The Midsummer Classic
The 2007 All-Star Game in San Francisco, to be played on Tuesday, July 10, will be the 78th "Midsummer Classic."
The first Major League Baseball All-Star Game was played in 1933 at Chicago's Comiskey Park; it was the first event of its kind in professional sports.
The Major League Baseball All-Star Game is the most popular and mostwatched All-Star Game in all four major professional sports.
All-Star Week
MLB All-Star Week encompasses five days of events, culminating with the All-Star Game; it is estimated that more than 100,000 will attend the DHL All-Star FanFest from July 6-10 at the Moscone West Convention Center in San Francisco.
Last year's FanFest in Pittsburgh attracted 106,000 people, one of the five largest crowds in the history of the interactive baseball theme park.
Taco Bell® All-Star Sunday features both the XM All-Star Futures Game and the Taco Bell® Legends & Celebrity Softball Game. The Futures Game features the brightest rising stars throughout baseball competing in a U.S. vs. World format.

MLB, the Giants and the City and County of San Francisco will host the "All-Star Game Red Carpet Show Presented by Chevrolet," from noon until 1 p.m. on Tuesday, July 10. Members of the American and National League All-Star Teams will ride to AT&T Park via a gala celebration along the streets of San Francisco in open-air vehicles provided by Chevrolet, the official vehicle of Major League Baseball and the 2007 All-Star Game. The parade will start at Pier 30/32 (The Embarcadero @ Brannon), and run SW along The Embarcadero toward AT&T Park. The parade route ends at Willie Mays Plaza at the corner of King Street and 3rd Street. This event is free to all fans.
Media Coverage
The 2007 All-Star Game will be broadcast throughout the world by FOX Sports, ESPN Radio and a variety of international rightsholders.
The FOX Sports broadcast posted an average of 14.4 million viewers and the ratings of the 2006 Midsummer Classic showed a 15 percent increase over the 2005 All-Star Game, representing its largest increase of the last 24 years.
In 2006, more than 100 million fans around the world watched or listened to All-Star events via television, radio and the Internet.

Past All-Star Games have filled between 14,000 and 16,500 hotel rooms and have drawn between 200,000 and 250,000 fans to the various All-Star Week festivities.
San Francisco's All-Star History
The 2007 All-Star Game will be the third hosted by San Francisco since the Giants moved west in 1958. Overall, it will be the fifth All-Star Game hosted by the franchise, as the Polo Grounds hosted the event in 1934 and 1942.
Eighty players have represented the Giants at the Midsummer Classic in franchise history.
Hall of Famer Willie Mays is a 24-time National League All-Star.
In the second All-Star Game at the Polo Grounds in 1934, Hall of Famer Carl Hubbell struck out Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin consecutively.
Giants players have been named the Most Valuable Player of the All-Star Game five times, tied with the Orioles, Reds and Dodgers for most alltime. The award was instituted for the 1962 All-Star Game, and Giants players won five of the first 13 honors. (Mays, 1963; Juan Marichal, 1965; Mays, 1968; Willie McCovey, 1969; Bobby Bonds, 1973.)
Both of the previous Midsummer Classics in San Francisco were held at Candlestick Park, in 1961 (the first ASG that year) and 1984.
In the first All-Star Game held in the 1961 season (from 1959-1962, two All-Star Games were held annually) was played on July 11. The National League won a 10-inning game by a 5-4 score despite committing five errors in the game. The total of seven errors in the contest was a record. The National League took a 3-1 lead into the top of the ninth inning, but the American League rallied with two runs, propelled by three consecutive one-out hits - including a Roger Maris single against Sandy Koufax. Giants righthander Stu Miller relieved the Dodgers great and was soon called for his ballyhooed "wind-blown balk," and then an error by Ken Boyer plated Al Kaline with the tying run. In the top of the 10th, the A.L. scored the go-ahead run after another Boyer error, leaving Hoyt Wilhelm to protect the visitors' edge. In the bottom of the frame, the extraordinary star-power of the N.L. lineup delivered and brought the game to a rapid conclusion. Hank Aaron led off with a single, advanced to second on a passed ball by Elston Howard and in short order came around with the tying run on a double by hometown favorite Willie Mays. After Frank Robinson was hit by a pitch to put a second man on base, Roberto Clemente stroked a single into right to end the game. Despite the infamous balk, hometown hurler Miller earned the win with the one unearned run allowed, fanning four batters among the five outs he recorded.
The 1984 All-Star Game was played on July 10, the same date as the 2007 Midsummer Classic. The '84 ASG was one year removed from the Midsummer Classic in which the American League broke the National League's 11-game winning streak at Chicago's Comiskey Park. A pair of National League arms stole the show in relief, as Dodgers sensation Fernando Valenzuela and Mets rookie Dwight Gooden - at 19, the youngest rookie All-Star in history - each struck out the side in the fourth and fifth innings, respectively, protecting their side's 2-1 advantage. After Dale Murphy's single knocked in Steve Garvey in the first against A.L. starter Dave Stieb, George Brett tied the game in the second with a solo shot off Charlie Lea. The N.L. answered in the bottom of the frame with a long ball by Gary Carter, who would be named the contest's Most Valuable Player, and Murphy's solo homer in eighth added an insurance run. Goose Gossage got the save with a scoreless ninth inning. Bob Brenly and Chili Davis represented the Giants at their home park.
AT&T Park
AT&T Park opened in the 2000 season.
Seating capacity: 41,777.
The Giants have drawn more than 3.1 million fans for seven straight years, each of the park's existence.
AT&T Park was the first professional sports venue to provide Wi-Fi throughout the ballpark.
Earlier in 2007, the Giants teamed with Pacific Gas and Electric Company on plans to install a major solar system at AT&T Park. PG&E will install 590 solar panels in three areas of AT&T Park- most notably along the Port Walk on McCovey Cove. PG&E will reconnect the 123 kw of power generated from the solar panels into San Francisco's power grid to help the city achieve its goal of becoming the greenest city in the nation.
In addition to college football games, Cirque du Soleil and other sports and entertainment events, AT&T Park has hosted The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Dave Matthews Band and Green Day.

Getting array of all members
I'm trying to find a function that will return an array of certain xprofile fields from all members, similar to how get_users() works for WordPress user fields. Ideally, I'd also like to select only those members who are attached to a certain role.
My end goal is to populate a drop-down select menu with the first and last names of all members (from a role).
It seems like this should be a built in function, but perhaps not?

The second fight of the Spike TV portion of preliminary card of UFC 132: Cruz vs. Faber 2 is Melvin Guillard vs. Shane Roller. This is a lightweight fight, meaning 155 pounds. Guillard could potentially put himself in deep title contention with a win over Roller. The referee in charge of the action is

ROUND 1 - Both fighters standing orthodox and Guillard comes out light on his feet and lands a hard middle kick. Guillard switches stances and charges in with a left. An inadvertent eye poke temporarily stops the fight. Hard outside leg kick and a knee connects with Guillard. However, Guillard eats a left hook exchanging in the pocket. Now Roller doing the stalking but he eats a monster left hook, then another and then another. That's it. Roller goes cold. Wow.

Great speaker (best of it's kind)
by josh2267 on September 22, 2008
Pros: Accurate, loud, good quality, portable. what else can you ask for in a speeker
of this size.
-Other compaines will have to play catch up!!!!!!
Cons: NONE (FOR THE CONCERINS WITH NO REPLACABLE RECHARG BATT) AGAIN

Summary: First off for your info. I am an audiophile, DJ, computer tech, computer builder, musician, and speaker fixer/builder. Here is my review
-As for this speakers sound (awesome for it's size and using Bluetooth). I tried about 5 speakers and they all well SUCKED. THE SOUNDBLADE, SONY BT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BOSE. ETC.... They all sound crapy, not loud at all, no bass,
-again the sound of the M1 was clear very powerful and loud.
-the reason for NO SPEEKER phone is simple. That takes away from the power and quality of the audio. Too much to explain here but that is why. They goal was to make it A LOUD HI END SOUNDING BLUETOOTH SPEAKER FOR PHONE OR IPOD/MP3 PLAYERS.
-As for the (THER IS NO WAY TO REPLACE THE RECHARGABLE BATTEIES) there is a good reason for that. If they did that they would have to
make the unit bigger and (LESS PROTABLE).
-I opened up the unit to check it out. There are 2 big rechargeable batters pressed up both speakers. GOOD QUALITY inside of unit. Again those big batters are needed to get the 28watts and no room to make the batteries replicable (no speaker phone or gadgets to take away for HIFI of the unit.
-The batteries should last about 3 years in my opinion. But there is a 2 year warrantee. You have to give somewhere for smaller with/quality and louder
-I feel it is the best of its kind on the market
-can't wait to see what KLIPSCH can come up with.
-The M1 SHOULD SET THE STANDARD FOR QUALITY OUT OF BLUETOOTH SPEEKERS. OTHER COMPANIES WILL HAVE TO PLAY CATCH UP AND FAST AND GET RID OF THERE ****** SOUNDING SPEEKERS OF THIS KIND.

Summary: I bought this a few months ago and have loved it since. I use it with my iPhone 3GS. It is perfect to take anywhere in its case that comes with it. I searched a long time for a good wireless speaker for my phone. I am surprised there are not a lot of great options. This is perfect to take to the beach because you can put your phone in a plastic bag and not expose it to sand by keeping it in a dock.
I love it and would buy it again in a heartbeat.
The volume of the speaker gets as loud as you want it to be. I do not think I have turned it above half indoors. The bass works really well too. It really displaces a lot of air from the back with the bass boost on.
It's a simple no hassle hook-up. I turn on the speaker and then go into my ipod and it automatically plays from the speaker. Nothing more to say about that.
The battery life is amazing. I will charge it once and use it off and on for a couple of weeks. It probably lasts that long because it does not need to be pumped up.
The only thing I can think off to write is that the controls don't work from the speaker itself. The play/pause button, volume knob, and bass boost all work. However, you can not switch to the next song from the speaker. And the volume is controllable only from the speaker. You can do everything from the phone except adjust the volume.

Cons: Case isn't big enough to carry charger, bass kinda fades as you turn it up

Summary: Sorry Y'all with the IPhones, but this thing is an absolute DEMON with the Moto Droid. All functions work, connected in seconds, and blasted a quality of sound exceeded only by my Bose SoundDock, which will now stay at home with the Ipod because That is too much $$ worth to be leaving out at night at the Marina, and I can take my phone with me back to the boat when I get tired. The party can go on with control right from the unit. Vive Android!!
Seriously, if you want great presence, control from both the phone and the speaker itself, and have a cardboard box or an empty cooler for a bass reflector around and a serious phone, stuff this into the box or cooler and be prepared for audiophile quality from something no bigger than a Vodka bottle! I put it side-by side with the Bose, and though the larger Bose sounded larger, and was MUCH louder, this device punched right through. Midrange presence and high-end are outstanding - dare I say better - although a little tinny with older music - and bass is 'good enough' if set-up as mentioend above. I do that with the Bose anyway, so do it with the M1 - they call it the 'Executive Redneck Boombox'. For half the price of the SoundDock, you don't have to leave $700 worth of stuff lying around.
Onboard control is superior - little distortion even when turned all the way up, forward, previous, and play/pause. I think you will always want the bass boost on. I am not worried about battery life because it will sit running full-blast every weekend for the summer, so I would always use the power supply. Maybe an update will ensue! Just wish they had left room for the charger in the case... I think most people that use this would want it along. Nothing like a case that lets you leave the unit inside - and Neoprene is washable. Doesn't cost you an extra $50 either. Most remotes don't work very well in sunlight or from a distance, so I can see why they left it out. Use your media volume control on your phone to control the M1.
In short, you get what you pay for. If you want Bose, buy Bose. You aren't going to beat the SoundDock except in price. This is an affordable solution that delivers universality, control, and great sound. The BlueAnt M1 is a milestone.
The BEST of all portable wireless speakers
by naturadamus on August 19, 2009
Pros: Easy to pair with any bluetooth device, rechargeable, AC in, awesome sound quality, long lasting battery for that kind of power, audio line in capability
Cons: You can't control the volume level from your phone, you have to rotate the volume button on the speaker, which plus, is a little bit bulky.

Summary: THE BEST OF ALL WIRELESS (BLUETOOTH AND BATTERY) SPEAKERS IN THE MARKET TODAY
It would have been nice if blueant took the risk to make it a little bit bigger so it could have a bigger battery with more amperes, so the charge would last longer because with this sound quality, you forgot you are running on batteries and you can let yourself go and listen to this too loud, which means less battery time.

After a short shuttle to the Pacuare River, we will enjoy a day of white water rafting. The Pacuare features some of the best rafting in Latin America and a project to build a hydroelectric dam on this river was recently rejected by the environmental authorities of Costa Rica based on lack of information about the project's social and environmental impact. Throughout the day we see stunning scenery as the river winds its way through deep canyons and primordial rainforest. Professional guides with years of experience on the river pilot each raft.

At sunset we shuttle to the hot springs at the base of the volcano where we'll enjoy a traditional homemade dinner together.

Highlights: Canoeing and snorkeling along the Pacific Coast
The last full day of our Costa Rica adventure takes us to nearby Agujas Beach, where we'll take outrigger canoes for a day of paddling and snorkeling. Each canoe holds 6 to 7 people plus a guide, so you don't have to do all of the work. We'll paddle to a nearby beach where we'll stop to eat a picnic, rest, swim, and snorkel before heading back to the starting point in the afternoon. We'll celebrate the end of our journey with a final dinner together at a seaside restaurant.
Hotel Features: Oceanfront boutique hotel on isolated Esterillos beach.

10-year-old Brooke Hopkins wants to eat healthier in the new year.
"I've been doing pretty good so far, so I can stick to it."
Her mom is helping her stay on track.
"Every week we try and add a new vegetable she hasn't tried before," says Ronne Hopkins.
The American Academy of Pediatrics reminds everyone that New Year's resolutions aren't just for adults - children should make healthy promises too.
"It really is a family effort," says Dr. Jennifer Sivitz of Hackensack University Medical Center.
Other suggestions for 5-12 year olds: drink reduced fat milk and water, limit soda and fruit drinks to special occassions, wear a biking helmet, and be nice to other kids.
Experts say physical activity is a good resolution for children of all ages. Try to find a sport or activity they like and encourage them to do it at least three times a week.
"The recommendation is 60 minutes a day and the other piece of that is limiting screen time less than two hours a day."
And you're never too young to start resolutions.
Preschoolers may want to promise to brush their teeth twice a day, wash hands after the bathroom and before eating and put their toys away.
Brooke got a jump start on her goals. She joined the Healthy Futures program at Hackensack University Medical Center five weeks ago.
"It's not about weight loss, it's more about making healthier choices for herself," says Ronne.
Choices Brooke hopes to stick to through the year and the rest of her life.
As for teenagers, experts suggest resolutions to choose non violent TV shows and video games and resist peer pressure to try tobacco, drugs or alcohol.

farm dog
Farming and rural life discussion forum. Cooking, hunting, gardening, fishing, critters, etc.
Moderator: Team Cub
farm dog
Thinking of getting a farm dog. Hoping to have some advise on breeds. I need a dog that wont mind being outside, knows what its side of the fence is. Wants to keep deer and rabits out, knows not to chase cattle or pigs or suck eggs and eat chicken. Was thinking of English Shepherd.
This is like asking what brand oil is the best, but probably the best for your use in my opinion is a border collie. Intelligent, and good around animals and kids. Ours was easy to train, and a big help when we needed to move animals. Whatever you get though, you will have a head start if you get one that was raised on a farm, or in the country, not from a puppy mill.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government
to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the
government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry
Golden retreiver can ask for a better dog in the world. doesn't mess with the chickens, ducks, cats, horses or cows. But he will kill a ground hog in a second hates them and squirrels.
I can say what breed NOT to get!--Black lab.!--they kill everything in sight!!--my uncles had one!! ---Killed every pheasant, rabbit, chicken,etc. in 5 mile radius of home!--even chased deers, caught a couple! killed groundhogs, dug up field lane gettin' ground squirrels, got several tree squirrels too!---if it moved that dog killed it!!!! thanks; sonny
Sonny we had the exact opposite with a Black Lab. Bev is the trainer tough and that may be the secret. Dog loved every thing and everybody. Kids could jump on pull it's ears or tail, no problem. From 100 yards either of us could whistle, point to the ground and she would sit and stay till told OK. One time a ground hog poked it's head out, Bev said "Get it Pokey" and over time all the ground hogs in the neighborhood were at Bev's feet with a tail wagging dog there also. Only thang she hasn't trained. Guess who? Fortunately she is still trying.

I don't think the breed has near as much to do with it as much as how much time you want to spend on training it. My son has a great dane that is a gentle as all get out but.. no matter what runs through the field will meet its maker. Border collies are in my opinion the easiest dogs to train. The best companions I have ever had was ones rescued from the pound. All can be great if treated with a little love. (kinda like men) Whatever you get you can train it to be what you want. The most difficult dog I ever met was a springer spaniel. Beautiful dog but 75% are brain dead. (gonna catch it over that statement) Good luck Grump

Some days it's not worth chewing through the restraints
I agree with John and Grump on the Border Collie. Once they are taught you should have no problems. You just have to remember not to let them learn something you will regret. They are too smart to forget anything. Depending on how well they are trained decides if you need a fenced yard. My barnyard (3 1/2 acres) is totally surrounded by 4' chain link. One of mine will chase cars if let loose.
Flash and Bandit can hardly be found on cold winter nights. The Border was bred to handle livestock and is adept at living outdoors. These two girls like sleeping in the hay loft so they can watch the yard at night.
Deer and rabbits in your garden? Not with these girls around. They give about anything a run for their money. If trained properly they will learn to live with the chickens.
One thing to keep in mind if you get one from a rescue center, most centers do not allow their adoptee's to sleep outside. All the ones around here told us they had to be inside in a cage when we were gone or asleep. They said they do periodic checks to see how they were treated. That's good to prevent cruelty but I think it's more cruel to cage them. We never felt a dog should be kept like that. I don't know how the dog pound feels about it.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

I just thought my Uncles "lab" was an exception!! they did try to teach it to mind but that never happened!--I forgot too that its favorite dessert was copper wire, beer can tabs, and hot ciggie butts, it found around the farm! thanks; sonny
I think 99% of dog breeds are good if they are trained & handled correctly. My last 4 dogs have been Queensland-Blue-Healers and that is what I will get again if I outlive the present one.
Then came Bronson
Amen to that. Buster, my dog, is a border collie/Australian shepherd mix that we got from the pound. Great dog, friendly, loyal very smart. He's not a farm dog, but he does work outdoors with me. Have only done minimal training with him (sit, come, etc.) and he learned like a flash and obeys every time. Wonderful wonderful dog.

I have raised Golden Retrievers and now raise English Labs, you can make a good dog out of about any breed. Its all about time you commit to your dog. Retrievers are very loyal and will work hard for you. Herding dogs like boarder collies have high energy and need to have a job they can be amazing. Friend of mine has a Bison farm and his one border collie can corral a loose Bison and spends all its time out watching the heard. No matter what kind of dog you choose and how it turns out is in your hands good luck and have fun.

i've had St. Bernards; Goldens; Labs; and Border Collies. the Border Collies are by far and away the smartest, most easily trained dogs, there's no doubt in my mind. my Stormy is an excellent watchdog, lives with cats in the house, and just adores the outside (unless we're inside!). here's a pic of her guarding the Cub:
she's 25-30 pounds, eats just about nothin', is gentle with children, and is just so lovable. there's no question about it: Border Collies are a good bet for a farm-dog.

What Form of Cerebral Palsy Does My Child Have?
Why Does One Doctor Classify Cerebral Palsy in this Manner,
While the Other Doctor Labels it in Another?
Why Does Classifying Cerebral Palsy Seem So Confusing?
Cerebral palsy is caused by an injury to the brain or by abnormal brain development. Although the injury is neurological in nature, it produces affects to the body that impair movement, coordination, balance and posture, which are mostly orthopedic in nature. There are various types of cerebral palsy.
To complicate matters, there are secondary conditions caused by the motor impairment, as well as other co-mitigating factors which contribute to the child's impairment. Every child is unique with varying degrees of impairment. Classification is important in understanding the individual child's impairment, and for coordinating management of care.
The Classification Preference Changes Based on Intended Use
Professionals who specialize in treatment of cerebral palsy approach the condition from a number of different vantage points. An orthopedic surgeon requires a definition of the limbs affected and the extent of impairment in order to direct treatment.
Neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists, on the other hand, are more concerned with the cause of the brain abnormality and descriptors for imposing white and gray matter in an effort to determine the type of brain injury or brain malformation. They are also concerned with diagnosing the extent and severity level of the child's cerebral palsy.
At first, a parent may be concerned with the severity level classification – mild, moderate or severe – in order to better understand the child's impairment or disability. When meeting with the child's pediatrician or physical therapist, it is useful to understand the topographical distribution of the impairment – the limbs and the sides of the body affected by brain damage. It also clarifies plegia (paralysis) or paresis (weakened) condition.
Government agencies and school administrators may be more concerned with classification systems that gauge the level of impairment against the level of severity in order to plan and administer benefit programs and educational resources for the child.
Researchers are interested in utilizing a universally accepted classification system, such as the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), to increase consistency in studies and expand the ability to trend prevalence, life expectancy, societal impact, and prevention measures.
The Move to a Universal Classification System
For these reasons, many cerebral palsy classification systems are used today. Over the last 150 years, the definition of cerebral palsy has evolved and changed as new medical discoveries contributed to growing knowledge of the condition. Although a myriad of classifications – used differently and for many purposes – exists today, those involved in cerebral palsy research are working toward a universally accepted classification system.
Because of the diversity of classification systems, parents may want to document different terms doctors use in cerebral palsy diagnosis. In addition, parents should also maintain home health records documenting associated impairments, anatomic and radiation findings, as well as causation and timing. MyChild™ has developed the MyChild™ Diagnosis Checklist and the MyChild™ Risk Factor Checklist for this purpose.
Below are the most commonly used classification systems understood and used by qualified medical practitioners involved in a child's management team.
CLASSIFICATION OF CEREBRAL PALSY BASED ONSeverity Level
Cerebral palsy is often classified by severity level as mild, moderate, severe, or no CP. These are broad generalizations that lack a specific set of criteria. Even when doctors agree on the level of severity, the classification provides little specific information, especially when compared to the GMFCS. Still, this method is common and offers a simple method of communicating the scope of impairment, which can be useful when accuracy is not necessary.
- Mild - Mild cerebral palsy means a child can move without assistance; his or her daily activities are not limited.
- Moderate - Moderate cerebral palsy means a child will need braces, medications, and adaptive technology to accomplish daily activities.
- Severe - Severe cerebral palsy means a child will require a wheelchair and will have significant challenges in accomplishing daily activities.
- No CP - No CP means the child has cerebral palsy signs, but the impairment was acquired after completion of brain development and is therefore classified under the incident that caused the cerebral palsy, such as traumatic brain injury or encephalopathy.
CLASSIFICATION OF CEREBRAL PALSY BASED ONTopographical Distribution
Topographical classification describes body parts affected. The words are a combination of phrases combined for one single meaning. When used with Motor Function classification, it provides a description of how and where a child is affected by cerebral palsy. This is useful in ascertaining treatment protocol.
Two terms are at the heart of this classification method.
- Paresis means weakened
- Plegia/Plegic means paralyzed
The prefixes and root words are combined to yield the topographical classifications commonly used in practice today.
- Monoplegia/monoparesis means only one limb is affected. It is believed this may be a form of hemiplegia/hemiparesis where one limb is significantly impaired.
- Diplegia/diparesis usually indicates the legs are affected more than the arms; primarily affects the lower body.
- Hemiplegia/hemiparesis indicates the arm and leg on one side of the body is affected.
- Paraplegia/paraparesis means the lower half of the body, including both legs, are affected.
- Triplegia/triparesis indicates three limbs are affected. This could be both arms and a leg, or both legs and an arm. Or, it could refer to one upper and one lower extremity and the face.
- Double hemiplegia/double hemiparesis indicates all four limbs are involved, but one side of the body is more affected than the other.
- Tetraplegia/tetraparesis indicates that all four limbs are involved, but three limbs are more affected than the fourth.
- Quadriplegia/quadriparesis means that all four limbs are involved.
- Pentaplegia/pentaparesis means all four limbs are involved, with neck and head paralysis often accompanied by eating and breathing complications.

Conditions Often Associated with Cerebral Palsy
CLASSIFICATION OF CEREBRAL PALSY BASED ON Motor Function
The brain injury that causes cerebral palsy affects motor function, the ability to control the body in a desired matter. Two main groupings include spastic and non-spastic. Each has multiple variations and it is possible to have a mixture of both types.
- Spastic cerebral palsy is characterized by increased muscle tone.
- Non-spastic cerebral palsy will exhibit decreased or fluctuating muscle tone.
Motor function classification provides both a description of how a child's body is affected and the area of the brain injury. Using motor function gives parents, doctors, and therapists a very specific, yet broad, description of a child's symptoms, which helps doctors choose treatments with the best chance for success.
Muscle Tone
Many motor function terms describe cerebral palsy's effect on muscle tone and how muscles work together. Proper muscle tone when bending an arm requires the bicep to contract and the triceps to relax. When muscle tone is impaired, muscles do not work together and can even work in opposition to one another.
Two terms used to describe muscle tone are:
- Hypertonia/Hypertonic — increased muscle tone, often resulting in very stiff limbs. Hypertonia is associated with spastic cerebral palsy
- Hypotonia/Hypotonic — decreased muscle tone, often resulting in loose, floppy limbs. Hypotonia is associated with non-spastic cerebral palsy
Two Classifications by Motor Function:
Pyramidal and Extrapyramidal
When referring to location of the brain injury, spastic and non-spastic cerebral palsy is referred to in the medical community as pyramidal (spastic) and extrapyramidal (non-spastic) cerebral palsy.
The pyramidal tract consists of two groups of nerve fibers responsible for voluntary movements. They descend from the cortex into the brain stem. In essence, they are responsible for communicating the brain's movement intent to the nerves in the spinal cord that will stimulate the event. Pyramidal cerebral palsy would indicate that the pyramidal tract is damaged or not functioning properly.
Extrapyramidal cerebral palsy indicates the injury is outside the tract in areas such as the basal ganglia, thalamus, and cerebellum. Pyramidal and extrapyramidal are key components to movement impairments.
Spastic (Pyramidal) – Spasticity implies increased muscle tone. Muscles continually contract, making limbs stiff, rigid, and resistant to flexing or relaxing. Reflexes can be exaggerated, while movements tend to be jerky and awkward. Often, the arms and legs are affected. The tongue, mouth, and pharynx can be affected, as well, impairing speech, eating, breathing, and swallowing.
Spastic cerebral palsy is hypertonic and accounts for 70% to 80% of cerebral palsy cases. The injury to the brain occurs in the pyramidal tract and is referred to as upper motor neuron damage.
The stress on the body created by spasticity can result in associated conditions such as hip dislocation, scoliosis, and limb deformities. One particular concern is contracture, the constant contracting of muscles that results in painful joint deformities.
Spastic cerebral palsy is often named in combination with a topographical method that describes which limbs are affected, such as spastic diplegia, spastic hemiparesis, and spastic quadriplegia.
Non-Spastic (Extrapyramidal) – Non-spastic cerebral palsy is decreased and/or fluctuating muscle tone. Multiple forms of non-spastic cerebral palsy are each characterized by particular impairments; one of the main characteristics of non-spastic cerebral palsy is involuntary movement. Movement can be slow or fast, often repetitive, and sometimes rhythmic. Planned movements can exaggerate the effect – a condition known as intention tremors. Stress can also worsen the involuntary movements, whereas sleeping often eliminates them.
An injury in the brain outside the pyramidal tract causes non-spastic cerebral palsy. Due to the location of the injury, mental impairment and seizures are less likely. Non-spastic cerebral palsy lowers the likelihood of joint and limb deformities. The ability to speak may be impaired as a result of physical, not intellectual, impairment.
Non-spastic cerebral palsy is divided into two groups, ataxic and dyskinetic. Together they make up 20% of cerebral palsy cases. Broken down, dyskinetic makes up 15% of all cerebral palsy cases, and ataxic comprises 5%.
Ataxic cerebral palsy affects coordinated movements. Balance and posture are involved. Walking gait is often very wide and sometimes irregular. Control of eye movements and depth perception can be impaired. Often, fine motor skills requiring coordination of the eyes and hands, such as writing, are difficult.
Dyskinetic cerebral palsy is separated further into two different groups; athetoid and dystonic.
- Athetoid cerebral palsy includes cases with involuntary movement, especially in the arms, legs, and hands.
- Dystonia/Dystonic cerebral palsy encompasses cases that affect the trunk muscles more than the limbs and results in fixed, twisted posture.
Because non-spastic cerebral palsy is predominantly associated with involuntary movements, some may classify cerebral palsy by the specific movement dysfunction, such as:
- Athetosis — slow, writhing movements that are often repetitive, sinuous, and rhythmic
- Chorea — irregular movements that are not repetitive or rhythmic, and tend to be more jerky and shaky
- Choreoathetoid — a combination of chorea and athetosis; movements are irregular, but twisting and curving
- Dystonia — involuntary movements accompanied by an abnormal, sustained posture
- Ataxia/Ataxic — does not produce involuntary movements, but instead indicates impaired balance and coordination
A child's impairments can fall into both categories, spastic and non-spastic, referred to as mixed cerebral palsy. The most common form of mixed cerebral palsy involves some limbs affected by spasticity and others by athetosis.
CLASSIFICATION OF CEREBRAL PALSY BASED ON Gross Motor Function Classification System
Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) uses a five-level system that corresponds to the extent of ability and impairment limitation. A higher number indicates a higher degree of severity. Each level is determined by an age range and a set of activities the child can achieve on his or her own.
The GMFCS is a universal classification system applicable to all forms of cerebral palsy. Using GMFCS helps determine the surgeries, treatments, therapies, and assistive technology likely to result in the best outcome for a child. Additionally, the GMFCS is a powerful system for researchers; it improves data collection and analysis and hence result in better understanding and treatment of cerebral palsy.
The GMFCS addresses the goal set by organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Surveillance of Cerebral Palsy in Europe (SCPE) which advocate for a universal classification system that focuses on what a child can accomplish, as opposed to the limitations imposed by his or her impairments.
This system is useful to parents and caretakers as a developmental guideline which takes into consideration the child's motor impairment. It assigns a classification level (GMFCS Level 1 – 5). The parent is then able to understand motor impairment abilities over time, as the child progresses in age.
To best utilize the GMFCS, it is often combined with other classification systems that define the extent, location, and severity of impairment. It is also recommended to document upper extremity function and speech impairments.
How is GMFCS Used?
The GMFCS uses head control, movement transition, walking, and gross motor skills such as running, jumping, and navigating inclined or uneven surfaces to define a child's accomplishment level. The goal is to present an idea of how self-sufficient a child can be at home, at school, and at outdoor and indoor venues.
When the child fits in multiple levels, the lower of the two classification levels is chosen. The GMFCS classification system recognizes that children with impairments have age-appropriate developmental factors. GMFCS is able to chart by age group (0-2; 2-4; 4-6; 6-12; and 12-18) a developmental guideline appropriate for the assigned GMFCS level. It emphasizes sitting, movement transfers and mobility, charting independence and reliance on adaptive technology.
GMFCS Classification Levels
- GMFCS Level I- walks without limitations.
- GMFCS Level II- walks with limitations. Limitations include walking long distances and balancing, but not as able as Level I to run or jump; may require use of mobility devices when first learning to walk, usually prior to age 4; and may rely on wheeled mobility equipment when outside of home for traveling long distances.
- GMFCS Level III- walks with adaptive equipment assistance. Requires hand-held mobility assistance to walk indoors, while utilizing wheeled mobility outdoors, in the community and at school; can sit on own or with limited external support; and has some independence in standing transfers.
- GMFCS Level IV- self-mobility with use of powered mobility assistance. Usually supported when sitting; self-mobility is limited; and likely to be transported in manual wheelchair or powered mobility.
- GMFCS Level V- severe head and trunk control limitations. Requires extensive use of assisted technology and physical assistance; and transported in a manual wheelchair, unless self-mobility can be achieved by learning to operate a powered wheelchair.

High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line
<communications, protocol> (HDSL) A form of Digital Subscriber Line, providing T1 or E1 connections over two or three twisted-pair copper lines, respectively. Unlike most other forms of DSL HDSL is not a typical consumer service, it's used mostly to replace traditional T1/E1 connections, such as connecting PBXes to telco offices. The advantage of HDSL over the Alternate Mark Inversion line coding scheme traditionally used on T1/E1 lines is that it requires about an order of magnitude lower bandwidth to carry the same traffic.

Early detection is key when it comes to breast cancer. That's why self-exams and mammograms are so important. If a mastectomy is needed, women now have many options for reconstruction.
Terri Kasey is a breast cancer survivor.
"I have a mammogram every year, but this one came back suspicious, and after a biopsy, they found it was malignant, and I needed to have a bilateral mastectomy," Kasey explains.
Kasey had the mastectomy, and then Dr. Andrew McAllister inserted tissue expanders as the first part of her breast reconstruction. He says using tissue expanders and implants helps in reforming the breast structure without having to remove muscle and tissue from other parts of the body.
Dr. McAllister has a very personal reason for pursuing his career path. "My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993, and at the time, there was not a lot of reconstruction in the area where she lived, and that's what drove me down the path of doing what I do."
He goes on to say, "One in eight women today are diagnosed. We've come a long way with our reconstruction process, and if we can catch things early, the skies the limit."
Kasey knows first hand how important regular exams are in detecting breast cancer.
She says, "I had no symptoms and even though I had an annual mammogram since I was 40, it happened to me...and it could happen to anyone. I felt it was not worth my life to not have the time to go get a mammogram."

Organized crime preys on every aspect of society, with football, banking secrecy and endangered species being its most high-profile victims in the past year. Criminal networks have expanded into multi-billion dollar syndicates,harnessing the illicit trade of people, goods, drugs, money, intellectual property and environmental resources. Estimates of the shadow economy place the scale of the issue at US$ 650billion, or a staggering US$2 trillion including money laundering.
What the Council is doing about it
To raise awareness on the issues of illicit trade and organized crime, the Council is creating a narrative to inform global communities on why it matters to combat illicit trade and organized crime. The Council will share the informationat the Annual Meeting 2014 in Davos-Klosters.
The Council is also addressing a fundamental weakness in policy-making and collaboration in this field: the lack of good data and information on the impact of organized crime and illicit trade. Policies and strategies to combat organized crime and illicit trade may miss the mark without reliable, replicable and sound data on the scale and nature of the problem. To help improve the measurement of illicit trade,the Councilhas the support of key international agenciesthat have agreed to provide data and lend resources to the project. The Council will identify targeted resources and funding to begin the methodology exercise and collect data on corruption, intellectual property rights crimes, counterfeits, environment crime, human trafficking and other illicit trade. Following this initial exercise, the Council would like to expand its methodology project to combat other areas of illicit trade in the 2014-2016 term, including illicit finance, narcotics and arms.
The development of a multistakeholder approach that engages the private sector, governments and civil society is essential to enforce regulatory frameworks, monitor supply chains and raise awareness. The objective is to present the findings of the data project and launch apublic-private partnership for dialogue at the Annual Meeting in Davos-Klosters in 2015.In parallel, the Council is working to provide a platform to foster multistakeholder collaboration and awareness of human trafficking specifically. It will examine the connections between the illegal movementof people, and provide a safe place for dialogue for businesses that want to cooperate on the issue. The Council will also publish a white paper on human trafficking.

DERRY — Young athletes are learning the art of judo through the Derry Judo Club's Lil' Samurai Club at Veterans Memorial Hall.
Instructor Roger Lenfest, a fourth degree black belt and nationally certified coach, is assisted by club founder Chris Veziris, a sixth degree black belt and also a nationally certified coach.

1994 Lincoln Town Car Review
What a big, traditonal luxury car should look and ride like
Plan on needing a repaint
Best Big Car Ever. — I had a beautiful 94 Executive series. It was platinum with white leather. Easily the best car I've ever owned. I drove it cross country and couldn't have been more comfortable. The car does everything well. It's powerful enough, is smooth and quiet, gas milage was excellent and eats up highway miles. The interior is huge as is the trunk. Build quality was incredible-no problems, no squeaks or rattles, and all in a beautiful body-style (the cuurent one doesn't look as good). Sadly, I sent it to an early grave with only 120k on it. I miss it. Only complaint was the paint-it starting peeling at the base of the back windshield and worked its way all the way down the trunk. The roof was starting to do the same. Every Lincoln owner I know has had this issue.

I Love It!! — Style, power, all of the above!! It rides very smooth. Runs extremely quiet. No complaints here at all....roomy, power, and style in one nicely wrapped package! Gas consumption is very moderate considering the horse power and and performance. no need for anything else.

Huge car, good ride, for a heavy cruiser good gas mileage
Heater does not work, neither does a/c!
Excellent! — The car is roomy and floats over most road debris. I have owned this car for over five years and haven't really did much fixing to it, new brakes, tires, lights and changed the oil about every 3000 or so miles. The darn car has almost 250,000 and burns about 3 quarts of oil an oil change.

Big size, lots of room, comforfable.
Gas consumption, parking
It's A Lemonzine — The Lincoln Town Car is a very nice used car for the purposes we got it for. It is a very large comfortable family car. My only complaint is the mileage of this vehicle. A reliable car, with a a nice style too. Recently removed the air ride suspension after it failed the third time, and replaced it with a set of static springs.

Great Daily Driver — Good performace for its size and weight Excellence in a Lincoln no build problems 94 showing a little age here and there good milage low maintance This car was a mind blower beat out a couple of SUVs draggin!

I have also had a town car in 20 inches of snow with no problem with some weight in the trunk. Overall a tough, do it all car.

Smooth handeling, nice interior, good sound
Burns oil, parts are expensive.
1994 Lincoln Towncar Cartier — its my favorite car so far, had about 4 or 5 others. the lincoln performs beautifully, but burns a little oil. its a beauty, with chrome trim, leather interior, custom sound, aftermarket radio, smooth as silk suspension, and a great sound when you punch it. lovely ride. i recommend it to all who appreciate power and luxary.

1994 Lincoln Town Car Signature Review
The power is intense, and can get up to speed very quickly for the size and weight of the car. The interior, and stereo system (all stock) are of the highest quality. The power steering is so responsive and smooth you can comfortably control the vehicle with only your index finger. The brakes are very smooth and perfectly tuned for easy, smooth stopping.
The acceleration is a little touchy and is extremely responsive, which, for young drivers, can use up alot of gasoline with really quick acceleration, it takes some getting used to.
It Is Ok For An American Luxury Car. — its a really smooth ride, with amazing power steering that can only be matched by the extreme power boasted from its fuel injected v8 engine. you are sitting in the lap of luxury when you rest on the blue Italian leather interior and wood-grained trim. the trunk is very large and can come in handy on camping trips and long-distance travel. The back and front seats are extremely roomy and have enough space to fit 6 people (3 in the front, 3 in the back) comfortably. The gas use is pretty economical for a 2+ ton luxury sedan, getting about 17/23 mpg cty/hwy respectively.

Troy Williams feels violated.
"It was my social security number, my address, my student identification number and how much I owe in school loans."
The Cheyney University Freshman's vital information---along with the private information of hundreds of other current and former Cheyney students-- released in a 240-plus page e-mail.
School officials say the file was accidentally attached to a message sent to students Thursday.
"You trust them with that information," said Williams. They ask you that stuff for the application
and you trust them with that. It's like betraying your trust."
School officials aren't saying how many students were affected or whether the employee who sent the e-mail is being reprimanded.
They resleased a statment saying the university "deeply regrets the error"and told students "they're contracting with a credit company to prevent misuse of the information."
"I just dont feel safe," exclaimed Williams.
The 20-year-old's fear--rooted in experience.
Several years ago he says someone bought a house using his mother's credit after her identity was stolen.
The school is urging students to get a free credit check from all three major credit agencies.
Summer is not over just yet! Hot and humid conditions much of the week with temps in the 90's and upper 80's.
Summer is not over just yet! Today will be very hot and humid with high temperatures in the low to mid 90s and mostly sunny skies. A cold front will bring some thunderstorms tonight, some of which may be severe.

KILGORE, TX (KLTV) - Police still have no suspects in an overnight shooting that left an East Texas store clerk dead. The shooting happened at an adult video store on Industrial Avenue in Kilgore. Twenty-five year old, Renee Garrett, of Kilgore, deceased from a gunshot wound.
Police received a call from the Adult Video store manager saying that Renee called him about a questionable customer. Police arrived at the store too late, and found Garrett dead. Garrett's Aunt, Mary Isham, and other family members are in grief, and have a request for the murderer.
Isham said, "Why? Why did you do it? Please turn yourself in, it's the best thing to do, you didn't have to kill our baby."
Isham also mentioned that the Adult Video store did have cameras. However, they don't help much in this case. Isham said about police, " They said that whoever it was, knew where the cameras were, and they stayed out of view."
Police are still investigating the case. The Gregg County Video Corporation is giving a $10,000 dollar reward for information leading to an arrest, and Crime Stoppers are paying up to an additional $1,000.

Prima Scriptura
Prima Scriptura
N. Clayton Croy, Associate Professor of New Testament
Baker Publishing Group, May 2011
In Prima Scriptura Dr. Croy provides an engaging introduction to New Testament exegesis. He provides an accessible, holistic overview of the entire interpretive process, and argues that while Scripture occupies a place of primary importance in guiding faith and life, it does not do so in a vacuum. It operates in conjunction with 2,000 years of Christian tradition, Spirit-guided human reason, and experience. Scripture's authority is therefore primary but not exclusive. Dr. Croy begins with the preparation of the interpreter, proceeds to analysis of the text, and concludes with appropriation of the message of Scripture in the context of modern faith communities. He combines a step-by-step plan for historical exegesis with substantive discussion of broader hermeneutical issues.
Prima Scriptura interacts with recent scholarship and is academically rigorous, but is written in an engaging style, incorporating anecdotes, humor, scriptural illustrations, and examples of the practical payoff of disciplined interpretation. Each chapter includes discussion questions and suggestions for further reading. Professors and students in exegesis and hermeneutics courses will value this work.
Dr. Croy's previous books include a commentary on 3 Maccabees, The Mutilation of Mark's Gospel, and A Primer of Biblical Greek. He also contributed to the Dictionary of New Testament Backgrounds.

The African rift valley is one
of the most fascinating natural wonders, known for its unique biodiversity
and for being considered -for the important paleoanthropologic discoveries-
the "cradle of mankind", i.e. the place where our species
has evolved and diversified in the last millions of years. Characterized
by a system of linear valleys extending for thousands of kilometers,
the rift valley is a huge fracture on the surface of our planet
that progressively widens with time, tearing the eastern portion
of the African continent apart. It represents a geological wonder
where volcanism, earthquakes and fracturing of the Earth's crust
are the surface expressions of the enormous forces that shape our
planet. These web pages are dedicated to the analysis of the Ethiopian
sector of the African rift valley, an ideal natural laboratory to
analyze the evolution and dynamics of continental extension and
the rupture of lithospheric plates.

Other fun stuff with it
Sorry my bad, but why would somebody not want to go FF?
The 7D is a pleasure to use. It's a great camera. However, the high iso noise performance is not comparable to full frame camera's.
Images shot at iso 3200 and 6400 (please shoot RAW) need processing to reduce noise (Adobe Camera RAW does a great job) but are very usable unless (1) the images are underexposed or (2) you intend to print the images large.
For me the 7D has always delivered. Even at high iso's.
