SPOKANE, Wash.--Spokane native Steve Gleason went through a successful tracheotomy Monday night at a hospital in New Orleans. Gleason battles with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and had the surgery to help him breathe.
Gleason is a former Gonzaga Prep, Washington State University and New Orleans Saints football star. His fight with ALS inspired KREM 2 News' Project Inspire campaign.
As ALS stripped Gleason's body of its strength, it seemed as if his spirit just grew stronger. Soon after Gleason's surgery Tuesday, he tweeted, "I am persistent like a banana tree. Cut me down, and I will be back before you know it."
I am persistent like a banana tree. Cut me down, and I will be back before you know it. -SG #nowhiteflags
— Steve Gleason (@TeamGleason) May 20, 2014
READ: Steve Gleason's tracheotomy successful
A Team Gleason spokesperson told KREM 2 News that Gleason was out of the ICU on Wednesday and was exceeding expectations.
"They told us he'd be asleep for 24 hours and he wasn't asleep for one," said spokesperson Clare Durrett.
Durrett said Gleason's scheduled surgery was accelerated a month or two early.
"On Sunday night he started experiencing some difficulty in his airway and our protocol is to get to the hospital," said Durrett.
A doctor at St. Luke's Rehabilitation Institute in Spokane said some patients opt for the procedure as the disease strips people of their ability to use their muscles.
"Usually the breathing and swallowing functions decline in parallel fashion," said Dr. Greg Carter. "So you lose the ability to swallow and speak. You also get difficulty breathing."
Dr. Carter said the surgery could prolong a life, but there was no solution to stop the progression of the deadly disease. He added attitude is everything.
"I do think if you throw in the towel and say this disease has beaten me, and I've seen this, people deteriorate much faster. So you have to be a fighter," said Dr. Carter.
Gleason was a fighter. His motto in the three and half years since he was diagnosed with ALS was, "No White Flags."
Gleason was set to be out of the hospital just a few days after his surgery.
Gleason strived to help other ALS patients and raise money for research.

I hear what you're saying, Daniel. However, I should also point out that we've built 100s of website for our clients with SilverStripe, and this issue has been rarely mentioned, and has certainly never been a show-stopper.
All of the documents listing the benefts of clean URLs don't apply here, because we have clean URLs; the thing that we're missing is hierarchical URLs for CMS page.
But I'm not going to argue about the benefits of them with you. It's irrelevant until there's a developer available who has the time to do the development work.

In my view, changing the URL generator so it creates hierarchical URL's by using dashes is a perfect temporary fix. Sure, it is not as user friendly as `slash` separated URL´s , but it will surely help with Google.
Maybe the url generator should have this as an option (configurable through the config file)....

I would agree. If we're not going to get the true hierarchy URLs with sub sections, this would be a better fix and doesn't seem to require a lot of work.

Just to be clear, supporting Hierachical URLs is something we want to do.
It's purely a case of it being a complex task that requires either
a) a kind and progressive commercial client to fund it for open source release,
b) donations so that we can pay our core developers to do it
c) or a competent PHP5/SilverStripe programmer to donate time to work with the core development team.
In my work on silverstripe.com I find myself wishing for the feature, and I would state the first goal is to allow URLs the below to be unique and logically representing their position within a sitemap.
So, taking the previous example...
The idea is to allow the two 'staff' pages to not default to "staff" and "staff-2", but to contain "office" and "stockholm/gothenburg" in the URLs.
Whether the deliminator is a hyphen or a slash depends on the level of time/money we get, with slashes being seen is the ideal, but more difficult, goal.
If someone was keen to help out let us now ... I'm firstname.lastname@example.com

My current day job is webmaster for a government department. Consequently, I end up with a lot of end-user phone calls. My feeling is that hierarchical URLs are simply not an issue for 99% of end-users. In fact, we have a lot of people who know nothing about the address line in the browser - give them a URL and they'll type it into google.
I certainly see errors where more knowledgeable people have knocked off the end of a URL only to find that particular directory has no index page. But they seem to be a small minority.
I'd be happy with hierarchical menus with dashes but it implies a more sophisticated user than the current setup requires. Page URL segments will need to be separately entered rather than derived from the page title.

The main benefit would be for a SEO advantage, as well as the minor things listed in this topic. Like duplicate, more meaningful URL sections for that matter.
Having more keywords in the URL would be key, and I don't mean just tacking them on to the page URL.
Really basic idea would be for tutorials.
and so forth. A structure like this will rank your site much higher when a user searches for "some photoshop tutorial" and not only that, a search engine will better understand your content when grouped like this.
I agree most users won't type things in directly, but the odd ones will. Using my example above, people who are familiar with your site and visit it often, would possibly type a direct URL to access a specific section they're looking for.

As a new user of silverstripe i though i'd weigh in on this.
I was extremely surprised that there is no functionality for hierarchical URLs. They are very much a standard for websites, blogs, CMSs and web URL naming conventions in general. I won't repeat the practical reasons for them already well explained.
That said, i don't think that the 'normal' end users care, but most IT-oriented people actually do.
Without having to go through and re-do the base code, isn't an easier way of implementing this to actually just use some fancy URL rewriting using Apache's mod_rewrite or something similar that Silverstripe could maintain itself? This would enable the better URLS, but all Silverstripe would have to do is update a .htaccess file?
I am a bit ignorant on the way Silverstripe is coded, so I don't know if this is a viable, if temporary, solution.

Verizon commented, "it is not an investment I am prepared to sponsor at this juncture," but perhaps elements of the proposal could be implemented, if not all of it.
MSNBC is in HD, 10/55 that channel is in HD, NESN-nation not NESN live games only in boston to MLB-NHL packages that what i was told by NESN today. hopefully there should be more to come

Biogen Idec a Strong Buy on Pipeline Prospects
Jordo is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Dexpramipexole, an experimental drug to treat Lou Gehrig's disease, has failed to work in a late-stage clinical trial, the drug's developer, Biogen Idec (NASDAQ: BIIB) said. Medical experts and patients had hoped it would work to treat the poorly understood and fatal illness. The company said it would discontinue work on the drug because it was not effective in slowing the loss of muscular function nor in prolonging the lives of people with the disease, which is formally known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ALS attacks the nerves that control muscles and cause gradual paralysis, usually resulting in death within a few years of diagnosis. About 30,000 Americans have the disease. While expectations were not high that dexpramipexole would succeed in its Phase 3 trial, there was room for some optimism because of what was viewed in some quarters as encouraging results in a smaller, Phase 2 trial. Most analysts had categorized the trial as high risk.
Expanding the Tysabri Market
Biogen Idec and its Irish partner Elan announced that they have submitted an application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) requesting an expanded indication that would include first-line use for patients suffering from certain relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) who have tested negative for the JC virus (JCV) antibodies. It is estimated that 45% of patients fall into this category. The JC virus has a connection to the brain infection, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare and sometimes fatal condition.
Tysabri is approved in more than 65 countries. It is approved in the United States as a monotherapy for relapsing forms of MS, generally for patients who have had an inadequate response to, or are unable to tolerate alternative MS therapies. In the EU it is approved for highly active relapsing-remitting MS in patients who have not responded to beta interferons or have a rapidly evolving, severe condition. The expansion would provide increased access to the drug for patients who are not at risk for developing PML.
The drug is currently approved for patients who have failed other treatment, despite Tysabri's strong efficacy, because of the risk of PML infection. If approved, a first-line label will allow all appropriate anti-JCV antibody negative patients to use TYSABRI early in the course of treatment.
Factor IX (rFIXFc) Candidate for Hemophilia B
Biogen Idec submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for approval for the marketing of recombinant factor IX Fc fusion protein (rFIXFc) to be used in the treatment of hemophilia B. RFIXFc provides long-lasting protection from bleeding and reduces the burden of treatment for hemophilia B, which can currently require more than 100 injections every year using commercially-available factor IX products. Fc fusion technology is utilized in seven FDA approved products for the long-term treatment of chronic diseases, which include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and platelet disorders. People with hemophilia B need injections up to three times per week of factor IX to restore the coagulation process and prevent pain, irreversible joint damage and life-threatening hemorrhages.
BG-12 Oral Multiple Sclerosis Candidate
Meanwhile, the most important pipeline catalyst for the company is the regulatory status of BG-12. BG-12, Biogen's oral multiple sclerosis candidate, is currently under review in both the US and the EU, and a response in the US should be out by March. BG-12 has the potential to become a leader in the oral multiple sclerosis market once launched. Bank of America Merrill Lynch cut its rating on Biogen Idec to "neutral" from "buy" as analyst Rachel McMinn said in a note to clients that the biotech firm will see limited upside for 2013. McMinn also said there is a likely downside on sales of the company's BG-12 drug, a treatment for multiple sclerosis and lowered her sales estimate on BG-12 to $275 million from $360 million "to reflect a slower uptake," but said she continues "to believe in [Biogen's] favorable long-term profile."
The Competition
Israeli drug company Teva Pharmaceutical (NYSE: TEVA) petitioned the FDA to delay approval of Biogen's experimental MS drug known as BG-12 until medical experts review the safety of the treatment, which is set for an approval decision on BG-12 by late March. Sales of Copaxone, an injected MS treatment from Teva, could be affected by the approval of Biogen's pill, which would be only the second oral treatment for MS approved in the U.S., behind Novartis' Gilenya.
Wall Street analysts predict BG-12 will be a blockbuster product because it's effective, convenient, and generally regarded as safe. In its petition, Teva says other drugs such as Gilenya and Biogen's Tysabri have been shown to have "serious safety issues" following U.S. approval. The FDA has about nine months to respond to a citizen petition, says agency spokeswoman Sandy Walsh. XenoPort (NASDAQ: XNPT) will deliver Phase 3I trial results for its lead pipeline candidate, Arbaclofen Placarbil, early in the second quarter of 2013, and the company is moving forward on re-launching its approved restless leg treatment Horizant in the U.S. The company's candidate, XP23829, will be aimed at treating multiple sclerosis. XP23829 has characteristics similar to Biogen Idec's BG-12 product.
Biogen Idec is a solid performer with over $5 billion in revenues. Its drug Avonex is one of the most prescribed treatments for relapsing forms of MS worldwide. Avonex is indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsing forms of MS to slow the accumulation of physical disability and decrease the frequency of clinical exacerbations. The company's third-quarter revenues increased 8% year-over-year to $736 million. Growth prospects look excellent for the company's existing drugs in the market and its pipeline prospects. Investors looking at the pharmaceutical space should consider buying Biogen Idec.

Schools may have to dig deeper to pay oil company tax breaks
Valero, a major Perry contributor, stands to benefit most from the property tax refund, with a potential $92 billion dollar refund. Perry has received $147,895 from Valero, more money from the company than any other politician in the country except one. Valero first applied for the exemption in 2007 and were denied. Now they're appealing and asking for payments retroactive to that year. Four other companies are following suit. If approved, twelve other refineries will also be eligible for the same tax break.
Both Governor Perry and the three commissioners have hinted that they will support the tax break. The fact that everybody else pays their fair share of taxes and schools are cutting everything from pencils to busing while big oil gets a tax break stinks almost as bad as the refineries themselves. Almost.

In TCM, "Qi" is one of the basic substances that constitute the human body and life-sustaining activities.
In biology, energy is an attribute of all biological systems from the biosphere to the smallest living organism. Within an organism it is responsible for growth and development of a biological cell or an organelle of a biological organism. Energy is thus often said to be stored by cells in the structures of molecules of substances such as carbohydrates (including sugars), lipids, and proteins, which release energy when reacted with oxygen in respiration.
Similar to large numbers of people being told they have low vitamin D in recent years, there appears to be a similar increase in men being told that they have low testosterone. For better or worse many cultures, ours included, often seem more concerned with finding a way to increase testosterone (i.e. aspects of strength and virility) vs.
Before we get into details the crux of this article can be summed up in one statement... Chinese Medicine treats patterns of illness that can contain any number of symptoms/western conditions whereas generally western medicine is symptomatic/condition based. This is an important distinction to have in mind when you are are considering using Chinese Medicine (acupuncture, herbal medicine, tuina massage, etc.) for your ailments.
Twelve meridians Diagnosis
As practitioners of Chinese Medicine we know that we are offering something unique. Day after day we see patients heal with help from the tools offered by our medicine. Often these patients have failed to respond to any other treatment - traditional or "alternative." The techniques and knowledge we share are drawn from the collective wisdom accumulated by generations of practitioners. A wisdow that has also been tested by generations of patients. As practitioners, we are simply conduits of this information perhaps adding our own jewels from time to time.
What is Dan Tian in Qi Gong? Dan means energy center, Tian means field, Dan Tian means energy field center.
In Qi Gong we have upper Dan Tian, middle Dan Tian and lower Dan Tain. Upper Dan Tian is in Yin Tang location, it is also called spirit center, middle Dan Tian is in Ren 17 location, it is also called Qi center, lower Dan Tian is in Ren 4 location, it is also called essent center.

Me the PeopleOne Man's Selfless Quest to Rewrite the Constitution of the United States of AmericaWritten by Kevin Bleyer
Until now.
Perfection is at hand. A new, improved Constitution is here. And you are holding it.
But first, some historical context: In the eighteenth century, a lawyer named James Madison gathered his friends in Philadelphia and, over four long months, wrote four short pages: the Constitution of the United States of America. Not bad.
In the nineteenth century, a president named Abraham Lincoln freed an entire people from the flaws in that Constitution by signing the Emancipation Proclamation. Pretty impressive.
And in the twentieth century, a doctor at the Bethesda Naval Hospital delivered a baby—but not just any baby. Because in the twenty-first century, that baby would become a man, that man would become a patriot, and that patriot would rescue a country . . . by single-handedly rewriting that Constitution.
Why? We think of our Constitution as the painstakingly designed blueprint drawn up by, in Thomas Jefferson's words, an "assembly of demigods" who laid the foundation for the sturdiest republic ever created. The truth is, it was no blueprint at all but an Etch A Sketch, a haphazard series of blunders, shaken clean and redrawn countless times during a summer of petty debates, drunken ramblings, and desperate compromise—as much the product of an "assembly of demigods" as a confederacy of dunces.
No wonder George Washington wished it "had been made more perfect." No wonder Benjamin Franklin stomached it only "with all its faults." The Constitution they wrote is a hot mess. For starters, it doesn't mention slavery, or democracy, or even Facebook; it plays favorites among the states; it has typos, smudges, and misspellings; and its Preamble, its most famous passage, was written by a man with a peg leg. Which, if you think about it, gives our Constitution hardly a leg to stand on.
[Pause for laughter.]
Now stop laughing. Because you hold in your hands no mere book, but the most important document of our time. Its creator, Daily Show writer Kevin Bleyer, paid every price, bore every burden, and saved every receipt in his quest to assure the salvation of our nation's founding charter. He flew to Greece, the birthplace of democracy. He bused to Philly, the home of independence. He went toe-to-toe (face-to-face) with Scalia. He added nightly confabs with James Madison to his daily consultations with Jon Stewart. He tracked down not one but two John Hancocks—to make his version twice as official. He even read the Constitution of the United States.
So prepare yourselves, fellow patriots, for the most significant literary event of the twenty-first, twentieth, nineteenth, and latter part of the eighteenth centuries. Me the People won't just form a More Perfect Union. It will save America.
Praise for Me the People
"I would rather read a constitution written by Kevin Bleyer than by the sharpest minds in the country."—Jon Stewart
"Bleyer takes a red pencil to democracy's most hallowed laundry list. . . . Uproarious and fascinating."—Reader's Digest
"I knew James Madison. James Madison was a friend of mine. Mr. Bleyer, you are no James Madison. But you sure are a heck of a lot more fun."—Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Team of Rivals
From the Hardcover edition.
Emmy Award winner Kevin Bleyer is an Emmy Award–winning writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, for which he has won multiple Emmy Awards. Before rewriting the Constitution, Bleyer co-authored the #1 New York Times bestseller Earth: The Book, and negotiated bipartisan consensus as a writer and producer for Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher and Dennis Miller. And he is a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations, so he secretly runs the government already. He lives in New York, where he regularly poses for portraits.

The surf continues to be the place to bend a rod. With summer temperatures keeping the water warm, there are lots of fish on the surf's edge. Fishing early will find blue fish, macs and jacks looking for breakfast. Cut bait is preferred, but that big noise top water is getting attention. These fish have teeth. They are meat eaters; they will hunt with their nose and eyes and won't stop till they find the source. The best part is they do not have to be hungry; they will bite to keep the other fish from eating.
As the water warms they will move out to deeper water and in will come the whiting, croaker and even a few pompano. It is an all-day bite. There are good size whiting, big croaker and two-pound pompano eating shrimp, clams and sand fleas, so do not forget the ice.
I had anglers in this week talking about the tarpon... the water must be warm. There are also plenty of sharks to manage your catch. I would say the best thing to do cut them off. They will not bother with you until you take them from the water.
The Indian River has been sort of hot and cold. We have anglers tell us about all the trout and anglers still looking for fish. The hard part is they were fishing the same area. This usually means someone was fishing with a heavy leader. If the water is clear and the sun is bright, try a lighter leader and feel the difference.
From Nettles Island north, in three feet of water, try a slow retrieve across the bottom. There are lots of trout, a few reds, plenty of blues, jacks and those ladyfish to make you crazy. You'll find them all the way to Bear Point. The west side has been busy with blues and they are there all day eating anything that you would throw. I suggest trying a steel leader.
From the bridges this week we saw some limits of pompano jugging with that little spoon. The problem is there's no pattern; anglers just had to be there. But still a good bite of sheephead and black drum and in the mix, and after sun down, plenty of snook.
Anglers are having the same problem with the snook as last week; the fish are over slot. You just have to keep trying.
Off shore, in spite of this nice weather, the radio has been quiet. I know there are fish out there, but anglers are being rather quiet. The southeast wind has pushed a few dolphins in closer and I think that may be the problem. Two weeks ago we had some quality fish in 300-500 feet and the anglers are out there when the fish have moved in.
I would have my baits in the water at 80-feet and would not troll deeper than 150-feet while watching for that weed line or color changes. Macs seem to have moved on, but the cobias are still with us, as are the permit. So with that, most anglers have them on their mind. Remember, live baits are preferred.
With a little luck just maybe next week we will have an offshore report.

The United Auto Workers has seen an increase in membership for the second straight year, according to Bloomberg. Last year, the union saw its ranks grow by 1.1 percent to 380,719 members, thanks in part to increased hiring by domestic automakers. In 2010, the UAW grew by six percent, but today's total is still a fraction of the 1.5 million members the union boasted in 1979. General Motors, Ford and Chrysler are expected to hire around 14,750 union workers by 2015, according to the report. That number is likely far below what the UAW will need to be able to secure significant bargaining leverage.
To that end, the UAW has made it clear that organizing a foreign-owned manufacturing facility is crucial to its survival. UAW president Bob King vowed to unionize one such plant last year but failed to do so. Now the UAW is reportedly handing out authorization cards at the new Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Workers there have reportedly had mixed-reactions to the prospect of unionization.
