Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Google has launched a version of its Person Finder service for people caught up in the chaos following two explosions at the Boston Marathon.

The Google People Finder, which is a project of the Google Crisis Response division of Google.org, was developed to help those affected by the 2010 earthquake in Haiti connect with their loved ones, according to the company’s website.

Even in the best of circumstances it can be difficult to find a friend or family member after the Boston Marathon, an event that attracts thousands of runners and spectators from all over the world. (I can attest to this personally.)
