For the third time this year, a Rhode Island man with mental illness
has died after a clash with the police. WRNI's health care reporter Megan
Hall has more about the death of Mark Jackson.

We conclude our series on Rhode Island's unemployed with the profile of a man who has been jobless so long he's living in a tent. It's a consequence of unemployment that is more common than you might expect. WRNI's Flo Jonic has our story.

One of Rhode Island's virtues is its remarkably diverse, richly textured citizenry, many of whom emigrated from other nations.  Thousands of Rhode Island's teenagers are growing up trying to navigate between the world of their ancestors and contemporary America - certainly not an easy task, as we hear from 17-year old, Margaret Garcia. 

 Garcia is a recent graduate of the Providence Academy for International Studies and plans to attend Holy Cross College. She composed her essay as a participant in College Visions, a Rhode Island-based program that empowers low income and first-generation college-bound students to pursue higher education.

When doctors at Hasbro Children's Hospital operated on the wrong side of a child's mouth in May, it was one more reminder that patients can sometimes leave the hospital with more problems than when they entered. But the causes of those problems are not always as obvious as surgery performed on the wrong part of the body.
