Letter to the editor: Last chance to save democracy
To the editor: Folks, here’s where we stand. We have only one last chance to save our democracy, and that will be in the upcoming midterm elections. And they will be so crucial to our freedom that, temporarily, the old party names of Republicans and Democrats must fade into the background for a while. For this critical moment in our nation’s existence, they must take a back seat to more proper choices.

Building the Future of Healthcare in Walker County
Earlier this week, a column was published by Dr. Richard Watkins quoting financial information from a previous company that no longer operates the hospital. In 2020, Huntsville Memorial Hospital formed a new organization, and the financial data shared as current, was not. I had the privilege of having a personal conversation with Dr. Watkins, and after understanding what occurred, he encouraged me to share this perspective, so our community has a fuller picture of the future ahead.

Letter to the editor: What we call ‘progress’
To the editor: At some future time (if there are still humans left on Earth) some historian will conclude that the final fatal blow to the world’s democracies was social media. Prior to its inception, any individual’s conspiracy theories, unfounded statements or slanders would not ripple out much beyond the narrator’s circle of friends and acquaintances. But those same utterances on social media immediately reach a huge segment of our population.

Letter to the editor: A pivotal election year
To the editor: This year, 2024, may well go down in history as the year that the idea of America, and the democracy which embodies that idea, began to collapse. Such a disaster is not just possible. Depending upon who becomes our next president, it could be imminent. This would not be so if the non-Maga Republican senators and representatives in Congress weren’t reacting to their party dictator’s threats to ruin their political careers if they don’t do his bidding.
Letter to the editor: We must save our democracy
To the editor: This year we face a threat as perilous as World War II, which I lived through. As was the case then, we must make an extraordinary effort to save our democracy. We must set political allegiances aside and join the fight as united American citizens. If you prefer democracy to a dictatorship. If you appreciate the protections and freedoms provided within the Constitution.

Fetal macrocephaly: Pathophysiology, prenatal diagnosis and management
1 DEFINITIONS Macrocephaly means large head and is defined as occipitofrontal head circumference (OFC or HC) above the 98th percentile or greater than 2 SDs above the mean for gestational age.

Letter to the editor: No monkeys, please
To the editor: I recently solved a Cryptoquote that is the perfect metaphor for our current predicament: “When there are no great tigers in the deep mountain, even a monkey can become king.” In a recent letter to the editor, I spelled out the reasons why we need a truly great president at this time. Though we may not have one running in next year’s election, just make sure you don’t vote for a monkey. Patrick Shannon, Lawrence

Letter to the editor: Trump again?
To the editor: We are again at a point in our history where we need a truly great president: someone like Washington, Lincoln or Franklin Roosevelt — someone who can solve the myriad problems with which we are besieged: climate change, Russian and Chinese threats, autocratic attacks on democracies, having enough alternative energy in place before oil reserves get too low, a wealth and income gap that could ignite a revolution. This list calls for a president with exceptional qualities.
When it Rains, it Pours: An ACE in East Hampton
It’s a rainy summer Saturday on the East Coast. Our world was made for fun in the sun – beach, tennis, family, and friends doing things together outside, right? So now, what do you do? It certainly depends on where you are. Jersey shore? No brainer. Head to the boardwalk, it’s raining, but who cares? Dart in and out of drenched, overcrowded, aged, arcades; eat cannolis, ice cream and hoagies for brunch, lunch or whatever; and then on into town for a late afternoon matinee movie. Hmm?
Letter to the editor: GOP, clean your house
To the editor: When I was born, Herbert Hoover was president. So, I’ve lived a lot more history than most of you, and I think I’ve gained a fair amount of wisdom along the way. In addition, I am an Independent who has voted for both Republicans and Democrats. Lastly, I am not given to hysterical thinking. So, with that in mind, believe me when I say that our democracy is in peril, and the upcoming mid-term election is pivotal in saving it.
Letter to the editor: Regain control
To the editor: Honesty, honor, dignity, decency, truth and unity are all under attack. Fault lines are appearing in our modern civilization, while disinformation, ideology and political ambition prevent a collective approach to repairing them. We have a very short time in which to regain control over the global complexity we have created, and we cannot stand still and do nothing. It is time to bring new and innovative ideas to bear on this crisis.
Help combat the opioid crisis
Patrick Shannon A month ago I had the opportunity to visit Limerick, Ireland to speak at the University of Limerick School of law. I was asked to speak on the Opioid Crisis in the United States and our national response to this issue. My visit allowed me to compare the drug problems in each country and the responses. I found that Ireland does not have a similar problem with opioid and prescription drug abuse although a problem with heroin does exist.

The answer to the opioid crisis can be found locally
Patrick Shannon, for The Sault News The recent prescription drug and opioid abuse epidemic has resulted in the explosion of the treatment and prevention industry in the United States. The New York Times recently reported in its article “Addiction, Inc.” that our citizens are spending untold billions of dollars on questionable prevention and treatment services for substance misuse. As reported by the New York Times, many of the services are not only expensive but also dangerous.
Legislation intended to combat opioid abuse
Patrick Shannon As a member of the Michigan Prescription Drug and Opioid Abuse Commission (PDOAC), I was invited recently to attend Lt. Governor Calley’s signing of several pieces of legislation intended to combat the prescription drug and opioid abuse epidemic in Michigan. The new legislation will not take effect until July 1, 2018 and much of it addresses the prevention of the abuse. According to the Lt. Governor, in 2015 1,275 Michigan citizens died from opioid-elated overdoses.
Old challenges, new developments and new plays in Irish offshore exploration
More than 46 years of exploration in the Irish offshore has yielded modest commercial success. However, working petroleum systems have been proven in all the offshore basins. The pace of exploration has been controlled by: (a) data quality and technological advances; (b) geological understanding and plays; (c) fiscal and infrastructural environments; and (d) international conditions.
Treatment courts are one method of dealing with the opioid crisis
Patrick Shannon, for The Sault News Recently I was honored to host our treatment court graduation. This was a wonderful reprieve from the recent onslaught of groping allegations and garbage news that has permeated the news cycle. Five members of our treatment court were honored for completing the 18-month program of sobriety. Approximately 100 family members and friends attended the celebration.
Local citizens must take control of opioid prevention, intervention and treatment strategies
Patrick Shannon, for The Sault News Much of my time is spent working with people and legal issues surrounding the current opioid epidemic. For the past 5 years I have been serving as a judge in a small community in the Lower Peninsula. My Monday mornings are spent with the clients in our treatment court program. I witness weekly the utter distress caused by addiction to opioids and the resulting pain to the families of those addicted.
Taches, aka Lex Christopherson, Makes Melancholy Dance Music on To the Mountains
A tightly woven gaggle of men in flowery button-downs and women in wispy jumpers is hovering over the DJ table at a Wicked Paradise pool party. It’s 3 p.m. at the Mondrian Hotel and Tâches, birth name Lex Christopherson, is burning a tribal disco beat into the West Hollywood ether. The congregation is searching for a compromise between heedless hip shaking and balancing the liquid horizon in their cocktail glasses.
Why Facebook’s Dual Newsfeed Is Absolutely Necessary
This week, Facebook announced tests of a dual newsfeed system in which friends and family posts will occupy a primary feed while publishers’ posts will occupy a second. Publishers worldwide shit themselves into oblivion at the prospect of losing an estimated 60%–80% in referral traffic, and a fatal dart was cast into the heart of the already gasping old media.
A Bully’s Apology – abernation – Medium
When the idea to write an essay discussing sexuality and marketing first came to me, I was already conflicted with many unrelated issues. I was starting to realize that my life’s design was severely flawed, and the paranoia of inadequacy was clawing its way into my marrow. I’ve made my career on writing and music journalism. But once social media handed the whole world the ability to express itself through writing, my chosen medium was no longer sacred.

The Social Aesthetic Paradox — [Philosophy] – abernation – Medium
The following essay investigates moral questions we must answer in the advent of social technology. Social Media isn’t a platform. It’s creationism. It’s our chance to play god and write an origin story. With this power in our hands, it is wise to understand exactly what we create.
Drezo aka Andre Haglund Is the Antithesis of Today's Formulaic EDM Producers
In North Hollywood there’s an industrial stretch of Sherman Way whose pallid infrastructure forms the low end of a gradient that fades into a dreary, grey sky. A husky pre-teen boy is casually pedaling down the sidewalk on a rusty Schwinn 12-speed, wearing a U.S. military ballistic helmet. Forgotten car parts and skeletons of household appliances lean against the side streets, forcing automobiles to park in unorthodox configurations.
Hotel Garuda's Manila Killa Is Selling Out the El Rey With His Melodic Take on Future Bass
Chris Gavino, 23, graduated from George Mason University on the dean’s list in December. However, he doesn't plan on ever using his degree. He completed his higher education as a compromise with his Filipino parents that awarded him the ability to pursue a music career once the cap and gown were hung up, and he’s ready to prove that he got the upper hand in the exchange. A career in entertainment is a risky move made by many young people flocking to the West with big eyes and bigger ambitions.

At EDC Vegas, MsEasy's Street Performers Steal the Spotlight
It’s 3:42 a.m. in the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and a militarized sisterhood in neon orange-colored vinyl corsets is preparing to make the rounds.

Sanjoy Used His "Chammak Challo" Remix to Bluff His Way Into Bollywood
Just east of the 405 in Sherman Oaks, Sanjoy Deb is sitting in a cavernous studio, rolling through a trove of unreleased tracks. One has a heavy U.K. garage influence, another has a grinding electro feel, and the last is an electronic reggae tune with an Eastern backbeat.
