And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. – Luke 2:52
Greetings, friends! I am here to day to share some of my observations regarding the humanity of our Lord and Savior and how that might relate to us today. One of the greatest mysteries about our faith is how Jesus Christ, God the Son, humbled Himself and came down to us incarnate as a man. In that time, He was both 100% deity and 100% human. We can often forget the 100% human part. This means that He had to go through all the things we do. He had to discover the world for Himself just as all babies do. He had to receive instruction from His earthly parents, just as we all did. He went through the natural maturing process.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, had to learn. Though He was God, there is absolutely no indication in Scripture that He had all knowledge and wisdom from birth. In fact, we can see from the verse highlighted above and others nearby (ie Luke 2:40) that He had to undergo a growth process in many areas. The four areas of growth underwent by our Lord about which Luke writes here are growth in stature, growth in wisdom, growth in favor with God and growth in favor with men. Since we are to strive to be like Jesus and conform to His image and His ways (1 John 2:6, 1 Corinthians 11:1, 1 Peter 2:21, Ephesians 5:1, Romans 8:29, etc.), it is a good practice to look at Scripture to find out what Jesus was like and what He did. In this case, what He did was grow, and grow we should as well, in the same four ways.
In most instances of growth, there are aspects in which we cannot control and must simply let growth occur on its own time. Nowhere is this better seen than in physical growth. The Bible says that Jesus grew in stature. The Greek word translated "stature" can mean maturity or age as well, but is also connected with actual physical stature. It is the same word used to describe Zaccheus's height in Luke 19. It is also the same word used in John 9:21-23 regarding someone being of age to speak for himself. So it can be seen that this word regards both maturity in terms of age and responsibility as well as the physical growth one naturally undergoes.
Growth in stature, then, has a very natural aspect to it. We cannot control our rate of aging. We could not control, as children, how quickly we grew taller or reached puberty. This is all done at the pleasure of our Lord, who ordained one to be a tall man and another a short man. He ordained one man's voice to crack at 13 while another's waited until 17. Everything God does in us is part of His great purpose, though we are far too small to see the big picture. Everything is done on His time (Ecclesiastes 3:11). So it is with our aging. Jesus grew in stature as part of this natural process. The Bible does not indicate that He rushed things. In fact, there is a pretty sizeable gap between Jesus at twelve years old, as He was during the time described in Luke chapter 2, and the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar (around 26 AD) described in Luke 3:1. The difference is somewhere between 10 and 20 years, probably in the 16-18 range. This is the time of Jesus's growth. He did not rush it. He allowed Himself to grow on God's time, as we all should.
Growth in stature does have an aspect where we, as those growing, can have influence, however. How do we do this? One way is being obedient to God's word regarding ourselves. Psalm 136:25 indicates that the food we eat is a gift from God, and go no further than the parable of the talents if you want to find out how God expects His people to handle His gifts. We are called to be good stewards of God's gifts and use them for the best use possible and for the good of His kingdom. We are called not to misuse His gifts. I will be the first to admit that I have misused food over the years and it has taken a toll on my body. I have repented of this sin and am, by God's mercy, grace and power, changing my wicked habits and my outlook on this gift. Read through the book of Proverbs as well to find out how often the word of God lumps gluttony in with drunkenness. At the end of the day, remember that we live by God's word before food. On a short side note, I would also encourage the occasional fast, which can help in numerous ways.
Growth by eating right is not the only thing one can control. In 1 Corinthians 9:27, Paul talks about the importance of keeping his physical body under discipline. It is clear that we are to take care of the temple of the Holy Spirit (our bodies). It is also clear that we can control this. Like gluttony, laziness is condemned in the book of Proverbs and beyond. So we can control how we eat and what we do with our bodies, and thereby we have some control over our growth. We, like Jesus, should endeavor to grow in stature rather than letting the bad habits prevalent in today's society stunt that growth.
Second, Jesus grew in wisdom. It cannot be overstated how important the concept of wisdom is in the Bible. Read Proverbs 3:13-18.
How blessed is the man who finds wisdom and the man who gains understanding. For her profit is better than the profit of silver and her gain is better than fine gold. She is more precious than jewels; and nothing you desire compares with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, and happy are all who hold her fast.
This was not a subtle point Solomon was trying to make here. Solomon prayed for wisdom (an understanding, or hearing, heart) and was directly granted his wish by God. For this to be his one wish, as king of all of God's people, and God to be pleased by that wish shows how important wisdom is to God as well as to life in general.
We too have the promise of wisdom if we will only ask God in prayer, according to James 1:5. This is a very powerful Biblical promise; I would encourage you to make asking God for wisdom a part of your daily prayers. James 3:17 calls wisdom from above "pure… peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy." Who would not desire such a gift? How do we grow in wisdom? We ask God.
Wisdom is also a practiced and learned attribute. Proverbs 19:20 says that you gain wisdom by listening to counsel and accepting discipline. Proverbs 14:16 advises that wise people are cautious and turn from evil, which are habits that those who wish to grow in wisdom should cultivate. The bottom line can be found near the beginning of the book of Proverbs, in chapter 1 and verse 7: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction." It all comes back to God. The fear of God is something that is rarer and rarer these days, yet it is the very beginning of knowledge. Read the word of God in the book of Job:
And to man He said, "Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding." – Job 28:28
Proverbs 8:35 says that those who find wisdom find life as well, and obtain favor from the Lord. This is a perfect segue into the third way Jesus grew: in favor with God. None of these aspects is an island; Jesus grew in all four together. So you see how they might be linked to one another: find wisdom and grow in God's favor.
The Bible has a lot to say about the favor of God. It seems to be something God rains down upon those who obey Him as Lord. Consider Psalm 5:12, which indicates that the Lord covers the righteous with His favor as though it was a shield. But it is not only the very pious gaining favor, though obedience is something to which all Christians are called. Proverbs 18:22 says that those who get married obtain favor with the Lord! It says getting married is good! I wholeheartedly agree.
Ideally, a Christian should only marry once, though, and Jesus was not married, so He must have grown in other ways. Most often, in the Bible, this is through obedience. Consider Deuteronomy 28:1.
Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
If you love God, you will do His will and keep His commandments (see John 14:15). God, in turn, will grand you divine favor, something which all of us need and in which all of us should strive to grow.
As another segue, I would like you to see how the Bible links favor with God and favor with men, the fourth way Jesus grew. It is interesting how keeping the commandments of God and heeding His teaching will help a Christian grow in both areas:
My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you. Do not let kindness and truth leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart, so you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and man. – Proverbs 3:1-4
It is important to note that the qualities which gain you favor with men and help you grow in that favor are qualities that are bestowed upon you by God. Esther 2:15 shows how someone can win the favor of men by listening to sound advice. Proverbs 11:27 says that seeking good amounts to seeking favor. There seems to be a theme here among a lot of these growth categories. Doing the right thing, seeking God, listening to sound advice and not despising correction can go a long way in growing in wisdom, favor with God and favor with man.
Moses wrote thousands of years ago how a hard man named Potiphar, a high-ranking officer in ancient Egypt, had favor on one of God's men.
Now his master saw that the Lord was with him and how the Lord caused all that he did to prosper in his hand. So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal servant; and he made him overseer of his house, and all that he owned he put in his charge. – Genesis 39:3-4
If the Lord is with you and you allow Him to work through you, though you probably won't be liked by the world for it, you will find favor with the people who matter. You grow in favor with men by being closer to the Lord.
God wishes us all to be like Christ. One of the things that entails is growth in the ways we discussed. Peter ended his second letter with a command to grow in the grace and knowledge of God. This is what we are instructed to do. To stop the growth process and fall into complacency is to disobey God, who suffered and died so that we may live! Don't grow in a race with others, but in harmony with the things God is doing every day to perfect you as a born-again follower of Christ.
For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. – Philippians 1:6
Thank you for reading, and God Bless!
- Brother Brian

It looks like 2004 is
getting off to a great start for airline pilot hiring. Air Inc.,
the pilot recruiting company just released its January Hiring
Summary and the numbers are promising. THe company claims, "Not
since November 2002 have carriers reported hiring numbers this
high." Air Inc. says national carriers lead the way by hiring 266
pilots in January.
The summary indicates that Jet Operator and Non-jet Operator
divisions hired 111 and 98 respectfully. The Majors are hiring once
again, taking on 67 additional pilots last month. For the most
part, the furlough numbers continued to decline, dropping 2.45
percent from 9,905 on furlough in December to 9668 last month. The
National sector rose slightly, up 7.27 percent, from 578 to 620.
The Non-jet Operators reported only 43 pilots on furlough and
pilots within the Major sector fell 2.85 percent from 9,105 to
8,919. Airlines reporting to AIR, Inc. forecast approximately 4,300
new pilot jobs in the next 12 months and there's not doubt the
hiring numbers in January support this! AIR, Inc. forecasts between
6,500 - 7,000 new pilots jobs for 2004!
The four Major cargo carriers came out of hibernation last
month. FedEx, ABX (formerly Airborne Express), United Parcel
Service (UPS), and ASTAR all reported hiring possibilities for the
coming year. FedEx, though not hiring in 2004, announced they are
once again accepting resume updates online. Although ABX currently
has 32 pilots on furlough, they are accepting resumes. UPS
offered words of encouragement to pilots attending the DFW AIR,
Inc. Job Fair in January by telling the hopeful attendees to "stay
current and get ready." Astar reported to AIR, Inc. that they will
be interviewing pilots in February for 6 six positions and may hire
an additional 10 pilots in the near future. It looks like the
silent era of the cargo carriers is over!
The Los Angeles AIR, Inc. Airline Pilot Career Job Fair/Seminar
will be held April 23-25 at the LAX Airport Marriott Hotel. Many
airlines have been invited to attend and as of February 10, America
West, American Eagle, AirNet, JetBlue, and Tab Express have
accepted. AIR, Inc. expects at least 15 airlines to attend.

For the last while, I have been following the unfolding events in Stony Stratford.
For those of you who aren't aware of what has been going on there, a local counsellor, Paul Bartlett is hoping to ban smoking in all public areas within the town. This proposal has met with widespread protest, not only from smokers but also non-smokers who see it not as a health issue but as an infringement on civil liberties.
What struck me about the whole business is the mindset of Bartlett. Here is a man who seems to be completely obsessed with smoking, to the point of describing his own father as "disgusting". He sees it as his duty to ban the evil practice from public view but he really doesn't know how to go about it.
Bartlett knows damn well that an argument on the basis of health won't work as he knows that any such argument has no proof whatsoever. He then tries the litter card. Apparently cigarette butts are crawling with all sorts of nasty infestations, all waiting to kill our children. Naturally he plays the "children" card.
I listened to a broadcast where he was interviewed. Naturally he was asked about the reasons for the ban and his replies are worth listening to, as they give a rather frightening insight into the mind of a true Anti. He played the health card. That was shot down. He played the litter card. That was shot down. In the end he reverted to what was essentially a load of gibberish about "scalding and burning children", "asthmatics dropping dead because someone lit up", "second hand cancer" and a lot more unadulterated bollox.
What is quite plain from the interview is that Bartlett has no real reason for the ban other than an obsessional hatred for smokers. He probably doesn't know why he hates them, but the hatred is there. He actually comes across as a middle aged man who lives with his mammy and who has been indoctrinated from birth with the evils of tobacco. Like any other religion, it is a matter of blind faith without any proof whatsoever.
I find that interview rather scary. It comes across as the insane ramblings of someone who has a devout faith in the new religion of Anti-smoking and who is prepared to impose his will on everyone else. Worse still is that he is in a position to actually try to impose that will.
In another story, I saw further evidence of this insanity; this willingness to impose laws on the whole population using arguments that are designed to strike with absolutely no regard for the facts. In an attempt to ban smoking in private cars they are using arguments that would be really funny if they weren't so serious -
"Delegates heard that smoking in a car was more damaging to a person's health than breathing in exhaust fumes, because particle concentrations were 27 times higher than in a smoker's home and 20 times higher than they used to be in a pub, when smoking was allowed.
That made it safer to have the exhaust pipe on the inside of the car than to smoke cigarettes in terms of fine particulate matter."

Red Oak bank robbed
By 03/13/2003 00:00:00
The Ellis County Press
RED OAK - MainBank on Interstate Highway 35 was robbed Tuesday, March 11 around noon, police officials said.
According to Red Oak Police Department Lt. Stephen Anderson, the suspect entered into the bank with a gun, and upon demanding money from clerks, fired the gun.
There were no injuries, according to Anderson.
After the shots were fired, Red Oak police said the suspect threw down the gun and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Witnesses said the suspect's vehicle resembled a four-door sedan, most likely a Toyota. The vehicle, according to police, had a possible Texas license plate number XXC-09T and bank customers reported the vehicle traveling south on the north I-35 service road.
County law enforcement officials have said the number of crimes is expected to increase due to the dismal economy.
Any persons with information regarding the robbery are urged to call the ROPD at 972-617-0023.

Hundreds gathered at Seattle Center for a New Year's Eve-style countdown to 12 a.m., when the legalization measure passed by voters last month took effect. When the clock struck, they cheered and sparked up in unison.

The Windows Phone Marketplace now has over 60,000 apps, according to All About Windows Phone. While the number of apps available on Windows Phone isn't impressive when comparing it to Android and iOS, the growth the Windows Phone Marketplace has had recently is. In just 25 days, the Marketplace jumped up from 50,000 apps to 60,000. And on average, 400 new apps are submitted every day.
While the quantity of apps available on the Marketplace is measurable, the quality isn't. But from our experience with Windows Phone, we'd have to say that the quality isn't quite there yet. It's close, but there are some apps that we use on both iOS and Android that haven't yet made it to Windows Phone. Hopefully this changes as Microsoft continues to grow its market share with the young OS which in turn will attract more developers to the platform.

New ultra-thin glass is just two atoms thick, earns Guinness World Record
A new record for the world's thinnest sheet of glass has been set, and it comes in at just two atoms thick. The ultra-thin glass, now recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records, was an accidental discovery by scientists at Cornell University and Germany's University of Ulm. As they were working to produce pure graphene, the researchers noticed a formation of "muck," but closer analysis revealed a glass layer composed of silicon and oxygen. In other words, this major discovery was something of a stroke of luck. Scientists suspect that an air leak prompted a reaction between copper foils being used for the graphene work and a quartz furnace.
And despite the glass pane's barely-there size, it's providing scientists with a wealth of…

Oh Cool, IBM Also Made Some Star Trek Art With Atoms
Bear in mind the other day's stop movement video that IBM made using individual atoms as pixels!.?. !? Well it ends up they also made some Star Trip art while they went to it. Why? Not sure, presumably since there's a brand-new movie coming out. That or they simply really like Star Trip. Or maybe a crazed Trekkie with among those horrifying looking Klingon struggle swords was threatening them bodily damage if they didn't. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS. For lunch today? The possibilities are extremely limited. It's looking like a Carnation Instant Morning meal or run the risk of attempting the cottage cheese that ended a week back. I'm kind of afraid to look at it however due to the fact that I enjoy cottage cheese and if it's musty I'll have a tough time getting the image from my head the next time I go to the grocery store wishing to purchase more. Now pay attention: you may not such as home cheese, but do not act like you have no idea what I'm discussing. Shared experiences like this– that's exactly what makes us all human.

Teensy: Stop Motion Made Using Single Atoms As Pixels
This is a short stop motion video from IBM that they produced using SINGLE ATOMS as individual pixels. Do you understand how small an atom is? No? Well think of a bouncy ball. Now think of a SUPER F \*\*\* ING TEENY bouncy ball. That's how small an atom is provided you imagined a bouncy ball small enough. The atoms in the video have actually been multiplied 100-million times. The pubic hair I plucked and looked at under a microscope in 10th grade biology course? I think that was 50x. My laboratory partner informed on me too which is exactly why she got SHOCK DISSECTED FROG COMPONENTS in her knapsack the following semester. Do not tinker science, Stephanie!
Arrived the jump for the short in addition to a making-of video if you're really into science and not simply fabricating it due to the fact that science is supposed to be so cool right now. You know who you are.

Dances with atoms: IBM researchers create a short film using only microscopic particles
A group of IBM researchers took a break from studying atomic data storage to work on something a bit more lighthearted: a stop motion movie made entirely out of atoms. The film, aptly named A Boy and His Atom, was created by arranging atoms with a scanning tunneling microscope and then capturing the arrangement as an image, magnified to over 100 million times its actual size. The final result is a brief 242 frames that show a charming story of a boy dancing and playing with an atom. Before its debut today, IBM even had the Guinness World Records verify the short as the "world's smallest movie."
IBM is accompanying the film with a series of short videos explaining the technology that was involved in creating it. In the videos, the team…

Extreme closeup! IBM makes 'world's smallest movie' using atoms (video)
After taking a few shadowy pictures for the scientific world's paparazzi, the atom is now ready for its closeup. Today, a team of IBM scientists are bypassing the big screen to unveil what they call the "world's smallest movie." This atomic motion picture was created with the help of a two-ton IBM-made microscope that operates at a bone-chilling negative 268 degrees Celsius. This hardware was used to control a probe that pulled and arranged atoms for stop-motion shots used in the 242-frame film. A playful spin on microcomputing, the short was made by the same team of IBM eggheads who recently developed the world's smallest magnetic bit. Now that the atom's gone Hollywood, what's next, a molecular entourage?

Researchers capture a single atom's shadow, has implications for quantum computers
A very small atom can cast a very large shadow. Well, not literally, but figuratively. Researchers at Griffith University have managed to snap the first image of a single atom's shadow and, while the dark spot may be physically small, the implications for the field of quantum computing are huge. The team of scientists blasted a Ytterbium atom suspended in air with a laser beam. Using a Fresnel lens, they were able to snap a photograph of the dark spot left in the atom's wake as the laser passed over it. The practical applications could improve the efficiency of quantum computers, where light is often used to transfer information. Since atoms have well understood light absorption properties, predictions can be made about the depth of a shadow cast, improving communication between the individual atoms performing calculations. The research could even be applied to seemingly mundane and established fields like X-Ray imaging, by enabling us to find the proper intensity levels to produce a quality image while minimizing damage to cells. For more info, check out the current issue of Nature.

IBM stores bits on arrays of atoms, shrinks magnetic storage to the scientific limit
IBM's Almaden Research Center is filled with some of the best and brightest minds in the world, and its researchers just released new findings that detail how just how far IBM has come in the realm of magnetic storage. Andreas Heinrich is leading the team at Big Blue that figured out how to create atomic storage based on the fact that atoms of ferromagnetic material align their spins in one direction — so the ability to control the spin direction is what's needed to make such minature memory possible. Heinrich and his crew were able to accomplish the trick by supercooling 12 atoms to four degrees kelvin (-452 fahrenheit), and arranging them using an electron microscope in such a away that nonvolatile storage became possible. As this is only a proof of concept, we won't be seeing atomic memory at, say, CES any time soon, but you can dig into the deep science behind the breakthrough at the source link below.

This electric wire is four atoms thick, and you thought speaker cable was fiddly (video)
This should come as a great relief to anyone planning a quantum computer self-build: wires still conduct electricity and obey key laws of classical physics even when they're built at the nanoscale. Researchers at Purdue and Melbourne universities used chains of phosphorus atoms inside a silicon crystal to create a wire that's just four atoms wide and a single atom high — 20 times smaller than the previous record-holder and infinitely narrower than anything you'd find at Newegg. The video after the break almost explains how they did it.

When Professionals told her she 'couldn't' or 'wouldn't', she worked herself harder- sometimes to the point of exhaustion. Barriers and limitations put before her became a personal challenge to let people know she is worthy of high ideals and capable of great expectations.
Born into a family of three boys, she was blessed to have the playful and gentle guidance of loving brothers. Competing with them for attention and time, she proved herself superior to the task. As she grew, their influence stayed with her- making her a social genius and a skilled comedian.
Lauren danced before she could walk. At age three, Lauren was in her element from her first dance class. There, a loving teacher taught her the rigors of discipline and the nature of art. For thirteen years, she loved the dance and craved the stage. After each performance, Lauren made herself known by waving and blowing kisses to her "fans".
She made her acting debut in the film "Mr. Blue Sky", playing the part of young Andra Little. Her acting skills impressed the producers and casting directors of "Glee" enough that they cast her on the hit Fox television program. Playing the recurring role of Becky Jackson for the second season continues to open doors for Lauren, and she hopes these doors will open wider still!
Lauren is currently serving as the spokesperson for AbilityPath.org to "Disable Bullying", and is also working with the Special Olympics on their "Spread the Word to End the 'R' Word" campaign. Lauren has benefitted from and is committed to a simple ideal: that she shares in the rights and privileges of all citizens and has much to offer. By simple extension, she believes these rights extend to all people.
Lauren and our Participants at the Farm to Table Event, featuring Chef Fred DeAngelo and Chef Eric Leterc. Thank you to the Chefs, Nalo Farms, and The Pacific Club for a great day!

Adopt your next companion
Kudos to officials for reportedly rescuing nearly 500 dogs—many of whom were allegedly suffering from sores, open wounds, and skin conditions and were kept in stacked wire cages—from an apparent puppy mill near Bowie (AP story).
I encourage readers who are upset about how these dogs suffered to help put puppy mills out of business by never buying animals from pet stores.
Most pet store puppies come from puppy mills where animals are kept in tiny, feces-caked cages and are never given any love, attention, or even a chance to roll in the grass; where food, veterinary care and shelter are often inadequate; and where female dogs are killed when their worn-out bodies can no longer produce puppies.
What's more, pet store puppies steal homes from dogs in shelters whose lives depend on being adopted.
If you are ready to provide a dog with a loving home for life, please adopt your new companion from a shelter or rescue group and have him or her neutered or spayed.

Geoff Wheeler - Head Men's Soccer Coach
(860) 685-2898 - email@example.com
Geoff Wheeler joined the Wesleyan staff in 1999 and moves into his 16th season at the helm in 2014. His teams have developed into a conference, regional and national power, including the 2009 season with an undefeated regular-season mark (10-0-4) and a third NCAA tournament bid in a five-year period. In 2011, the Cardinals nearly equaled that effort, going 10-0-3 over the first 13 contests before finishing up 11-3-3 with a fourth-ever NCAA playoff spot. The 2012 season marked a fifth NCAA tournament qualification in an eight-season span behind a 9-4-4 overall record. Geoff's teams made two consecutive appearances in the NESCAC tournament semifinals in 2003 and 2004, then won the NESCAC title in 2005, leading to two straight NCAA tournament bids in 2005 and 2006. His 2007 troops set school marks for consecutive victories (10) and consecutive shutouts (5) while the 2009 squad established the school record for longest unbeaten streak (15 games) and most shutouts in a season (12). The 2010 Cardinals returned to the NESCAC semifinals after upsetting Williams in the first round while the 2012 and 2013 squads also reached the semis.

bate commented on the blog post Medical Marijuana May Serve as a Preview for Fed's Response to Legal Marijuana
This article nails the biggest challenge to legalization measures; you've got to be able to attract women voters.
It was lack of female support that killed Oregon's Measure 80. Win over this group and you win the vote. So the question becomes – how can the goal of ending marijuana prohibition be framed such that women will support it? The answer should consider that, according to recent polling, the number one issue with this group is jobs and the economy.

Tourism in Tomb of Ramsses III (KV 11)
King Ramses III was the second ruler of the Twentieth Dynasty, and the last of great pharaohs on the throne. Ramses III, son of Setnakht, ruled Egypt for 31 years. Shortly before his death, there was a conspiracy to kill him by several members of his household including one of his minor wives, Queen Tiy. It was essentially an attempt to ensure her son's ascending to the throne. The trial of this conspiracy is shown upon the walls of his mortuary temple at Madint Habu. The tomb was begun by Setnakht, who then abandoned it and turned to KV14 where he was buried. Setnakht's son, Ramses III, then resumed work on KV11. James Bruce was the first European traveler to enter this tomb in 1768. He was struck by the painted figures of the two blind harpists that he called it the Tomb of the Harpist...Read More

Could risperdal and Yaz cause my period to stop?
- Q: I stopped getting my period after starting risperdal. My doc says my prolactin level is normal. I am also on Yaz for PMDD. Could that cause my period to stop?
- A: Risperdal can cause amenorrhea and appears to be associated only by elevated prolactin levels. Once patients were taken off risperdal or dosage was reduced, menstruation restarted. Amenorrhea can be a side effect of Yaz. Pregnancy should be ruled out. Contact your doctor about your concerns with your menstrual cycle and use of Yaz and Risperdal. Do not start or stop any medications or treatments without first talking to your doctor. I believe you will find the following links at everydayhealth.com also very helpful for your current situation. http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/risperdal http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/yaz.

Steve Madden (born 1958) is the founder and former CEO of Steven Madden, Ltd., a publicly-traded footwear company.
Life and career[edit]
Madden was born in Far Rockaway, Queens, and has Irish and Jewish ancestry.[1] He grew up in adjoining Lawrence in Nassau County, New York.[2][3] The youngest of three brothers, he started the company with $1,100 in 1990 by selling shoes out of the trunk of his car. The brand reported revenues of $1.23 billion in 2012(FY 2012),[4] and is sold throughout the world.
He is married to Wendy Ballew, his former director of operations. The couple has three children, twins Jack and Stevie Madden,[5] and Goldie Ryan Madden.[6]
Retail stores[edit]
There are roughly 100 Steve Madden retail stores across the United States. While the company and its stores focus primarily on Steve Madden products, they also carry three more subcategorized Steve Madden lines; Madden Girl, STEVEN by Steve Madden and Freebird by Steven.
Internationally, Steve Madden has a presence in over 55 countries with roughly 185 retail stores & 180 concessions.
Awards and honors[edit]
- Footwear News Person of the Year Award (December 2011)[7]
- Footwear News Best Performing Wholesaler Award (December 2011)[7]
- Footwear News Company of the Year Award (November 2011)[8]

Madden's financial affairs were closely entangled with Long Island "pump and dump" brokerage Stratton Oakmont, cofounded by Madden's childhood friend Danny Porush.
In June 2000, a class action lawsuit was filed against Steve Madden[15] for issuing materially false and misleading statements during the Class Period. A settlement of $9,000,000 was reached in 2004.[16] In 2001, the SEC filed charges against Madden in Federal Court in New York state, alleging SEC violations.[17] Because the violations were not criminal in nature, the SEC was seeking to recover $1,637,000 in a combination of illegally avoided losses, interest, and a civil penalty.
In 2002, Madden was convicted of stock manipulation, money, and securities fraud. He was sentenced to 31 months in prison, and was made to resign as CEO from Steven Madden, Ltd. and from the board of directors.[18]
Shortly after resigning as CEO, Madden set himself up as a creative consultant with Steven Madden, Ltd., a position for which he drew $700,000 even when he was in prison.[19]
Madden served time in the Federal Prison Camp, Eglin, at Eglin Air Force Base, and later Coleman Federal Correctional Complex, near Ocala FL. Madden was released from prison in April 2005.[20] He then attended a New York City halfway house.[21] Madden's attorney, Joel Winograd, said that Madden would stay at the house for 60 days.[22] After his release from a halfway house, he was restricted to home confinement for a period.[23]
In popular culture[edit]
Steve Madden (played by Jake Hoffman) is featured in the Martin Scorsese film, The Wolf of Wall Street, which is based on the Jordan Belfort memoir of the same name. In the movie, Madden is seen visiting Stratton Oakmont, where Belfort gives the brokers a rousing pep talk about pushing Madden's stock.
