Schizencephaly is a rare birth defect that involves slits or clefts in the cerebral hemispheres of the brain. These clefts may appear on either one or both sides of the brain. They may be filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
What Causes Schizencephaly?
An exact cause for schizencephaly is not known. In fact, there may be several causes. In some cases, the defect is linked to mutations of the EMX2, SIX3, and SHH genes (Office of Rare Diseases Research). Cases of schizencephaly occurring in siblings also point to a possible genetic or hereditary cause.
There also appears to be vascular causes not related to the central nervous system (CNS).
Having a young mother has also been associated with schizencephaly.
Who Is at Risk for Schizencephaly?
Schizencephaly is an extremely rare disorder. A study in the UK found a prevalence of 1.48 for every 100,000 births (Office of Rare Disease Research).
Since the exact cause of the disorder is unknown, it is hard to pinpoint risk factors. A few possibilities include:
- having a young mother
- having a sibling, especially an identical twin, with schizencephaly
- having non-CNS vascular problems before birth
- having certain genetic mutations
Symptoms of Schizencephaly
Symptoms of schizencephaly vary depending on whether the clefts in the brain are located on both sides (bilateral) or on only one side (unilateral).
Bilateral clefts have more serious symptoms. They often result in developmental delays, and delays in learning speech and language skills. They can also cause problems with movement due to poor communication between the brain and the spinal cord.
Unilateral clefts almost always produce paralysis on one side of the body. However, most people with unilateral clefts have normal to near-normal intelligence.
Other symptoms of schizencephaly include being partially or completely paralyzed, poor muscle tone, or having a head that is smaller than normal. Recurring seizures are also a symptom. Too much fluid accumulating in the brain can also be a symptom (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke).
Diagnosis of Schizencephaly
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is usually used for diagnosis because it has better definition than a computed tomography (CT) scan. MRIs can also take images in more than one place. The diagnosis of schizencephaly is confirmed if telltale clefts are found in one or both cerebral hemispheres.
Treatment for Schizencephaly
At this time, there is no cure for schizencephaly. However, there are several treatments that can help improve quality of life.
If an infant has cerebrospinal fluid (CFS) in the brain, doctors can insert shunts. These redirect the fluid to other parts of the body where it can be harmlessly reabsorbed.
Medication is often prescribed to help prevent seizures.
There are at least three different kinds of therapists that can help a child with schizencephaly. Physical therapists can help with gross (large) motor movements like standing, walking, and strengthening arms and legs. Occupational therapists deal with fine motor movements like feeding oneself and getting dressed. Speech therapists can help children who have trouble learning to speak or if paralysis makes swallowing difficult.
Clinical trials
Because so little is known about this condition, researchers are always looking for children who have schizencephaly to participate in clinical trials. Many trials offer free treatments such as medications or therapies. Before deciding to sign your child up for a clinical trial, speak with your child's doctor and read all research material closely.
Prognosis for Schizencephaly
Because it is so rare, little is known about long-term prognosis for this disorder. In general, researchers believe that it depends on the size of the clefts and the extent of disabilities they cause.

It's out with the old and in with the new! Soon-to-be ex- "View" co-host Sherri Shepherd has found a new gig, and it couldn't be farther from her hosting role on the daily ABC chat fest. The 47-year-old star, who ends her seven year run on "The View" this Friday, has landed the role of the wicked stepmother Madame in the Broadway adaption of "Cinderella."
Shepherd announced the news on Tuesday's live episode of "The View," after pulling out a pair of glass slippers. According to an Aug. 5 report by CBS News, Shepherd will begin appearing in the production of "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella" starting Sept. 9 at the Broadway Theatre. It was previously announced that Keke Palmer will star in the title role in the buzzy new adaption of the classic story.
While Shepherd is best known for "The View," she has a TV and film resume that includes "30 Rock," "Everybody Loves Raymond," "Precious," and "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa." But, like Palmer, this will be her first foray on the Great White Way.
According to Us Weekly, Shepherd will replace the show's current star, Nancy Opel, as Madame, and her groundbreaking casting marks the first time an African-American has taken the role on Broadway. But interestingly, Shepherd won't be the first "View" co-host to land a part in an adaption of the "Cinderella" story. In 1997, Whoopi Goldberg appeared in a TV movie version of the musical.
In addition to her Broadway run, Shepherd has also joined the cast of Universal's "Ride Along 2" starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube. But her happy acting news comes at the same time as some not-so-happy personal news. The actress has been battling her estranged husband Lamar Sally over custody of a baby boy born via surrogate. The baby was reportedly born Tuesday in Pennsylvania, and People revealed that the separated couple has not yet reached a custody agreement. Shepherd recently won custody of her 9-year-old son, Jeffery, after a court battle against her first husband, Jeff Tarpley.

As Princess' 2003 - 2004 cruise season announcements continue to trickle forth, the company reveals another "new" route (yesterday's was the line's first foray into Antarctica): a series of roundtrip Hawaiian itineraries out of Los Angeles. Regal Princess will offer 15-day voyages where ports of call include Hilo, Kona, Honolulu, Kauai and Maui.
The biggest appeal of Regal Princess' series of seven roundtrips (between November 2003 and March 2004) is that the itinerary avoids the oft-inconvenient split air (usually passengers cruising Hawaii sail between Honolulu and either Ensenada, San Diego or Vancouver) scenario. However, the long, long trek across the Pacific -- lots of sea days for true aficionados -- still places the cruise out of the reach of the younger passengers that Norwegian Cruise Line is courting with its industry-only seven day roundtrip Honolulu sailings.

It's been some time now since we watched Jackson stand up and rip April's wedding day to shreds by declaring his love for her. Spoiler TV shared a teaser promo on Jan. 20 for the next half of season 10 of "Grey's Anatomy."
The clip is short, lasting only 26 seconds but what a powerful 26 seconds it is. IN it, April and Matthew are in the hospital, she in scrubs, he in his EMT uniform. This time it is April professing her love for Matthew and telling him she chooses him. Then she asks him to marry her. Matthew stares incredulously at her, apparently not knowing how to respond and that's where it ends.
This would seem to imply that she doesn't choose Jackson after all. However as the teaser ends, the screen is emblazoned with #choosematthew and #choosejackson, this time implying the choice is not yet final. This is so confusing!
"Grey's Anatomy" is set to return on Thursday, Feb. 27. Until then, check back often for more news and updates.

"Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son." (2 John 1:9)
Today, pagan religious practices are infiltrating Christian churches through various means including the New Age Movement, Lectio Divina and contemplative prayer (also called centering prayer). Popular modern day teachers like Beth Moore are promoting other teachers like Brennan Manning, a Francescan priest ordained in 1963 who has taught on praying contemplative prayer and repetitive mantras in a book entitled Signature of Jesus (see page 204). On the next page he warns his readers to not judge/evaluate their contemplative prayer times (translation: put all God-given discernment aside). In the Las Vegas area, some ministries have chosen to boycott Moore's materials in order to "protect the flock", while others have chosen to abide and continue in them.
As a result of aberrant teachings arising in Christian churches (see the predictions of this in the Bible from the prophets including Matthew 7:15, Acts 20:30, 2 Thessalonians 2:3 and 1 Timothy 4:1), various gifted apologetics and discernment ministries have popped up through the world. These ministries specialize in exposing false doctrines and practices out of love for other Christians (and love for the truth of the Bible) in order that fellow believers in Christ would come out of the deception and apostasy. Be on the look-out as popular evangelical leaders join together and hold hands to bring contemplative prayer to thousands: Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, Richard Foster and even Max Lucado (also an avid supporter of Manning; see his full endorsement on the last page of Manning's book here). We must be wise and alert to the modern false ecumenical, last days agenda. This (part I) apologetics/discernment article is just a brief review of Beth Moore's endorsement of Brennan Manning.
According to an article on contemplative prayer, contemplative prayer has slowly increased in practice and popularity along with the rise of the emerging church movement—a movement which embraces many unscriptural teachings and practices. Contemplative prayer is one such practice. Moore speaks about contemplative prayer in the audio provided.
In Beth Moore's book entitled When Godly People Do Ungodly Things, available at the Paseo Verde Library in Henderson, Brennan Manning is quoted several times in chapters two, four and eighteen. Moore states that Manning's book is "remarkable". Moore is an avid fan of Brennan Manning's teachings:
Brenning Manning, in one of the most remarkable books I have ever read, follows Bonhoeffer's quote with his own words... (Page 398; chapter eighteen).
Beth Moore also endorses his book Ruthless Trust in chapter two. In chapter four, she quotes his book The Ragamuffin Gospel when he speaks of becoming an alcoholic after he became a Christian and after he served as a spiritual director at a catholic seminary. In chapter four, Beth Moore states:
The Body of Christ is blessed indeed...that Manning would minister to us out of his wealth of experience. What God has used Manning to bring to the mixed bag of our generation of believers may be a gift without parallel (page 116; chapter four).
In the endnotes of her book When Godly People Do Ungodly Things, Brennan Manning is noted several times. Moore has fully endorsed Manning and encouraged her followers to read his literature and embrace his teaching. Furthermore, Lectio Divina is listed in the citations of the book by publisher/director Amy Reinhold entitled, Be Still: 31 Days to a Deeper Meditative Prayer Life. Why is it that modern day teachers are working hard at promoting lectio divina to their followers? The publishers of this book have realeased the following official summary: "Thirty-one daily meditations which introduce readers to a form of contemplative prayer called lectio divina, in which scripture is read allowed slowly and deliberately". What does the Bible say?
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. (2 John 1:11)
Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure (1 Timothy 5:22)
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. (Ephesians 5:11)
From the Lighthouse Trails Research Newsletter:
As contemplative prayer is fast becoming a household and church wide term, partly due to projects like the Be Still DVD recently released by Fox Home Entertainment, some may ask, 'What's so bad about this practice anyway?' Something that New Agers seem to understand, but so many Christians miss, is the fact that the silence, which undergirds the whole contemplative movement, is the common denominator that ultimately leads to what is termed interspirituality, which in turn diminishes the message of the Cross.
Those who practice contemplative prayer are in great danger, and it is this that motivates many of us to continue our pleas for discernment. Many Christian leaders appear to be reluctant to speak up against the spiritual formation (i.e., contemplative) movement, and in fact may even be on the verge of joining hands with those in it. If a Christian leader is not taking a solid biblical stand against contemplative, then that leader is failing to alert his flock to a warning they need to hear. These are strong words, but if we as Christian believers do not defend the precious faith, which is the only means of salvation for mankind, who will?
Jesus said, 'And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it' (Matthew 10:38- 39).
Why is Moore such a fan of Manning? Manning also speaks of the new age term "Christ Consciousness" on page 212 of his book Signature of Jesus, and cites mystic Thomas Merton in his endnotes numerous times. Manning also taught this as a "truth": we cannot know Christ without contemplative prayer. "We come to know Christ as we persevere in contemplative prayer" (page 200). The purpose of a pastor or teacher (like Beth Moore claims to be) is to guard the flock, not point them down the wrong road. "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood" (Acts 20:28). Pray for teachers across the nation that they will not lead others down the apostate road as they promote teachers who are false and/or apostate. Oh dear friends, please fervently pray for our leaders in Las Vegas and our fellow believers to have eyes to see what Christ wants.
A couple of local churches in the Las Vegas area (in Henderson) will be hosting a Beth Moore event this weekend. Moore will be broadcasted from Green Valley Baptist Church this Saturday, Septemeber 15th at 9:30 am in Henderson via a live simulcast (please note that this is not a free event). Community Church at Anthem is also promoting and participating in this event. Green Valley Baptist Church is also having an upcoming fall Bible Study featuring Beth Moore and Priscilla Shirer called 'Faithful Abundant and True'.
"These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." (Acts 17:11)

The Laws vary from state to state so there's a difference between being a California Lawyer and a Lawyer in New York. Likewise there are variances in the Fields of Law that make being a Personal Injury Lawyer very different than being a real estate lawyer.
If you don't know yet what has happened to Kathy Sierra, read here. For those new to the subject, Kathy is the author of the blog Creating Passionate Users.
Kathy has been subject to death threats from fellow bloggers — including blogs authored or owned by some prominent names in blogging. It's shocking, disgusting and deplorable.
Other leading bloggers, like Doc Searls, are trying to get to the bottom of this mess. Kathy, and many other bloggers, is upset and rightly so. This type of conduct is outrageous and completely unacceptable.
My understanding is that the people who engaged in it were trying to be artistic, pointed and insulting in their satire. They failed miserably.
Instead they were demeaning, depraved, disgusting and perhaps even illegal. Each one of them engaged in this conduct should come clean and make an immediate apology.
Kathy — and every other blogger out there trying to provide a service, make a name, help others, share a part of themselves, or make a living — deserves to be treated with respect.
As Hugh Macleod of Gaping Void notes, "identity matters." People who comment anonymously sometimes feel that they don't have to be personally accountable for what they write. They are wrong.
Robert Scoble posted a comment on Hugh's blog demanding a public apology from "ALL involved." He's correct. He's also posted about it on his blog and has stopped blogging until Monday in support of Kathy. Bravo.
It's clear that Christopher Locke, in his half-hearted "defense" of his part in this tragedy, has no clue as to the magnitude of what has happened. Chris ended his explanation of the events in this way:
"I do not like Kathy Sierra. I like her even less after her post of Monday. If she is waiting for me to apologize for something I did or said, she is going to have a very long wait."
This either points out how callous and detached he is, or it shows his complete lack of understanding of the entire situation. I suspect the public tide will be overwhelmingly in Kathy's favor and all of those responsible for this conduct will not escape the consequences.
This public threats of violence are reprehensible and we as bloggers need to gather around in support of Kathy Sierra.
Kathy, I don't know you personally, but I understand your feelings and your fears. I am repulsed by what has happened to you and offer my support in any way possible.
Hang in there … this too will pass.

I'm on twitter and facebook now
I feel so dirty.
I was dragged kicking and screaming into myspace, but I have to say that it's really helped my stand up comedy. It's helped both in making more people aware of my gigs, and it helped me by giving me a window into the lives of some incredibly retarded people who have provided me with shit piles of laughter and comedy material while reading their profiles.
Now, I'm branching out. I really should have done this a long time ago, but I've been kinda lazy when it comes to self promoting on the internet.
The twitter thing kinda freaks me out, so I'm not sure how often I'm gonna use it.
I used to do something like it with pictures when I had a moblog, and that seemed like more fun.
We'll see. For now, I'm giving it a try.
If you use facebook, please add me so that I can better keep you up to date on where I'm traveling.
Me on facebook.
As always, the best way to keep posted on my dates in my mailing list, which is sort of like a little blog of it's own sometimes.

Has any of you ever used "no homo" after a sentence, or thought about using it?
For the record, "no homo" does not indicate any kind of homophobia. It simply means, "I realize that what I just said might have a gay subtext, but don't worry; I wasn't implying anything of a homosexual nature."
By the way, I'm not suggesting that non-gay men necessarily should or should not use this phrase; I just want to get a read on who does. Your thoughts?
Views: 4364
i have never heard nor read this phrase before.
and i think it is utterly unnecessary.
I think it's stupid...
Never heard it before. I expect it's readily punctured with a snigger and "Yeah, whatever you say."
Never heard of it. Sounds stupid. If people think you're gay because of random crap like that, "no homo" ain't going to change their mind.
I think the phrase is unnecessary. I would hope your friends know you.
It's a joke guys my age say, usually after saying something very homoerotic. It sounds dumb if you are srsbsns about it.
Regardless of its intention, it is a term derived from derogatory slang for gay people. Additionally, it is also implying that we cannot say things of an apparently effeminate nature without being associated with homosexuality while simultaneously implying we do not want to be considered a homosexual while saying these apparently socially unacceptable male phrases. Completely ridiculous phrase.
2nd. Well said.
Agreed. Unless someone is asking me out on a date, I really don't give damn what they think. If I make an off the cuff comment and somebody misconstrues they can either man up and ask me to clarify or pound sand.
You are so gay . no homo.

Camera Obscura!
By christophersaul on Feb 06, 2008
I took Mrs Saul to see sickening schmaltzfest PS I love you the other week. It was full of cliched US rom-com scenes, overdone sentimentality, contrived slapstick and Irish men saying 'ho horrrr' and 'bejaysus'. I quite enjoyed it.
The only thing that rescued my dignity was discovering the name of the band whose song 'Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken' is played during the opening credits. It's not on the 'PS I love you' soundtrack (no, I didn't buy it, I checked the track listing on Amazon), but a quick Google and I found who recorded it - a Scottish band called Camera Obscura.
I've now got all three of their albums on permanent rotation. Think Belle and Sebastien's best with a bit more production and more conventional rhymes. Brilliant stuff - well worth an hour and a half of 'ho horrr', 'bejaysus' and contrived slapstick to have discovered it.

College of Marin Superintendent/President Announces Retirement
Frances L. White, Ph.D. is looking forward to a new chapter following a distinguished career
KENTFIELD, Calif.— November 17, 2009 —College of Marin Superintendent/President Frances L. White, Ph.D. announced today her plans to retire in a letter addressed to the Board of Trustees. "Some of you may know that I have been talking about retirement for some time. Last month, I celebrated my 62nd birthday and decided there are other things I want to do, including spending more time with my family and pursuing other interests," said Dr. White.
Her last day at the college will be June 30, 2010 and she is giving this advance notice so that the college will have ample time to recruit a new leader.
Dr. White has served a total of 38 years in higher education, including two-year and four-year colleges and universities. Previously, she served five years as President of Skyline College in San Bruno, California. Her administrative experience in community colleges covers a variety of roles including serving as the Executive Vice Chancellor at City College of San Francisco and the Interim Chancellor of the San Jose/Evergreen Community College District. Dr. White is the recipient of many awards and recognitions from educators and community leaders. She has authored scholarly publications and led many workshops on community college leadership, including topics related to continuous quality improvement, mentoring, team building, and institutional effectiveness.
At the time that Dr. White began her tenure at College of Marin in April 2004; the college had been plagued by a number of serious issues, including plunging enrollment, lack of educational planning, insufficient budget reserves, deferred maintenance, and non-compliance with accrediting agency standards. Under Dr. White's leadership, the College of Marin has made great progress, including ensuring a healthy budget reserve of 12 percent, passage of a major facilities bond, enrollment growth, and the full reaffirmation of the college's accreditation.
"As the Superintendent/President, I have achieved most of my goals to improve the institution….I know that I have given the College of Marin my best thinking, judgment, professional expertise, advice, and leadership. I'm very proud of all that we have accomplished together, particularly, the hard work of the faculty, classified staff, student, administrative and board leaders," said Dr. White.
Frances L. White, Ph.D. Biography
Dr. White has a Ph.D. in education administration from the University of California at Berkeley, a master's degree in counseling psychology and a bachelor's degree in psychology from the California State University at Hayward. She is a community college graduate and earned the associate degree in general education from Merritt College in Oakland, California.
Dr. White was a full-time faculty member in the Peralta Community College District and taught a variety of courses in psychology, developmental English, and basic math. Her faculty experience also includes service as Department Chairperson of the Psychology Department, Director of Tutorial Services, Director of Learning Resources and E.O.P.S., Vice President of the California Federation of Teachers, President of the Peralta Federation of Teachers, and a member of the Academic Senate.

After whetting our appetites with buzz ballad, "Rain Sound," B.A.P are back with their official new single, "One Shot." The song marks a return to the aggressive hip-hop style that the band debuted with, following a brief period of doing the whole cute 'n' bubbly thing on last year's "Crash" and "Stop It."
"One Shot" is a surefire hit, but it's the music video that's going to attract the most attention. The 7-minute clip, which was filmed between Korea and the Philippines on a fat budget of over $900,000, is a violent crime drama in the same vein as T-ara's "Cry Cry" and "Lovey-Dovey." The B.A.P boys play mechanics (or good-natured gangsters? we can't really tell) who have to come up with a $10 million dollar ransom when member Youngjae is kidnapped by a group of street thugs. The video comes with two endings: the first mirrors the violent carnage of Bonnie & Clyde, and the second serves up a twist that could've come straight out of Mariah Carey's film flop, Wisegirls.
And of course, with this being a B.A.P video and all, there's a healthy amount of bone-breaking choreography.

And this:

Read Matthew 28:1-10
Jesus was dead and buried.
The disciples scattered and then gathered together fearful of what might come next.
Their Teacher, their Master, their Friend was gone.
Nailed to a cross like a common thief, in fact between a pair of thieves, and then rushed into a tomb before nightfall so he wouldn't be hanging on display during the Sabbath.
All in all, the Jews and Romans had made pretty quick work of this despicable drama that ended in the death of an unblemished Lamb.
If we understand the accounts correctly, Jesus was seized late on Thursday and was dead and buried before the sun went down on Friday. Perhaps we can't pin this down exactly, but things transpired quickly and were completed before the Sabbath began at sundown.
He was sealed in a tomb and a guard post was established to make sure that no one would tamper with the body and claim he had risen from the dead.
The man who turned water into wine, walked on water, fed a multitude with one Hungry Man Dinner, gave a blind man his sight, and raised his friend Lazarus from the dead was now dead himself and nobody was going to come and claim his body.
But two women would go to look at the tomb. Perhaps they just went to mourn there. Other gospel accounts suggest that they would prepare the body of Jesus for burial. The rush job to get him buried before the sun went down Friday was not sufficient.
But on this morning there was an earthquake. The earth shook on that Friday as Jesus committed his Spirit to his Father and it shook on this Sunday morning.
The stone that had been sealed to the tomb was rolled away and an angel of the Lord sat upon it. Now there's a two-fer for you—and earthquake and an angel on the same morning.
The soldiers on guard duty were paralyzed with fear. Roman soldiers were generally well trained. They could take on several attackers and still prevail, but they were ill equipped for earthquakes and angels at the same time.
As these women named Mary approach the tomb, the angel sitting on top of the stone began a short monologue.
· Don't be afraid.
· I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.
· He is not here.
· He is risen.
· OBTW—He told you this would happen.
· Come and look for yourselves.
The angel then issued an order.
Go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.
The women headed out. They were afraid and full of joy at the same time, but they were following the angel's directions.
And on their way to tell this incredible news to the disciples, they encountered Jesus. Unlike the account in John's gospel or in Luke's description of the Road to Emmaus encounter, these women recognized Jesus and they fell at his feet.
And what is the first thing that Jesus tells these women?
Hello, don't be afraid.
Greetings, don't be afraid.
Hey girls, don't be afraid.
And his directions were the same as the angel's orders. Tell all the guys to meet me in Galilee.
Don't be afraid and get all of our close friends to Galilee.
That should be a lesson to all men who want to sleep in on Sunday morning. You never know what you might miss out on.
Now elsewhere in the gospel, some of the men do go check out this incredible thing that has been reported to them; but the story of the resurrection belongs to the women.
They first receive the good news.
They first see the resurrected Christ.
They are the first to experience fear and joy upon witnessing the impossible. Even though it was promised, none of the gospels have accounts of anyone heading to the tomb to see if Jesus was raised from the dead.
Nobody said, "Let's get there at sunrise just in case he is an early riser."
Nobody said, "Let's bring a breakfast burrito. He's is going to be hungry."
Nobody said, "He is going to need a change of clothes."
Nobody came to the tomb expecting to find or hear the news that we sing of every Easter, He Lives!
But that is exactly what these women encountered.
· Don't be afraid.
· I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.
· He is not here.
· He is risen.
· OBTW—He told you this would happen.
· Come and look for yourselves.
· Now tell his friends to get to Galilee.
And they come upon Jesus and he said don't be afraid and go tell my brothers to meet me in Galilee.
Now we have the advantage of hindsight and we could armchair quarterback this and say, "I would have gone to the tomb looking for the resurrected Jesus, and at least would have brought a coffee and an Egg McMuffin."
But the disciples had been traumatized. They were scared. In the last days they were a part of some of the most insightful teaching and intimate fellowship with their Master and Teacher and Friend who had ridden into town only a few days earlier and been received as the Messiah.
That world was turned upside down is less than a day. The public and brutal nature of the crucifixion of their Master and Friend surely zapped every ounce of confidence that they had acquired over the past few years.
They were afraid.
The promises that Jesus gave them retreated to the furthest reaches of their minds.
They were scared.
And two women went to his tomb perhaps uncertain of what fate might await them. Surely the Romans would label them as sympathizers to a lost but rebellious cause.
I venture to say, that there was no spring in their step as they approached the tomb that morning.
In an instant, they were filled with fear.
In an instant, they were filled with joy.
In these moments, they were filled with joy and with fear, with fear and with joy.
The two emotions vied for dominance in these women.
But the angel said, "Don't be afraid."
Jesus said, "Don't be afraid."
And time and time again in God's word, we find the words, "Fear not" or "Don't be afraid."
The women were full of fear and joy, but Jesus said, "Let's stick to the joy."
Today is about joy.
People spend too much time dealing with fear.
Let us be about joy.
On this day above all days, let us be filled with joy.
We may wrestle with fear another day, but today be filled with joy.
Today, without regard for who might second guess you, proclaim to all you encounter, "He lives!"
"He is risen!"
"He was dead but now he lives!"
Most of us are not headed to Galilee with good news today, but we are headed somewhere.
Because of what we know and what we believe, wherever that place is that we are going today, let us go with good news, proclaiming HE LIVES!

It's looking increasingly likely that February 14th will involve us hanging out with our best girlfriends, telling awful ex stories and getting a touch sloshed. Chocolate will be a required component of the evening, of course, but we're not about to stoop to the level of a cheap drugstore box! We'll be bringing Compartés Mexican Hot Chocolate Truffles ($25 for ten) to the festivities. Rich, decadent artisan dark chocolate is taken to another level with cinnamon, then printed with skulls. They'll go great with tequila, even though we might not remember everything that was said come February 15th.

Okay, so there are a lot of things wrong with the presentation of this product on Amazon. Firstly, there's a big typo in the name. (You're right, pointing that out feels pretty good.) Secondly, we feel confident that we could wash seven apples on our own without too much trouble. Marketing aside, though, the Soak and Strain Washing* Bowl ($32) would actually be a handy kitchen tool, especially for things (like beans) that you need to soak or (like berries) that you don't want to wash individually. We're willing to overlook a lot for useful design.
*(We're assuming.)
And the product features have the bowl talking to you in the first person: "I'm the only game in town-there's nothing else quite like me"

CLEVELAND, Ohio (Ivanhoe Newswire) – 3.2 million Americans are living with hepatitis c. It was once considered a death sentence – but now, new therapies are offering a cure for many.
Roger Warmuth loves spending time with his dogs – Stella and Teak.
"They help me get through the tough times," Warmuth told Ivanhoe.
He's had some tough times to get through; 17 years ago he was diagnosed with hepatitis c – a virus that attacks the liver.
"It's given me cirrhosis. My symptoms include muscle aches and bone aches," Warmuth said.
Roger tried interferon therapy – it's an intense treatment that causes severe side effects and only works in less than half of patients.
"After going through all of this painful process of treatment, the odds were basically against them that they would not respond," Nizar Zein, MD, Chief of Hepatology and Medical Director of Liver Transplantation, Cleveland Clinic, told Ivanhoe.
Now, there are new therapies that literally wipe out the infection. A class of drugs known as DAA targets the virus itself – not the immune system. They are oral drugs – and are taken for three or six months. In clinical trials, as many as 90 percent of patients were cured of their virus.
"Going from a very toxic, highly ineffective therapy, to a highly tolerated, almost universally effective treatment," Dr. Zein said.
Warmuth will start the new drug in the next month. He's hoping it will wipe out his infection for good – so he can focus on enjoying all the "warm" moments with his pups.
The most recently approved drug in this class – sofosbuvir– was approved in December of 2013.
One downside: it's very expensive – some quotes have put it at 84-thousand dollars for 12 weeks of treatment! Researchers and drug companies are working on ways to lower the price for patients. It can be used without interferon injections avoiding many side effects. The treatment is approved by some insurance nationwide. MORE.

Feb. 22, 2013
DEKALB, Ill. – The Northern Illinois men's golf team will hit the road this weekend to play in Augusta State's Forest Hills Collegiate on Saturday, Feb. 24 at Forest Hills Golf Club in scenic Augusta, Ga. They will play 36 holes in this one-day event. Joining the Huskies and Augusta State are Jacksonville State, North Carolina Central, Charleston Southern, USC Upstate, Wofford, Gardner-Webb, Presbyterian and Tennessee Tech. Georgia, ranked 11th in the GolfWeek rankings, will also be sending individuals to participate."We are looking forward to getting to Augusta and playing our first stroke play event of the spring," said NIU head coach Tom Porten. "The format of this event is a little different, playing just 36 holes all in one day, but we are excited to get back on the course this weekend."NIU enters their second spring tournament coming off a fourth-place showing at the MAC Match Play last week in Florida. The Huskies won their first round match in a tie breaker over second-seeded Akron, but dropped their remaining matches to Bowling Green and Eastern Michigan. Senior Kurtis Luedtke (Aurora, Ill./West) led the team during the two-day event, compiling a 3-0 record to start his spring campaign. Luedtke's return to form was welcome to both him and the Huskies after playing three strokes over his career scoring average during the fall. The Aurora native will play out of the second slot on Coach Porten's lineup card this Saturday.Fellow Aurora product, senior Bryce Emory (Aurora, Ill./Marmion Academy), freshman Connor Nelson (Roscoe, Ill./Hononegah), and Paul Hammerschmidt (Westerville, Ohio/Westerville) will be making their spring debuts in Georgia. Emory will look to get back to his ways that led him to NIU's second-best scoring average last season. Nelson finished 42nd in his lone fall start at the Earl Yestingsmeier Iinvitatiaonl. Hammerschmidt begins his last spring season after piecing together a 77.6 scoring average over his two-and-a-half seasons as a Huskie.Redshirt senior Griffin Bauman (Crystal Lake, Ill./Central) and Shawn Foley (Pewaukee, Wis./Waukesha North) fill out Porten's lineup. Both fought to 1-2 records in the MAC Match Play.The field will be challenging the 1926 Donald Ross design that is Forest Hills Golf Club. Augusta State's home course has played host to golf greats from Bobby Jones to Phil Mickelson, with the latter winning there in 1989. The course will play to par 72 and 7,084 yards.

It Is My Holy Grail Product!I very fine hair. It is layered and above my shoulders. I have had a terrible time finding a volumizer that would not weigh my hair down or make it feel dirty. I have tried every mousse, gel and spray on the market. I was looking for a heat protectant when I came upon this. When I saw that it volumizes I thought it could not hurt to give it a try. I looked like I had my hair professionally done. The volume was amazing and my hair never looked so healthy. My hair never had such shine. The volume lasted the entire day and even felt and looked good the next morning. It is great to only have to use one product to get the style I want. It is a heat protectant, volumizer and refresher all in one. I could not be happier with this spray. I am so glad I found it.Aug 14, 2013JillHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Protects And Repairsive tried a few protectant sprays, this is by far the best that ive used and now that i found it i plan on stocking up. my hair is naturally oily at the roots, but i abuse it often. i color my hair every 5-6 weeks, and i heat style it just about every day. its so long that i noticed the ends become dry and frazzled. i love my hair and take a lot of pride in it so i had to find a fix. this definitely helps, i spray it on, brush it through, and style away. it makes my hair look and feel so much softer.Mar 1, 2013SamanthaHAIR TYPEBlack / Oily Hair / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair

Herbie Hancock (featuring John Mayer): Stitched Up
Stitched Up
Herbie Hancock (featuring John Mayer)
Possibilities (Hear Music / Hancock Music 70013)
Herbie Hancock (piano), John Mayer (vocals, guitar),
Michael Bearden (keyboards), Willie Weeks (bass), Steve Jordan (drums).
Composed by John Mayer and Herbie Hancock.
Recorded: Van Nuys, CA, no recording date given (CD released in 2005)
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
Sometimes these pop-star-meets-jazzcat dream dates go bad before the appetizers are on the table. But Mayer is not your typical pop star, and Hancock knows how to cross over without losing his balance. It helps that the song is hot, with an irresistible dance beat on the refrain. Hancock deserves a lot of credit for the groove, digging in with that acoustic funk sound he pioneered back in his Blue Note days, but the rest of the band is also in the pocket. Steve Jordan may be a rock-pop drummer, but he could teach jazz snobs how to lay down a beat. And Mayer sings with the white Motown soulfulness he pioneered on that crazy Continuum release -- yeah, you know, that disk that looked like ECM on the cover but sounded like Marvin Gaye when you popped in into the CD player. Hey guys, how about a second date?

Last night, the 12th season of American Idol kicked off in New York (and New Jersey; the cattle-call auditions were actually held at the Prudential Center, located across the Hudson in Newark). For those viewers who appreciate the dramatic arc of the season more than the chance to point and laugh at the vocally challenged, the first weeks of Idol can be a bit of a slog; the audition episodes can seem endless, thanks to them employing the same jokes, overwrought Ryan Seacrest narration, and Fox's attempt to goose ratings by scheduling these shows in every nook and cranny of its schedule. But something about last night's season opener felt a bit snappier than previous years. Perhaps it was the Mean Girls interplay between new judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey; maybe it was the New York setting, which brought not just subway-singing hopefuls, but guitar-toting Staten Islanders and a lot of people from Nicki's home borough of Queens. Or maybe it was a sign that the producers are actively trying to break the show, in hopes that it won't be seen as a fading star by the fickle American populace. In honor of this being the 12th season, here are a dozen observations about last night's parade of hopefuls.
RELATED: The 100 Most Memorable Moments From The First 11 Seasons of Idol
1. The producers love the Nicki-Mariah interplay so much, you could hear them rubbing their hands and thinking "Catfight!" This is obvious from the TMZ leaks, and the myriad interviews, and the way their arguments were peppered throughout the show, from the opening argument about Nicki's "accessories" on down. While I would love for Mimi to bring her dog along to one of the auditions just to make a point, I hope this doesn't turn into a mini-Kara-vs.-Bikini Girl thing on the regular.Evan Ruggiero.
2. The powers that be will do anything to prevent WGWGs—White Guys (and Girls) With Guitars—from getting too far in the competition. Two back-to-back auditions with solid backstories—the charming Evan Ruggiero, who lost a leg to bone cancer, and Taylor Swift lookalike Jessica Kartalis, who made the Idol cut after her mom submitted a YouTube testimonial—were given the heave-ho after being told they weren't right for the competition. True, Ruggiero's performance of "I'm Yours" had some oddly enunciated Rs, and Kartalis botched her audition when Randy at the last minute asked her to incorporate her guitar, but it seems like the inclusion of those two rejections, as well as the overwhelming number of people who made it through while leaning away from the singer-songwriter spectrum (particularly the pass-through of the utterly charming Frankie Ford, a subway singer who also had to engage in a do-over), sent a message: No matter how compelling a person's story might be, a guitar for now will be seen as a reason for a demerit.
3. Randy Jackson might finally be taking his charge as "senior judge" seriously. Nicki said the most last night, but the most withering of the judges was Randy, who dispensed with the mealy-mouthed "dawg"s and straight-up told contestants when he didn't like what he was seeing. Will he continue his tough-guy schtick when the live shows start? Based on past seasons, probably not, but it's always nice to hope.
4. Keith Urban is pretty charming! Although his status as Idol's first judge from the country-music world might be a bit moot, given the clear bias against guitars.Jessica Kartalis.
5. "British Nicki" could be a decent replacement for Simon Cowell. Her cutting remarks were even more so when she talked as if she were from old Blighty—even though she apparently learned how to do so from watching old videos of Scary Spice. Girl power!
6. Then again, so could regular Mariah. Cowell's old canard that Idol was a "singing competition" was never, of course, entirely true—just ask any of the melisma-crafting female singers who were passed over for guys with plainer technique. But that didn't stop Mariah from busting it out as a reason for downvoting a contestant, and her comments about other hopefuls made it clear that she takes the "good voice" charge extremely seriously.

Missing his deep fat fried cinnamon doughnuts, an Exeter New Hampshire man took matters into his hands. On moving here, he spent weeks sleuthing the streets and alleys looking for a bakery that would fulfill his needs. Make no mistake, these are Needs. The answers were all the same: too much trouble, too messy, too demanding. Result? No fried cinnamon doughnuts in Exeter, NH. (Don't suggest Dunkin - they're not fried, greasy, crunchy fattening.)
So what's a distraught ninety-year old man to do? Improvise! First, buy a deep fat fryer. Walmart had them on sale. 'Good, look at the money we've saved.' Next, he needed one of those doughnut cutters - the round one with the inner circle for the doughnut holes. Ace Hardware (Arjay's on Lincoln Street in Exeter) could order one for him. Oh, boy! We're really moving along here.
Recipes? To use Fannie Farmer's Boston School of Cooking Cook Book (1945 version) or Joy Of Cooking (1952 edition) was the tough choice. The Joy (affectionately referred to in those days as the J of C) won out. The first batch a la Fannie was dismal: fat too cool, soaked up by dough, rock solid by dawn. Second batch by Joy had a chance except for a minor flaw. Batch one taught the chef, by trial and error, to assemble all the pre-measured ingredients, set them out alongside the tools, and turn off the cell phone.
The cook (no longer 'chef') had it all laid out: flour, milk, eggs, salad oil, nutmeg, baking soda. The mixture seemed awfully stiff, so he added a little milk. Now, pliable, it was spread on the wax paper-covered counter and cut with the flour-dipped cutter, then dropped into the 375 degree fat. Oh, Joy! The bubbles, the sizzling! The blob rose to the top, floated around for 2 1/2 minutes, was flipped, spent the same time on the other side, then removed to a mat of Bounty towels. When warm enough to touch, it was dropped into a paper lunch bag filled with a sugar and cinnamon mix, precision not necessary here.
What kind of rock is this? Or is it a hockey puck? Door stop? Just then, cook looked over at the microwave oven and saw, sitting atop it, an untouched cup of milk. The same milk that missed being added to the dough. 'Well, next time that won't happen,' said the ever-optimistic nonogenarian.
Most recent try, a few short hours ago, produced a pretty good replica of the great cinnamon doughnuts cook had loved in Burlington Vermont (Price Choppers,) Santa Fe, New Mexico (Kip's,) and Duck Donuts in Duck, North Carolina's Outer Banks, plus a local bakery in Underhill Vermont, whose name he can't remember (along with other stuff.)
'A picture is worth...' so without further ado, please go to the Slideshow and see for yourself why it might be necessary to make a trip to Burlington. The third and final batch so far, looks normal except for the odd shapes, and is actually quite tasty. The old guy might have something here! And I love him, regardless!
Recipe used but not necessarily followed in this instance: from The Joy of Cooking by Rombauer and Becker, Published by Bobbs Merrill, 1946 edition. These are the ingredients only, not what to do with them.
4 cups sifted all purpose flour; 1 cup sugar; 2 eggs; 1 cup milk; 5 tsp melted shortening; 1/2 t. cinnamon; 1/2 t salt;1/4 t nutmeg; 4 tsp double acting baking powder; Mix, then cool before shaping

I find myself in New York for a few days. (Sorry for the gap in blogging this week!) The blurry picture summarizes one of my favourite things to immerse myself in when in the city. A great upstairs bar on the corner of 2nd street and avenue A, and a great band of young jazz players that gives one hope that the art is not dead.
My main business was earlier today, at a studio in Brooklyn, shooting some promo material for the new big documentary show on the History Channel (probably on H2) that will air later this Fall. I'm not sure if it is out there what the new show is so I will hold off until I know what I can tell you. Needless to say it involvs science, and I think it mixes science and other topics together in a nice way that makes for a nice concept for a show. More later, I hope. Here's a shot with me in the middle of the setup*! Charmingly made up to give he impression of a star field, perhaps, when viewed through the A and B cameras:
It was fun working with this crew. They were real professionals running a tight ship. I wish the promo pieces well.
*Thanks Mariel!
