Space, the final frontier …
Since the spectacular Apollo moon landing in 1969 we have lost our way when it comes to big projects for putting humans into space. Some let down was inevitable. After all, the moon landing was one of the greatest achievements in human history. It's just awfully hard to top that. After the Apollo missions we built the space shuttle, which was impressive, but in the end it was pretty much a magnificent space-truck to move people and cargo into Earth's low orbit. In terms of inspiration, the shuttle program was lacking compared to the feat of landing men on the moon and returning them safely to Earth.
We built some space stations too, first Skylab, and lately, in collaboration with other nations, the International Space Station or ISS. But these have been yawners and perhaps not worth the money spent. The average person is left wondering why we are spending billions of dollars to build and maintain these fragile habitats. There is just not much inspiring about them, and they haven't mattered much for advancing science either. The ISS may cost over $100 billion before its final days, and one must wonder what better space exploration projects could have been funded in its place. Aboard the ISS there is no gravity, living quarters are cramped, you sleep floating in space – even using the toilet is comical and primitive. We are still stuck in the 1960s in many ways when it comes to putting human beings into space.
As the second decade of the 21st century rolls along – isn't it time to expect something much grander for our human endeavors into space? Isn't it time for something that will truly inspire us again while at the same time definitively giving humanity a sustainable, permanent presence in space?
If we are going to spend hundreds of billions of dollars putting humans into space, including visiting other celestial bodies like the moon and Mars, it's time to get past the mentality of one-shot space missions. America is an affluent nation with 27% of the world's GDP. We can afford to dream much bigger. Doing a one-shot mission to Mars makes no sense given its high cost and that all of the equipment used in the mission will be discarded or put into museums. A one-shot mission to Mars is really just a souped-up version of our first one-shot mission to the moon. Once the Mars feat is done, the party is over, just like it was soon over after we landed on the moon. So after a one-shot Mars mission we will be back to scratching our heads trying to figure out how humans will ever get firmly established in space. As incredible as it would be to see humans walking on the surface of Mars as part of a one-shot mission, we have to wonder if there is a better way to tackle the challenge of human space exploration.
So instead of a one-shot space project to get humans to Mars for a limited visit, we need to think in terms of a sustainable human presence in space. From this point of view, a mission to take humans to Mars would simply fit into our human-supporting infrastructure in space where humanity has a permanent presence. Thus we need a space strategy that will completely eclipse the Apollo-style programs of rocketing humans to other places as one-shot affairs.
So let's think outside the box. What would be a much bolder vision for human space exploration? We need a profoundly different strategy. And in fact there is something entirely different to consider – and it's sitting right in front of us – inspired by our science fiction. You might call it Visions of Enterprise.

I know after Lonestar I was a little deflated, having the swim nix'd from the race. I immediately signed-up for Redman, for my first half-ironman distance and that had me stoked. Then, we all lost a beloved BFF. Silverlake didn't pan out the way I hoped either -- I had an improved swim and bike over last year, but my run was way worse -- that f'd with my head.
All that said, I feel like my biking and swimming are doing fine, which is something positive. Of course there's always room for improvement, but those disciplines aren't suffering like my running is.
My coaches notice I'm not the same as I was over the Winter and they're trying help me find my way, so to speak. It's no secret to I've had a string of mental/emotional challenges and I've just been trying to bring some consistency back into my training and get my head fully back into the game, believing I am a strong athlete, not a fat, slow, undeserving-to-participate kind of athlete.
It seemed like after my 2-3 weeks of inconsistency it just all of a sudden turned hotter than Hades here in Houston. I mean like in the snap of a finger! My mediocre run pace has increased tremendously (as everyone's has, but I feel like mine just launched to an all-time high!) and my legs just feel like dead weights. Of course with Redman 20 weeks away, I'm nervous.
So we're changing some things up for a week or two and see if we can inject some life back into these mobile tree trunks of mine. :)
Last week my training log was almost a completely "green" week (my training session blocks turn green if I complete sessions in full), with the exception of cutting my portion of the "Noon in June" half marathon short -- that box turned yellow (ugly!).
Speaking of the Noon in June. This was by far one of the toughest challenges I had, and I was more anxious about doing this run than any race I think. I had myself all worked up! It's essentially a half marathon run in the middle of the day. It's not an organized race, it's just a
I've run father than 6 miles plenty of times. It's not a unique feat for me, but this run had more mental purpose than anything. I quite literally fought with myself the entire time. Asking myself where that athlete was who was rip-roarin' ready for Lonestar? I was talking to E, asking her to show me the fun in Running (she hated running, but still smiled!). I pleaded with myself to believe I am better and stronger than my mind was allowing me to perform. At mile 4, I was running through the trails, not a stitch of wind and nothing but thick breathe but thick, hot air. I took shelter in the pavilion shade for a couple minutes, felt the slight wind and regrouped. I won't go into details, but it wasn't pretty. There were some tears, some yelling and some foot stomping. Yeah, I looked crazy in every sense of the true meaning of the word. I think any anger or sadness I've had about anything but hadn't expressed came out in those few minutes.
After that though, I felt better. I mean really better. I won in the battle of Me vs. My Mind.
I'm a dedicated athlete.
I'm a strong athlete.
I'm an athlete with a shitload of potential which I'll never see if I sell myself short.
Up until Monday, I couldn't find it in myself to register for Y Freedom because that was E's race. I wanted to do it, but just couldn't Her son is doing it with some friends, so I really wanted to as it's his first triathlon! Still I held back. After Sunday's run I had a change of heart, and registered. I need to do this race to honor her and for myself.
After Y Freedom is River Cities.
After River Cities -- Redman!

Does anyone have any suggestions for handling a torn whitetail ear?
The tear is about an inch long starting at around the tip and running straight down. Any mending advice? The tear is fortunately down the backside however the skin is too thin to sew. Use a liner only? Can some sort of tape be used to bring the two pieces together? Is the bondo method completely out of the question? Any tips would be great!

The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine's commitment to livestock farmers includes giving them models to understand the changing times, and tools for staying at the forefront of livestock practices.
As part of the commitment, the Swine Teaching and Research Facility at New Bolton Center in Kennett Square, Pa. has been expanded and updated. The project was funded, in part, by a donation from The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The facility, first opened in 2001, provides an alternative model for the housing of pregnant and lactating sows. The unique husbandry scheme it employs has been adapted by swine producers on more than 20 different farms across the country to house approximately 40,000 sows. The swine center has now been updated to examine the latest trends and technologies being implemented in European swine production facilities.
The 16,000-square-foot building features state of the art technologies for animal comfort, feeding and nutrient management, primarily for 200 sows and their piglets. An additional 6,000 square feet of animal space has been added to the existing 10,000-square-foot farrow-to-feeder pig facility reflecting two major changes.
New farrowing rooms are free of crates. Instead farrowing pens are designed with specific areas for piglet sleeping, piglet nursing/sow laying and sow elimination. The second major change involves the expansion and modification of the gestation area for pregnant sows. The sows now have the opportunity to go outside and may choose from several different styles of bedded areas within pen gestation on which to sleep or lounge. These changes provide opportunities to research the need for bedding, outdoor access and alternatives to the farrowing crate.
Still in place is electronic sow feeding, a computerized feeding system that utilizes a microchip to uniquely identify each animal and ensures individual animal nutrition even in a group setting. A separate computer-controlled mix mill and pneumatic delivery system allows any animal in the barn to be feed any ration at any time.
Thomas Parsons, associate professor and director of the Swine Teaching and Research Center, designed the new facility based on his studies of European farms where customer demands have required the development of alternative husbandry practices. The facility was constructed by Farmer Boy Ag Systems of Myerstown, PA. Equipment for the project was supplied by Schauer Agrotonics, Prambachkirchen, Austria; MIK International, Siershahn, Germany; and Automated Products, Assumption, Ill. Breeding stock for the farm will be donated by PIC, Hendersonville, Tenn.
According to Ines Rodriguez, veterinarian in charge of swine health and welfare at the center, "Alternative husbandry systems are of increasing importance to U.S. pork producers as there is a growing awareness among consumers about where their food is coming from. Consumers are questioning how the animals raised for food production are reared."
Improved animal welfare, minimal environmental impact, and the absence of antibiotics and hormones are all attributes that many modern consumers are seeking." The approximately 4,000 piglets born at the facility each year will be sold to independent producers in an antibiotic-free/welfare friendly niche market. An additional 100 piglets are sold to young participants of the Chester County 4-H Pig Club.
Alternative husbandry practices offer farmers economic benefits. Animal comfort and health are key to good production and often a premium can be garnered for these animals. "This project," says Rodriguez, "has been good for both large and small Pennsylvania producers who have found different niches in the market as welfare-friendly producers." Nearly 10 percent of the sows housed on Pennsylvania farms are utilizing pen gestation systems like those used at New Bolton Center.
The facility is designed to allow for observation of the animals while still maintaining a high level of biosecurity. A 1,000-square-foot classroom in the center of the facility has windows overlooking the gestation area and viewing windows in the ceiling of the new farrowing facility constitute the floor of a loft observation area. Another feature of the facility is its capacity to meet 10 percent of its energy requirements through the use of solar power.

Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak might get the last laugh after a photoshopped image of him strolling away from an exploding hospital was used in a Toronto-area Liberal candidate's campaign door hangers.
The image, which puts Hudak in the place of the Joker from a scene in the Batman movie, The Dark Knight, was tweeted nearly a month ago by Postmedia reporter, Ishmael Daro. It also appears to have wound up on Steven Del Duca's campaign material.
The attack ad, however, will not be a laughing matter for Liberal leader Kathleen Wynne, who is expected to be questioned about the flyer as she makes six stops in Toronto on Wednesday, leading up to election day. It is unknown how many flyers were circulated.
Del Duca, who is a candidate in Vaughan, also tweeted an apology to Hudak on Wednesday:
In bold blue letters, the door hanger asks, "Do you trust Tim Hudak and the Ontario PCs with your future?" then lists bullet points about how the Liberals claim Hudak's policies would affect public service jobs, education, tuition costs and transportation.
Polls are open Thursday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Choosing mastectomy or not: Studying young women's surgical choices
Jeff's targeted therapy has kept his advanced lung cancer at bay.
Featured here are two examples where computational biology is
helping to make sense of an increasingly information-rich
The laboratory of stem cell biologist Stuart Orkin, MD, chair of the Department of Pediatric Oncology, identified a novel enzyme that safeguards the
identity and pluripotency of embryonic stem (ES) cells. Together
with computational biologist
Guo-Cheng ("GC") Yuan, PhD, of the Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology, Orkin is defining the novel
mechanisms that regulate cellular identity and cell-fate switching
during ES cell development. These rely on an understanding of the
molecules that play essential roles in development and in the
proliferation of tumor cells.
Histones, the spool-like proteins around which DNA winds to form
chromatin, are critical to embryonic development because they
undergo methylation and other epigenetic modifications that affect
gene expression. Enzymes, called methyltransferases, transfer a
methyl group onto the tails of histones at fixed locations on
chromatin. This marks the gene at that site for repression or
activation, depending on where methylation occurs in the histone.
One of the protein complexes that synthesize these methylation
marks is Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), which acts as a
master epigenetic regulator of ES cells. To maintain pluripotency
of the cell, PRC2 binds to developmental genes and mediates
methylation via the EZH2 methyltransferase within the complex,
thereby repressing differentiation genes. When the cell is destined
to develop into different lineages, however, PRC2 de-associates
from its target genes, allowing them to be fully expressed and for
differentiation to occur.
Until recently, scientists believed that EZH2, which is
up-regulated in some cancers, was the only enzyme directly
responsible for methylation on histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27). Then
Xiaohua Shen, PhD, a research fellow in the Orkin laboratory,
identified a new methyltransferase, EZH1, which is homologous to
EZH2 and able to transfer methylation marks to H3K27. After
interrogating a 45-million-probe microarray to locate the marks and
target genes of both EZH1 and EZH2, Orkin turned to Yuan to analyze
the enormous data set. "Traditional biochemical and molecular
analyses are rudimentary compared to what a true computational
biologist can do," says Orkin.
Yuan and his postdoctoral fellow, Yingchun Liu, PhD, sifted
through the dizzying array of numbers in order to find the loci
where the EZH proteins bind, to map these loci to their chromosomal
locations, and to search complex databases to uncover the genes at
those sites. They also assessed whether the binding sites of EZH1
correspond to the same genomic regions as the H3K27 marks; indeed,
both EZH1 and EZH2 co-localize with H3K27 on chromatin. Genome-wide
study and computational analysis thus confirmed biochemical and
genetic evidence that EZH1 compensates for, and complements, EZH2
by targeting the same genes. Interestingly, in cells lacking EZH2,
only one-third of target genes retained H3K27 marks due to the
presence of EZH1. These genes were more often associated with
lineage differentiation, while genes losing H3K27 marks were
associated with non-developmental functions.
"Other scientists believed that EZH1 has no role whatsoever,"
says Orkin, who is renowned for defining the transcription factors
governing differentiation. "But with GC's help, we made a solid
case to the contrary. This collaboration gave us real confidence in
our data and insight into the function of these genes."
More exciting work will happen in the next step of this
research, says Yuan. "The real question is: how does EZH1 know
which set of genes to target when EZH2 is depleted?" It's a mystery
he hopes to help solve using a new computational method he
developed for other purposes, but has since adapted to study
Polycomb binding.
"The identification of EZH1 as a novel methyltransferase acting
on H3K27 demonstrates the diversity in mammalian Polycomb
repressive complexes," explains Orkin. "This discovery should set
the stage for new developments in the role of chromatin in stem
cell pluripotency and cancer biology."
One day, after consoling yet another patient whose ovarian
cancer had stubbornly resisted platinum agents, clinical
investigator Ursula Matulonis, MD, of Medical Oncology, sought the expertise
of computational biologist John Quackenbush, PhD, of Biostatistics and Computational
Biology. She wanted to apply modern molecular techniques, such as
DNA microarrays, to understand platinum resistance in ovarian
cancer, the most deadly gynecologic malignancy. The
cross-disciplinary partnership that the two investigators forged
that day has reached beyond the laboratories of Dana-Farber to
produce the largest set of ovarian cancer genomic profiles to
Although their pilot project was limited by the small number of
fresh-frozen tumor samples available, serendipitous events enabled
the two investigators to dramatically scale up their joint effort.
Quackenbush happened to meet a former colleague, now at Illumina,
who had developed a new gene expression assay for paraffin-embedded
tissues. Meanwhile, Matulonis was working with pathologists Ronny Drapkin, MD, PhD, of Medical Oncology, and Michelle
Hirsch, MD, PhD, of Brigham and Women's Hospital, who had recently
used paraffin-embedded tissues from a tumor bank to build a tissue
microarray – a paraffin block of 100 or more microtumor cores on a
single slide. Quackenbush and Matulonis quickly recognized the
power of combining these two new resources. "We thought that if the
results of our gene expression assays could be confirmed using a
simple antibody test on the tissue microarray," says Quackenbush,
"we might have a test with the potential for immediate clinical
With the pathologists joining the partnership and Illumina on
board, the study began in earnest. Quackenbush's team extracted DNA
and RNA from the same tumor samples used to create the tissue
microarray and sent the purified nucleic acids to Illumina. The
company generated data on mRNA, microRNA, copy number variation,
and DNA methylation, which it returned to Dana-Farber for
Discoveries deriving from these data – such as markers
indicating that a patient is likely to become platinumresistant or
platinum-sensitive – may lead to more effective diagnostics and
treatments. One early discovery showed that tumor samples separate
into distinct molecular subgroups, a finding which may guide future
treatment of patients with ovarian cancer. Investigators are now
examining whether these subgroups are associated with outcomes or
other clinical measures. The team is also analyzing RNA and
microRNA (which can bind to mRNA, targeting it for degradation) to
look for anti-correlations, instances where an increase in microRNA
decreases mRNA. "Integrating these two types of data may provide
more complete information than analyzing either type alone,"
Quackenbush explains. "Most importantly, Dana-Farber now has the
ability to address basic questions about ovarian cancer."

I'm spending the afternoon at PARC-the Xerox subsidiary formerly known as the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center-for a fascinating event celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the legendary research organization. Ethernet, laser printers, and much of the concepts and technologies in every modern graphical user interface all emerged from PARC; among the many legendary alums here today are Adele Goldberg, Alan Kay, Bob Metcalfe, and Charles Simonyi. And I just shook the hand of the man sitting next to me-Alvy Ray Smith, a computer graphics pioneer and former PARC employee who cofounded Pixar.
Here's a video I stumbled across on YouTube-it was apparently made at PARC circa 1991, and talks about ubiquitous computing, a long-time subject of PARC research that's being discussed by panelists here even as I speak.
No, it doesn't predict the iPhone-but it's still fascinating and prescient, like much of the work done at PARC over the past four decades.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is taking his case to the public as the clock ticks down to an Aug. 2 deadline to raise the government's borrowing limit or default on U.S. obligations.
The president holds a town hall meeting Friday morning at the University of Maryland, College Park campus. It's a quick trip from the Beltway but will be Obama's first public appearance this month outside what he calls the White House "bubble." The president has been occupied with near-daily negotiations with congressional leaders on a deal to raise the debt limit.
The town hall session comes amid some signs of progress. But Obama still faces a big selling job, given Democratic unease with cuts to Medicare and other entitlement programs and Republican opposition to tax increases.
Later, his attention shifts overseas as New Zealand's prime minister, John Key, pays a visit. The White House says the two leaders will discuss stability and growth in the Asia Pacific region as well as Afghanistan and the famine in East Africa. They're expected to speak to reporters afterward.
The president meets with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and the chairman of the Joints Chiefs, Adm. Mike Mullen, afterward. Defense officials say the Pentagon chief has decided to end the ban on gays serving openly in military and an announcement is expected Friday.
Obama later meets with the outgoing U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry.

Bradley Beal's stock on the rise as NBA Draft approaches
When former Gator basketball star Bradley Beal announced earlier this month that he had decided to leave school after just one year and enter the NBA Draft, Gators coach Billy Donovan said Beal would be among the Top 5 picks in the nation by the time the draft is held on June 28.
His prediction seems to be right on the money, at least as far as some NBA Draft analysts are concerned.
In his latest mock draft, ESPN.com's Chad Ford has Beal listed as the No. 3 overall pick - behind former Kentucky players Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
The 6-foot-5 Beal played in 37 games for the Gators, averaging 34.2 minutes per game. He also averaged 14.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and shot 44.5 percent from the field.

State Supreme Court Decision
Barclay Damon Succeeds in Getting Cellino and Barnes Court Docs Unsealed
A Barclay Damon team led by Karim A. Abdulla and Joseph M. Finnerty succeeded in its request to have court documents in the legal fight between law partners Ross M. Cellino Jr. and Stephen E. Barnes unsealed. The ruling was made June 26 by State Supreme Court Judge Deborah Chimes.
The complaint filed last month by Cellino seeking to break up the prominent law firm had previously been sealed by Judge Chimes due to undue anxiety she believed disclosure of its contents would cause the firm's clients and employees. Barclay Damon's request to have it unsealed was made on behalf of the Buffalo News, New York Daily News, and New York Post.
The high-profile decision has been widely covered by media, including extensive quotes from Abdulla, who is cited in the Buffalo News saying, "Open courts help to ensure that the legal process remains fair and transparent."

Abdulla and Finnerty are members of the firm's Media & First Amendment Law Practice Area. Finnerty serves as the practice's chair.
National Law Journal
"Barclay Damon jumped onto several of our top charts"
In an article accompanying its 2016 list of the country's 500 largest law firms, the National Law Journal says, "Barclay Damon jumped onto several of our top charts, including largest gains in total attorneys, size of the partnership, and associate ranks."
The article notes attorney numbers at the firm were level from 2008 until last year, and quotes John P. Langan, managing partner: "When there is no growth, it's weird in the group dynamics [of a firm]. Things can get stale or intractable."
But with growth came excitement, the article says, explaining that "the chart-topping happened because of the combination between Hiscock & Barclay, a NLJ 350 firm last year with more than 200 attorneys, and the 90-lawyer Damon Morey."
"There's dust in the air, and noise and coffee cups with cigarettes in them," Langan says in the article, "but when you're done, you're so happy you did it."
Barclay Damon is the 157th largest law firm on the NLJ 2016 list.

Supreme Court Decision
Supreme Court Provides Murky Guidance on Standard For Implied False Claims Liability
On June 16, 2016, the Supreme Court issued its long-awaited decision in University Health Services Inc. v. Escobar on the issue of implied certification as a basis for False Claims Act liability. The case squarely presented the unsettled question of where the line of materiality should be drawn where there has been no obvious departure from established conditions of payment, but liability was based upon a lack of technical compliance with applicable laws and regulations rendering a government claim technically improper.
The Court held that the "implied false certification theory" is a valid means of imposing liability on health care providers under the False Claims Act, identifying two conditions that must be met for the implied certification theory to apply: (1) the request for payment must make specific representations about the goods or services provided; and (2) the failure to disclose noncompliance with material statutory, regulatory or contractual requirements makes those representations "misleading half-truths." According to the Court, a provider's request for payment constitutes the provider's implied certification of compliance with all material statutory, regulatory and contractual requirements for the provision of the service. Moreover, if a provider fails to disclose (or omits) its noncompliance with these requirements, then the provider is misrepresenting the claim and the claim is "false or fraudulent" under the False Claims Act based on the Court's decision.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Jacksonville residents have a new website to check to out how the city is doing on anything from fire and rescue response times to specific budget details, Channel 4 news partner WJCT News reports.
JaxScore 1.0 provides data driven information on a wide-range of city issues. The site can be used to find out how well the city's various departments are providing services.
Jacksonville Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Cleveland Ferguson shows off some of the highlights of the city's new web site.
It will give the public information on what projects the city's departments and divisions are focused on-including the independent agencies.
Mayor Alvin Brown said it also makes the city's government more transparent and accountable.
"So having a Jax Score, a dashboard where any citizen can have access to the information and see how well the city is doing, to see how we spend their money and making sure they know exactly what we are doing and be transparent about it," Brown said. "But also about transparency and accountability."
The new website was designed internally so it didn't cost the city additional money.
More transparency and accountability were some of the items identified in the Jax 2025 initiative as a priority for Jacksonville residents. You can access JaxScore 1.0 at JaxScore.net.

Tom Cruise and Olga Kurylenko were all smiles at the premiere of their new film "Oblivion" in Dublin, Ireland on April 3. Hitting the red carpet, Tom looked handsome in his black suit and tie while Olga opted for simple yet elegant look in her emerald green gown. The film's director Joseph Kosinski was later seen joining them.
Before attending the premiere, Olga and Joseph were spotted heading to their hotel in Dublin while Tom greeted fans outside a cocktail reception at the Hugh Lane Gallery. The three of them previously promoted their science-fiction film in Moscow, Russia on April 1.
Meanwhile, a new behind-the-scenes video from Oblivion has been released via IMAX. In the video, Cruise and Kosinski reveal how the film's use of IMAX contributed to creating the look of post-apocalyptic Earth.
In the featurette, fans can also get to see new footage of Andrea Riseborough as Harper's colleague Victoria, Morgan Freeman as a resistance fighter, and Kurylenko as a mysterious woman whom Harper rescues from a crashed spacecraft.

"Oblivion" follows former Marine commander Jack Harper, who is stationed on Earth and assigned with extracting the planet's few remaining resources. After he rescues a beautiful young stranger from a crashed spacecraft, Harper begins to question everything he knows about his mission and the war.
The film will be released on April 19 in the United States.

To be fair, corruption exists in every country, its the level of pervasiveness and the relative amount of leakages. We know that Taiwan and Korea are not very clean as well, the ties between the triads and government officials in Taiwan is well known, the unusually cozy relationships between major corporate figures and the Korean government is also well documented.
We cannot be too optimistic that eradication of corruption can be done in 10 years or even 20. I mean HK took at least 20 years and Singapore needed a heavy handed treatment for a very long time. Hence even if we do effect a change in government in the next elections, safe to say its just baby steps, but at least we must move forward.

TAMPA — Baby Kaleb suffered brain damage in May 2007, and his sitter went to jail, accused of violently shaking him.
His mother, Kristy Schwade, chronicled Kaleb's struggles on MySpace, where her blog captivated thousands. Strangers sent poems and paintings. They bought magnets with a message: Pray for baby Kaleb.
Kaleb needed prayers, the way he would always need oxygen, nighttime nurses and a wheelchair. Some days, he couldn't see. He had to be fed through a tube.
Doctors predicted he would die young.
Still, Monday came suddenly.
Kaleb, 4, died at Tampa General Hospital after recurring bouts of pneumonia, his mother said.
"If he hadn't had been shaken," she said, "he would've still been alive."
• • •
On May 9, 2007, Schwade left 5-month-old Kaleb with Rebecca Lois Saunders, a woman licensed to provide child care from her home.
When the parents picked him up, they noticed his breathing was unusual. They took him to the emergency room.
At Tampa General Hospital, doctors diagnosed Kaleb with bilateral hemorrhaging and told the Schwades their son's hypothalamus had been injured. That's the part of the brain that helps regulate things like temperature, breathing and hunger.
While doctors tended to Kaleb, detectives turned to Saunders.
At first she maintained her innocence. Her attorney said Saunders never abused the baby, noting that the precise time of injury could not be established.
In time, Saunders accepted a plea deal on an aggravated child abuse charge. She served 16 months behind bars.
• • •
Even after Kaleb came home from the hospital in September 2007, return trips were common. He regularly came down with pneumonia.
So it wasn't unusual for him to become sick, as happened last weekend. Saturday night, he was vomiting. On Sunday, the family went to the emergency room, but then he seemed better.
Monday, Kristy took Kaleb to her parents' home while she ran errands. She called her mother to check on him, and her mom said his cheeks had purple splotches.
"Purple or blue?" Schwade asked.
Kaleb's cheeks were often red and sometimes swelled into bluish spots. But when Schwade arrived 10 minutes later, Kaleb's face was turning gray, she said.
He was running a fever, but his arms and legs were cold.
His father, 29-year-old firefighter Joshua Schwade, believes Kaleb was going into shock as blood flowed away from his arms and legs to protect vital organs.
The family called 911.
At the hospital, doctors gave Kaleb oxygen, and transferred him to the intensive care unit.
The moment took Kristy Schwade back to that first night after Kaleb was severely shaken.
Same doctor. Same waiting room.
By 1 p.m., the news was grim. Kaleb had only hours to live. They could try to prolong his life, but it would be painful for him.
No one wanted that.
"So we all got up and said our goodbyes and let him go," Kristy Schwade said.
• • •
The Schwades did not report Kaleb's death to authorities.
They say they are not interested in pursuing more criminal charges against Saunders, the babysitter.
There would be precedent for a new charge. Christopher Michael Wells, a Pasco father who went to prison for shaking his infant daughter, drew a second sentence when she died at age 19.
The St. Petersburg Times was unable to reach Saunders, now 39, for comment. She was not at her home Thursday afternoon and did not return a message left there. Her former attorney said he has not been in contact with her for years.
On Wednesday, the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner's Office began an autopsy on Kaleb but could not immediately determine a cause of death. Further studies will take four to six weeks, said spokesman Dick Bailey.
The Sheriff's Office plans to investigate, spokesman Larry McKinnon said.
There's also a civil lawsuit, still unresolved. The Schwade family has sued Saunders and those associated with Hanna's House Family Day Care LLC, which operated in a Northdale home.
For now, the Schwades say they don't want to think about Saunders. They want to celebrate Kaleb's life on Sunday and then bury him at Joshua Schwade's family plot in Indiana.
• • •
Amid all of this, the Schwade family has grown.
Kaleb is survived by a 2-year-old brother, Kaeson, and an 11-week-old brother, Kanton.
At Sunday's funeral service, Kristy Schwade plans to tell Kaeson that Kaleb is in heaven, that in heaven there are no feeding tubes, and that Kaleb can now run, play and eat ice cream.
The church will be filled with roses, lilies and irises. At the end, everyone will release a navy blue balloon, a nod to child abuse prevention.
The mother, 24, hopes to get a social work degree.
She wants to share a message, the same one written on a magnetic memorial ribbon stuck on the back of her van:
"Never shake a baby."

Brett Favre tarnished the beloved reputation he earned during 16 seasons with the Packers with multiple retirements and comebacks, including runs with the Jets and Vikings. It doesn't appear that he can ever fully return to the status he had during the height of his career, but the quarterback may be trying to get back in Green Bay's good graces. Michael Hunt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel notes that Favre has departed from his past stance of saying little about his successor, Aaron Rodgers. In a recent interview on NFL Network, Favre had nothing but praise for Rodgers. "Aaron Rodgers, I knew when I left, this guy has all the tools," Favre said. "He can beat you with his feet. He's got a great arm, extremely accurate, handles the cast around him perfect."
Is Favre Trying To Get Back In Green Bay's Good Graces?

JUDY WOODRUFF: Nancy Youssef of McClatchy Newspapers has been reporting on the attack in Benghazi. She's based in Cairo. And that's where I reached her by phone just a short time ago.
Nancy Youssef, you have been talking to a colleague of yours about what happened in Benghazi Tuesday night. What have you learned?
NANCY YOUSSEF, McClatchy Newspapers: We spoke to one of the first guards that the attackers encountered.
He said that around 9:35 p.m., he was standing outside, and men pulled up and started throwing grenades into the compound, setting things ablaze.
At the same time, he estimated as many as 120 men came from all sides into the compound. They were screaming, as in, you're an infidel, you're working with the Americans.
And they began moving into one of the villas within the compound. He said that it was well-coordinated. He said that they were overrun, that he was one of about five contracted security guards and that they were accompanied by members of the 17th of February Brigade, which is a Libyan brigade that emerged during the revolution last year.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The Associated Press is reporting that there may have been infiltrators inside Libyan security forces that shared the whereabouts of this so-called safe house that was about a mile away from the consulate in Benghazi. Have you been able to learn anything about that?
NANCY YOUSSEF: Libyans had — knew where that compound was, knew that it was occupied by the Americans. It was a place that Ambassador Stevens had invited Libyans to meet with him at. So it was a known location.
Now, it's certainly possible that there were people who infiltrated and told them what the security situation was there, that is, how are they trying to defend themselves, perhaps where the ambassador may have been.
Again, it was a huge complex with several villas within it. So that's certainly a possibility.
JUDY WOODRUFF: That's interesting.
Well, Nancy Youssef, a reporter for McClatchy Newspapers based in Cairo, thank you very much for talking with us.
NANCY YOUSSEF: My pleasure.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Also in Cairo tonight, police were firing tear gas canisters at demonstrators near Tahrir Square.
I spoke to freelance journalist Bel Trew as events unfolded outside.
You were in Tahrir Square today. Tell us what you were seeing.
BEL TREW, freelance journalist: Right now, what we're seeing is still several hundred protesters on the streets fighting with the police, as they have been doing since midnight yesterday.
Recently, in the last 10 minutes, things have actually escalated, as you can probably hear in the background — we're actually standing above the front lines — where significant amount of tear gas were being shot at protesters and with exchanges of rocks.
At the moment, the protesters have built a barricade just below us, and are attempting to fight the police. I don't think this is going to end any time soon.
JUDY WOODRUFF: What are the protesters shouting? What can you hear? What they — and have you talked to them? Do you know what they're asking for?
BEL TREW: It's a confusing message, and it has been really, because since — I mean, the Tuesday protest that initially started this whole thing was against this inflammatory film, as everyone has been talking about, the anti-Islam film.
And that was a very different crowd. They were ultra-conservative Muslims in traditional Islamic dress.
Since yesterday, when the clashes broke out, it was a much younger crew. We're looking at possible — possibly the ultras, hard-core football fans. And certainly I have heard their traditional chants, their songs.
But we're still hearing some Islamic undertone to the chants. They have been saying — they have been chanting about Prophet Mohammed, not insulting Prophet Mohammed, interspersed with chants against the police and their behavior, calling them thugs.
So there's a mixed grievances at the moment. I think people are actually quite disappointed with the way the police have reacted to their protests.
And that has also become quite a major issue right now, especially as this is the first major clash we have had since President Morsi took power. And people were hoping there would be some reform of the police with a president.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Do these protests seem to be organized?
BEL TREW: No, I don't think there's any — I haven't come across, as I have spoken to protesters, any specific groups who called this.
Obviously in the beginning, there was the Salafists calling — there was other Islamic groups that had asked people to go to the embassy in protest of this inflammatory film.
At the moment, we're seeing really some disparate youths predominately, especially as it's quite late now in Cairo. And they don't seem to have any affiliation to each other.
In fact, people actually told me specifically that they weren't part of a political group.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Finally, how is the government, how is the police — how are they dealing with this?
BEL TREW: What we're seeing actually is quite similar tactics that were used during the Mubarak regime and also during the military transitional period, which is quite heavy-handed use of tear gas, of bird shot pellets, and also, as I said, throwing rocks at protesters.
It doesn't really seem that they actually want to stop the protests or make it more peaceful. They seem to be inciting more response from the protesters by being quite violent.
Other than that, we haven't really had any other direction from the government in terms of how to stop this.
President Morsi obviously condemned non-peaceful protests, but he continues his travels through Europe and actually hasn't come home, which many have criticized.
So — and, actually, the Muslim Brotherhood, of course, which is the president's organization, have organized a massive protest tomorrow in Tahrir against the film, and which we're hoping will be peaceful, unlike the clashes that we're seeing right now.
Otherwise, I don't think — we haven't seen any real signs of the government trying to stop the fighting.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Bel Trew, a freelance journalist in Cairo, thank you very much.
BEL TREW: You're welcome.
JEFFREY BROWN: And now we turn to another side of this story playing out in Southern California, the film that helped spark the violence in the Middle East.
That comes from Rebecca Keegan of The Los Angeles Times.
Rebecca, there's been a lot of mystery to many aspects of this. What's the latest on who made this film and with what motives?
REBECCA KEEGAN, The Los Angeles Times: Well, we know that the person who posted this movie on YouTube under the name Sam Bacile is someone who actually goes by a lot of pseudonyms, has a kind of checkered legal and financial past, and is associated with some Coptic Christian groups in the U.S. that have been involved in some anti-Islam activities.
We also know that the actors and the people who appeared in it had no idea what they were getting themselves into.
JEFFREY BROWN: Well, for anybody who's seen it, it's an extremely amateurish film, right? And is it clear what it was aimed at or who, who it was aimed at, what kind of audience?
REBECCA KEEGAN: Well, it seems clear now that the film was designed to provoke a strong reaction among Muslims.
For the people who were cast in the film, many of them responded to ads on places like Craigslist and casting Web sites for a movie called "Desert Warrior," which was supposed to be some sort of adventure film.
They say that their dialogue was dubbed, they didn't deliver many of the movie's most inflammatory lines.
The ones who I have spoken to said they were paid in cash, about $75 a day, and they thought this was your average low-budget, low-quality production.
JEFFREY BROWN: It was originally posted to YouTube back in June, I think, got very little attention, and then reposted a couple of days ago and translated into Arabic.
Do we know any more about who reposted it or who translated it or how that happened?
REBECCA KEEGAN: I don't know who translated it. We do know that it was after it was put on Facebook by an Egyptian Coptic Christian that it began to find an audience.
JEFFREY BROWN: Now, the person you're talking about who seems to be identified as making it, Nakula Basili Nakule?
There's also…
REBECCA KEEGAN: That's one of…
JEFFREY BROWN: Yes, go ahead.
REBECCA KEEGAN: I'm sorry.
No, that's one of many names. If we had a flowchart, I could give you about 40 different names that he goes by, but, yes, that's one of them.
JEFFREY BROWN: There's another person who's been involved in the story, a Steve Klein, who I gather that groups have watched for some time because of various ties to extremist groups in Southern California.
REBECCA KEEGAN: That's right.
Steve Klein identified himself as a consultant on the film. It seems like he may have come in contact with the filmmakers because he was demonstrating outside of mosques, and they found a sort of affiliation in their anti-Islam beliefs.
Steve Klein also has a TV show on a network that is owned by a charity that we are finding linked to the film.
JEFFREY BROWN: There's still a little confusion, I think, at least for me. There's a 13- or 14-minute video clip which people can see and clearly people are seeing. Is there an actual, was there an actual film ever made that appeared?
REBECCA KEEGAN: We have heard that an actual film, a feature-length film, screened at a theater in Hollywood earlier this summer.
The two people I have spoken to who worked on the film say they never saw a feature-length film. They have only seen what we have seen, which is this nearly 14-minute clip.
But, apparently, about only 10 people showed up to a screening at a place called The Vine Theatre in Hollywood for a full-length feature film.
JEFFREY BROWN: And, briefly, do you know what law enforcement is looking at, at this point in Southern California or who they're talking to, what they're looking for?
REBECCA KEEGAN: I think they're looking for this person who has gone by the name Bacile and goes by many other names. I think they're pursuing also the charity groups that are involved with the making of the film.
JEFFREY BROWN: Rebecca Keegan of The Los Angeles Times, thanks so much.
REBECCA KEEGAN: Thank you.

Biolage products are awesome!This is another great Biolage product! I've used this following my colorcare therapie shampoo and it makes brushing my hair and styling it very easy. My hair is smooth after, smells delicious, and is very soft. I love it because I can use it as a conditioner for every other day washing or as a deep conditioner and let it sit in my hair for a while before I rinse it out. A tad expensive especially if you need to use a lot at once, but worth it because it really works. — 4 years, 12 months agoLamexicana1 | 221 reviews

Adds MoistureI use my hair dryer a lot on my hair, so it gets dry and damaged and this is a great solution. The conditioner is great for any hair, because it leaves my straight hair moisturized, but it also works well on curly hair to make the tresses feel more relaxed and less dry. — 8 years, 3 months agoStef42678 | 500 reviews

Not Every Failure Is A Learning Experience Ross Kimbarovsky | June 2nd, 2010
Many entrepreneurs and investors – especially in Silicon Valley – believe that failure is acceptable. Mark Suster writes:
I prefer second time (or more) entrepreneurs. Sure, I would love to work with people who have had multiple successes. But I'm not afraid of entrepreneurs that didn't succeed the first time. I want to work with talented people with good judgment. And so I'm out to spread the word, "Good Judgment Comes from Experience, but Experience Comes from Bad Judgment." Go out and learn.
There's a big difference, however, between failing while giving your very best, and failing for the sake of failing. Mark Suster wrote an excellent post touching on this – Why The 'Fail Fast' Mantra Needs to Fail – and here are my thoughts on this issue:
Do you agree?
For a slightly different perspective about failure, you might want to read Jason Fried's post from last year – Failure is overrated, a redux.

The format of this year's summit meeting was conversational and intimately set, enabling panel members to enjoy a sense of safety as they discussed mutual challenges with only a small sympathetic audience within earshot. Two factors were clear at the onset of the meeting:
1.) both Oregon and Colorado have had tumultuous histories with healthcare reform and
2.) both states have taken advantage of recent crises to try new and bold initiatives.
Some of those challenges include:
-Working with federal, state, and local stakeholders: allowing for flexibility while striving for standardization in policies and protocols
-Creating a clearinghouse for data management and sharing
-Federal administrators have short tenures which disrupts momentum and working relationships
-States are not collaborating enough to share successes and brainstorm new strategies
-Fear and misconceptions of change and the health care industry prevent stakeholders from making progress
-Moving customers from Medicaid to private insurance
-Senator Elizabeth Steiner Hayward, MD, Oregon State Senator, Family Physician

Art Instructor Bio - Ashley Gaboury BFA
Even before graduating with a BFA in Studio Arts in 2003 at The University of Lethbridge, Ashley Gaboury worked as an instructor at The Prairie Art Gallery in Grande Prairie, Alberta. Over the past fifteen years she established herself as a 2-dimensional art instructor, while simultaneously developing as a professional artist. She exudes enthusiasm and passion about drawing, and is continually pushing boundaries within her artwork. She creates in a myriad of mediums including watercolour pencils, alcohol-based markers, and acrylics.
The bulk of her work has spiritual undertones, often playing with the dualism of light and dark, and the dichotomy of good and evil.
For the past few years her artwork has evolved to reflect the dramatic impact humans have had on our surroundings, specifically, the domestication of Canis Lupus (wolves) into Canis Lupus Familiars (dogs). In order to better understand the instinctive behaviour patterns of dogs and wolves, she began a comprehensive study and collaboration with The Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary in Cochrane, Alberta. She creates drawings using watercolour pencil on canvas, with the intention of capturing their instinctual nature, curiosity, and stoicism. She sells fine art prints to raise funds and awareness for the sanctuary.
