Edward N. Bailey of Swampscott, NSMC North Shore Children's Hospital medical director and chief of pediatrics, was recently honored by the Massachusetts Children's Trust Fund for his 15 years of leadership and service as chairman of its board of directors and for his commitment to the prevention of child abuse.
As part of its tribute, Children's Trust Fund announced the creation of the Dr. Edward Bailey Leadership Award. The award will be handed out to those who exemplify the same dedication to child abuse and neglect issues that Bailey has shown throughout his career. The first award was given to former state Rep. Kevin Fitzgerald in recognition of his work as a legislator to benefit the children and families of Massachusetts.
Bailey was a guiding force behind the creation of the Children's Trust Fund, which is the state's only organization entirely dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect.

Virtual world, real money
Whole new worlds are taking shape in cyberspace. But is it really just a case of second lives, same old messes? Matt Philp investigates. Dave Manley's story begins like the stories of so many other naive arrivals to a new town. Broke, with no prospects, he falls back on his only asset: his body. Dancing at a strip club leads to work as an escort (only with women, mind). Eventually, he banks enough to finance a climb to respectability. But this is where the going gets weird. In real life, Mr Manley is a genial, bald, bearded 71-year-old from Dunedin and his foray into the sex industry was not only vital, it was virtual. The stripping was entirely the work of his online alter-ego or "avatar" a tall, buffed, Nordic hunk he calls Jay. Mr Manley is living out his racy second life in Second Life, the Internet-based, fully immersive 3D world where you can be whoever you want to be, and which, it is claimed, now numbers four million registered users, or "residents".
