Party on the basis of a political and organisational reconfiguration, leading to a federal form of party. Jon Lansman, the leader of Momentum, unceremoniously refused to support this, while showing touching sensitivity to the right. His tactics have blown up in his face, with Momentum torn apart over forms of organisation.
There have been no systematic protests at the arbitrary and bureaucratic denial of access to its ranks or that of the Labour Party.
Our request for readmission of 75 supporters of the Socialist Party previously expelled has met a brick wall. This while the right have ruthlessly used their position on the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Labour Party to consolidate their grip.
Unresolved civil war
The right have a clear plan to expel and marginalise all those on the left who pose a threat to their continued rule. The left under the baton of Momentum's leadership - organisationally and politically inept - have allowed the right to make a comeback.
The Socialist issue 911
All of this could have been avoided if clear direction had been given from the beginning to the hundreds of thousands who rallied enthusiastically to Corbyn's anti-austerity programme and clearly demonstrated the desire to drive the Blairite right out of the Labour Party. The response of Momentum's leadership was to rule out any such political 'confrontation' with the right.
The Labour Party is still composed of two incompatible parties in one. The right from the beginning showed they were absolutely unreconciled to Corbyn's leadership and would overthrow him at the first opportunity. That still remains their goal.
The civil war which has existed from the beginning of Corbyn's accession to the leadership remains unresolved. The right, having failed to remove him in an open coup and afraid of leaving the Labour Party in the hands of the left, have fallen back on a 'creeping coup'. The tactics consist of a war of attrition, constantly seeking to discredit Jeremy and John McDonnell, and marginalising and excluding their supporters.
Blind alley
There is nevertheless everything to play for in 2017. Capitalism is a blind alley, incapable of taking society substantially forward. All of those parties who accept the system will ultimately fall under the wheels of history.
The movement around Jeremy represents a determined attempt to throw off the outmoded shell of Blairite pro-market, pro-capitalist forces and take to a more radical, socialist road.
The Socialist Party, together with the CWI, will do everything in its power to assist workers and young people to attain the goal of a mass, socialist party fighting for a socialist society in Britain and the world.

Coronavirus crisis - Finance appeal
The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.
The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.
The government has now ripped up its 'austerity' mantra and turned to policies that not long ago were denounced as socialist. But after the corona crisis, it will try to make the working class pay for it, by trying to claw back what has been given.
- The Socialist Party's material is more vital than ever, so we can continue to report from workers who are fighting for better health and safety measures, against layoffs, for adequate staffing levels, etc.
- Our 'fighting coronavirus workers' charter', outlines a programme to combat the virus and protect workers' living conditions.
- When the health crisis subsides, we must be ready for the stormy events ahead and the need to arm workers' movements with a socialist programme - one which puts the health and needs of humanity before the profits of a few.

One in four people in the UK will experience a mental health problem at some point in their lives. Mental health is fast becoming destigmatised as a number of celebrities and people in public life are revealing their battle with some aspect of mental health. The term 'Mental Health' covers a multitude of malaises such as depression, anxiety, psychosis, schizophrenia, and bi-polar. This article is not comprehensive but outlines your options and the services available.
It sounds "clichéd" but if you suspect you have a mental health problem see your GP and also be aware treatment doesn't necessarily mean medication. In the case of depression there are other options such as: - talking therapies (cognitive behaviour therapy) and exercise. The latter has been found to be very effective as exercise gives a feeling of wellbeing by increasing levels of dopamine and serotonin in your brain and can help to put insurmountable problems in perspective. And yes exercise can be prescribed literally to your local leisure centre!
Life is rarely simple and commonly people with mental health problems have addiction problems too which may go unnoticed such as smoking more heavily, drinking a little too much or taking over the counter medication regularly. Your GP will attempt to consider you as a whole person and determine your life style and what is going on for you in your life to get a better picture and to treat the whole problem rather than just one facet of the problem.
You can self-refer to several local organisations or your GP may suggest a referral to see a psychiatrist at the local community mental health team at Waverley House.

Here is a Real Life Case Study of a Patient with a Mental Health Problem.
Donna had been diagnosed with border line personality disorder and social phobia ten years before the perceived crisis. She was stable on a mixture of diazepam and olanzapine. She had been doing ok in her life, except for the unpleasant side effect of one of her medications which caused excess salivation.
So after many years Donna decided to wean herself off with help from her GP.
Then gradually Donna, who was unemployed, stopped contacting and interacting with her friends. Her friends didn't worry; to them Donna was just being Donna. What happened to Donna was alarming. She didn't really comprehend where she was and lived in a mass of paper work which she kept reviewing endlessly. Day became night, night became day. She was having strange frightening thoughts which she could not articulate. She was convinced that she had caused the nation's deficit in claiming her pension which she was fully entitled to. Her Mother came to see her and found her behaviour distressing – she did not know what to do. Then things came to a head when Donna was found hanging by a ligature around her neck. Her mother, who found her, cut her down and she was admitted to A&E and then to a Mental Health unit, where, after two weeks she made a full recovery. Looking back at the events, with insight, Donna learned the shocking truth that when mentally ill she had become a stranger to herself and had no insight to what was going on around her
A professor at Exeter University has proved that a technique known as mindfulness reduces the likelihood of a relapse into depression. Mindfulness is the science of being in the moment and dealing with one thing at a time, it also teaches relaxation techniques. In 2010 the NHS ran a community course in it.

Alcohol has been described as "The bane of civilisations" and the "Universal balm for the masses".
Did you know if that alcohol was discovered today it would be outlawed as a class 'A' drug. A sobering thought. The effects of alcohol abuse are insidious, even to the well intentioned person and it is easy to abuse as it creates a temporary euphoria which wears off. In some cultures alcohol consumption is seen as rites of passage into adulthood. Alcohol although causes short lived euphoria it is a depressant. Behind the scenes it throws the liver into chaos as alcohol is a toxin to the body and also highly addictive to those who are susceptible. If you want to talk chemistry it is a hydro carbon molecule not dis similar to most fuels and anti-freeze so it seems ridiculous that we should drink it at all!
Alcohol is the salesman's dream and the Government's nightmare, alcohol abuse soaks up billions of pounds in health care to those admitted to hospital as a result of alcohol or those who have chronic health conditions related to alcohol abuse. We are bombarded with images of drink and indeed our popular sitcoms are centred on pubs. Such things legitimise its widespread use and also make drinking trendy.
Alcohol and alcoholism conjure up images of some poor old soak on a park bench. This is a myth as a lot for people regularly exceeding the weekly recommended units of 14 for female and 21 for males do so in their own homes and may not even realise that their regular alcohol consumption is causing a detrimental effect on their health! Also a lot of older people regularly exceed safe drinking limits and this is even more dangerous as alcohol's effects on the body are more pronounced as we get older and also alcohol can interact with a lot of prescribed medication.
If you feel you have an alcohol problem speak to your GP.
Our winter newsletter gives an alcohol units assessment chart. You can self-refer to the following:-
Torbay Primary Care Alcohol ServiceWalnut Road,ChelstonTel :- 01803 – 604334Email:-firstname.lastname@example.com
They will assess you in an introductory session, and then if necessary, engage you in at least six sessions with a qualified alcohol worker. The programme demands self-evaluation and scrutiny and will lead to total abstinence or controlled drinking. They will encourage you to use your own support network (a bit like smoking cessation) this is called "Social Network Behaviour Therapy". They also use a tool called Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy which seeks to give you the option of assessing the outcomes of a particular behaviour in this case , drinking.
Case Study
John was in his mid-forties and had gone to the pub quite a lot in the eighties to share its social scene. He never considered his drinking a problem. But in the latter years due to circumstances beyond his control he had become lonely. As a way of coping with that loneliness he started to drink alone at home. Then in the economic down turn John lost his job. Luckily he had enough money put by after an illustrious career to provide a roof over his head and to pay bills. Then one day John woke up to the fact that he had gradually taken to drinking during the day and night. John's good friends warned his family in confidence that John was drinking. They found John in a dreadful state, he had lost control of his bowels, he had chronic diarrhoea, and he was unsteady on his feet. His family took him to see his GP who diagnosed early liver failure. His GP referred John to the local substance misuse clinic were his alcohol drinking and depression were tackled. John now lives a healthy life and doesn't drink

It is worth mentioning Cannabis, Crystal Meth and Met Amphetamine which after prolonged use can cause psychosis. Some users have had to be sectioned or go voluntarily to Haytor Ward or Oak Ward for further treatment.
Just lately in the media we are seeing the increased abuse of prescription drugs either obtained over the internet or abuse of those obtained from a GP. Very addictive drugs include among others: - diazepam, codeine, nitrazepam, pregabalin and zopiclone. There is a mistaken belief in society that prescription drugs by their very nature are safe but they are like any other drug in that they can be abused and have potential hazardous side effects and dangerous interactions with alcohol and other medication. We have robust policy on prescribing any medication at Croft Hall, which includes regular medication review.
Case Study
Dorothy had trouble sleeping and she was prescribed zopiclone. All went fine until her insomnia increased despite taking zopiclone. She was then prescribed nitrazepam , again all went well for a couple of months. She became infatuated by her lack of ability to sleep taking increasing amounts of sleeping tablets to get to sleep. Her GP called her into the surgery and told her that she should be weaned to a lower dose. The GP suggested a methodology called "Sleep Hygiene" where whether or not Dorothy slept she remained in bed for an allotted period. This was to train her body into the ways of sleep. She successfully reduced her dose and dispensed with sleeping tablets altogether.
So help is out there!
Please ask!

Join in the glorious uproar of creation with The Riot and the Dance, a boisterous new nature documentary featuring a biologist who was once told he would never succeed if he kept blabbing about all that silly Creator-creature nonsense. But now you can follow along with Dr. Gordon Wilson as he traverses our planet, basking in God's masterpieces whether he's catching wildlife in his own backyard or in the jungles of Sri Lanka. (Yeah, he did get bitten, but not by the cobra.)
Showstopping footage and powerful narration will open your eyes to the extraordinary glory found all over the animal kingdom. From leopards and langurs to vipers and elephants and beyond, The Riot and the Dance is a cinematic exploration that you won't want to miss.
Dove Review
Dr. Gordon Wilson's The Riot and the Dance leads us through "God's living art museum" where we find nothing is mundane. We are challenged to pierce the membrane of clouded vision, revealing a vivid world of intricate design, rendered generously by our God and Designer. The film is unhindered by the secular denial of the supernatural and amazes us with many surgically complex and beautiful creature designs. We are free to look honestly at the simple obvious: where there is design, there is a designer. Not so hard to figure out. From Yellowstone to the rainforest, from the Sonoran Desert to Sri Lanka, Dr. Gordon treks through a rainbow of worlds, immersing us in stunning detail, captured by intensely rich photography which would elicit envy from Nat Geo.
From the warrior-like bighorned sheep and the territorial seals, to the green poisonous toad and the grieving elephant, this well-written documentary succeeds in piquing our awe of the endless detail God has given us to enjoy. Interesting and powerful music is strategically interwoven with animal movements, majestic, calculating or deadly. Nothing mundane here. The infrared-sensing night vision revealing pits of the viper remind us there is more riot than dance out there, and we become aware of Creation, compromised by sin, broken by the Fall and longing for the promised new Creation. The Riot and the Dance honors and celebrates God, the great Designer, and it will thrill the entire family, earning the Dove All Ages Award.

Following her Kentucky Derby disaster, Ginnifer Goodwin really needed to step things up several notches at the 2012 Meta Gala to erase the horrible memory.
She should consider herself totally redeemed as she looked sensational wearing a Monique Lhuillier gown.
The tangerine silk-chiffon cap-sleeve gown with an embroidered neckline and draped skirt and leather tangerine belt was styled with H.Stern jewels.
I would be lying if I said that I liked her Brian Atwood silver satin pumps, but I want to give Ginnifer a pass for getting everything else so right.

Research interest
Female reproductive endocrinology has remained my primary research interest throughout my research career I have had the opportunity to work on several levels: molecular, cellular, systemic and both in experimental animal models as well in clinical settings and patient materials.
My research focus has developed based on the knowledge we have acquired and in parallel with the fast evolving international research in our and adjacent fields of research and with introduction of new techniques:

While I was wandering around Spruce Meadows at the Alberta Kennel Club Summer Classic a couple of weeks ago, I stopped to watch a very interesting Agility competition being held by NADAC (North America Dog Agility Council). It was different from other agility competitions I have watched, I was intrigued. There were dogs of all breeds, purebred and mixed, and people of all ages. The courses were different from your regular class seen at competitions, and the rules & regulations different as well. I saw two beautiful Dalmatians in the ring doing a Hoops, Tunnels & Weave Pole course. Speed wasn't their secret weapon but accuracy was. I was lucky to meet Sandy and her two stunning boys, Coach & Dexter.Coach is the black and white Dally and Dexter the liver spotted. I liked the less rigid rules of this competition and the interesting classes (might be something Tashi and I may try one day). Sandy, Coach and Dexter are pros at this and after watching them compete you just know they all love it. Come on over to the 100 Pets and Their People page to read their story and see them in action.

Molly & Mark
Well, well…such a LONG time between posts. My biggest excuse is the flooding here in Southern Alberta and the fact that most of the parks and woods I frequent have been devastated by the flooding. Of course it hasn't been safe to walk in these areas for awhile (still isn't in some cases) with all the debris and contaminants flowing through but we've had more that a few heavy rains and that has helped. Southland Dog Park in Calgary is far from being repaired enough to walk, such a shame.I was happy to meet Molly and Mark out at the Black Diamond Off Leash area last week. We were out surveying the damage, as were they. Molly is such a sweet, happy girl. She didn't want to sit still at first to pose for a photo, and who could blame her with all the new smells and changes to be explored at the park. Eventually she sat and was happy to pose with her person, Mark. Click here to meet them both.
Charlie & Baffin
Well, well…it's been a little quiet on the 100 Pets and Their People project front and I apologize for the silence but I'm back to introduce you to a new, incredibly adorable pup, by the name of Baffin, and her person, Charlie.We met at Southland Off Leash Park in Calgary and for the first time it wasn't me who initiated the conversation about my project. Although Charlie didn't know exactly what he was getting himself and Baffin into, he asked if I was the woman who was documenting dogs at the Park and wondered if I'd met his. I don't think being wrangled into the photos too was what he had in mind, but nevertheless he was a good sport and gladly posed with Baffin for me and we chatted for quite some time. Baffin is a terrific dog, full of energy and enthusiasm. One of my dogs, Tashi, found a good smell and started digging a hole which Baffin gladly agreed to help out with, and…took over the task. You can see by Tashi's face that she wasn't quite sure what to think about the assistance and gave me a "mom….do something about this!" look. It was a real pleasure to meet them both and add them to our project. Check out their full story here.
Because the stories and photos from my Project are growing I have decided to divide the project into several pages so Baffin and Charlie, being Number 36, are on the newest Project page for Numbers 36 through 70.
Thanks for being patient and for stopping by! Cheers, Sheila
Zola The South African Princess
Zola is a beautiful South African Boerboel (pronounced "Burbul"), a rare breed in this part of the world.I met Zola and her person, Priscilla, a lovely British lady, at the Southland Off Leash Park last week. I wish I got a photo of Zola that shows how impressive and strong she really is. I did however, capture some great shots of Zola's connection with Priscilla, especially when we started chatting and they both kind of forgot I had my camera with me (as much as you can with a big DSLR being pointed at you). I find once we start chatting, I can get more intimate shots of their relationship with their pet. I really enjoyed meeting both Priscilla and Zola and hope you will too. Click here to get to my 100 Pets and The People They Love page so I can introduce you to them! Cheers! Sheila
Rocky and Juno
We're back to the Dog Park!Meet Rocky and Juno, two beautiful, friendly mixed breed pups and their person, Patty. We met a couple of weeks ago at the Southland Dog Park. I've been looking forward to writing about them, they are awesome dogs; Rocky such a bold character and Juno more reserved and quiet. Patty is a City of Calgary Animal Services Officer; she sees it all in her job but is so very lucky to have these two wonderful dogs to bring her joy and balance at home.
Their bond is palpable and so incredible to see. Please check out their full story and more photos here.
The British Are Coming!
British Shorthair Kitties that is! I love these chubby faced, chipmunk cheeked, happy, smiling cats! We met at the Calgary Cat Show; iBruiser and Blue Star were happy to come out of their comfy kennels to say hello and be admired.British Shorthair prefer not to be carried around everywhere, they prefer all four paws to be on the ground, but they do like to be where you are will gladly curl up beside you on the couch. Click over to my 100 Pets and The People They Love page to meet them both and their people, Brenda and Darrell. If you want to learn more about this breed of kitty, check out the TICA website. Cheers! Sheila

Legislature declares intent of PAHRA is to establish procedures for providing access to health care records by patients.
A patient who has suffered a violation of Health & Safety Code 123110 may bring an action against the health care provider to enforce access to his patient records
This chapter does not require a health care provider to permit access to alcohol and drug abuse records that is prohibited by federal and other laws. Records subject to those laws are subject to this chapter to the extent that disclosure is permitted. This chapter does not require a health care provider to allow access of records of communicable disease carriers that is prohibited by law to protect confidentiality.
A health care provider may prepare a summary of the patient record in accordance with this section rather than allowing access to the entire record.
A health care provider may prepare a summary of the record for inspection rather than allowing access to the entire record, as long as the summary of the record is available to the patient within 10 working days from the date of the patient's request.
In the event that a health care professional arranges for the provision of test results by Internet posting or other electronic manner ... access to clinical laboratory test results shall be restricted by the use of a secure personal identification number.
Use of electronic recordkeeping to store patient records shall ensure safety and integrity of the records at least to the extent of hard copy records. Upon request, access to electronically stored patient records shall be made available to the Division of Licensing and Certification staff. Policies and procedures should be developed to include safeguards for confidentiality of electronically stored patient health records
A representative of a minor can be denied access to the minor's patient records where: 1) the patient records pertain to health care of a type for which the minor is lawfully authorized to consent to; or 2) the health care provider determines that granting access may have a detrimental effect on her professional relationship with the minor, the minor's physical safety or the minor's psychological well-being.
(b) Mental health records: patient records or portions of it relating to evaluation or treatment of a mental disorder, including alcohol and drug abuse records; and (d) Patient records: records maintained by a health care provider relating to health history, diagnosis, or condition of a patient or relating to treatment.
Except as per 123115 and 123120, patients, minor patients authorized to consent to medical treatment, and any patient representatives shall be entitled to inspect patient records upon written request and payment of clerical costs. Such persons shall also be entitled to copies of patient records. Health care providers are prohibited from withholding patient records because of unpaid bills.

Youthlinc is grateful to partner and receive donations from the following institutions and individuals:
Local Partners
Youthlinc works with Utah and international Rotary clubs to invest in and develop a service ethic in our youth, through sponsorship and by providing role models of individuals dedicated to local and international service.
We are also extremely grateful to the Utah Rotary Clubs which have supported the international communities in which Youthlinc serves through Rotary International Grants to bring numerous quality of life improvements, including water projects, bathrooms, vocational training equipment, playgrounds, and many other worthwhile projects.
We are grateful to the Rotarians who serve annually alongside Youthlinc students as valuable mentors for their professions.
The Michel Foundation is our major local partner for funding construction projects such as schools, dormitories, first aid stations, libraries, and other critical structures at all of our international sites. Because of the Michel Family Foundation, thousands of children in developing countries can now attend school, thousands of people of all ages have access to first line medical care and literacy. The generous donations of the Michel Family Foundation have provided renovations and supplies that have dramatically improved the quality of life for people they have never met, and have shown Youthlinc participants the true meaning of giving selflessly. Click here for a short Prezi about the Michel Family Foundation.
Youthlinc is also proud to partner with the University of Utah, Utah State University, Westminster College, Dixie College, the City of South Salt Lake, Catholic Community Services, and the Asian Association of Utah, and many business and professional associations.
Many other generous local donors also support and fund water projects, sanitation, school and first aid station construction – and other quality of life improvement initiatives.
For more information about becoming a donor and local partner please contact our Executive Director at: firstname.lastname@example.com
In-country Partners
We are extremely grateful to our international Rotary club partners over the years:
Rotary Clubs of Nakuru, Nairobi Utumishi, Meru (Kenya); Rotary Clubs of Piedras Negras, Ocotlan, Tuxtla Gutierrez, San Cristobal (Mexico); Rotary Club of Iquitos, Peru; Rotary Club of Patong Beach, Phang Nga, Thailand; Rotary Clubs of Angkor and Pursat, Cambodia; Rotary Club of Puerto Barrios, Guatemala. Rotary Club of Kathmandu Metro, Nepal.
We are also very fortunate to partner with these non-governmental organizations: Sustainable Cambodia, Asociación Ak'tenamit in Guatemala, and Solidarités Jeunesses (SJ) Vietnam, People for Guatemala.
These outstanding Rotary Clubs and organizations have volunteered to coordinate for our Service Year teams:
organizing accommodations, food, transport, etc either through their connections as community leaders or through their members who are professional travel agents.
overseeing Youthlinc and Rotary club projects in our partner communities, as well as their own projects in these communities.
communicating regularly with us, as a vital and informed link between our partner communities and all the people working with Youthlinc to lift up those in need.
For more information about partnering with Youthlinc in your international community, please contact our International Service Director firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you, Youthlinc, for your organization, consistent communication, flexibility, and all your hard work in securing so many donations! Thank you for your cultural sensitivity and for purely serving Ak'tenamit, not taking it into your hands, but letting us tell you our needs. It is important to have that sort of consciousness in a group of people who volunteer internationally – to understand how important it is to help in a sustainable way, empowering people to help themselves or giving them the tools to do so.
But what most impacted me about working with Youthlinc was the sincere connections your young people made with the students at Ak' Tenamit. There were many language and cultural barriers, but those were surpassed and many beautiful friendships were cultivated

Youthlinc provides a wonderful humanitarian experience for young people that will an impact well into their lives. My own daughter has gone twice to Peru and has pursued a career in medicine so that she can go back and provide further humanitarian service, all of this starting with her experience with Youthlinc!
As the Utah Rotary Youth Service Chair, I am concerned about strengthening the bond between Rotary clubs that sponsor Youthlinc students and their Interact clubs. The more that they work together, the more that they mutually benefit.

The daughter of a Russian billionaire has been unveiled as the client of the Greek island the place transport tycoon Aristotle Onassis married Jackie Kennedy. This means you can leave your hammock out all year long when you choose, and it'll still feel nearly as good as new subsequent time the solar shines. Here is that particular gem that is still relatively undiscovered, mostly because Vis Island is a long ferry trip from the coast. In the previous there have been rumours that Giorgio Armani, Bill Gates, the founding father of Microsoft, and Madonna were fascinated by buying the tiny island. Bring first support package and other survival equipment as there is no such thing as a hospital in town and in the island.

A suicide bomber on a motorbike killed 27 policemen at a base north of Baghdad, police said, in one of the worst attacks on Iraq's security forces in months.
Filed at 3:55 a.m. ET
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide bomber on a bicycle killed 28 policemen at their base in the volatile Iraqi province of Diyala on Monday, police said, in one of the deadliest strikes on Iraq's security forces in months.
The bomber entered the base and attacked a group of policemen -- members of a rapid reaction force -- doing their morning exercises, said Major-General Ghanim al-Quraishi, police chief of Diyala province.
He said details of the bombing were confused because everyone at the scene had been killed or badly wounded.
The base is in the city of Baquba, capital of Diyala province, where al Qaeda and other Sunni Arab insurgent groups as well as Shi'ite Muslim militias operate.
At least 20 people were wounded in the attack, including a woman and a child, police said.
A car bomb in a residential area in the northern Iraqi town of Siniya demolished two homes and killed seven people and wounded 11, police and health officials said.
No group claimed immediate responsibility for the Baquba bombing, but it bore the hallmarks of al Qaeda, which has often used suicide bombers in attacks on Iraqi security forces to devastasting effect.
Al Qaeda has vowed to step up attacks on the security forces as well as Sunni Arab tribal leaders and Sunni insurgents who have allied themselves with U.S. forces in Diyala province to try to root out the Sunni Islamist group.
U.S. and Iraqi forces launched a major offensive against al Qaeda in Diyala province in June, regaining control of Baquba and forcing many of the group's fighters to flee elsewhere.
That led to the creation of "concerned citizens's groups" modeled on the tribal police units first formed in western Anbar, where tribal chiefs have joined with U.S. troops to force al Qaeda from the province.
Al Qaeda, however, has proved resilient and U.S. military commanders warn that it still retains the capability to launch devastating attacks.
Baquba's police chief was among 26 people killed last month when a suicide bomber blew himself up in a mosque compound where local Shi'ite and Sunni Arab leaders were holding reconciliation talks.
The U.S. military has poured 30,000 extra troops into Iraq as part of President George W. Bush's new Iraq strategy to create a more stable security environment for the country's feuding leaders to reconcile their warring sects.
Tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed in sectarian violence between majority Shi'ites and minority Sunni Arabs since February 2006, when bombers blew up a revered Shi'ite shrine in the town of Samarra, north of Baghdad.
The second-ranking U.S. general in Iraq, Lieutenant-General Raymond Odierno, said last week that violence had dropped to its lowest level since January 2006.

Don't be keyboarding me and other phone etiquette advice!
The New Business Guide to Making Phone Calls 2015 – Part 1
If you recently left the coffee shop with more than a cup of joe; in fact, an earful of confidential product release details overheard in a loud and lingering phone call, it is no surprise. With communication options literally at your fingertips, the temptation to answer or place a call from any location at any time seems to be an acceptable practice, with no regard for good old-fashioned manners. In fact, what is phone communication etiquette and who needs it? If you are a business professional, what you do with your mobile devices matters. There are a number of new trends for making phone calls in 2015 that might affect your next business deal.
What to DO and….Seriously NOT DO in Modern Phone Communications
While next generation phone users may not agree unless they are getting their bachelor's degree or seeking their first career, professionals will argue that in the long run phone etiquette goes a long way toward long-term business relationships. When your job is to sell your products and services, a bad phone call in the wrong place at the wrong time could quickly bungle the deal.
The DO's
- Find The Best Place for a Business Call. Locate a secluded location to make or receive important business calls, preferably not in the same room as an espresso machine or at the water cooler. Many offices, coffee shops, and restaurants have a private room for just this type of business. A loud conversation can be annoying to fellow workers, patrons, and especially the people on the other end of the call.
- Call Only Designated Numbers. Call your prospects or clients on a dedicated business phone, unless your contact has specifically given you a mobile or home phone number as a preferred method of calling. Be aware that for some workaholics, there may be no difference.
- Redial When Necessary. When you have a bad connection or you can't understand the other party, offer to hang up and redial so that you don't miss an important part of a conversation, especially when financials or bad jokes…or both are involved. After all, you may owe or have just won $10 million.
- Respect Business Hours. Contact your prospects, business associates, and customers during normal business hours, and don't forget to consider the time zone in which they live and work. Calling after work hours, nights, and weekends should be avoided unless you have the "ok" from your contact to do so or you are good buddies.
The DON'Ts
- Don't Leave An Automated Sales Pitch. A sales recording rarely pleases a customer or prospects to a sale and, not only that, it is often illegal; reserve this important task for live phone or one-on-one conversations where you can truly convey your message and receive feedback.
- Avoid Texting In Most Cases. Generally texting is not used for business, unless your client has given you the green light. Texting is often considered a personal method of communication; on the other hand, some roles rely on it. Talk to your prospects before you text!
- Refrain From Keyboarding. Unless you need to take meeting notes, do not type on the keyboard while you are talking on the phone. You know microphones, especially on laptops, can be sensitive to even the faintest tap when you sneak an instant messaging your best friend. Always explain to the other party that you would like to take notes, and ask if it will be too distracting. Otherwise, the person you are speaking with may assume you are multitasking…or worse rather than giving them the attention they deserve.
- Do Not Place Someone on Hold. When you are on the phone and another call comes in, don't place the first caller on hold unless you have an emergency. It is rude and sends a clear message that says, "You are not as important as the caller who is trying to reach me." What incoming conversation cannot wait five minutes?
Seal the Deal
A little etiquette (yes, you know the word) goes a long way toward that next business deal, the chance of a new job, or securing a good grade. No swearing, no loud calls in public, and keep confidential details behind closed doors. Take the time to be courteous (yes, you know the word) to those around you and at the same time be polished and professional.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker experienced some of Neenah's art and music talent and touted increased spending for public education during a visit to Neenah High School on Thursday. It was Governor Walker's first visit to Neenah High School since taking office in 2011.
Governor Walker began the day by visiting with art students who showed him some of the displays in the school hallways. Liberty Sutter explained the mural outside the cafeteria, while Tyson Morgan, Andrew Nunamaker, Madison Xiong, Gabby Santor and Marissa Hart showed the Governor the process and work behind the Veteran's Memorial exhibit. Arete Academy students Liz Gartland and Zach Schmitt described the history and creation of the Heroes Tree exhibit.
Governor Walker experienced some of Neenah's best orchestra talent as a pair of string quartets each performed a piece in the Pickard Auditorium lobby. Mindara Krueger-Olson, Grace Hackinson, Basil Eastman-Keisow and Kaylee Jepson performed along with Jack Murphy, Nate Zerrien, Jacob Popp and Ryan Roekle.
About 50 students attended a short talk by the Governor in the Armstrong Library. He discussed his budget proposals and the positive impact for public education. Neenah alone could gain over $2.4 million over the next two years if the proposed budget is approved by the state legislature. Three students were also given the opportunity to ask the Governor questions before he held a press conference with local media outlets. The entire visit lasted about one hour.
Neenah was also invited by Governor Walker to his State of the State address at the state capitol in January. Neenah was the only public school invited to the event.

What's the Keto Diet? Everything You Need to Know
I learn about all the "it" diets thanks to my friends' Sunday night meal-prep posts on Instagram. Whole30 dominated my feed last year, but there's a new "life-changing" diet taking over Instagram, and the Internet as a whole. It goes by the name of the keto diet, Kourtney Kardashian is apparently obsessed with it, and unfortunately, it has nothing to do with Cheetos (as I originally had hoped). To clear up my confusion about what keto actually is, I reached out to a nutrition expert.
What Is the Keto Diet?
According to Charles Passler, D.C., a New York-based nutritionist and the founder of Pure Change, "keto" is short for "ketogenic," a high-fat, moderate protein, low-carb diet. On this diet, he says that up to 70 percent of your calories per day should come from fat, 20-25 percent from protein, and 5-10 percent from net carbs, which is carbs minus fiber. "By severely limiting net carbs to 15 to 50 grams, the diet forces your body to burn fat for energy," he explains. "This metabolic function is called ketosis."
Passler explains that when you're in ketosis, "ketones" become the main source of energy. Ketones form when fat is transported to the liver. "Ketones provide an excellent source of energy for the body and the brain."
How Does It Work?
As you probably figured out from the calorie breakdown above, the diet focuses on having a very low level of glucose in the body. This means generally less than 50 grams of net carbs per day. Passler says that glucose happens to be the preferred fuel source for many cells in the body, but by having a low level of it, the body is forced to burn off fat for fuel.
"The majority of carbs must be removed from the diet, such as sweets, desserts, and most items with any added sugar. Eliminating grains, root vegetables, legumes, and fruit may also be necessary for the majority of individuals," he says.

How Is The Keto Diet Different From Atkins?
Although they're both low-carb, Atkins and keto are drastically different. Atkins is a diet made up of four phases that each last a few weeks. During the first phase, you up your intake of protein and lower your intake of carbs. Passler says you eat some fat, but not nearly as much as you do on the keto diet. You then add carbs back to your diet, adjusting them for maintenance so you don't gain back the weight you've lost.
With keto, there is only one phase of the diet, which is high-fat, moderate protein, and low-to-minimal carbs, says Passler. "Once your goal is reached, there is no follow-up phase. It is keto for life."
What Are the Benefits Of The Keto Diet?
Passler says that the keto diet is great for dropping weight quickly, but also says that the diet helps participants manage their hunger, and claims helps that keto will increase your energy and mental clarity.
However, it takes serious commitment. "The keto diet is difficult to stick to without proper planning and without giving your system time to adapt," Passler explains. "Having the proper foods available at home and knowing what to order and which restaurants to go to is key."
If you need a more detailed explanation of what is considered a high-fat, low-carb food, there are a ton of books on Amazon that break down the diet and offer recipes and simplified food plans. Passler says going keto becomes much easier as the weeks go on and participants start seeing its effects.
But no diet is perfect, and keto might not be the best option for your lifestyle or your health. "The best program for any individual is the one that works for them," Passler notes. "It is best if it is based on foods that they enjoy and believe in eating—a plant-based vegan is not a candidate for a program that involves animal products—and can feel good while staying on track long term."
Before starting any diet, "it" or not, chat with your doctor to see if it's a safe fit for you.
What Are Some Sample Meals?
One of the keto diet's main benefits, as we've mentioned, is that you won't feel hungry all day long because the foods that it focuses on are actually filling. For example, an average keto breakfast could consist of eggs, almonds, cheese, and avocado. For lunch, Passler says you could see a plate filled with chicken, avocado, non-starchy vegetables, and maybe even nuts. A keto-approved dinner could feature lean protein like salmon, broccoli, and other non-starchy veggies, as well as avocado.
Snacks are allowed, if they meet the requirements. Passler suggests celery with guacamole or cream cheese.

In pics: Mumbai Indians win 10th IPL Trophy
Hyderabad: Majestic bowling by Mumbai Indians made them snatch an incredible one-run victory from the jaws of defeat against Rising Pune Supergiant in a thrilling grand finale of the Indian Premier League (IPL), here Sunday night.
This was third IPL victory of the Mumbai Indians in 10 editions and more special for their skipper Rohit Sharma, who is the only captain to win a hat-trick of titles.
For Mahendra Singh Dhoni, it was yet another final that ended in a defeat — fifth in seven summit clashes.
In one of the closest finals during the 10 editions, the trio of Jasprit Bumrah (2/26 in 4 overs), Mitchell Johnson (3/26 in 4 overs) and Lasith Malinga (0/21 in 4 overs) were brilliant at the death defending a lowly total of 129/8 as Supergiant were restricted to 128 for 6 at the end.
It was Johnson, who kept his nerve during the final over where 11 runs were needed. Manoj Tiwary smacked the first one to mid-wicket boundary bringing the eqaution down to 7 from 5 balls.
However the next two deliveries turned out to be disaster with both Tiwary and skipper Steve Smith (51, 50 balls) were caught in the deep.
With four required off final ball and 3 for a Super Over, Dan Christian went for an impossible 3rd run only to be run out as Mumbai players celebrated like never before.
