In a March 23 "Today's Blogs," Bidisha Banerjee originally stated that "NASA is about to launch a new shuttle." NASA is about to start launching shuttles again, but Discovery, the shuttle in question, was built in 1984.

Though not all neurological experts agree about Schiavo's brain function, her condition is most commonly referred to as a "persistent vegetative state," a comalike condition in which the patient is still capable of some limited movement.
