COVID TESTING & VACCINE INFO: For more information on COVID-19 vaccines, testing, and masking, contact the Mendocino County Public Health COVID19 Call Center at (707) 472-2759 or visit their website here. You can read our ongoing coverage of the pandemic here, and find the current county COVID-19 data here.
UPDATED 7:45 p.m. — A little additional information has come to light. The County of Mendocino has confirmed that three people have been hospitalized as a result of this outbreak of COVID-19.* Adventist Health has clarified that two people are hospitalized at Ukiah Valley Medical Center, one of them a Mendocino County resident, and the other pastor Jack McMilin who is a Lake County resident. A third person, who is a Lake County resident, has been hospitalized in Lake.
MENDOCINO Co., 5/22/20 — On the eve of major reopening in Mendocino County — including the resumption of in-restaurant dining and in-store retail shopping — a large outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been discovered in connection with the Mother’s Day service at the Redwood Valley Assembly of God church. Six new cases of COVID have been confirmed in Redwood Valley bringing the total number of cases in the county to 21.
In addition, there is now some suspicion that there may an outbreak at the workplace of the man who was Mendocino’s 15th case. That workplace is in Sonoma County and testing is being offered to Mendocino Co. residents who work there, but who reside here.
In a Friday afternoon online press conference Mendocino County Public Health Officer Noemi Doohan, and Mendocino County CEO Carmel Angelo stressed that with these new outbreaks and with the additional reopenings, as well as the Memorial Day Weekend, the coming days and weeks will be a risky time for Mendocino County.
(Watch the press conference below)
Asked if a major outbreak could lead to a renewed lock-down, Doohan said she remained hopeful, but that if the number of cases began to strain the county’s medical infrastructure, then she would be forced to reinstitute a strict shelter-in-place.
“If we have people defying the health officers orders, in other words coming, together having parties — if businesses do not comply with the orders…[then] this weekend could be disastrous for us,” added Doohan.
Said Doohan, “I plead with you to please support your health officer; please support the public health orders.” She explained that safety, hygiene, and public distancing efforts, that have been for the most part well followed by the residents of Mendocino, are the chief reason that that Mendocino County has so far avoided substantial outbreaks of the disease, but that with reopening such efforts have become more important than ever.
Doohan noted that early in the pandemic she had anticipated that the pandemic would come to Mendocino in late May, and she asserted in the press conference that this appeared to be coming true. She went on to say that with reopening she expected to see a much greater number of cases in the coming weeks.
“I think as we go out into the summer we’re going to see more outbreaks,” said Doohan.
Angelo concurred, noting that urban and suburban counties were hit earlier, but that it was inevitable that the disease would also come to rural areas, “We have to reopen, we have to consider the people in this community…our goal as is yours is to have an improved quality of life. We need to do that but we need to do that safely.”
The six new cases were announced at the press conference. The information had been received only this morning, as the results of mass testing in Redwood Valley had become available. The initial three cases of COVID were announced last week, in connection with a live-stream taping of a church service, which included singing, at the RVAG church. One of those cases was a Mendocino resident. The other two were pastor Jack McMilin and his wife, both Lake County residents. McMilin remains hospitalized at Ukiah Valley Medical Center, but has not apparently required a ventilator. The six new cases are in isolation.
The additional six cases in Mendocino are connected with these initial three, and contact tracing is occurring now in an effort to understand the flow of the virus and if more people are infected. Doohan said that if you were among the hundreds tested in Redwood Valley, but have received no notice that you are positive — then you tested negative. People who test negative are often simply not informed.
Exactly how the initial three became infected remains unclear, but Doohan did say that it is now suspected that there may have been a fourth person at the church during filming.
As to the possibility of reverting into a forced lockdown, Doohan said that would be the case, if “we have so many new cases that it’s straining our healthcare system…and we cannot stay ahead of the increasing number of cases that’s when we’d have to go backwards.”
*Correction: An earlier version of this article erroneously stated that all three people had been hospitalized in Mendocino Co.
Those dumbasses!!!! Here all of rest of us are doing everything we can and taking all precautions with great success. And these dumb dumbasses go and congregate!! I truly hope they are all arrested!
Arrested for exercising the First Amendment? Hmm, are we now in North Korea?
It’s mighty suspicious that this outbreak happened at a church, whereas thousands of people circulated with Costco and Walmart before the mask “order” yet no outbreak.
Maybe the virus only attacks churches? Like the virus stops travelling at 6.001 feet.
So much vitriol directed at a few people in a church sitting apart! Smells like hypocrisy to me, unless all of you nasty folks spewing hatred haven’t left your home for the last two months. JC is right about this weaponized coronavirus PLANdemic but too many of you are too lazy or gullible to do the research or use a shred of common sense. Personally, I don’t care what you think, but your behavior is encouraging the totalitarian measures stealthily being put in place. You’ll be in the gulag wondering “wha’ happened?” This isn’t some vague conspiracy “theory” because there is definitely a conspiracy. Georgia guidestones, U.N. Agenda 21, AGW fake science, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Event 201, mandated vaccine with tracking technology and much, much more.
J.C. are you fucking retarded?
You see masks on those jackasses belting out songs? What do you think happens with all that air being expelled? You see people doing that at Costco?
Sorry if this seems harsh but c’mon science, common sense, y’know?!
Quite the username there, certainly gives you credibility. LOL
As someone who claims to be believe in science and common sense, tell us about the “science” and “common sense” of “social distancing” of six feet, but not seven feet, or five feet.
The claim that singing but not talking, or any other normal human activity that expels air, is “dangerous” is the same non-science as the number pulled out of the rear, “six” feet.
J.C., 6 feet does seem arbitrary if one has a 4th grade education and thinks like a child, as you seem to. In your case, given the fact that you are an idiot who clearly cannot comprehend that wearing a mask during this pandemic is both sensible and courteous, I recommend that you keep seriously the fuck away from EVERYONE, like maybe 1000 feet. And if you feel the need to handle snakes, speak in tongues or serve kool aid to the masses can you go somewhere like Alabama or Arkansas to do it? Please? You’ll fit right in. We were doing pretty well in this county until you bible-banging fools got twitchy. Oh and the 9th Circuit just called bullshit on your misintrepreted 1st amendment nonsense you selfish halfwit.
You demonstrate your “intelligence” with every post.
Cite the double-blind studies that prove, scientifically, “6 feet” is the proper distance, as opposed to, say, 3 feet, or 12 feet. Your so-called “science” of “social distancing” is faith-based “medicine.”
Your hatred of Christianity is noted. And is no surprise. I’m sure you’re one of these “tolerant” ones who preaches “acceptance” for everything perverse. You were – and are – among those who shriek about the “right” to murder the unborn, and the “right” to engage in sodomy, while you froth at the mouth that someone wants to exercise their faith in the manner they are entitled to. How much you actually believe in the “right to choose” laid out plainly.
As for the Ninth Circus, they can KMA. The First Amendment means what it says and says what it means. No perverts in black dresses can change that fact. And if government insists on molesting the plain language of the First Amendment, they may have to deal with the plain language of the Second.
This isn’t a dictatorship, no matter how much some like you wish it were.
J.C. (are you under the illusion you are Jesus Christ?) in fact I am not one of the “tolerant” ones of all things perverse. For example I think you and your ignorant Pentecostal cohorts should be driven out with fire and pitchforks (begone Satan!), if that is what it takes. Christians you may call yourselves, but in reality you are just a bunch of bottom feeding, mouth breathing carny barkers, grifting your way through life. You are no better than Scientologists, Warren Jeffs child-fucking Mormons, or the nut jobs of Waco. I don’t really care what crazy, stupid shenanigans you get up to ordinarily in your own limited gene pool, but when your lunacy and batshittery can affect everyone else’s health, then tolerance for you goes out the window. Have you considered moving to Oklahoma?
I just hope everyone realizes that this virus does not care what religion/non-religion you are and TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!
First Jim Jones comes out of redwood valley. Now their churches are spreading COVID 19. What is it about redwood valley and religion. Faith is not protection from real threats.
You blame Redwood Valley? Do you also blame New York City for its problems? If you have contempt for rural living and rural folks, there are plenty of cities to move to.
Your contempt for traditional religion is also noted. Never mind that atheist and/or materialist-“scientific” systems have murdered far more people (USSR, Red China, etc.).
I do have to say, though, it is terrible irony that the church building that once housed the People’s Temple is now the site of this outbreak. I caught that fact immediately. Is it irony? Or is there a reason that particular building/community is involved, and perhaps not because of the actions of its members?
People need to not be so damn cruel! Maybe show some sympathy that the people testing positive are on a road to recover okay. All of you need to realize it’s a virus and some people don’t know that they have it. So let’s think about what’s the difference between them going to church with a few church members and you or anyone else going into a store or picking up food to go from somewhere. The virus can be anywhere and eventually I’m sure a lot more people will get it sooner or later. Let’s be mindful that these people have families and didn’t get this virus intentionally. But the likely hood of it being spread else where can take place in a store, at work where essential workers are etc. Please keep your rude heartless comments to yourselves because I’m sure if one of you got the virus you wouldn’t say the things you are saying about yourself!
Bottom line, they defied our shelter in place orders. Kind of hard to look at that positively. I am in the at risk age group. I have a strong desire to see my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. The SIP orders do not allow me to do so. Meanwhile a selfish group gathers in fellowship defying the rules of SIP resulting in the County maintaining their most stringent rules and become ill, infecting others unknowingly. It will be interesting to see how many are Contact traced at the workplace.
I hope everyone recovers, but all I can say in a sarcastic manner… thanks a fucking lot!
You’re right, we shouldn’t be cruel. But people have to follow the public health orders in order to keep from spreading the virus. These folks who didn’t follow the rules and got sick could have spread it to other unsuspecting people. We must be more aware that our actions affect other people too. You can’t blame us for being mad at people who were so careless.
I completely agree with you that compassion is the most useful response to suffering. I was disheartened and worried to hear that the pastor was put on a ventilator and my prayers are for his health and the well-being of everyone in our county struggling with COVID-19 and everyone struggling with the anxiety of living in this time of a novel virus. I pray for those who have been hospitalized. I am also concerned that while people need food to survive, ie, they need to go to the store, holding streaming services is not an absolute necessity right now. I’m sure that some people of faith would disagree with me and that’s alright, they are entitled to their belief system. The problem comes when as a result of their participating in church services they become vectors of infection for those not involved in their faith community. All of our actions are impacting each other in profound ways as a result of the virus, and it’s time to put others before ourselves. I pray for the speedy recovery of everyone impacted by the redwood valley outbreak.
The COVID-19 Ghouls love the pain! They’re self-righteous, self-serving fanatics perfectly at home in any total government environment. In East Germany, they were the individuals who made the Stasi function so well. Apart from maybe being an enforcer for a Homeowner’s Association or the like, they’ve never had the chance to satisfy their control-freekdom like in this situation.
One would think that “people” who claim they are oh, so concerned about preventing pain, suffering, and death would have great compassion and empathy for those, well, suffering, but the Schadenfreude they display is revelation of their true character.
Their attitudes have been beneficial to me, however, as they played a part in my questioning of the official narrative of this crisis.
Terri, foul language will not endear you to many. Am I supposed to feel sympathy for selfish people who whine about being at risk while my own grandchilren’s (15 of them) future is being dashed before they even have a chance to become parents or to get a career off the ground? You’re at risk? Fine. Stay home, get the untested vaccine that Billy Gates-of-Hell is determined to inflict upon the world, but don’t tell me and millions of other people that we have to pretend that we are all lepers so as not to ruffle your feathers.
First off, since they didn’t know they even had it, were asymptomatic, other testing WILL reveal other cases. We haven’t had a SINGLE DEATH here, no one went to the hospital that I know of and you are STILL KILLING OUR ECONOMY SHELTERING US IN PLACE FOR OVER 2 MONTHS….LET US OPEN AND LET US GET BACK OUR ECONOMY!
A lot of people are seeing through the lies, and realizing this situation is not because of a virus, but because of an underlying political agenda (NO, I’m not talking about hurting Trump). Alas, plenty of sheep are still enthralled to the “expert” opinion which has reformed itself like Play-Doh routinely.
Remember when the lockdown was to “Flatten the Curve”? I do. Now it’s “until this happens,” with “this” being something new repeatedly. Ultimately, the lockdowns will remain in some form until the “vaccine” from Hell arrives, and is “ordered mandatory” for everyone (remember how these same people shrieking about COVID-19 shrieked about a right to choose for a certain other homicidal reason?).
The economic damage is already catastrophic, and will continue to grow every day these insane politically-driven lockdowns continue. It’s easy to focus on real and mostly alleged dangers of the virus, while the not-yet-seen economic effects are building to that of a tsunami ready to sweep away government services in budget year 2020-2021. Those shrieking about “the virus! the virus!” are like those who stand at the beach, mesmerized by the massive amount of water receding from the shore – “how interesting, I wonder what this means?”
Remember back, boys & girls, when that Economic Tsunami washes away what YOU need from government services. Among countless other things from stores and factories you thought would always be there. Say good-bye to your pensions, in particular.
The headline says 3 hospitalized, so. No deaths here yet, shelter in place is effective.
The economic pain will be dictated by the virus; open too soon and we will have to shelter longer.
What is the number of deaths that is acceptable to you to”GET US OUR ECONOMY BACK?
That pastor is an IDIOT to allow open singing during a shelter-in-place pandemic!
Shame on him and his wife for doing what they did to our county on Mothers Day of all days.
They should both be arrested after they are released from hospital.
No sympathy for selfish covidiots who risk all our health by not following simple rules put in place to protect us all.
Maybe that pastor should try reading the book instead of lecturing on it like a know-nothing, selfish boomer fool!
How many suicides and other deaths from despair are acceptable to you so you can “feel safe”?
How many unnecessary deaths from undiagnosed cancers and untreated conditions that end in misery & fatality because of the hysteria (leading to serious delay in discovery) are acceptable to you so you can “feel safe”?
How many tens of millions of Americans ruined financially, and facing homelessness and worse, are acceptable to you so you can “feel safe”?
I get it: you don’t care about them.
ABC7 just did a report on Thursday, those who actually do care can look it up: “Suicides on the rise amid stay-at-home order, Bay Area medical professionals say”
There’s plenty more news reports and data showing those deaths will exceed real and “doctored” (pun intended) COVID-19 deaths.
Guess what “ stop negativity “?
Yes, people still get it.
A lot of them get it because these bozos who deliberately expose themselves ,walk around, and infect other people .
It seems pretty easy for you to dismiss the deaths of people that they all infected.
Maybe this church can help out the hospitals carrying bodies to the morgue.
Start with my father.
Or my 40 year old friend who got infected and died on the front lines, helping packing emergency supplies for shut ins.
Big joke right?
Go ahead and argue, “ well they didn’t die in Mendocino.”
Then come to my house in Mendocino county and tell me you think this virus recognizes borders.
The number doubled here because of these clowns.
Don’t expect me to feel any sympathy for these people. They knew what they were doing before they ever went in the door!
Please name this friend of yours that died. Surely a news report was done on their story?
Are you helping with the suicide prevention lines right now? Or do those folks’ lives not count? What about the alcoholics who fell off the wagon, drinking themselves to death due to the stress, while liquor stores are “essential” under the rule by decree, but AA meetings are not?
I can’t tell from the article exactly how many people were physically present at the Mother’s Day service. Were any or all of the other six cases physically present at the service or did they have contact with the pastor or his wife or the camera operator at some place other than the church service? Commenters seem to assume there was a large congregation physically present, but there article never actually said so.
According to an earlier article, there were three people there, the pastor and his wife and the cameraman. The event was live streamed. All these people screaming about how three people, two of whom live together, are responsible for spreading disease and destruction are worse than clueless. They are the unquestioning obedient followers requisite for the NWO that is descending upon us.
THEY ARE ALL FAMILY!!!
It’s so easy to overreact. Logic says they sang together with no masks, but they were married and living together so they did not need them. There were one or two other people there and they may have been well-known to the pastor and his wife (and had ben sheltering at home) so it seemed probable these others were free of the virus. We still don’t know who had it first and how they got it. There is much we don’t know. The only thing we can say with confidence is singing can cause the virus to spread. Therefore those other two people definitely should not have been there. End of story.
As of 4/7/20 up to 4 people were allowed to live stream a worship service in Mendocino, with distancing, hand sanitizer, etc. Singing and wind instruments however were not allowed. The current order does allow singing. I’m not sure what the order was on May 10th perhaps the numerous commenters wanting to arrest people know? This is one of the more discouraging comment chains, so much self righteousness. Just because one’s been so far lucky enough not to get sick.
Hi Lisa— I’m generally for the shelter in place orders and am concerned about churches holding services in advance of orders permitting them to do so, but also understand the frustration of folks who feel their religious freedoms are being abridged. Even though I’m concerned about church activity before the virus is better contained, and am usually with folks who want to see others follow the shelter in place orders, I agree with you that it’s incredibly
disheartening to see so many people calling for arrests. We’re all neighbors, we live in a community, this is not a way to treat people. I appreciate you pointing out that it may have been within the order effective that weekend to have 4 people total from different households in one location. I’d have to go back and double check the order. Regardless of whether they were strictly following the order, and I personally wished they had refrained from doing the service, this mob mentality and calling for arrests is just so very disturbing. I’m glad I’m not the only one!
Please “Shelter in place” as much as possible and wear masks outside to protect your community. We’re better than this. It’s the quickest way to get people back to work. Really. We can do this together. As a Medical Home teacher for our schools, I know there are many vulnerable people in our community who need you to come through for them. Please don’t put our healthcare workers at risk with reckless choices. K. Gantzel
Oh, so cruel… these ignorant believers thought their invisible friend was going to save them. Not only ignorant but stupid and endangering the lives in the community. The scientists in charge of public health say stay at home. The reason is you might not know you have the virus. These foolish people have endangered the entire community. How many deaths will result? Should we not hold them accountable?
You ignorant responders… I bet you’d let a smoked light their smoke in a gas vapor filled room because their addiction is a sickness… people need to ack like “responsible adults” and protect the community.
This is no conspiracy, it’s Saint Darwin at work. Saint Darwin let this loose on us. I believe he wants the ignorant to wipe the aged who possess knowledge and experience so the idiots can rule.
Where were you with your wisdom when Dr. Doohan traveled to her San Diego home 600 miles away? You have an issue with a few people getting together to worship the God you so rudely mock, but it’s okay for overpaid officials to go where they want when they want or for people to shop ’til they drop. What a hypocrite!
Nearly all of these lockdown fanatics are hypocrites. Nearly all of them preach a “right to choose” for abominations, but when someone wants to exercise a right to choose how they live their lives in traditional ways, these “people” demand government put a boot on their throats.
I’m actually just loving the unadulterated hypocrisy of so many government “leaders” and “officials.” From Doohan to the Mayor of Chicago to the Governor of Illinois to Boris Johnson’s “he was only doing what a good father would do” personal aide. It shows us just what they really think of us, and how much they believe in “free” societies that “represent” the People. All of their lies about “democracy” are exposed, forever. I cannot and will never again accept them as someone with merely honest “disagreements.” Those here in our country are enemies of my family, and enemies of America and the American Way of life. There can never be any compromise with them again. And if they continue to try to force their will, motivated by twisted ideology, then we may be on the road to a Civil War. WE didn’t choose that; they did. Because they refuse to respect us and our choices.
Okay, I have to say, if you think things should be continuing to stay on a tight lockdown and you are a smoker, you better stop smoking!
People are sold that six ft apart is going to keep you safe. Now, go and smoke and watch where and how far your smoke travels. That was in your body. This shows how far things can really travel.
If you are concerned, wear your masks everywhere.
I am not trying to pick on smokers. Many people I know who smoke and still are considerate of those around them.
If government “authorities” and “experts” truly gave a damn about people’s health, as they claim they do, during a pandemic of a virus that causes respiratory distress, wouldn’t they simply ban cigarettes, cigars, and cannabis inhaled products, as readily and easily as they have banned people from moving about freely, and banned so many people from working?
Alas, the government “authorities” and “experts” DO NOT care about people’s health. The lockdowns are NOT about any virus. There is a diabolical agenda behind the scenes, as James Corbett (look him up) and others have demonstrated with actual, fact-based research that cannot be refuted. [everyone, please, spare us the idiot talk of “that’s all ‘conspiracy theory'”]
(for the record, I am NOT in favor of banning tobacco or cannabis products, but if “the science” is the true basis of these “public health” [sic] “‘orders,” then what I suggest is a baffling omission…)


Aleppo: Syrian army "seizes all of Old City"Comments
Syrian government forces have reportedly recaptured all of Aleppo’s historic ‘Old City’, pushing the last remaining rebels there out.
The British-based monitoring group, The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said an army advance on Tuesday and overnight, supported by heavy air strikes and shelling, caused insurgents to withdraw from the Old City.
The report indicates that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, helped by its ally Russia, is closer than ever to what would be its biggest victory of the conflict – retaking eastern Aleppo in its entirety.
The Syrian army advance has already seen rebels lose two thirds of the besieged enclave.
#UPDATE Syrian govt forces control all of Aleppo's historic Old City after rebel fighters withdrew overnight https://t.co/mrrb5BMcXD— AFP news agency (@AFP) 7 décembre 2016
Insurgents are now calling for a five-day ceasefire, talks about Aleppo’s future, and medical and civilian evacuations.
The Kremlin however looks in no mood to back down – describing all rebels left in Aleppo as ‘terrorists’ and announcing that rebel shelling has killed a Russian military adviser there.
Over five years, the civil war has killed hundreds of thousands of people, made more than half of Syrians homeless and created the world’s worst refugee crisis.

Sensational Basket Ball Player Putting His Christianity on The Front Page
by Moody Adams Johnson, who is rated the greatest NBA point guard of all time (ESPN 2007), now serves as a pro basketball commentator said during a TV broadcast, "Like Jeremy Lin says, 'God is good.'"
Johnson says today that he has a “personal relationship with Jesus Christ,” according to the Christian publication Connection Magazine.
"I thank Him every chance I get – on my knees praying," said Johnson. He is a member of West Angeles Church of God in Christ.
Jeremy Lin, who is leading the NBA in scoring since making the starting team 8 games ago, is a sensational athlete being referred to as basketball's Tim Tebow. He has a strong faith and a disciplined Christian life.

• Collins grew animated when asked Sunday, for the third straight day, about Juan Lagares' playing time.
"He has been an everyday player," Collins said. "He got into a little bit of a funk. It's not like I sat him for seven days. I sat him for two days, for cripes' sakes. We're getting a little carried away here. Somebody gets a day off and it's like the sky's falling. It's not. He's the center fielder."
Before playing Saturday, Lagares had been out of the starting lineup for four of the Mets' previous five games.

|Title:||Growth performance and nutrient utilization of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fingerlings fed diets with differently fermented sesame seed (Sesame indicus)|
Onuegbu, C. G.
|Keywords:||Fermented Sesame seeds|
|Publisher:||Department of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development, University of Ibadan, Nigeria|
|Abstract:||An experiment was conducted to assess the Growth Response (GR) and Nutrient Utilization (NU) of differently processed fermented sesame seed (Sesame inducum) in the diets of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings. Three categories of Sesame Seed (SS) (undehulled, dehulled and prepressed) were fermented at room temperature. Their phytic acid and tannin content were determined pre and post fermentation. Four diets were then formulated at 40%, Crude Protein level; Diet 1 (control with 0% SS inclusion); Deit 2, Undehulled Fermented SS 25% inclusion); Diet 3 Dehulled fermented SS 25% (dehulled fermented SS 25%inclusion), and diet 4 (prepressed fermented SS 25% inclusion). These diets were fed to the fish at 3% of their body weight, two times daily for 8 weeks. Each treatment had three (3) replicates, with 10 individual fish average initial weight of 1.62g. At the end of the experiment, fish carcass (whole body) were analysed for proximate composition. Result showed that fish fed Diet 1 which is the control had the best growth performance and nutrient utilization values while fish fed Diet 2 had the poorest values for these parameters. Among the differently fermented sesame seed diets, Diet 4 had the best Growth Performance (GP) and Nutrient Utilization (NU) indicies. The Specific Growth rate and the Food Conversion Ratio of Diet 1 were better and significantly (p<0.05) different from the fermented sesame seed based diets while the protein intake of all the diets were not significantly (P<0.05) different from each other. The dehulled and prepressed based diets showed appreciable increase in GP and NU values when compared to other sesame seed fermented based diets. This observation was adjudged to be due to the reduction of tannin content from 0.066% (initial) to 0.056, 0.035 and 0.024% respectively and for phytic acid from 0.248% (initial) to 0.236, 0.216 and 0.187% in undehulled, dehulled and Prepressed Sesame Seed (PSS) based diets respectively. Fermented (PSS) based diet performed significantly (P<0.05) best when compared with other fermented sesame seed based diets, due to the fact that prepressing of the seed further reduced the concentration of the antinutritional factor.|

Amare Stoudemire has rejoined the Knicks, practicing with the club today and expecting to play tomorrow, but New York's attention is still on Linsanity. So let's kick off today's Knicks notes with the latest on Jeremy Lin….
- The Knicks won't have Early Bird rights on Lin this summer, but the Gilbert Arenas provision will prevent other teams from out-bidding New York for the restricted free agent, says Marc Berman of the New York Post. For an in-depth explanation of the Arenas rule, check out Larry Coon's CBA FAQ.
- Howard Beck of the New York Times confirms Lin's contract status as outlined by Berman (all Twitter links).
- The Knicks had targeted point guards like Steve Nash and Raymond Felton for their mid-level exception, Berman adds. However, if Lin's impressive play continues, New York may end up having to use their full MLE to retain him.
- Lin will have to carefully manage the off-court commitments and distractions that come with his newfound celebrity, writes John Hollinger of ESPN.com (Insider link).
- Sam Smith of Bulls.com argues that Lin's emergence opens the door for the Knicks to offer Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler to the Magic for Dwight Howard. Not sure I'm on board with this one — the Knicks have yet to even see how their current roster looks when fully healthy, and there's no guarantee Howard would sign long-term in New York. Plus the Knicks would likely have to take on a bloated contract to make the salaries work.

Now lying just six points behind the leader Jerseyman Walker started the weekend in top form and had looked a certainty for pole position having outclassed the field in testing and the first round of qualifying.
However, in the Superpole session he was pipped to the premier position in the final moments by Charles Pic but was still assured a place on the front row for the second race.
Starting race one from seventh position on the reverse grid Walker took advantage of other driver’s mistakes to take a good haul of points with a fourth place finish.
But with a capacity crowd to impress it was Sunday’s feature race that kept his loyal fans, calling themselves Walker’s Stalkers, entertained.
After dropping to third place a pit speeding penalty for the car in front boosted Walker back into second and he managed to hold off Oliver Turvey in the closing stage of the race to secure the number two spot on the podium.
Walker said: ‘This has been a great weekend for us. We worked our tyres pretty hard in the race but we were never in any danger of conceding second place in race two.’
After hearing the news that he is now second in the championship he added: ‘It’s fantastic and I can’t wait to continue the fight at Le Mans. If not for the mistakes at Hungary and Spa I would be leading now but I’m making up for those mistakes and looking forward to continuing this success.
‘I have had some fantastic home support here from all the World Series fans and all the guys from Jersey so thank you all for cheering for me.’
The series moves to Le Mans in two weeks’ time and Walker will no doubt be looking to continue his drive up the leaderboard and keep third-placed Bertrand Baguette at bay while closing in on the leader Marcos Martinez.

Horror Filmmaker Scott Derrickson Set To Helm Marvel’s ‘Doctor Strange’
In news that is sure to get both the horror community and the Marvel fanboys talking, horror filmmaker Scott Derrickson is officially set to direct Doctor Strange for the folks over at Marvel. This news comes courtesy of the folks over at Variety, and I for one think it is quite the inspired choice.
Derrickson broke through with his feature directorial debut, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, back in 2005 and has since go on to helm one of the better horror films in recent years, 2012’s Ethan Hawke-starring Sinister. His next horror film, Deliver Us From Evil, is set for release July 2nd.
The titular Doctor Strange made his debut all the way back in the 1963 comic-book series “Strange Tales” and would eventually go on to have a series of his own. While no timetable is set just yet for the release of Doctor Strange, we will no doubt know more once our hero is officially cast. Adrien Brody anyone?
In the meantime, stay tuned here at Morbidly Amusing for all updates Strange. Below you can check out a pic Derrickson himself posted to Twitter a little over a half hour ago confirming the news.


Lots of CDs piling up. Let's have a listen at a few, shall we?
Norman -- Hay, Hay, Make a Wish and Turn Away: These boys play Neil Young-meets-Uncle Tupelo country-folk-rock through a cloudy, green filter befitting their Oregon provenance. Mostly, it works, especially when they veer away from the freak-folk stylings so popular in the Northwest and kick up some dust with their up-tempo songs. Blitzen Trapper fans may want to look into Norman's musical offerings.
Just Surrender -- Phoenix: Flavor-of-the-month pop-rock full of mid-song tempo changes, loud-but-not-edgy guitars, sing-song vocals that don't fit the "heavy rock" behind it. Mallrats in Gilbert probably would call this punk, but it's strictly teenybopper stuff, just with more tattoos. These guys are on tour with Valley poppers The Maine.
Los Lobos -- Tin Can Trust: Hardly vital, but definitely a solid and respectable record of Latin-tinted Americana/roots rock from these Los Angeles stalwarts. Longtime fans will not be disappointed in the least. Check out the fuzz guitar on "On Main Street."
Sarah Harmer -- Oh, Little Fire: The Canadian bills herself equally as singer-songwriter and activist, and the one-sheet accompanying her latest disc lauded her recent journey through the Canadian wilderness more than it did her music. It appears she's had some minor chart success in her native land, but her brand of indie light rock is a dime a dozen in the States, so she doesn't really stand out among the countless similar artists I've listened to this year. Worth noting: Neko Case provides vocal harmonies on "Silverado."
Tom Jones -- Praise and Blame: The most famous lounge singer in the world takes on a dark-hued collection of blues, gospel number, and spirituals. To many, TJ may seem like a cariciature, but he delivers on this very good record. Sometimes, his voice seems almost too big for these often-sparse arrangements, but that's nitpicking. If you'd heard about this record and were curious in the least about it, go ahead and check it out.
36Crazyfists -- Collisions and Castaways: Apparently, all the good band names have been taken. How else to explain the plight of 36Crazyfists? Anyway, this three-piece does math-y metal with the tired formula of a Cookie Monster vocalist growling his brains out alternating with a dude singing a vaguely melodic line. What's with the all tough-guy metal bands using the liner notes nowadays to thank their moms, dads, and lovely and beautiful wives? Best song title: "Death Renames the Light."
Chely Wright -- Lifted Off the Ground: On Wright's publicity blitz for Lifted Off the Ground this spring, much was made about she's a, gasp, lesbian country singer. Pre-coming out, she apparently used to date country superstar Brad Paisley and a number one hit with "Single White Female." I've never heard that one. This record is big-time all the way, a slick Nashville production created by the best in the business. Unfortunately, it delivers not a single musical or lyrical surprise.
Pete Francis -- The Movie We Are In: New York singer Pete Francis' new record would not seem out of place next to acts like Pete Yorn or John Mayer in your CD collection. Mid-tempo, guitar-based pop-rock and Francis' easy-going vocal style recalls mid-1970s album-oriented rock with a little bit of Cat Stevens thrown in. The airy production lets the solid songwriting breathe. Best song: "Love Shakes You Down."

For the next two weeks, they traveled down through the continent, the nights becoming colder, the days shorter. Icy rain kept them company for four days, during which time Celaena was so miserably cold that she contemplated throwing herself into a ravine, hopefully dragging Chaol with her.
Everything was wet and half-frozen, and while she could bear sodden hair, she couldn’t withstand the agony of wet shoes. She had little sensation in her toes. Each night, she wrapped them in whatever spare, dry clothing she could find. She felt as though she were in a state of partial decay, and with each gust of frigid, stinging wind, she wondered when her skin would rip from her bones. But, as it was autumn weather, the rain suddenly disappeared, and cloudless, brilliant skies once more stretched over them.
Celaena was half-asleep on her horse when the Crown Prince pulled out of line and came trotting toward them, his dark hair bouncing. His red cape rose and fell in a crimson wave. Above his unadorned white shirt was a fine cobalt-blue jerkin trimmed with gold. She would have snorted, but he did look rather good in his knee-high brown boots. And his leather belt did go nicely—even though the hunting knife seemed a bit too bejeweled. He pulled up alongside Chaol. “Come,” he said to the captain, and jerked his head at the steep, grassy hill that the company was starting to ascend.
“Where?” the captain asked, jangling Celaena’s chain for Dorian to notice. Wherever he went, she went.
“Come see the view,” Dorian clarified. “Bring that one, I suppose.” Celaena bristled. “That one”! As if she were a piece of baggage!
Chaol moved them out of line, giving her chain a fierce tug. She grasped the reins as they advanced into a gallop, the tangy smell of horsehair creeping into her nostrils. They rode quickly up the steep hill, the horse jerking and surging beneath her. Celaena tried not to wince as she slid backward in the saddle. If she fell, she’d die of humiliation. But the setting sun emerged from the trees behind them, and her breath caught in her throat as a spire, then three, then six more appeared, piercing the sky.
Atop the hill, Celaena stared at the crowning achievement of Adarlan. The glass castle of Rifthold.
It was gargantuan, a vertical city of shimmering, crystalline towers and bridges, chambers and turrets, domed ballrooms and long, endless hallways. It had been built above the original stone castle, and cost a kingdom’s wealth to construct.
She thought of the first time she’d seen it, eight years ago, cold and still, frozen like the earth beneath her fat pony. Even then, she found the castle tasteless, a waste of resources and talent, its towers reaching into the sky like clawed fingers. She remembered the powder-blue cloak that she kept touching, the weight of her fresh curls, the scratch of her stockings against the saddle, how she’d worried about the spot of mud on her red velvet shoes, and how she kept on thinking about that man—the man she’d killed three days earlier.
“One more tower and the whole thing will collapse,” the Crown Prince said from his spot on the other side of Chaol. The sounds of their approaching party filled the air. “We’ve still got a few miles left, and I’d rather navigate these foothills in the daylight. We’ll camp here tonight.”
“I wonder what your father will think of her,” Chaol said.
“Oh, he’ll be fine—until she opens her mouth. Then the bellowing and the blustering will begin, and I’ll regret wasting the past two months tracking her down. But—well, I think my father has more important matters to worry over.” With that, the prince moved off.
Celaena couldn’t keep her eyes from the castle. She felt so small, even from far away. She’d forgotten how dwarfing the building was.
The soldiers scurried about, lighting fires and raising tents. “You look as if you’re facing the gallows, not your freedom,” the captain said beside her.
She wound and unwound a strap of leather rein around a finger. “It’s odd to see it.”
“The city, the castle, the slums, the river.” The shadow of the castle grew across the city like a hulking beast. “I still don’t entirely know how it happened.”
“How you were captured?”
She nodded. “Despite your visions of a perfect world under an empire, your rulers and politicians are quick to destroy each other. So are assassins, I suppose.”
“You believe one of your kind betrayed you?”
“Everyone knew I received the best hires and could demand any payment.” She scanned the twisting city streets and the winding glimmer of the river. “Were I gone, a vacancy would arise from which they could profit. It might have been one; it might have been many.”
“You shouldn’t expect to find honor amongst such company.”
“I didn’t say that I did. I never trusted most of them, and I knew they hated me.” She had her suspicions, of course. And the one that seemed most likely was a truth she wasn’t yet ready to face—not now, not ever.
“Endovier must have been terrible,” Chaol said. Nothing malicious or mocking lay beneath his words. Did she dare call it sympathy?
“Yes,” she said slowly. “It was.” He gave her a look that asked for more. Well, what did she care if she told him? “When I arrived, they cut my hair, gave me rags, and put a pickax in my hand as if I knew what to do with it. They chained me to the others, and I endured my whippings with the rest of them. But the overseers had been instructed to treat me with extra care, and took the liberty of rubbing salt into my wounds—salt I mined—and whipped me often enough so that some of the gashes never really closed. It was through the kindness of a few prisoners from Eyllwe that my wounds didn’t become infected. Every night, one of them stayed up the hours it took to clean my back.”
Chaol didn’t reply, and only glanced at her before dismounting. Had she been a fool to tell him something so personal? He didn’t speak to her again that day, except to bark commands.
Celaena awoke with a gasp, a hand on her throat, cold sweat sliding down her back and pooling in the hollow between her mouth and chin. She’d had the nightmare before—that she was lying in one of those mass graves in Endovier. And when she tried to pull herself from the tangle of rotting limbs, she’d been dragged down into a pile twenty bodies deep. And then no one noticed that she was still screaming when they buried her alive.
Nauseated, Celaena wrapped her arms around her knees. She breathed—in and out, in and out—and tilted her head, her sharp kneecaps pushing against her cheekbone. Due to the unseasonably warm weather, they’d foregone sleeping in tents—which gave her an unparalleled view of the capital. The illuminated castle rose from the sleeping city like a mound of ice and steam. There was something greenish about it, and it seemed to pulse.
By this time tomorrow, she’d be confined within those walls. But tonight—tonight it was so quiet, like the calm before a storm.
She imagined that the whole world was asleep, enchanted by the sea-green light of the castle. Time came and went, mountains rising and falling, vines creeping over the slumbering city, concealing it with layers of thorns and leaves. She was the only one awake.
She pulled her cloak around her. She would win. She’d win, and serve the king, and then vanish into nothing, and think no more of castles or kings or assassins. She didn’t wish to reign over this city again. Magic was dead, the Fae were banished or executed, and she would never again have anything to do with the rise and fall of kingdoms.
She wasn’t fated for anything. Not anymore.
A hand upon his sword, Dorian Havilliard watched the assassin from his spot on the other side of the sleeping company. There was something sad about her—sitting so still with her legs against her chest, the moonlight coloring her hair silver. No bold, swaggering expressions strutted across her face as the glow of the castle rippled in her eyes.
He found her beautiful, if a bit strange and sour. It was something in the way that her eyes sparked when she looked at something lovely in the landscape. He couldn’t understand it.
She stared at the castle unflinchingly, her form silhouetted against the blazing brightness that sat on the edge of the Avery River. Clouds gathered above them and she raised her head. Through a clearing in the swirling mass, a cluster of stars could be seen. He couldn’t help thinking that they gazed down at her.
No, he had to remember she was an assassin with the blessing of a pretty face and sharp wits. She washed her hands with blood, and was just as likely to slit his throat as offer him a kind word. And she was his Champion. She was here to fight for him—and for her freedom. And nothing more. He lay down, his hand still upon his sword, and fell asleep.
Still, the image haunted his dreams throughout the night: a lovely girl gazing at the stars, and the stars who gazed back.

“Fall, My Mother”Summary
“Fall, My Mother” written by Ambai tells the story of the coming of age in a particular Indian society. The passage takes the reader on a journey as a young girl realizes that life as she knows it will never be the same. At the same time the story also highlights the realization every female must come to terms with, and how in this society more than just a bodily change occurs, but a cultural one as well. The story begins with the narrator reminiscing to her younger days. She recalls a time when she sees a sister on a plank with a man before her offering a bunch of leaves at her feet. This memory will serve as a foreshadowing of the events to come later in the passage. After this the narrator begins to take us on a journey of her life. She is thirteen years of age and has reached the point where she is out growing her clothing and is seeing things that are unfamiliar to her. One day she asks her mother, Amma, what is the coming of age. Her mother responds by telling her it is something she should not concern herself with. She assures her daughter that it is nothing to concern herself with, and tells her to not change. The narrator has become use to her mother catering for her every need that she has never had the chance to care for herself. One day while picking flowers from a tree the girl suddenly notices stains on her skirt, she wonders is it from the tree and frantically returns to the house for her sister, Kalyani. Her sister then gets the woman who usually helps her mother to comfort in this life changing moment that has occurred. The narrator is reluctant to cooperate with either and is curious as to why her mother has not informed her about this change that has occurred. She wonders why her mother never told her about this moment all the times they spent together. Her sister eventually becomes aggravated, and tells her she must learn to do things for herself. She must even start wearing what is the equivalent to a bra. Becoming...

Woman runs marathon at 39 weeks pregnant
Running-mad (or just plain mad) mom gives birth after completing a marathon. Would you have done it?
Most women spend the final days of their pregnancy trying to stay off their swollen feet
- the last thing on their minds is maintaining an exercise regime
- but for Amber Miller, being 39 weeks pregnant
didn’t stop her from completing the Chicago Marathon, reported Reuters.
Miller went into labour
shortly after completing the 42.195 km race, giving birth to her second child. Both were healthy.
"I was kind of planning on running about half and maybe skipping to the end and walking across the finish line," Miller said in a clip on the ABC News website.
She ended up alternating between running for two miles and walking for two miles throughout the race, Miller told the Chicago Tribune.
Doctors were kept informed of Miller's exercise plans during her pregnancy
and had no objections to her running in the marathon, a spokeswoman from Central DuPage hospital said.
It’s hard to imagine how an expectant mom could run such a vast distance, and harder still to grasp how she managed to give birth shortly after.

Wisconsin raw dairy farmer Vernon Hershberger has had it tough, as government tyrants in the Dairy State have repeatedly targeted him for legally supplying raw milk and other farm-fresh foods to members of a private buying club, for which he now faces a potential three-year prison term and more than $10,000 in fines. In his defense, a group of food sovereignty advocates will be holding a rally on March 2nd at the Sauk County Courthouse in Baraboo, Wisc., where he is set to appear for a court hearing.
“The FDA reign of terror against family farms who are serving the needs of private buying clubs is culminating in one Wisconsin farmer facing federal charges,” said Kimberly Hartke from theWeston A. Price Foundation. “Citizens deserve the freedom to choose, and are staging an event in support of this principled farmer, Vernon Hershberger. He is being dealt with unjustly, and is standing strong with the support of the families he serves” (http://hartkeisonline.com/).
