GRAND HAVEN, MI — Two diagrams were posted to easels side-by-side Thursday in an Ottawa County courtroom: one, an image of Ryan Kupres' son, Connor, in 2008, and the other, of his daughter, Layla, in 2012.
The images were marked with places where each child had suffered injuries. They looked strangely familiar. Red "X" marks stood out on both of each child's knees, symbolizing fractures to bones. Red markings also colored images of each child's head, symbolizing bleeding there.
Ryan Kupres, 28, already served prison time after he was convicted of first-degree child abuse for injuries Connor suffered four years ago. He faces a repeat of that experience if a jury convicts him of the same charge this week in Layla's case.

Jurors began deliberating about 11:30 a.m. Thursday, March 7, after the conclusion of Ryan Kupres' trial for first-degree child abuse. Prosecutors allege he caused multiple injuries doctors found on Layla's body when she arrived at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital on March 31, 2012.
Doctors determined Layla had fractures in both of her legs, both shoulders and on her right tibia near the ankle. She had bleeding on her brain and along her spinal cord.
Jurors heard testimony this week from doctors, from Layla's mother, Jessica Jones, and from the mother of Kupres' son, Connor, the child previously injured through abuse.
They also heard from Ryan Kupres, who took the stand Wednesday in his own defense.
Kupres multiple times told the jury he did nothing — accidental or intentional — that would have caused Layla's injuries.
But he acknowledged doctors were accurate in their description of the girl's broken bones and said he had no knowledge that they were caused by anything anyone else did.

Assistant Ottawa County Prosecutor JoEllen Haas read from a series of text messages Kupres exchanged with Jones in March 2012, referencing bruising on Layla that Jones had noticed.
"This can't keep happening," Jones said in one message, after asking him where the bruising came from.
Kupres replied: "It won't keep happening."
"He's admitted this is what he's doing under his care," Haas told jurors after reading the messages aloud during her closing statements Thursday. "What's clear in this case is that Ryan Kupres cannot handle a crying baby."
Contrary to what Kupres told jurors from the stand on Wednesday, Haas said, Layla did not vomit and fall limp because of sickness on March 30. She fell limp because Kupres shook her, frustrated with her continued cries.
Defense Attorney Philip Sielski urged jurors to consider testimony of when Kupres was at work the last week of March 2012, and the little time he had alone with Layla. He lived with his mother, who often assisted in the infant's care.
Kupres willingly took the stand to talk this week, Sielski said. "He was trying to be forthright with you."
Outside the courtroom, Jones spoke of Layla's recovery and the girl's life now. Jones said she was again granted full custody of her daughter in December after a period of supervised visits.
The girl spent nearly a month in the hospital last year but is expected to have no lasting side effects from her injuries. She is now walking and starting to talk.
"She's wonderful. She's completely recovered," Jones said of Layla, who has since celebrated her first birthday. "Every doctor refers to her as a miracle baby … she's definitely a testimony to God's abilities. Doctors can't explain it."

text: How do you put value on the really important things in your life? Your family, your country, your freedoms? I realized long ago the very best and most critical economic returns lie within our educational system. For most people in the United States, that means Public Education. Unlike some countries, this means a system for all students regardless of socio-economic background, ethnic origin, religion, mental, emotional, or physical challenges. Nationally, in Michigan, and in Alpena, public education is under attack. What should a high quality, up-to-date education system look like and sound like for both students and educators? The stakes for our community and country are greater than ever before. A long range, well planned, and well funded public education has value far beyond the immense economic impact in our society.

ANN ARBOR -- The news of Mitch McGary's decision to declare for the draft came as little surprise.
The Michigan sophomore is turning 22 in June and, though brief, his college career provided enough glimmers to make him a potential first-round pick.
So McGary announced Friday he will enter his name in the draft and give chase to his NBA dream.
That decision, however, was merely an afterthought -- washed away by McGary's accompanying admission of failing an NCAA-administered drug test in March and a drop-the-hammer one-year suspension that came with it.
"If it had been a Michigan test, I would've been suspended three games and possibly thought about coming back," McGary told Yahoo.com writer Dan Wetzel, who documented McGary's case in a story released Friday in conjunction with a U-M press release announcing McGary's departure. "I don't have the greatest circumstances to leave right now [due to the injury]. I feel I'm ready, but this pushed it overboard.
"I don't think the penalty fits the crime. I think one year is overdoing it a little bit."
Those words -- "possibly thought about coming back" -- resonated immediately across the college basketball landscape.
The theory stands that the NCAA took the option away from McGary on the basis that he tested positive for marijuana in one random testing.
According to the NCAA rules, at NCAA team championships, "student-athletes may be
selected from the official travel party roster, official gate/credential list, championship participation sheets or official championship form," to undergo a drug screening.
Per NCAA Bylaw 220.127.116.11.1, players failing a drug test are "ineligible for a minimum of one calendar year."
McGary is not alone is receiving the punishment.
In an email to MLive, NCAA associate director of public and media relations Michelle Brutlag Hosick said, "So far this academic year to date, 76 student-athletes in all divisions have received that penalty through both championship and year-round testing."
McGary told Yahoo he smoked marijuana between this year's Big Ten tournament and the NCAA tournament. According to the story from Wetzel, "Beilein said the fear of the NCAA's one-year suspension is so significant it caused the program, which already tests relentlessly, to drug test the entire team prior to the Big Ten tournament."
McGary was told by an NCAA representative that he had been selected to undergo a random drug test. He later learned from head coach John Beilein and U-M athletic director Dave Brandon that he failed the test and face a minimum one-year suspension from all competition.
Michigan, McGary told Yahoo, thought the penalty was too harsh and appealed the length of the suspension.
Had McGary failed a Michigan test, athletic department policy would have landed him a week away from team activities and a three-game suspension (10 percent of the regular season). A second failed test under the university policy would have called for a suspension lasting 33 percent of a season, while a third results in permanent ineligibility.
McGary told Yahoo he passed eight university drug tests in the last two years, including five this season. Those tests were administered despite McGary being limited to eight games due to lower-back condition.
Now the NCAA, ever a hotbed of debate, is being called into question.
The organization upheld McGary's year-long ban, but on April 15, lowered the penalty for a first-time recreational drug failure to half a season. With that policy not going into effect until Aug. 1, the NCAA upheld McGary's suspension, citing that he violated the rule under the old terms, according the Yahoo.

Pacific Oaks Children's School Welcomes Author and Scholar Susan Linn to Pacific Oaks College
In the first offering of the Parent Education Speaker Series, Dr. Susan Linn, author of The Case for Make Believe spoke to more than 80 people on Tuesday, February 7th in support of commercial-free childhood advocacy. She stressed the importance of imaginary play for healthy child development and urged audience members to become more active in battling the onslaught of increasingly kid-focused commercial marketing.
The co-founder and director of the coalition Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood encouraged the audience to become more proactive in protecting America's youth from the "advertisers, marketing firms, and product-makers [who] spend around 17 billion dollars a year to make sure our children consume what they're making. They want to create nothing less than cradle-to-the-grave brand loyalty."
In modern-day America, according to Dr. Linn, nurturing creative play is not only counter-cultural—it threatens corporate profits. Both timely and important, The Case for Make Believe helps readers understand how crucial child's play is—and what parents and educators can do to protect it. On Tuesday, she reminded audience members to look when advertising can go too far.
"The problem with these companies is that htey're not just selling toys...they're selling values, too."
"Child development, the way children develop, is very holistic. It's all over the place. What they take in today might not click for them until two years down the line. But then it's, 'Oh yeah, ah-ha.'"

STEP OUT WITH SENIORS:Don't let little fears trip you up
While in the kitchen putting away dishes, I heard a "thud" from the living room. I discovered Mom had tripped over a footstool and fallen.
Of course, she was embarrassed. When I asked if she had fallen before she told me she had once.
That's the day she put away the footstool and began to make some changes in her apartment to make it more "fall proof."
Her fall was purely accidental, but many of us take a tumble because we have not caught on to, or are unable to admit, we are not as steady on our feet as we used to be. Fear of falling is one of the biggest fears we seniors have because we know it can mean the end of our independent style of living.
Some of you reading this column do not consider yourselves to be seniors. However, you should know information compiled by the Washington State Department of Health shows at about age 55 the risk of injury or death following a fall goes up dramatically. Falls are not something that happen to us just in our later years. In addition, the Health Department reports that in recent years falls resulted in nearly 15,000 hospitalizations and more than 400 deaths among Washington residents 65 and older. In addition, Medicare paid millions to treat these injuries.
What makes us more likely to fall as we get older? Among the many reasons are changes in our balance, strength, vision, hearing and flexibility. Also, to be considered are changes in our health conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis and heart disease and medications which can cause dizziness along with loss of sensitivity in our hands and feet.
However, the No. 1 cause of falls is fear. So many seniors are afraid of falling they decide not to do anything active in order to protect themselves. This inactivity causes them to become progressively weaker and more likely to lose their balance and fall. So what are we going to do to keep us from falling?
Let's start with our general health. We are going to make a list of our medications and ask our doctor or pharmacist if any of them have side effects that can cause dizziness, hearing or vision problems or loss of balance. If so, we need to ask our doctor about other medications. We are also going to get our vision and hearing checked to see if we need any help in those areas.
Next on the list is making our home a safe place. You have probably read articles on how to safety proof your home, so I am going to highlight just a few that I feel are important. You need to have a clear path to get from your kitchen to your living room, to the bathroom and your bedroom. Take up throw rugs – they are dangerous.
Put night lights in your bedroom, bathroom and hallways so you can see where you are going at night. Put a bath mat with suction cups on the bottom or your tub and/or shower and buy a step stool with a handrail and use it to reach things up high.
Do everything you can possibly do to get stronger, more flexible and steadier on your feet. The only way to do this is to get moving! If you are unable to leave your home, seek out the two exercise programs designed for you on a local PBS station – "Sit and be Fit" and "Easy Yoga for Arthritis."
If you are able to get out, find an exercise class at your senior center, fitness center or YMCA. Sometimes, a hospital will offer classes.
Seniors, let's step out and make our lives better.

By Rabbi Mark Borovitz
I am still in awe from an experience I had this past week! On Wednesday evening, I had the honor and privilege of having a dialogue with Father Gregory Boyle of Homeboy Industries. Father G, as he is known to the homies, is a man of deep faith, deep thought, generosity of spirit and who is also quite brilliant. He is the epitome of what I aspire to be, a simple man who knows and lives God's Will in every part of his life. Father Greg has impacted the lives of tens of thousands of people positively by just being who he is, a man who lives his principles of kindness, caring, love, truth and compassion all the time.
We spoke about Redemption, which is always a fitting subject and especially this time of year in the Jewish Tradition. It was a fascinating hour+ discussion for the 150+ people who attended and the video of it will be on our website, www.beittshuvah.org sometime this weekend. Please watch it, I know it will lift your spirit and give you much to reflect on in your own life.
Father G's point was and is: STOP SEEING THE OTHER AND MARGINALIZING PEOPLE! I add the capital letters because I think that we make too many excuses and rationalizations to keep doing is. Father Boyle said it so well, lets expand the circle so we step on the margins and make them disappear. Lets see every person as human, no matter what their actions are and have been. This doesn't mean that there are not consequences for bad behaviors; it means that we don't dehumanize even those people who have dehumanized others. This is so hard for most of us. We want to differentiate ourselves from "the other." Yet, Father G teaches us to see the other as part of WE. This follows Jewish Teaching so fully.
At this time of Elul, I suggest and recommend that all of us do T'Shuvah with those that we have marginalized and made into the other. This way, we will create the messianic world of our dreams and in the words of the Prophets: "Swords will be turned into plowshares and men will learn war no more." Please follow the example and emulate the life of Father Greg Boyle, a modern day Prophet, and lets stamp out the lines that separate and create a circle where all of us are part of it.

The following is an update to a news item first reported here Wednesday
Fulton City Police Investigator Michael Batstone said today it was the worst case of child abuse he had seen in his 15 years with the department.
"I've never seen bruises on a child like that. Never, ever," Batstone said.
He said the child, who was treated at Oswego Hospital and released, was doing remarkably well, given her ordeal.
"She's a cute little girl," Batstone said. "Just a little button."
Robby Guppy, 17, of 604 E. Broadway St., told investigators Wednesday that he has an anger problem and can't control himself.
He said he punched the baby in the head with a closed fist five times on Friday night because she would not go to sleep. He said he burned her on the hand and ear lobe with a lit cigarette, causing second-degree burns, because she would not stop crying.
"I hit her as hard as I could," he told police. "I also shook her hard every time I got mad at her. I'm sorry. I can't help myself. I mean, I don't want to punch myself. That would make me madder."
In his statement to police, Guppy said the child's mother dropped the child off at his house Friday afternoon so she could attend Harborfest. He said after the toddler's mother left, he tried to get her to sleep and she kept crying.
"She would not stop," Guppy said. "She gave that cry that drives me up a wall. It is like the thing that pushes my anger button. I got mad and I spanked her on the butt but that did not work. She kept crying. I made a fist and I punch her in the head a few times. She did not stop, but, when this happened, when I hit her, I could not hear her cry. I could only hear my heart beat. I just left her in the room."
Guppy told police the child stayed in the room for 10 to 15 minutes and then came out on her own. Guppy said friends came over a few hours later and he played video games with them until 4:30 a.m. Saturday.
He told police when he moved the toddler to a love seat in the living room at about that time, she woke up and started to cry. He said, again, she wouldn't stop. He said he fixed her a bottle, which she refused to take and she "cried like forever."
Guppy said he again got angry.
"I slapped her in the face with an open hand four, five or six times. I totally lost control. I hit her all over. I don't know why."
He said she finally cried herself to sleep and he then went to bed, waking up at noon on Saturday.
"I hit her several times throughout the day all over her body. I did this with an open hand. I only punched her on Friday with a closed fist and I only hit her five times in the face."
Guppy said a friend came over again on Saturday and he and his daughter went over to the friend's house to play video games again.
He said it was around 10 p.m. and he was trying to put his daughter to sleep and it was "not working out."
Guppy said the child was crying and he was in the bedroom with her.
"I was smoking a USA Gold cigarette. (She) was again screaming and would not stop. I again lost control, I was yelling at her to shut up and stop crying."
He told investigators the toddler was on her back on a bed when he grabbed her by her arms and picked her up.
"I shook her, hard, I was mad. She still would not stop crying. I did not know what to do. I got madder. I took my cigarette and pushed the lit end against her hand. I told her to stop yelling. (She) screamed, She would not stop. I then put her on her side, I put the lit cigarette behind her ear lobe. I only held it against her face for a little bit. I kept yelling at her and slapping her. I was upset she would not stop. My anger went away. I stopped hitting her and I just let her cry."
Guppy said that again, the child cried herself to sleep.
"On Sunday, I was kinda nice to (her)," he said to the investigators. "Believe it or not."
In his statement, he told police that when his grandmother saw the child on Sunday, she expressed concern about the bruises on her body and was angry with him. Guppy said he told her that the toddler had fallen down the stairs.
"Gramma told me she had never seen any child that bruised up before from falling
Guppy said the child's mother came and saw her on Sunday and also expressed concern. Again, he said the child fell.
The child remained with Guppy until Monday evening, when she was picked up by her mother.
Guppy was arraigned Wednesday night by Fulton City Court Justice Jerome A. Mirabito on one count of second-degree assault, a felony; and one count of third-degree assault and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, both misdemeanors. He was sent to the Oswego County Jail in lieu of $5,000 cash or $10,000 bail bond.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
When you think of cutthroat competition, the discount brokerage market might not seem like the obvious place to look. But recently, price-cutting among brokers has been fast and furious. Yesterday, a familiar name joined the fray -- and its moves will have an impact not just on competing brokers but also on the entire exchange-traded fund (ETF) industry.
Vanguard announced that effective yesterday, it was cutting its brokerage fees across the board. Depending on the size of your account, you'll pay between $2 and $7 per trade, with million-dollar accounts offering 25 free trades per year. Even the smallest accounts will get the first 25 trades for $7, only then rising to $20.
Weighing in
That $7 figure is no accident. It undercuts the $7.95 commission structure that Fidelity announced back in February. It also beats the $8.95 charged by Charles Schwab (Nasdaq: SCHW ) .
Long known for its low fees, Vanguard's brokerage services division has been slow to entire the competitive discount brokerage market. For years, the company had above-average trading commissions, perhaps to emphasize its reputation favoring a long-term investment philosophy.
But what likely forced Vanguard's hand was Fidelity's arrangement with Blackrock (NYSE: BLK ) , the company behind the popular iShares line of ETFs. As part of its recent cost-cutting for customers, Fidelity began offering certain iShares ETFs at no commission.
Vanguard matched that offer, giving brokerage customers free access to trading its own ETFs. In doing so, Vanguard drew the battle lines for what may be the most important fight among major ETF providers.
Armed conflict
Already, Vanguard ETFs are in direct competition with iShares products for supremacy in certain sectors of the ETF market. Although State Street (NYSE: STT ) and its Global Advisors arm is behind the popular SPDR line of ETFs, Vanguard's ETFs often come with lower fees and have therefore found their own niche among ETF investors.
One area where iShares and Vanguard have come into direct conflict is in the emerging markets realm. With $35.5 billion in assets, the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSE: EEM ) is the largest emerging market ETF. But it has a relatively expensive expense ratio of 0.72%. Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock ETF (NYSE: VWO ) , on the other hand, has only $24.4 billion under management, but its rock-bottom expense ratio of 0.27% gives it a big cost advantage. Moreover, even though both track the same underlying index, Vanguard's ETF has managed to outperform the iShares offering slightly.
Sticking to its principles?
There is one area in which Vanguard is taking a decidedly different tack from other brokers: trading frequency. The new commission schedule includes a provision that says that if you buy and sell a given ETF more than 25 times in 12 months, then you'll be restricted from buying new ETF shares for 60 days. The provision is clearly aimed at extremely frequent traders, since you could still make round-trip buy-sell transactions once every two weeks and still be fine under the guidelines.
Overall, though, the strategy makes sense for Vanguard. It combines the best features of its two competitors' offerings. Like Fidelity, Vanguard is offering free trading of popular, liquid ETFs; but rather than having to go to an outside provider, Vanguard has its own ETFs to make available. And even though Schwab also offers in-house ETFs, they don't have nearly as much in assets as Vanguard, making them less liquid and harder to trade efficiently.
What's next?
It's clear that Vanguard's move will give more exposure to its ETF lineup, which can only help the company in the long run. The open question, though, is what State Street will do to compete with Vanguard and iShares. With Schwab's die already cast, the SPDR purveyor may have to seek an alliance a broker like TD Ameritrade (Nasdaq: AMTD ) or E*Trade Financial (Nasdaq: ETFC ) , both of which have thus far stayed out of the free-ETF wars.
For investors, Vanguard's price cuts and free ETFs further expand their ability to invest cheaply. Combined with Vanguard's long-established emphasis on low costs, I think the move is a winner for investors.

The Red Wings made a strong statement with a 6-1 rout of the Boston Bruins at the TD Garden Friday, just two days after a performance players and coach Mike Babcock described as "embarrassing" and "ridiculous."
The Red Wings got off to a strong start and were relentless against the team with the best goals-against average in the NHL.
Their top-six forwards, who had been unproductive of late, broke out in a big way.
Todd Bertuzzi scored two goals, the latter of which was his 700th career point. Henrik Zetterberg and Jiri Hudler each had a goal and two assists. Danny Cleary and Tomas Holmstrom each had a goal and an assist.
The team responded after being booed Wednesday in a 4-1 loss at home to the Nashville Predators, likely the low point of the season.
"There was a lot of pride involved," Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom said. "The team really wanted to respond. It showed from the start of the game. We played with a lot more desperation and played the way we can, and kept it up for most of the game.
"You could tell when the puck dropped we wanted to score and we were going after pucks, getting pucks at the net, and guys were getting rewarded."
Jimmy Howard, who was pulled in that loss to the Predators, made 25 saves for his NHL-leading 27th win.
"We hadn't been playing Red Wing hockey for a while," Howard said. "Sometimes you care so much you dig in a little too hard. We all needed to take a step back, relax a little bit. We had a great practice (Thursday), another great pregame skate this morning, so guys felt really good going into tonight."
The Red Wings have been inconsistent for several weeks, particularly on defense. This time, Babcock took a more hands-on approach in trying to solve the issue.
"What I've done with this group over the years is, normally, I let them solve their own problems, let them take control," Babcock said. "They normally do it all. Nick's an unbelievable leader, (Kris) Draper, Zetterberg, (Pavel) Datsyuk. This is first time in a long time we actually talked about stuff like we did the other day. I thought they really responded.
"We think we got a good hockey team and we weren't playing like a good hockey team. It doesn't matter how talented you are, if you don't work, you got no chance to be successful. We talked about it, said we can't let this happen."
Bruins backup goaltender Tuukka Rask had a rough night starting in place of Tim Thomas. He allowed five goals on 18 shots before being replaced by Thomas at the start of the third period.
Thomas is expected to start when these Original Six rivals complete their home-and-home series Sunday at Joe Louis Arena.
Leading 3-1, the Red Wings broke it open on goals by Zetterberg and Bertuzzi 24 seconds apart late in the second period. That was after Hudler had given his club some breathing room at 1:09 of the second period.
"We talked about it enough, we had to go out and start playing like we know how," Bertuzzi said. "We know how crucial these points are. It seems like everyone in the West is winning right now and we were playing a very tough Boston team and we were ready."
The Red Wings got off to the fast start they have been stressing for weeks, scoring on their first two shots to take a 2-0 lead less than four minutes into the game. Their 2-1 lead was the first time in eight games they have led after one period.
Bertuzzi opened the scoring at 1:10, blasting in a shot while on a two-on-one with Brian Rafalski. Cleary then scored at 3:10, driving to the net and converting a pass from Hudler.
David Krejci scored on the power play at 17:53 to cut Detroit's lead to 2-1 and briefly make a game of it. But the Red Wings scored three times on seven shots in the second period.
The struggling power play went 2-for-6.
Babcock praised the effort from pretty much everyone down the line, a sharp contrast from his previous post-game address.
"Z's group was real strong, I thought Pav's group was strong — Pav's starting to get his game back and him and Huds seem to have some chemistry," Babcock said. "I thought Draper, (Darren) Helm and (Patrick) Eaves played real well, did everything right the whole game, and Abby's (Justin Abdelkader's) group had a good night, too."

Radar Online claims that three pictures of Jenni "JWoww" Farley are being shopped around. The site describes two topless photos with mood lighting. In the third shot she reportedly has her back to the camera.
CBS News Crimesider blog wonders if the photos are being shopped illegally.
In an ironic twist, Farley had been marketing a shirt she made famous on the show. The shirt, which can best be described as a piece of fabric hung loosely around the front torso, retailed for $39.99 on her site.
Last week, she announced that she stopped selling the shirts because the clothing line had been picked up by a distributor. The shirts will become available again in a few months.
The shirts had been custom-made, she explains on her site, because "...you don't want to be that person at the club that sees someone else wearing the same thing"

The campaign has officially begun! On June 24th, 2012 the Brigitte Bardot left Australia bound for the South Pacific. After a relatively uneventful crossing, she and the crew arrived, with a pod of playful dolphins as a welcoming committee, at the capital city of the Solomon Islands, Honiara.
We chose the Solomon Islands as our first stop for two very important reasons. First, we have partnered with the Pacific Voyagers Society to help spread their message of culture and conservation – finishing a momentous three year, 20,000 mile journey here in the Solomon Islands. Second, the Pacific Festival of Arts, which happens every four years, is being hosted here – and draws thousands of people from around the world. The theme? Celebrating the oceans of course.
We've been incredibly busy these last few days serving as ambassadors, not just for the sharks, but for Sea Shepherd as well. Our arrival caused quite a buzz, everyone eager to determine why our ship was sitting in the harbor. Not least of which, I am sure, the Taiwanese contingency, who we've been told have recently invested $20 million dollars into the country (and are proud sponsors of the arts festival) for the majority of its tuna fishing rights.
With a huge mission on our hands, we are focused on establishing the relationships necessary, gathering information, and determining what it is going to take to help the South Pacific and its amazing people take back their sharks.
Last night, we had the opportunity to present our mission for the first time to a delegation of 300 from more than a dozen island nations. To hear and see the faces of the crowd as we pledged our support to their environment, their heritage, and their future, I knew that while we are up against the odds – we have the grassroots support of the people of the Pacific. At that moment, I realized the road may be a long one, but together we can succeed. After all we share the same goal - to create a safe place for sharks to recover and flourish – ensuring that generations of Fijians, Tahitians, Solomon Islanders, Palauans, Cook Islanders, Samoans, and everyone in between will know a healthy ocean full of sharks for generations to come.

Hartford Men Notch Second Win of Season
from press release
WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – The University of
Hartford lacrosse team picked up its second win of the season in a
10-6 final over Holy Cross on Wednesday afternoon at Alumni
Hartford improves to 2-4 overall while Holy Cross drops to 2-5 on the season. Sophomores Aidan Genik and Ryan Compitello combined for five goals and eight points on the afternoon while sophomore Scott Bement tallied his fourth career win in goal. Junior Michael Cudmore registered three points on a pair of goals and an assist.
Hartford never trailed in the game and led 6-3 by halftime. The Hawks dented the scoreboard in the first quarter with four goals while allowing just one by the visitors. Cudmore put the first mark on the scoreboard after seeing just 99 seconds tick off the game clock. The junior then fed line mate Compitello with 8:24 remaining in the first quarter to put Hartford up 2-0. Holy Cross responded mid-way through the stanza however the Hawks answered with two-straight to take a 4-1 lead.
Chris Smirti doubled the Crusaders score with his 13th goal of the season just three minutes into the second quarter but the Hawks tacked on two of their own as Genik and Justin Bearse netted unassisted scores. James Kennedy cut into the Hawks' four goal lead when he connected with Edison Parzanese to bring the Crusaders within striking distance with a 6-3 halftime score.
Holy Cross came out of the locker room firing with two unanswered scores by Douglas Broussard and Smirti. An unassisted goal by Cudmore followed by Genik's third goal of the contest put down the Crusaders' threat and allowed the Hawks to regain a three goal lead at 8-5.
The Hawks used a pair of fourth quarter goals by Martin Bowes and Genik to cushion their lead at 10-5. Bement and the Hartford defense only allowed one goal in the final quarter as the sophomore goalie turned away four of the Crusaders' shots.
Bement finished with seven saves while recording his second win of the 2010 season. Junior Tim Fallon also had a strong game for the Hawks, winning 12 of 19 face-offs and scooping up a game-best seven ground balls.
After a 10-day layover, Hartford will travel to Fairfield, Conn. for a match-up with in-state rival Sacred Heart on Saturday, March 27. The Hawks and Pioneers will duke it out under the lights with a 7:00 p.m. start time.

too much water, lipid, protein, or carbohydrates
how are substances in intracellular accumulations produced?
may be produced by the cells or may be storing products of pathologic processes
What are the 3 events that most accumulations are attributable to?
- a normal endogenous substance is produced at a normal or increased rate, but metabolism rate is inadequate to remove it
- a normal or abnormal endogenous substance accumulates bc of genetic or acquired defects in the metabolism, packaging, transport, or secretion of these substances
- an abnormal exogenous substance is deposited and accumulates bc the cell has neither enzyme to degrade it nor the ability to transport it to other sites.
what is are some examples of a normal endogenous substance that is produce at a normal or increased rate, but metabolism rate is inadequate to remove it?
- fatty change in liver bc of intracellular accumulations of triglycerides
- reabsorption protein droplets in the epithelial cells of renal proximal tubules bc of increased leakage of protein from the glomerulus
What are some examples of accumulations of abnormal or normal substances bc of genetic or aquired defects in metabolism, packaging, transport, or secretion of these substances?

in cairn terrier, min poo, blue tick
hound, beagle, pomeranian, polled
dorset sheep
- B-a-1 antitrypsin deficiency
What is B-a-1 antitrypsin deficiency?
single amino acid substitutuion in the enzyme results in defects in protein folding and accumulation of the enzyme in the ER of the liver seen as globular eosinophilic inclusion bodies

- moderately fast contraction time and long term anaerobic activity
How do intracellular accumulations of proteins present?
- rounded eosinophilic droplets, vacuoles, and aggregates in cells
what are the 2 causes for protein accumulations in cells?

- membrane of alveolar walls
- microthrombi in DIC
- Amyloid
What is amyloidosis?
condition associated with a number of inherited and inflammatory disorders in which extracellular deposits of fibrillar proteins are responsible for tissue damage and functional compromise
What are abnormal fibrils?
produced by aggregation of misfolded proteins and have beta-pleated sheet conformation
What is systemic amyloidosis?
involves components of the immune system
- probably related to abnormal protein folding and immunological abnormalities
How is amyloidosis caused by normal proteins?
they are normal proteins that have an inherent tendency to fold improperly, associate and for fibrils, and do so when they are produced in increased amounts
What is primary amyloidosis?
- Ig-light chain
- plasma cell proliferation
- uncommon in animals, common in humans

- older dogs (idiopathic)
In old dogs, where does amyloidosis predominantly occur?
around the blood vessels in the heart and the brain

Instead, as the local woman lights her family's menorah to commemorate the holiday that began Friday night, she sees a symbol of a modern-day battle between good and evil.
"It's a beautiful ritual. The idea of bringing light at the time of the year when it's most dark is so symbolic," said Libman, chairwoman of the religious life committee at Congregation Ahavas Israel, a Grand Rapids synagogue."The commemoration of the miracle of Hanukkah is a commemoration of the miracle of light in darkness. We know that light can come to darkness, that peace can still prevail in the world."
Despite sharing the same season, Hanukkah stands apart from Christmas both in its origin and observance.
Still, gift-giving plays an increased role in the holiday known for its dreidels and latkes.
And though there is a religious underpinning that dates back more than two millennia to a Jewish military victory, it is really a "party holiday" when "you get to eat fun, greasy food," Libman said.
"For me, the basic message of Hanukkah is a time to get together with people that you care about," said Mark Binder, a Rhode Island storyteller who was to perform Friday at a Temple Emanuel holiday dinner in Grand Rapids.
"People take religion very seriously today and I have to laugh about it. It's sad that we're fighting wars about religion still, as far as I'm concerned.
"I like to say that I'm Jewish the way (20th-century novelist William) Faulkner is southern. When I tell a story, my objective is to transmit joy."
Binder starting writing Hanukkah stories several years ago and was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award with "A Hanukkah Present," a fictional account of how gift-giving became part of the holiday's culture.
He also tells "Lethal Latkes," a story about a bad batch of the prized potato pancakes often consumed during Hanukkah, and several other Hanukkah tales.
The historical Hanukkah story dates to 200 B.C., when the Jewish temple was rededicated after rebel guerrillas ousted a foreign oppressor intent on eradicating Jewish customs.
As the story goes, there was only enough olive oil to light the temple's eternal flame, the symbol of God's presence, for one day. Miraculously, the flame burned for eight days, long enough for a new batch of oil to be pressed.
Hence, the Hanukkah roles of oily latkes and the dreidel, a four-sided spinning top with a Hebrew letter on each face to form an acronym for the phrase "a great miracle happened there."
"There's not a huge religious component (to Hanukkah), but there's certainly a festive air to the holiday," said Rabbi Michael Schadick, Temple Emanuel rabbi.
"On one hand, Hanukkah is a celebration of a military victory, that when the defeat occurred they went back into the temple and they cleaned it up.
"The custom is to make known the miracle of the holiday by placing a menorah in the window. Throughout Jewish history, this menorah has always been a symbol of a better or brighter tomorrow. It's a symbol that there's hope even in times of darkness."

I have been disappointed by the way my local community and legislators such as state Sen. Diane Savino and Assemblyman Matthew Titone have reacted to the proposed housing on Fort Place, which will be run by Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Centers for persons diagnosed with mental illness.
The housing will be a boon to the local economy with many jobs created directly through the immediate staffing of the supervised location and indirectly through the new residents spending their money and food stamps here at local business locations.
We are speaking about human beings and it seems inherently wrong for the community to try to deprive them of a place to live, especially while forty percent of veterans returning from the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters who seek treatment from Veterans Administration hospitals do so for mental illness.
Also having past personal experience of a Saint Vincent-run residence, I can report that there were no incidents of violence within the residence or without.
I hope the community realizes that this is good for the area and stops discriminating against the members of their community who seek treatment for mental illness.

We came into the race knowing that for Levi
to escape would be a difficult thing, as he would be well watched among the
riders for the lead GC. But with Jani and I only a little out of the
lead, we thought that it would leave us some room to play. The plan of
the day was to have Levi attack the last time up the climb, trying to
break it into a small, select group. From there, Jani and I would try
to attack to win the stage, or, with a little luck, maybe even the
overall win. We were hoping the Garmin boys would be coming out to play
as well, since they still had a full team of eight, giving them a lot of
guys to use.
On the first time up the climb, the Garmin boys hit it hard, using everyone on their team, with the exception of David Zabriskie, to completely destroy the field. The pace up the climb was blazing fast, to say the least. Riders were dropping out of the back of the field faster than you could count them! They had the front group down to about 20 guys, and we were only 15 miles into the race, and Team RadioShack was getting exactly what we wanted.
Before the first lap ended, race leader Mick Rogers was down to only two support riders, plus himself to try to protect his lead. The time trial stage winner, Tony Martin, rode like three riders, though. He single-handedly did the entire next lap on his own, made it over the climb, and did the third lap with some help from Garmin and UHC. They were chasing a strong break that was three minutes up the road, with some dangerous riders, including Popo and George Hincapie, who was only a little more than six minutes down on the general classification at the start of the day. Garmin had started riding with Columbia to protect their team GC standing, which they were losing to "The Shack" with Popo three minutes up the road.
We hit the last climb, and all of the action that we had seen so far failed to compare to the action on the final lap. Immediately on the climb, Jani hit it hard. I was doing 500 watts on his wheel, and what was left of the field (if you can call it that), was blowing up behind us. After Jani did his turn on the front, Levi attacked, and went up the road with Mick Rogers on his wheel. Just behind, Zabriskie used his teammate, Ryder Hesjedal, to keep Levi close until he eventually had to jump across as Ryder was starting to fade. I followed Zabriskie's wheel up to Levi and Mick, and we were suddenly a foursome. The speed was intense, and I was starting to feel the effects of the many days of racing up to that point.
But the plan of the day was coming together. Ryder made it back to our little group, with just a few hundred meters to go to the top of the first part of the climb, just as we were also catching Popo. Popo drove us down the small descent, and as the road went up again, I took the front and kept the pace going. Just as we began to near the KOM at the summit of the climb, Zabriskie attacked us hard. Everyone was able to follow with the exception of Popo, who lost contact and had his own battle with pain and suffering to pull himself back on once again. Just a few seconds after Zabriskie eased up, Ryder threw in the attack that I had been waiting for. I was straining hard to hold his wheel, not even realizing that we had left the others behind until Ryder pointed it out to me that he wanted the stage win and I could get the individual general classification win if we worked together.
At that moment, I looked back, realized the size of the gap that we already had gotten to the others, gave him the nod, which basically meant that we would be teammates to the finish of the race. With that, we threw everything we had left into it. We traded turns pulling until we hit the descent, with Ryder doing quite a bit harder pulls than me. On the descent, he was taking all of the risks possible, until we caught the remnants of the break, which was made up of three riders, including George Hincapie.
We used every inch of road, from side to side, just barely keeping the bikes off the dirt and upright. As we caught the three leaders, we were finally able to ease up a bit, and take the pulls at a more reasonable pace. As we reached the bottom, everyone in the break started looking to me to do the work, knowing that I was racing for the overall win. I was doing everything I could to keep the pace up and not lose time, as each of the riders now were playing tactics with their position and gauging how much energy they would spend.
Finally, we reached the last kilometer, where I drilled it to the last corner and into the finish. Once again I was numb and crossed eyed, as Ryder blew past me to take the stage win, and I hung on for another fourth-place stage finish. It didn't quite get me the overall win, but it was enough to move me up to fourth overall in the general classification. It wasn't quite what I was hoping for, but in bike racing, that's just the way it goes sometimes. But it was an exciting dual between three of the best teams in the world, all the way from the start of the week in Nevada City to the finish today in Thousand Oaks. And hats off to Mick Rogers for a well deserved win.
Now I'm heading back up to Bend for a week with the kids, a little rest, and some more training before it's time to head to Europe for the Dauphine and then hopefully the Tour de France.
Hope you enjoyed the articles as much as I enjoyed writing them. Until next time...

Associated Press
While opposition parties support the bill's plan for 20 percent of electricity to come from renewable sources by 2020, lawmakers had bickered over a plan to slash and tax carbon emissions. The opposition Liberal party had urged the government to split the bill so the renewable energy portion was not dependent on the carbon emissions scheme.
Climate Change Minister Penny Wong said the renewable energy portion of the bill would now be voted on separately from the emissions trading scheme, which sets a national cap on carbon emissions and allows for the selling and trading of permits that allow large industries extra emissions.
"We think the best arrangement would have been the one we put forward, but we're serious about renewable energy so we have gone to Plan B," Wong told reporters in Canberra.
The Senate voted Thursday to reject the combined legislation, which proposes a tax on industries' carbon emissions starting in 2011 and a limit on Australia's overall pollution.
The government wants to slash Australia's emissions by up to 25 percent from 2000 levels by 2020 if the United Nations can agree on tough global targets at a Copenhagen summit in December.
Liberal leader Malcolm Turnbull called Wong's announcement "a victory for common sense."
"We'll certainly negotiate with her in good faith in the course of this week with the view of getting the renewable target legislation passed," Turnbull told reporters in Sydney. "What she should now do, now that she's in such an accommodating state of mind, is sit down and negotiate with us about the emissions trading scheme. We're prepared to support legislation if it's in the right shape."
With Sunday's splitting of the bill, the government hopes to pass the renewable sources legislation next week.

Syracuse head coach Greg Robinson got wound up after the 41-10 loss to South Florida. Here is one long point he made:
"It's a frustrating situation," he said. "It is, for me. I know I want want everybody else wants. We all want it now. But you know something? It isn't going to happen like that. I know that. As I look at that today that we're going against, I'm telling you, right now, it was different. We've got to keep working. I know people don't want to hear that anymore. That's all I say but it's really the truth. It's what you've got to do. You've got to fight through it. It's trying to put together the older players that are real players and the young players that are coming along. You have struggles. And today, it was very apparent to me.
"What I tell you is, there's a lot of people out there, the inexperience got to us. They got to us. Then there's also a few of them out there that I wish were out there that can't be out there with us. There's a whole bunch of them, to be honest with you. It's real. Sometimes people don't want to hear that, but it's a fact. I've been sitting here trying, because I hate to sit here and sound like I'm making excuses. I'm not. I'm telling you what it is.
"And we're heading in the right direction, contrary to what others might want to think. Everybody thinks it's presto. It isn't that way. OK. There's good football players in here that are working to get to be outstanding players. And they're gonna ... and we continue to recruit the way we've been recruiting ... it's going to get real good. And I feel good about what's building in this class. Again, I want you just to feel where I'm coming from."
I asked Greg, isn't it a hard sell to say that you're headed in the right direction after a loss like this?
"It's not a sell. It's what I believe. I do," he said. "I know what we have. I know what we went into this game with ... with our situation. We had a lot of beat-up players. We had players that played the game that were hurt and hurting. We have players not playing the game. People forget about them. All of a sudden, they're not a part of it anymore. There are 5, 6, 7 players that aren't playing. Well, that's important. There are young players that are playing that are going to be good players and they've displayed some things already this year, that really, in that game, it bit up and jumped up at us. So I see that. I understand it. I have to swallow and realize they're young people. And they're trying. They are trying. Sometimes, they don't get it. That's just the way it is.
"That's what I say. I look at the nucleus. There's a whole lot of people that are in this program, that given time, and watch them develop, they're going to be good football players. And they're all over the place. They're working their way into it. On top of it, a number of our older players are banged up. They are. There's guys out there today that were playing that, I'm tell you, they're playing because they love the game. But they're not at 100 percent. All in all, it still comes down to making mistakes early that take you out of a game like that, quickly."
