A Galilean Breakfast
"Jesus said, "Bring some of the fish you've just caught." "
The rest of them replied, "We're going with you." They went out and got in the boat. They caught nothing that night.
They answered, "No."
They did what he said. All of a sudden there were so many fish in it, they weren't strong enough to pull it in.
John 21:1–14, The Message
In the ancient world, eating meat was such a rarity for most people that vegetarianism was essentially the major lifestyle—a lifestyle of necessity, not of choice. People of wealth would have been able to afford to eat meat, perhaps on a regular basis; for the rest, however, religious festivals or special occasions of hospitality may have provided the rare opportunity to add meat to the diet.
Fish, when available, did provide an important supplement to the diet of ancient peoples, so important, in fact, that Jerusalem had a marketplace called the Fish Gate (II Chronicles 33:14, Nehemiah 3:3; 12:39, and Zephaniah 1:10). Jewish dietary laws divided fish into clean and unclean food for consumption: those fish with scales and fins (that is, most fish) were considered clean (though eels were excluded, and shellfish were certainly prohibited [see Leviticus 11]). Fish, whether small or large, were consumed fresh or dried, salted or pickled, raw or cooked. The smallest fishes were thought to be particularly healthful, though the Jews seemed to have avoided young fish (other cultures did not). Often enough, fish were allowed to begin decomposing before being prepared for the table so as to achieve a distinctive taste. The eating of fish was also recommended during pregnancy. Fish brine was used as a seasoning, fish oil as a fuel, and fish skins as a writing surface; fish bones were fashioned into writing implements, hooks, needles, and hair ornaments.
The Jewish people employed several different methods of catching fish. First was the dragnet, which was thrown over the side of a boat and allowed to sink to the bottom, trapping the fish as the boat pulled the net through the water. Second were smaller nets and wicker baskets cast from a boat or from shore. Third were hook and line, thrown from the shore or from a boat. Harpoons (spears) were sometimes used, though probably less frequently than other methods of fishing.
The scriptures (particularly the New Testament) refer frequently to fishing—an indication of how important fishing was to the people of the 1st century. Many of Jesus' disciples made their living by fishing in the Sea of Galilee. In fact, Simon (Peter), Andrew, James, John, and other disciples who were fishermen must have been relatively well to do, for the scriptures seem to indicate that they were able to leave their boats and nets for long periods in order to follow after Jesus during his years of public ministry. Because the Sea of Galilee lies on the Via Maris, the ancient, heavily traveled trade road linking Egypt to the north and east, Galilean fishermen were readily able to trade their catches to traveling merchants, who would either consume the fish or pack them up for sale later. Perhaps it seems odd that Jesus, who was said to be a carpenter, would rely on fishermen to help spread his teachings, but he promised that they would be able to put their skills to good use, making them "fish for people" (Matthew 4:19 and Mark 1:17)—a phrase that has a double meaning, for they would proceed both to gather people and to "feed" those who hungered for the spiritual message they sought to impart.
To people living in the Western world, the concept of fish for breakfast might seem a bit unusual. Other than lox or perhaps a whitefish spread, or maybe a nice piece of salmon on a fresh bagel, fish is not usual morning menu fare. The current interest in sushi for almost any meal among many baby boomers notwithstanding, fish has traditionally been relegated in Western cultures to tuna fish salad for lunch, or fish sticks, fish and chips, or the likes of salmon steaks for dinner.
There does not seem to be any tradition, biblical or otherwise, that supports fish as a typical breakfast meal among the people of Jesus' day. The "anything" of verse 5 (in Greek, prosfagion) is an unusual word; it is used to describe a side dish to be eaten with bread, and in some contexts was the equivalent of meat or fish. That Jesus was preparing fish for the disciples to eat is probably more symbolic in nature than menu-related. (Fish was a symbol for early Christians, as the letters in the Greek word ichthus form an acrostic consisting of the first letters of an early confession of faith: Jesus Christ, the Son of God.) Yet taking the biblical passage at face value, this is what we know: the disciples were out fishing following the death and resurrection of Jesus when they spotted him on the nearby beach preparing a meal over a fire. As they returned to shore, he fed them with fish and bread, and it was by these actions that they were assured of who he was.
The meal took place at the Sea of Galilee, a large lake-like body of water that runs six miles wide and twelve miles long. It is fed by springs from three countries: Lebanon, Israel, and Syria, and today it provides nearly one-fourth of Israel's fresh-water supply. Israelis now refer to the Sea of Galilee as Yam Kinneret (the Gospel of John calls it the Sea of Tiberias, while the Gospel of Luke speaks of Lake Gennesaret). To this day, the Sea of Galilee supports a thriving fishing industry.

In this gospel account, the preparation of the fish by grilling, though seemingly primitive and foolproof, was actually neither. There was a technique involved that required some forethought and preparation. Perhaps Jesus knew of the tradition common among fishermen of cooking by masguf (roofing), a process whereby a fire is lit and the fish are hung on large sticks in an upright position at the edge of the flame, allowing them to roast slowly and without fear of burning. The result is a tender, tasty smoked fish; every part of the fish is used and consumed, head to tail. Or, as the biblical verse blandly reports, perhaps the fish were simply laid flat and cooked on a bed of coals.
The Sea of Galilee has had a reputation for good fishing since ancient times. What type of fish would Jesus and his disciples have eaten at daybreak on its shore? There are currently about eighteen different species that are known to inhabit the lake. Three of these types of fish were known in Jesus' day and sought after by fishermen: sardines, barbels, and musht. Sardines are endemic to the lake and are most likely the small fish mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew that Jesus used for the feeding of the five thousand. Today, when fishermen cast their nets at night in the Sea of Galilee during the height of the fishing season, tens of thousands of sardines are hauled in by morning. It is well known that these small fish, along with bread, were a staple among the local villagers of Galilee in the 1st century. Barbels are so called because of the barbs located at the corners of their mouths. They were very popular at feasts and for the Sabbath meals. Musht (comb) is more popularly known as "St. Peter's Fish." It has a long dorsal fin that looks like a comb and can grow to be 1½ feet long and weigh as much as 3½ pounds. During the winter, these tropical fish gather in the deeper shoals at the northern edge of the lake where there are warmer waters, created from the runoff of the springs from the hills of nearby Eremos. The congregation of large schools of musht allows for great fishing and nets filled to bursting. Perhaps it was here that Jesus, having spotted a multitude of fish, instructed Peter to cast his net, which allowed for the seemingly "miraculous' catch.

Sheriff's office: 'High probability' body found on Mt. Hood is missing climber
MOUNT HOOD, Ore. - Searchers are trying to reach a body on Mount Hood spotted by a helicopter crew on Saturday during their search for a missing climber.
Sgt. Robert Wurpes with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said searchers have not been able to get close enough to the body to confirm the identity, but "there is a high probability it is Dr. Kinley Adams."
The body was spotted at about 8,400 feet near the top of the Sandy Glacier by searchers in a National Guard Blackhawk helicopter at around 1:30 p.m.
There were no signs of life, Wurpes said.
"The area in which the body was located is on very difficult and technical terrain. Due to the extreme risk teams will not be able to get to the area today. As the day gets warmer, risks of rock and snow slide increase," said Wurpes.
A recovery effort was planned for early Sunday morning. Nearly 30 people will help with the recovery, starting at 4 a.m.
Searchers estimate it will take four hours to reach the body and another one or two hours to determine the best way to bring it off the mountain.
The body is located in the area of the route Adams planned to take up the mountain. Sgt. Sean Collinson with Clackamas County Search and Rescue said he believes melting snow helped reveal the body on Saturday.
Adams' family members said they believe Adams is now in heaven. They thanked everyone involved with the search.
"This is a very disappointing end to a difficult week. We do genuinely wish it had ended differently," said Adams' brother-in-law Mark Goetz, who spoke for the family.
"We're left with wrestling with hard things, and we will. And we know that Christ will go with us on this path," he said. "We are not alone."
The 59-year-old Salem dentist indicated he would take the Leuthold Couloir route to the summit, but he didn't return from his climb last Saturday.
On Friday, search and rescue crews spotted two possible clues - an abandoned rope and a picket, or a climbing anchor. The National Guard said crew members aboard a Chinook helicopter spotted the items near Sandy Headwall, an area near the route Adams had planned to take.
Adams is an experienced climber who had been making frequent trips to Mount Hood in preparation for a trip to Nepal. He is thought to have a cellphone, but searchers have been unable to pinpoint the signal. His mountain locator beacon was found at home, apparently with gear he was planning to take to Nepal.
Extreme fog and otherwise inclement conditions made the search almost impossible for the first several days after Adams missed his scheduled return time of 3 p.m. last Saturday.
The weather finally broke on Thursday, allowing helicopters and crews to conduct a much more thorough search.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Students weigh in on new Ole Miss mascot
"I think the new Black Bear mascot is hilarious. It might have been the best option for Ole Miss considering the other choices, but that doesn't mean it is a good fit for the school.
"Add in the fact that we're ranked for the first time in nine years and they lost to Jacksonville State and it becomes even better. Hotty Teddy."
Patrick Pierce
"Every idea was completely terrible, but anything that makes everyone point and laugh at TSUN is good with me. I think that those people up there are a little confused."
Chip Donald
"Knowing just how dear Colonel Rebel is to those Hotty Toddy hearts, the bear is going to be a difficult campaign to kick off. The Admiral Ackbar mascot commercial got Ole Miss more ESPN time than they've seen in years! Maybe they should have stuck with that plan."
Brooke Paris
"I think the new Black Bear mascot is hilarious, but I was really pulling for Colonel Akbar.
"I think the Ole Miss students treated the whole thing as a joke, and they created a good laugh. I just think the laughs will die down when they realize other colleges are laughing at them and not with them."
Josh Brock
"My initial response was laughter and then confusion as to why that was chosen, but then I thought about it and it's the perfect fit considering their record so far....the black bears apparently decided to go into hibernation early this year."
Alison Moak
"The entire situation is humorous in itself! No matter the reasoning behind it MSU fans can add this to the list of making jokes against Ole Miss. Hotty Teddy!"
Jessica Reed
"I think that the new Ole Miss mascot was the best for the choices they had. I think it can relate to the cowbell here at Miss. State. Colonel Reb will always be apart of Ole Miss football, just as cowbells will forever be apart of Miss. State football.
"Freshman friends from Ole Miss say, 'I feel like we've lost a huge part of our schools tradition." I can't imagine what Miss. State would be like if we up and changed our mascot.
"The Bulldog represents our University just as Colonel Reb is does for Ole Miss. At the same time I can't relate to how the mascot was offensive, but if I were at a University where the mascot was offensive to me personaly I would hope they would look into changing it. "

Michael Frede (born in 1961), who grew up in Stade, near Hamburg (Germany), is a qualified computer scientist. He has been working as a freelance nature and landscape photographer for 15 years, and also organizes photography excursions and workshops.
Over the last 10 years, Michael Frede has focused most of his activity on the rough terrain of Swedish Lapland. His projects include making advertising films for fly-fishing adventure providers, and photographing unspoilt scenery for clients and self-marketing purposes.
Each of his photographic works begins with the "arrival", absorbing the scenery, finding natural lines and utilizing the fall of light on the terrain. Many details of his pictures only become apparent after they have been viewed several times. Observers are constantly discovering new things in his works.
Michael Frede has also been organizing photography excursions and workshops for his company "Fotoabenteuer.de", founded in 2005; these focus on landscape photography and all kinds of creative techniques. The preferred locations range from Swedish Lapland to southern Italy and the coastal regions of Germany where Michael Frede expounds his contemplative style of photography.
Michael Frede also gives expert talks and photo workshops at various national events and photography trade fairs.
As a landscape photographer, I often find myself in rough terrain in temperatures that might be anything from minus 35 to plus 45 degrees. The Fujifilm X-System is a compact, high-quality system that withstands all weathers and meets all photographic requirements. This naturally also applies to the Fujinon lenses that I have come to know and love.
Since adding the Fujifilm X-System to my collection, I can now take photos of situations such as vehicles or husky sleds in motion, something I wasn't able to do before with my medium format equipment because of its weight and speed.
I love the Fujifilm X-T1 control system with its dials for the most important functions; I can even use them when wearing thick gloves in temperatures of minus 35 degrees. The dustproof and waterproof metal housing is also very forgiving if the camera is occasionally submitted to rough treatment.

The Generals went 0-4 in those games, losing by an average score of 13.2-6.5.
The Spartans went 3-3 against the four common opponents as they were 2-0 against Mary Washington, 1-0 against Catholic, 0-1 against Franklin & Marshall, and 0-2 against second-ranked Salisbury University.

COPENHAGEN/STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - SAS (SAS.ST) has won union backing for big cost cuts, in a deal intended to secure new financing and the Scandinavian airline's long-term survival as it fights low-cost competitors.
SAS, half owned by the governments of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, said on Monday eight unions had agreed wage cuts and changes to working schedules and pensions.
Its shares closed up 23 percent at 6.90 Swedish crowns.
Talk that SAS faced bankruptcy if the talks failed hit its stock last week after it said it wanted to cut overall staffing about 40 percent to 9,000 by shedding assets, reduce the workforce by a further 800 with job losses and trim salaries up to 17 percent to get financing.
Fears of a possible bankruptcy were heightened on Sunday when SAS told crews to ensure airplanes were fully fuelled so as to be able to return home if needed. The airline also gave cash to flying staff to make sure they could get hotel rooms.
"We now have a plan for long-term profitability. We have built a strong base," chief executive Rickard Gustafson said on Monday. "These were very big sacrifices ... from the unions."
While unions have agreed the cuts, analysts questioned whether SAS can survive on its own in the long term against stiff competition from regional rival Norwegian Air Shuttle (NWC.OL) and Ryanair (RYA.I), both of which have lower costs.
"Although they are lowering their costs by 3 billion crowns, they will still be a high-cost company," Arctic Securities analyst Kenneth Sivertsen said. "I think they will be taken over. As a stand-alone company they will be squeezed between low-cost airlines and the huge flight carriers, such as Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) and Air France (AIRF.PA)."
Board member Jacob Wallenberg told a news conference SAS would now be able to stay in business long term, whether on a stand-alone basis or in another shape. "Today we have created conditions to make it on our own. There may be a number of other strategic alternatives going forward."
Chairman Fritz Schur said a merger would be good for SAS.
One union, the Danish Pilots Union, still has to hold a ballot of members in which one third have to agree to the cost-cutting deal. An SAS spokeswoman said it viewed that vote as a technicality which would not prevent the deal going ahead.
SAS needed to get agreement from all eight unions as a condition of a 3.5 billion Swedish crown ($515 million) loan from its shareholder governments and seven banks.
Sweden's finance ministry said on Monday the governments would take part in the credit facility, which is also backed by a foundation run by the Swedish Wallenberg business family, a core SAS shareholder.
Parliamentary approval will be required for the governments to make the loan, said SAS whose stock has lost 69 percent of its value since 2011 to be worth less than 2 billion crowns.
Espen Pettersen, deputy leader of the main Norwegian cabin union, said: "We have made big concessions in this agreement. We are not very happy, but we felt we had no other choice but to sign to secure the jobs and the company".
SAS aims to cut annual costs by about 3 billion crowns. In January-September it had combined payroll and other operating costs of about 30 billion crowns. Asset sales would strengthen the balance sheet by another by 3 billion crowns.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Los Angeles judge on Friday ordered a UCLA chemistry professor to stand trial on charges stemming from a 2008 fire in his university lab that fatally burned a 23-year-old research assistant, rejecting a defense request to dismiss the case.
Patrick Harran faces up to 4 1/2 years in prison if he is convicted of all three counts of violating occupational health and safety standards in his organic chemistry laboratory at the University of California, Los Angeles.
The 43-year-old professor, who is free on his own recognizance, was ordered back to court on May 9 for an arraignment. A trial date will likely also be set at the hearing, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said.
The charges against Harran stem from a December 29, 2008, fire at his lab that left staff research associate Sheharbano "Sheri" Sangji, a native of Pakistan, with burns over nearly half of her body. She died of her injuries 18 days later after being removed from life support.
Prosecutors say the fire broke out when Sangji, a recent college graduate who had only been working in the lab for some 2 1/2 months, was performing an experiment with tert-Butyllithium, a pyrophoric chemical, meaning that it spontaneously ignites when exposed to air.
Sangji had been attempting to transfer a tiny quantity of the tert-Butyllithium when the syringe she was using came apart, spilling the chemical and immediately catching her polyester sweater on fire. She was unsupervised and not wearing a flame-retardant lab coat at the time.
Prosecutors accuse Harran, an award-winning chemist, of failing to properly train the young research associate in handling such dangerous substances and say he did not require the use of protective equipment, including lab coats.
In a 2009 statement to the Los Angeles Times, Harran called Sangji an "experienced chemist" who had previous experience handling pyrophoric substances.
"However, it seems evident, based on mistakes investigators tell us were made that day, I underestimated her understanding of the care necessary when working with such materials," Harran said in the statement.
Following a preliminary hearing in the case over several days last fall, lawyers for Harran asked that the charges be dismissed or reduced from felonies to misdemeanors, arguing in part that Sangji's death was a tragic accident and not a crime.
But Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lisa Lench, during a hearing in the case on Friday, disagreed, saying there was sufficient evidence to put Harran on trial.
The University of California regents were charged along with Harran in 2011, but that case was later dismissed after officials there agreed to adopt a list of safety measures and establish a $500,000 scholarship in the Sangji's name.

"Down by the sea near the great big rock, they made their camp and toasted marshmallows over a small, fine fire. The night was pleasantly chill and the sea spray cold. Laughing, talking, eating the gooey marshmallows, they had one swell time; just them, the sand, the sea and the sky, and the great big rock. "

"The pain of pushing the larva through the very flesh of my transgression should be punishment enough. But mating was the Queen's privilege, not the bait's, and she'd ensure I'd rather die than overstep again. She called the lair witness, lest my lesson bear repeating. I squatted and bore down, slave to more primeval powers. My lair sisters ringed the cavern, tall and smug, every stiff spine saying they knew better. I'd known better."

Media ownership in the 21st century is a trickier concept than ever before. In light of the growing percentage of our books, music, movies, and software that is purely digital, that is to say, downloaded directly from the Internet, how is ownership defined? When music came on CDs and other physical formats, it was pretty easy to say, "This is my CD. I bought it. I do with it as I please." Of course, the recording industry would disagree, to the extent that while you might have purchased the medium, you only licensed the media. Now that the medium is largely ephemeral, so too is ownership. Add onto that digital rights management (DRM) that locks down and controls what you do with your "licensed" goods and ownership becomes a ghost of its former self. But do we really care?

It is a phenomenon that has been common for years on the British Columbia side of the Taku River. But the jökulhlaup is set to become a Mendenhall Valley mainstay, if experts' expectations hold true.
Suicide Basin has now filled and emptied for two years in a row, raising water levels on Mendenhall River and Mendenhall Lake. Though homes escaped unscathed last week as water crested well below the flood stage, last July saw minor to moderate flooding across parts of the Mendenhall Valley and forced the closure of the Mendenhall Lake Campground.
Eran Hood, associate professor of environmental science at the University of Alaska Southeast, said it is no fluke that this previously unusual event has now happened in two consecutive summers.
"There's pretty good reason to believe that every single year, that basin's going to fill up," Hood said.
"Jökulhlaup" is the Icelandic term for the drainage event, also known as a "glacier dammed outburst flood." It occurs when water fills up a glacial or subglacial lake basin to the point where the ice dam holding it back is forced aside.
National Weather Service hydrologist Aaron Jacobs said glacial retreat means Suicide Basin is no longer being filled with ice. When the basin fills, it now fills with liquid water, which eventually builds to the point where it can no longer be contained. In these drainage events, the water lifts up the Mendenhall Glacier in order to flow into the lake below.
The Suicide Basin jökulhlaup last week poured water into Mendenhall Lake from beneath the ice. Last July, it caused a dramatic gush of liquid water from the glacier's flank into the lake.
"The movement of the glacier itself … changes its drainage path," Jacobs explained.
In northwestern British Columbia, jökulhlaups from Tulsequah Lake and Lake No Lake have occurred for years. Those discharges often cause the Taku River, which flows into Stephens Passage on the Juneau side of the border, to swell and occasionally overspill its banks.
"Geographically, it's almost the same kind of side basin off of the main (glacier)," said Jacobs, comparing Lake No Lake to Suicide Basin. "From looking at the correlation between the geography of where this is situated relative to the Mendenhall Glacier as pretty much identical to what Lake No Lake is in reference to Tulsequah Glacier, there's a high probability that (the Suicide Basin jökulhlaup) will happen at least once a year."
Now that the Suicide Basin jökulhlaup is an established phenomenon, Hood said university researchers are planning to install equipment to keep closer tabs on the basin — perhaps as early as this week.
"What we want to do is we want to put in a lake-level sensor (at Suicide Basin) as a pressure sensor, so that will show us the lake filling up, and also we'll know exactly when the lake starts to drain," Hood said. A fixed camera to take time-lapse photographs is also planned, he said. "That will be able to show us the thing bulging up and filling up," he explained.
Jacobs said the equipment would help "better forecast the peaks," as well as monitor when the basin fills up, when it begins to drain and how much water it is releasing into the lake.
"It's going to be very important for us to have this," Jacobs said.
Those monitors will not be able to determine how much ice is in the basin, Hood said, but another tool might work.
"In theory, we could take a radar up there and try to measure the ice thickness," said Hood. "I'm not sure when or if we're going to be able to pull off getting a radar up there, but it's something at least that we've talked about."

SEATTLE — For 20 years Kaetlin Barrett of Anacortes has suffered from debilitating epilepsy. At age 3 she began experiencing incredibly painful seizures about five times a day which she describes as "a thousand needles stabbing my brain" or "hammers pounding my head." Over the years, Barrett was held back in school, alienated by her peers and had to quit playing sports.
"My confidence was really affected," Barrett said. "I was always judged and people called me a freak. I'd pray every night for some miracle."
That miracle occurred when Barrett was 18 years old and learned about a new therapy being tested at Swedish Medical Center: the NeuroPace RNS System. A device was being implanted in patients' brains to predict when they were going to have a seizure and stop it from happening.
Now, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration has approved the device so it might offer hope where other treatments have failed.
California-based NeuroPace began testing this new therapy in 2004 in epilepsy centers throughout the United States, including the Swedish Neuroscience Institution in Seattle. Today, Swedish is the only center in the Pacific Northwest approved to implant the device.
The NeuroPace RNS System is surgically placed in the brain to continuously monitor activity. When it detects abnormal brain activity, it responds by delivering electrical stimulation to normalize activity before the patient experiences a seizure.
Dr. Ryder Gwinn, medical director of the Swedish Neurosciences Institute Center for Neuromodulation and Functional Restoration, calls the new therapy "a big step forward." He said the device has provided some of his most difficult patients with a new treatment option.
While there are more than 20 medications available to treat epilepsy, some patients cannot find any that will effectively control seizures, Gwinn said. The next step is often surgery, in which doctors identify which part of the brain is causing the seizure and remove it. This can lead to serious impairments in some cases and is not a viable option for all patients, he said.
Some epileptic patients are treated with a Vagus Nerve Stimulator, which attempts to controls seizures by sending out scheduled intervals of deep brain stimulation. Since it was approved in 1997, the device has decreased seizures in some patients but does not eliminate them entirely, Gwinn said.
The NeuroPace RNS System is different because the device includes electrodes that record brain activity, so it only stimulates the brain when a seizure is about to occur. Gwinn compared it to a heart defibrillator, which detects abnormal rhythms and shocks the heart to prevent cardiac arrest.
"It's so much more elegant than what we've done to treat the brain in the past," Gwinn said. "It's better to treat with intermittent treatment rather than stimulating the brain all the time. It's not constantly interrupting normal activity."
Not only that, the NeuroPace device improves over time, Gwinn said. The more brain activity it records the better doctors can program it to detect a patient's specific seizure patterns.
"Every patient has their own electric signal for a seizure," Gwinn said. "We build the therapy around that patient's signature fingerprint. We're basically implanting a tool box."
The NeuroPace device will also allow the medical community to learn more about epilepsy too by recording brain activity on an ongoing basis.
"It's a window into brain activity that we've never had before in human existence," Gwinn said. "Not only are we helping people now but we're collecting a huge amount of information on how we can treat epilepsy in the future."
Gwinn said none of his patients have experienced serious side effects from the RNS System, and some have even reported improved mood and memory.
Barrett had tried seven different medications and two surgeries before she asked to join the NeuroPace trial in 2008.
"I was really hopeful," Barrett said. "I just wanted the seizures to stop. I wanted something to be done so i could be normal."
Since having the device implanted, Barrett's seizures have gone from averaging five-a-day to three per month. When the seizures do occur, she said they are less intense. At one time, Barrett went four months without a seizure.
Now 23, Barrett said she is much more confident and social. She's currently in college and says it is easier to keep up with her schoolwork when she's not "blacking out" during lectures. Barrett has even participated in sports like volleyball and soccer.
"It has been life changing," Barrett said. "I couldn't be happier. I have a lot more hope now. If it had kept going the way it was I don't know if I would be here."

Katie's Take
A positive pregnancy test will change the lives of expecting parents forever, and the journey can seem overwhelming. Pregnant women can be bombarded with advice and are given endless options for resources on maternity dos and don'ts. To help us navigate the prenatal voyage, Katie talked with Alison Bernstein, editor of TheBump.com.
The first misconception that Bernstein pointed out is the idea of "eating for two." When women take in too many calories and gain more than the healthy 25-35 pounds, they put themselves at risk of cesarean section delivery or premature birth. Pregnant women actually only need an extra 300 calories per day, and even fewer during their first trimester. That's about the number of calories found in turkey sandwich. Instead of indulging in cravings and extra meals, expectant mothers should incorporate smart snacks like fruit with yogurt, or whole-wheat toast, to boost their caloric intake. Bernstein recommends six to seven small meals every two to three hours, which keeps blood sugar at a constant range, as the healthiest option for the woman and her baby.
It's not all about how much you consume, but also what you consume that is important. Raw fish and alcohol are two big no no's. Raw fish puts the body at risk of being exposed to unhealthy bacteria, and alcohol can heighten the risk of birth defects. One thing that a lot of women struggle to give up is caffeine. Women should only consume about 200 milligrams of caffeine a day, the equivalent of one 12 ounce cup of coffee. It's important to not overlook other ways in which caffeine may sneak into your body: chocolate and tea, as well as cold and allergy medicines, often contain caffeine.
While keeping your body healthy is vital in a successful pregnancy, planning for your child's future is just as important. According to Bernstein, the most overlooked area for expectant parents is finances. She advises that everyone make a baby budget. Make a plan for the immediate supplies like clothes, food and diapers, but also plan for the long term. Having a good health insurance and savings plan in place will help alleviate stress once that baby arrives, and will allow parents to focus on their new addition.
Despite the sea of information available to new parents, Bernstein also says to not overlook those closest to you. Reach out to other moms in your community for support, because nobody knows what you are going through like they do. But her biggest piece of advice: take a moment to enjoy your pregnancy.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The person who will fill a vacant state Senate seat on the Eastern Shore will likely be chosen by Maryland's governor because votes for a replacement are split.
The Star Democrat of Easton reports that the four committees able to vote on a successor for Sen. E.J. Pipkin have split their vote. The Republican resigned Aug. 12 to move to Texas.
Pipkin's former legislative district includes Caroline, Cecil, Kent and Queen Anne's counties. The Republican Central Committee from each county gets to submit a name to Gov. Martin O'Malley to formally make the appointment.
But the paper reports that two of the committee votes went to Del. Steve Hershey. Two others went to Del. Michael Smigiel. As a result, O'Malley gets to decide who gets the seat.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS (AP) This is a tale of two saloons, both with storied historical identities in the towns they serve, and both of which have been resurrected, in a sense, by new ownership.
The towns, Carbondale and New Castle, are not very similar to one another, and the saloons each have their distinctive feel and decor.
But looking beyond the details and the decorations, one can tell that the similarities are deeper than the differences.
The new owners of the Black Nugget Saloon in Carbondale have returned the venerable institution to its roots, reviving the bars focus on the coal-mining culture that once was the predominant economic engine for the Crystal River Valley.
Its going to be, like, a bar-museum for the miners, said Czech native Dasha Balasova. She and her husband, Vit Blanar, both of Avon, are the new proprietors of the bar.
For close to half a century, according to old-timers in town, The Black Nugget has occupied the southeast corner of the historic Dinkel Building, offering everything from a quick fist-fight with a drunken coal miner or cowboy, to live music and a dance hall atmosphere, or a chance to sip at an exceptional, micro-brewed local beer, depending on the year.
It has been through multiple ownerships and styles over the years, as well as several name changes. Regardless of who owned it or who ran it, it was always viewed as home to the rougher element in Carbondale.
At one point in 2002, the Nugget was deemed such a troublesome establishment that the police advocated withdrawal of its liquor license.
But the bars fans pushed back, as evidenced by a Feb. 15, 2002, letter from resident Valerie Harriman, who noted the bar has a long and colorful history here and is somewhat of a legend.
If the bar were to be shuttered, she continued, You will rip out a part of the heart and fabric of our town. The license was not pulled.
Today, the Nugget is owned by Vit Holdings Inc., the corporate identity of Balasova and Blanar, and managed by Balasovas son, Hans Balas, 24, who lives in Carbondale.
The bar features an array of coal-mining memorabilia on the walls, along with two wooden arches displaying the names of miners killed in the Coal Basin mines of Mid-Continent Resources, in accidents in 1965 and 1981.
I wanted to have it nice, in the memory of the miners, said Balasova, explaining that coal mining is a big part of the Czech Republics economy, just as it once was here.
After buying the business in July, Balasova spent several months working behind the bar and remodeling the entire place to open it up from front to back.
Balasova held her grand opening party Nov. 17, and recalled, More than 200 people came, I couldnt fit everybody inside. And we didnt do any advertising, just word of mouth. Thats the way Carbondale works.
Knife and gun club
Historical identity has played an important part in the revitalization of the old Silver Club Saloon in New Castle, according to owner Seth Graby.
First opened as a saloon in 1894, it was called Schneiders and Sesslers Saloon, after the two entrepreneurs who got the business started. Graby said he has always been a history buff.
The name was changed to the Silver Club Saloon three years later and stayed that way until about 20 years ago, when it was changed to The Canyon Club.
Through the years, the bar got a name as a rough place, according to Graby, who said people knew it as a knife and gun club where violence frequently flared.
But now, Graby said, the historic name is back on the window where it first appeared in 1897, and his plans are to relegate the clubs bad reputation to history.
Graby said he is still learning about the history of New Castle, and has discovered that the original owners of the saloon also owned several other businesses in town.
The reaction from locals has been positive, he said.
I think people are really glad to have it back.
Graby, 30, is a veteran of three tours of duty in Iraq for the U.S. Army.
He and his wife, Amber, have lived in Parachute for the past 5½ years. They moved to Colorado from their native state of Kansas when she got a job as a physical therapist at Grand River Hospital in Rifle.
He studied sociology and history at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, on the GI Bill, before deciding to look for other opportunities.
His interest in sociology and history, Graby said, is why Im in the bar business now.
I get interested in people of all different types, he explained, and being a bartender seemed a perfect way to exercise that interest.
Graby was searching online for a business opportunity and last October discovered that the old Canyon Club was up for sale.
Learning about the history behind the place satisfied his love of things historical, so he bought the business and the property for a price he declined to name, using a loan from the U.S. Small Business Administration to swing the deal.
It just seemed like the only thing to do, he said.
He refinished the oak flooring of the place, and replaced the ceiling with a drop-frame, faux-hammered tin ceiling.
For furniture, he went to Habitat For Humanitys ReStore outlet in Glenwood Springs and snapped up wooden tables and chairs that once graced the Hotel Jerome in Aspen.
He left the log walls of the building alone, along with wainscoting covering the lower logs and a stage at the back for live music. He built some new bar shelving, painted black, to supplement the small, historic back bar that was already in place.
Thats supposed to be original, he remarked, gesturing toward the small, natural wood back bar.
Graby has quit school to run the bar, along with his cousin, Daniel Madill, 28, and he said he and Amber are planning to move closer to the Rifle and New Castle area.

Marseille's Stade Velodrome has hosted six FIFA World Cup ™ matches in all, including two semi-finals 60 years apart (1938 and 1998). And the wildly exuberant fans that flock to the stadium every Sunday reflect the wide diversity of the population of this famous Mediterranean port. The 60,000-capacity Velodrome is nothing short of a football temple, where the fanatical Marseille crowd, including a French record 40,000 season-ticket holders, provide a unique and intricately passionate atmosphere.
Construction work began on the stadium in 1933 but was soon halted when it became abundantly clear that the sheer size of the original project made it financially unfeasible. The prospect of hosting the 1938 FIFA World Cup, however, saw the plan revived in April 1935, and 26 months later the great stadium was getting its final spit and polish.
Meazza's shorts
The first match in the Velodrome in the 1938 FIFA World Cup was the first-round clash between holders Italy and Scandinavian hopefuls Norway. The game got off to a predictable start as the Italians coasted into the lead after just two minutes thanks to a goal from Pietro Ferraris, but the Norwegians tore up the script and snatched an equaliser through Arne Brustad seven minutes from time. The Squadra Azzurra then showed the peculiar resilience of champions and sealed qualification for the next round with a goal from Silvio Piola four minutes into extra-time.
Italy went on to knock out France in the quarter-finals before facing Brazil in a semi-final that is still talked about today. Thousands of tifosi poured over the border into the Velodrome, swelling the attendance to 33,000, a new record for the ground. The throng bore witness to what was by all accounts the best match of the third FIFA World Cup. The South Americans had gone into the game so convinced of their superiority that manager Ademar Pimenta decided to leave out the team's star player, Leonidas, saying he wanted to keep him fit for the final. Unfortunately for Pimenta, the Italians were to make him regret his complacency.
Roared on by a partisan crowd, Italy stroked the ball around with gusto and eventually took the lead through Gino Colaussi early in the second half. Shortly after that came the real turning point of the match - when the referee awarded the Azzurri a penalty.
What followed was to go down forever in the annals of the FIFA World Cup. The legendary Giuseppe Meazza stepped forward to take the penalty looking full of confidence. As he went to place the ball on the spot, the string holding up his shorts broke, leaving them to fall around his ankles and sending the bumper crowd into fits of laughter. Unperturbed, the Inter Milan man pulled his shorts up with his left hand and placed the ball on the spot with his right, then took his run-up and, still holding his shorts up, planted the ball into the back of the net for what would turn out to be the winning goal. Brazilian goalkeeper Valter, no doubt perplexed by the whole incident, did not even move. Romeu got a goal back for the South Americans three minutes from time, but it was too little too late. The Vélodrome had provided a show worthy of Marseilles, a city renowned for its love of all types of excess.
World War II interrupted all sporting competitions and throughout much of the conflict the Vélodrome was used as a military parking lot for at first the French army, then the Germans and finally the Americans. Nevertheless, the stadium still managed to stage a handful of matches during this turbulent period, notably in 1942 when a team representing Vichy France lost 2-0 to Switzerland in front of 39,000 people who had come for some temporary respite from their daily sadness and deprivations.
The start of French triumph and Bergkamp's
By the time the 16th FIFA World Cup returned to the Velodrome in 1998, the old stadium had undergone an impressive facelift. Architects Jean-Pierre Buffi and Pierre Averous expanded and modernised the ground, but took great pains to ensure it remained in tune with its surrounding environment. The north and south curved banks were completely revamped, as were the Jean-Bouin and Ganay stands, though these retained their original 1936 elliptical shape. No roof was fitted, allowing the pitch to remain exposed to the elements. The refurbishments brought the capacity up to 60,000.
In 1998, the stadium was graced by no fewer than seven FIFA World Cup matches, four of them first-round encounters. One of those group-phase matches was the host nation's opening game, and the Velodrome clearly brought Les Bleus luck as local hero Zinedine Zidane led them to a simple 3-0 win over South Africa, their first step on the road to becoming world champions.
As if to remain faithful to its history, the Velodrome was again the scene of an upset for Brazil, as unheralded Norway recorded a surprise 2-1 first-round victory over the Auriverde in the group stage. The Brazilians at last overcame their jinx in the semi-final, when they beat the Netherlands in a penalty shoot-out after a suspenseful 1-1 draw. The Dutch had already left their mark on the Velodrome, since Dennis Bergkamp hit a breathtaking last-minute winner against Argentina in the quarter-finals. Latching on to a long pass from Frank de Boer, the elegant forward controlled the ball exquisitely at the right-hand edge of the box before angling a superb shot with the outside of his boot into the far corner. Before that, Italy had renewed their happy relationship with the Vélodrome by claiming a hard-fought 1-0 win in the second round against Norway.
A dramatic home
The Velodrome provided the backdrop for incredible moments from other competitions as well, most notably in the 1984 European Championship. The stadium had already been renovated by then, with a brand new playing surface to boot. The mobile stands fitted behind the goals concealed the last remaining stretches of the cycling track and increased the official capacity to 40,000. That figure was ignored when 58,848 fans crammed into the ground to watch the famous semi-final between France and Portugal, when Michel Platini brought the house down with a sensational winner in the 119th minute.
While the history of the always intimidating Velodrome is intimately bound with that of the FIFA World Cup, its never-dull day job is as the cherished home of Olympique de Marseille, winners of the European Champions Cup in 1993. Though OM have experienced the trauma of relegation on numerous occasions, they have always managed to rise from the ashes to remain one of the most popular clubs in all of France.
The club's patch-work history has been embroidered by the likes of legendary strikers Josip Skoblar and Jean-Pierre Papin, lavishly-skilled individuals such as Roger Magnusson and Chris Waddle, player-makers of the class of tiny giant Alain Giresse and Enzo Francescoli, colossal defenders like Karl Heinz Forster and Carlos Mozer, all coaxed and coached by some of the world's great managers, including Franz Beckenbauer, Tomislav Ivic and Raymond Goethals. One of the city's most celebrated sons, Zidane, still recalls the emotion he felt when standing on the curved banks of the Vélodrome watching his idol Enzo Francescoli. Perhaps in homage, Zidane's oldest son also happens to be called Enzo.

Otolaryngology is a specialty devoted to the evaluation and treatment of ear, nose and throat (ENT) disorders as well as head and neck, hearing and communication problems. We understand how ENT conditions can affect hearing, learning, speech and sleep and impact development. Our teams provide care that takes your whole child, not just the condition, into account.
ENT conditions in children can range from recurring ear infections and enlarged tonsils, to sinus diseases or a complex craniofacial anomaly (irregular or abnormal growth of head and facial bones). Nemours ear, nose and throat doctors, called otolaryngologists, are board-certified ENT surgeons who are highly trained in the latest minimally invasive and endoscopic surgery techniques.
The most common procedures our surgeons perform include:
- tonsillectomy (removal of the tonsils)
- adenoidectomy (removal of the adenoidal tissue)
- myringotomy with tube placement (removal of fluid from the middle ear and insertion of ear tubes)
Nemours surgeons are also skilled in advanced reconstructive techniques and often work with other specialists to try to combine one or more surgeries during a single hospitalization, which helps reduce the number of times your child needs to receive anesthesia.

City officials and a local non-profit are offering residents a chance to turn in guns and exchange them for laptop computers Saturday.
The swaps are set to take place at the Downtown Cultural Arts Center on N. Howard Street between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. this afternoon.
The event is another take on the kind of gun buyback events that have become increasingly popular since the shootings last year at Sandy Hook elementary school. A previous event in Baltimore offered grocery giftcards for firearms and Howard County residents were given cash.

Joan C. Williams
Professor Joan Williams was quoted in the Washington Post about how younger women are closing the pay gap.
A new Pew Research Center survey and analysis of census data finds that, in 2012, young women aged 25 to 34 made 93 percent of what their male peers made, up from 89 percent in 2005. That's far above the 84 percent pay gap for all women, according to the Pew analysis released Wednesday.
The attitudes the young women express in the survey stands in contrast to the views often assigned to Generation Y. "The conventional wisdom is that millennial women don't know what's going to hit them when they have children, that they're so naïve," says Joan Williams, the founding director of the Center for WorkLife Law at UC Hastings College of the Law. "Well, not so much. This shows millennial women know they're not facing a level playing field." Read more here.

BEDMINSTER, Pa. (AP) - April 19, 2013 --Humane officers say they have removed more than 100 dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and other animals from a suburban Philadelphia home.
The Bucks County Courier Times reports the animals were seized from a home in Bedminster on Thursday evening. Bucks County SPCA Executive Director Anne Irwin says the situation appears to be a case of hoarding.
The animals are being examined at shelters in Solebury and Quakertown.
Officials say officers went to the home Wednesday after receiving an anonymous complaint that there were animals living in filthy conditions. On Thursday, a judge issued a search warrant for law enforcement officers to search the property.
