The Aaronic Priesthood deals with the temporal and outward ordinances of the law and the gospel. It holds the keys of the ministering of angels, of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism. The Aaronic Priesthood was restored to the earth in this dispensation on May 15, 1829. John the Baptist conferred it on Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery on the banks of the Susquehanna River, near Harmony, Pennsylvania (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Aaronic Priesthood," 7–8).
Brigham Young was born June 1, 1801, in Whitingham, Vermont. In 1835 he was called to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. As successor to Joseph Smith, he led the migration west in 1846–47 to the Rocky Mountains and founded Salt Lake City. He was sustained as President of the Church on December 27, 1847. As Church President and Territorial Governor of Utah, he established Latter-day Saint settlements in Utah and throughout the American West. He died August 29, 1877, in Salt Lake City after nearly 30 years as Church President...
Jesus Christ is symbolized in the scriptures as the Bridegroom. The Church is His symbolic bride (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Bridegroom," 35).
One of the standard works of the Church. An account of God's dealings with the people of the American continents from about 2,200 years before the birth of Jesus Christ to 421 years after the death of Jesus Christ. It was translated from gold plates by Joseph Smith and contains the fulness of the gospel (Gospel Principles, 377).
Joseph and Hyrum Smith were murdered by a mob on June 27, 1844, at the jail in Carthage, Illinois, United States of America (see D&C 135; The Guide to the Scriptures, "Carthage Jail," 38).
A collection of latter-day divine revelations and inspired declarations. The Lord gave these to Joseph Smith and several of his successors for the establishment and regulation of the kingdom of God on the earth in the last days. The Doctrine and Covenants is one of the standard works of scripture in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, along with the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Pearl of Great Price (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Doctrine and Covenants," 68).
A prophet who led the people of the city of Zion. Zion was taken to heaven because of the righteousness of those who lived in it (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Enoch," 74).
Wife of the Prophet Joseph Smith. The Lord commanded Emma to make a selection of hymns for the Church. She also served as the first president of the Relief Society (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Smith, Emma Hale," 229–30).
An Old Testament prophet who returned in the latter days to confer the keys of the sealing power on Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. The power of Elijah is the sealing power of the priesthood by which things that are bound or loosed on earth are bound or loosed in heaven (see D&C 128: 8–18). Chosen servants of the Lord on earth today have this sealing power and perform the saving ordinances of the gospel for the living and the dead (see D&C 128:8; The Guide to the Scriptures, "Elijah," 72–73).
There are several uses for the name or title Elias, including (1) the New Testament (Greek) form of Elijah (see Matthew 17:3–4); (2) as a forerunner, such as John the Baptist (see Matthew 17:12–13); (3) as a restorer, such as John the Revelator (see D&C 77:14) or Gabriel (see Luke 1:11–20; D&C 27:7); as the name of a prophet who lived at the same time as Abraham (see D&C 84:11–13; 110:12; The Guide to the Scriptures, "Elias," 72).
The President of the Church and his Counselors. They are a quorum of three high priests and preside over the whole Church. The First Presidency holds all the keys of the priesthood (Guide to the Scriptures, First Presidency).
The meeting in heaven in which Heavenly Father announced the plan of salvation and chose Jesus Christ as our Redeemer ( Gospel Principles, 377).
The gospel of Jesus Christ in all its fulness is, quite simply, all the knowledge, ordinances, and authority necessary to secure the exaltation of God's children.
God's plan of salvation, made possible through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. The gospel includes the eternal truths or laws, covenants, and ordinances needed for mankind to enter back into the presence of God. God restored the fulness of the gospel to the earth in the nineteenth century through the Prophet Joseph Smith (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Gospel," 96–97).
Born in Salt Lake City on June 23, 1910, Gordon B. Hinckley was called to be an Apostle in 1961. Since becoming Church President on March 12, 1995, he has directed the most intense temple building program in the history of the Church in an effort to extend temple blessings to more members. He has exhibited vitality and energy as he has traveled about the world meeting and speaking to members of the Church. Through television interviews and national press publications, he has increased media attention and improved the public image of the Church. He has counseled Church members to fellowship new converts, befriend members of other faiths, live exemplary lives, and avoid the evils of the world.
George Albert Smith was born on April 4, 1870, in Salt Lake City. His father, John Henry Smith, and grandfather, George A. Smith, had both been counselors to Church Presidents. He became President of the Church on May 21, 1945. After six years as President, George Albert Smith died in Salt Lake City on his 81st birthday, April 4, 1951.
An older brother and faithful associate of Joseph Smith. Hyrum was born on February 9, 1800. He served as an assistant to Joseph in the Church presidency, as well as being the second Patriarch to the Church. On June 27, 1844, he became a fellow martyr with Joseph in Carthage Jail (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Smith, Hyrum," 230).
The third member of the Godhead (1 John 5: 7; D&C 20: 28). He is a personage of Spirit, not having a body of flesh and bones (D&C 130: 22). The Holy Ghost is often referred to as the Spirit, or the Spirit of God. The power of the Holy Ghost can come upon a person before baptism and witness that the gospel is true. But the right to have the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost, whenever one is worthy, is a gift that can be received only by the laying on of hands by a Melchizedek Priesthood holder after authorized baptism into the true Church of Jesus Christ (Guide to the Scriptures, Holy Ghost).
Born June 14, 1801, in Sheldon, Vermont, Heber C. Kimball became one of the first Apostles in this dispensation on February 14, 1835. He opened the preaching of the gospel in England in 1837 and later served as a counselor to Brigham Young. He died in Salt Lake City, Utah, on June 22, 1868.
A revision or translation of the King James Version of the Bible in English, which the Prophet Joseph Smith began in June 1830. He was commanded by God to make the translation and regarded it as part of his calling as a prophet. The Joseph Smith Translation has restored some of the plain and precious things that have been lost from the Bible (see 1 Nephi 13). Although it is not the official Bible of the Church, this translation does offer many interesting insights and is very valuable in understanding the Bible. It is also a witness for the divine calling and ministry of the Prophet Joseph Smith (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Joseph Smith Translation [JST]," 136–37).
The Clay County jail at Liberty, Missouri, in which the Prophet Joseph Smith and others were unjustly imprisoned from December 1838 to April 1839.
An Old Testament prophet who led the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage. Moses appeared to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery on April 3, 1836, in the temple in Kirtland, Ohio, and conferred on them the keys of the gathering of Israel (see D&C 110: 11; The Guide to the Scriptures, "Moses," 168–169).
The last Nephite prophet in the Book of Mormon (circa A.D. 421). In 1823 Moroni was sent as a resurrected being to reveal the Book of Mormon to Joseph Smith and finally delivered the plates to him in 1827 (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Moroni, Son of Mormon," 167–68).
The Melchizedek Priesthood is the higher or greater priesthood. It includes the keys of the spiritual blessings of the Church. Through the ordinances of the higher priesthood, the power of godliness is made manifest to men (see D&C 84:18–25; 107:18–21). The President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the president of the high or Melchizedek Priesthood, and he holds all the keys that pertain to the kingdom of God on the earth (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Melchizedek Priesthood," 161–62).
An Old Testament prophet who lived about 430 B.C., Malachi foretold the time when the Lord would restore His temple and visit His people there (see Malachi 3:1). He also prophesied that Elijah would come to restore the keys of turning the hearts of generations toward one another.
The second elder of the restored Church and one of the Three Witnesses to the divine origin and truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. He acted as scribe while Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon from the gold plates (see Joseph Smith—History 1:66–68; The Guide to the Scriptures, "Cowdery, Oliver," 56).
Today the President of the High Priesthood is the President of the Church and the presiding high priest upon the earth.
The Pearl of Great Price is the name given to one of four volumes of scripture called the "standard works" of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The first edition of the Pearl of Great Price was published in 1851 and contained some material that is now in the Doctrine and Covenants. Editions published since 1902 contain (1) excerpts from Joseph Smith's translation of Genesis, called the book of Moses, and of Matthew 24, called Joseph Smith—Matthew; (2) Joseph Smith's translation of some Egyptian papyrus that he obtained in 1835, called the book of Abraham; (3) an excerpt from Joseph Smith's history of the Church that he wrote in 1838, called Joseph Smith—History; and (4) the Articles of Faith, thirteen statements of belief and doctrine (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Pearl of Great Price," 189).
An organization founded by the Prophet Joseph Smith on March 17, 1842, to provide relief for the poor and needy and to save souls ( True to the Faith, "Relief Society," 130).
The third member of the Godhead (see 1 John 5:7; D&C 20:28). He is a personage of Spirit, not having a body of flesh and bones (see D&C 130:22). The Holy Ghost is often referred to as the Spirit, or the Spirit of God. The power of the Holy Ghost can come upon a person before baptism and witness that the gospel is true. But the right to have the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost, whenever one is worthy, is a gift that can be received only by the laying on of hands by a Melchizedek Priesthood holder after authorized baptism into the true Church of Jesus Christ (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Holy Ghost," 113–14).
A title that Jesus Christ used when speaking of Himself (see Luke 9:22; Luke 21:36). It meant the Son of the Man of Holiness. Man of Holiness is one of the names of God the Father. When Jesus called Himself the Son of Man, it was an open declaration of His divine relationship with the Father. This title is found frequently in the Gospels. Latter-day revelation confirms the special meaning and sacredness of this name of the Savior (D&C 45:39; 49:6, 22; 58:65; Moses 6:57; The Guide to the Scriptures, "Son of Man," 232).
A faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Saint," 215–16).
Literally the house of the Lord. The Lord has always commanded his people to build temples, holy buildings in which worthy Saints perform sacred ceremonies and ordinances of the gospel for themselves and for the dead. The Lord visits his temples, and they are the most holy of all places of worship. Building and using a temple properly are signs of the true Church in any dispensation, including the restored Church in our day. The Kirtland Temple was the first temple built and dedicated to the Lord in this dispensation. Since that time temples have been dedicated in many lands across the earth (Guide to the Scriptures, Temple/House of the Lord).
An early member and leader in the Church after it was restored in 1830. The Lord called William Phelps to be a printer for the Church (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Phelps, William W.," 192).
An Apostle in the Church and a first counselor to Joseph Fielding, president of the British mission. He was ordained on April 14, 1840, being the first and only Apostle ordained outside the United States ( Church History in the Fulness of Times, 654).
Born March 1, 1807, and raised in Connecticut, Wilford Woodruff joined the Church in 1833 and served two missions before being ordained an Apostle in 1839. He was sustained as Church President on April 7, 1889. He died on September 2, 1898.
The pure in heart (D&C 97: 21). Zion also means a place where the pure in heart live. In the latter-days a city named Zion will be built near Jackson County, Missouri (United States of America), to which the tribes of Israel will gather (D&C 103: 11–22; 133: 18). The Saints are counseled to build up Zion wherever they are living in the world (Guide to the Scriptures, Zion).

September 14, 2011 Where to find Marketing Career Opportunities [DMA11]
There's an old saying that tells us "No man is an island." There are also a handful of popular songs that remind us of the same thing, but not a single one of them will help you forge marketing career opportunities if you're not willing to stop tapping your feet to the rhythm and start moving them ahead, one step at a time.
Just as no single person is an island, neither is any company, regardless of its size. Networking isn't just for the up and coming and those whose LinkedIn contact lists are abysmally small. Even giant corporations do their share of networking, which should be enough to tell you exactly what you need to know in order to be able to spot and take advantage of marketing career opportunities. But where's the best place to start?
Industry events, trade shows, and conferences will all provide you with ample opportunity to not only meet with thousands of people like yourself, but also to come into contact with representatives of marketing corporations who are always on the lookout for new talent and new relationships. If you're involved in direct marketing – whether your forte is email, mobile, social media, print, radio, TV, or traditional mail – attending the DMA2011 (Direct Marketing Association) Conference & Exhibition is a great resource to discover new marketing career opportunities you otherwise wouldn't have known existed.

Richmond sharpen up for tough start
1:00pm Monday 2nd September 2013 in Sport
Richmond completed their pre-season practice programme with 29-10 triumph at Division Two South promotion hopefuls Hartpury College.
The College side featured a mix of talented young rugby students, leavened with some wise older heads including old Richmond favourite Darren Crompton.
The game was played on firm ground with the temperature in the low 20s and both sides threw the ball around at every opportunity, providing a stern test of fitness in addition to all the familiar challenges of integrating new players.
Richmond started convincingly and totally dominated the first fifteen minutes.
Their first score was created down the left touchline by some good interplay between Rob Kirby(ex-Esher) and Robert Alexander(ex-Blackheath) and was neatly finished by skipper Will Warden, as ever leading from the front.
However Hartpury gradually picked up the pace and, with Richmond too often coughing up possession, were good value for an equalising try after twenty minutes, Jaike Carter finishing off an attack which brushed off too many unconvincing early season tackles.
Three minutes before half time, Richmond at last used a more muscular approach to breach the Hartpury defence, Danny Parkinson picking and driving over after good work from his fellow forwards.
Frustratingly the good work was slightly undone by the concession of a soft penalty in the next minute, Tim Stevenson bringing the score at half time to 10-12.
A much changed Richmond side came out for the second half and again started in very commanding mode, Harison Edwards scoring twice in the first five minutes.
Picking up the pace and running more directly, the forwards set up the first try, Warden, Davies and Edwards all contributing and the second try was created by a swerving break from Matt Keville, Edwards completing the move well with some neat footwork.
Unsurprisingly the game continued to mix the very good with the indifferent as new combinations were established and individuals sought to press their claims for league selection.
The flow of the game was not helped by a 'team' yellow card to Greg Drew(ex-Teddington) and the consequence of uncontested scrums, which did seem a nonsense in a practice game.
Nevertheless Jamie Gibbs demonstrated some lovely skill in covering and setting up a counter attack and one tackle from skipper Warden must have been felt throughout the county.
The only other score of the game came from James Greenwood, who followed up a kick ahead to score his first try of the season as the ball bobbled obligingly.
The stage is now set for the first game of the season against local rivals Esher, who had a tough afternoon at the Athletic Ground, losing to the London Scottish by 81-12.
Director of Rugby Steve Hill commented: "This was a valuable run out for the whole first team squad as Hartpury are a very well drilled outfit.
"The performance was a significant improvement on seven days ago and we are now looking forward to the end of the phoney war and the beginning of the real battles.
"The RFU have given us an incredibly tough start, but I know all the players relish the challenge ahead."
Tries: Warden, Parkinson, Edwards(2), Greenwood
Conversions: Grimoldby(2)
Team: R.Kirby(T.Platt), R.Alexander(J.Rossiter), N.Moore(C.Incledon), M.Keville, M.Freeman( J. Greenwood), L.Grimolby, P.Nash(J.Gibbs), J.Gethings( J.Doherty), J.Phipps(G.Drew), D.Parkinson, W.Warden, C.Lenygon(C.Davies), T.George(R.O'Sullivan), H.Edwards, S.Ackroyd( R.Halsall)..

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Urban Meyer's first Big Ten game as Ohio State coach turned out to be a classic welcome to the conference.
His quarterback got shaken up twice, but Braxton Miller kept coming back on the field, and in the end the Buckeyes played just well enough defensively to come away with a bruising victory.

"This was a war. This was two sledgehammers going at each other," Meyer said. "I know the Big Ten has taken some heat. That was a great game. Great atmosphere, a bunch of great players on the field that are going to be playing at the next level, and that was good for college football and good for the Big Ten."
Miller threw for 179 yards and ran for 136, and No. 14 Ohio State held off No. 20 Michigan State 17-16 on Saturday. Miller put Ohio State ahead 17-13 with a 63-yard touchdown pass to Devin Smith in the third quarter, and the Buckeyes' maligned defense held Le'Veon Bell and the Michigan State running game in check.
Meyer becomes the third coach to start 5-0 in his first season at Ohio State. Carol Widdoes and Earle Bruce also did it in 1944 and 1979.
Michigan State (3-2, 0-1) has lost four home games in a row against Ohio State.
The Buckeyes (5-0, 1-0) aren't eligible to win the Big Ten title because of sanctions, but they handed the Spartans an early loss.
Michigan State took a 13-10 advantage in the third on a terrific individual effort by Keith Mumphery. With the ball on the Ohio State 29 after a personal foul call on the Buckeyes, Mumphery took Andrew Maxwell's short pass and eluded four tacklers before dragging a couple more Buckeyes into the end zone.
The lead didn't last long. Miller managed to pick up a first down, just barely, with a run on third-and-1, then lofted a deep pass on the next play to Smith, who beat Johnny Adams along the right sideline to put Ohio State ahead to stay.
"We hook up all the time," Miller said. "That's one of my favorite receivers, so I'm always going to look for him."
Miller turned the ball over three times in Michigan State territory, including a fumble early in the fourth - but the Buckeyes actually caught a break on that play. The ball bounced right to Kurtis Drummond of the Spartans, who began running down the right sideline before the play was blown dead and Miller was ruled down.
The call was reversed after a review, giving Michigan State the ball at its own 32 - but the Buckeyes were saved from a big return that would almost surely have followed if the call had been correct to begin with.
The Buckeyes then appeared to have stopped the Spartans when Maxwell underthrew a pass on fourth-and-1 from the Ohio State 44, but Travis Howard was called for defensive holding on the opposite side of the field, keeping the drive alive.
Dan Conroy's 48-yard field goal pulled Michigan State within a point with 7:07 remaining.
Miller remained down holding his left knee after his fumble but was able to come back the next time Ohio State had the ball. The Spartans forced a three-and-out anyway and took over at their own 20 with 5:39 left, down 17-16.
They could manage only one first down before having to punt, and they never got the ball back.
Miller was 16 of 23 with an interception. Maxwell went 22 of 42 for 269 yards.
"Braxton Miller is a very exciting player," Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said. "We knew that coming into the game. He took a lot of bad plays and made them good ones. ... I thought Maxwell played well enough to win. He threw the ball very effectively."
Bell came in with 610 yards on 117 carries, but he ran for only 45 yards against Ohio State. The Buckeyes' defense was ranked last in the Big Ten before the game.
"A great team win," Meyer said. "We found out something about our team today, to go on the road in a hostile environment against a quality, quality football team and find a way to win."
Ohio State drove 75 yards in eight plays to open the game, taking a 7-0 lead on Jordan Hall's 1-yard scoring run. Miller had runs of 20 and 13 yards on the drive, but he was hit along the sideline at the end of the latter one and was shaken up.
He had to leave the game but was back for his team's next possession.
The Spartans answered immediately with a 34-yard field goal by Conroy, and that was all the scoring for the half. Miller threw an interception and lost a fumble in second quarter, but Conroy missed a 42-yard attempt in the final minute.

BAND AID – "Do They Know It's Christmas"
"Do They Know It's Christmas" is significant in one way, and insignificant in another. First, it raised a lot of awareness and money and established the pop single as an excellent mechanism for doing those things. This was significant. Gargantuan "supergroups" like this fell out of favour but charity records will be a constant from here on.
This isn't an unalloyed good, and not just because most of the records are atrocious: private charity can generally do very little about the root and structural causes of bad situations, and Band Aid's chosen name is a dark pun. Band Aid – and subsequently Live Aid – provided a readymade narrative of success: a way to give the famine story a happy ending. The Ethiopian famine set the tone for media coverage of Africa as a failed continent: a basket case constantly requiring the help of Western governments and citizens.
But it would be absurd to have expected Geldof and Ure to be able to change this, and wrong to have preferred that they did nothing. They did their best, it was a very good best, and there are individuals alive now who would not be if it wasn't for this single, which isn't something I can say with confidence of "Mouldy Old Dough". However, feeding the world is well outside what I'd generally expect pop to do – so this whole introductory hand-wring is a way of saying that I'll be listening to charity records as records, not as charities.
And as a record, "Do They Know It's Christmas?" has stuck it out better than I thought it would, mostly because it's become a record about Christmas, not a record about tragedy. As a record about tragedy it's notoriously heavy handed, but heavy-handedness is exactly what Christmas hits thrive on. It starts with a lift from Joy Division's "Atmosphere" and then gets jauntier and jauntier until by the end it's positively festive. Because I'm lucky enough to enjoy Christmas, and because this record came out when I was small and enjoyed it even more, the main feeling I get from "Do They Know It's Christmas" is one of immense well-being and the sense that all is right in the world.
The cognitive dissonance works because it's what the song's very clearly about: "Here's to you – raise a glass to everyone! Here's to them – UNDERNEATH THE BURNING SUN!" (a line that always makes me imagine the song as a comic strip). So the more "Christmas" turns into a drunken singalong, the more we giggle at the scratched-up, awkward greetings on the 12″, the more we bellow out That Line, the guiltier we then feel, and the more we give. Well, that's the theory. Since the recording session turned into a massive party when Francis Rossi got his bag of coke out, it's fair to say that the song's immense capability for inappropriate bonhomie has been coded in from the start.
The main contemporary criticism of Band Aid – voiced by Chumbawamba, but also by every playground cynic – is that the stars involved were doing it for the sake of their careers. This is surely completely true, but that's how celebrity charity operates. It's also worth pointing out that from this perspective the Band Aid single didn't actually work: it's not just Marilyn whose career headed dumperwards. This is where "Do They Know It's Christmas" is insignificant: it felt and looked like the sealing of pop's new establishment, when in fact it was their peak. The bands split, faded, took ill-advised sabbaticals, leaving U2 and George Michael the great survivors. Within only a couple of years the British pop landscape would look very different.

Hi William, it's been a while. Thank you for adding the picture of my uncle's headstone. We were very close & I haven't been able to go back to his grave site since my aunt added the marker. I'm curious about the DOB - my uncle always listed his birthday as 8/1/1931. The marker has 1/28/1931. It may be a mistake by my aunt or the Army/Air Force, OR 1/28 may be the birth date he made up when he enlisted. I will find his DD-214 & let you know how I solved the mystery. Thanks again for all of your hard work and kindness... Merry Christmas!

William, thank you for getting the photos for Gail and Thomas. Hope it wasn't hard for Thomas, he went by his middle name Andrew and not Thomas. Until I saw the memorial I didn't realize he had Andrew on memorial marker. Thanks again.

This is a fun shirt to sport at the bar or for some daytime strolling about the town. It could be a little more fitted, but it is stylish nonetheless. The tiki style accents are just the right size to catch some attention.

Maybe someone at your school has cerebral palsy - or maybe you have it and you've been dealing with it your whole life. At a time when you're more conscious of your appearance and body image , it can be tough to be in a wheelchair or to have people tease you about the way you walk. But having cerebral palsy doesn't mean a girl or guy can't do what other teens do.
Cerebral palsy, or CP for short, is the most common developmental disability in the United States. More than 500,000 people in the United States have CP. Every year, almost 5,000 babies and infants are diagnosed with the condition.
Cerebral palsy (pronounced: seh- ree -brul pawl -zee) usually is a congenital (pronounced: kun- jen -ih-tul) disorder, which means that it's a problem that develops before or at birth. It also can result from brain damage that occurs in the first few months or years after birth.
Cerebral palsy is a disorder of the brain that affects a person's ability to coordinate body movements. (This ability is referred to as motor skills .) The condition also affects muscle tone.
The three types of cerebral palsy are: spastic, athetoid, and ataxic.
People can have one or more of three different forms of CP:
The most common mixed form of CP is a combination of the spastic and athetoid types.
Because cerebral palsy affects muscle control, people with CP may have problems walking or eating. Some have learning disabilities or behavior problems, but many do not. Some also have other medical problems, such as seizures or epilepsy , hearing impairment, and speech problems.
In most cases, doctors don't know exactly what causes CP, but they do know that it's caused by damage to the brain - either while a baby is in the womb or as a result of brain damage in the first few months or years after the baby is born. If a baby is very underweight at birth or doesn't receive enough oxygen during or right after birth, the risk of CP is increased. Babies who weigh less than 31/2 pounds or who are born prematurely are at risk for developing CP. The lower the birth weight, the higher the risk.
CP isn't contagious: A person can't get it from someone who has it or pass it to someone else. Even a mother with CP can't pass it on to her unborn baby. Cerebral palsy also isn't progressive , which means that it won't become worse over time.
CP is usually diagnosed when a child is very young. By the teen years, someone with CP will probably already know he or she has the condition.
Sometimes a doctor suspects an infant has CP if the baby was premature and had complications shortly before or after birth, such as bleeding inside the brain or lung problems. Doctors may also consider CP a possibility if a baby doesn't sit up or begin to walk by a certain age. (Doctors call these important skills and others like them developmental milestones because they mark different stages of a baby's development.)
Doctors can't check for CP with a blood test or a urine test. Sometimes, though, a doctor will do these tests to be sure that some other condition is not causing the symptoms. Tests that scan the brain, such as a CT scan or MRI, may be used to detect a damaged area of the brain. A doctor may order an electroencephalogram (pronounced: eh- lek -tro-en- seh- fuh-lo-gram, also called an EEG) for kids with seizures. An EEG uses electrodes placed on the scalp to record the brain's electrical currents. To diagnose CP, a doctor must do a complete examination, paying close attention to muscle tone and strength, reflexes, and coordination.
Because CP affects each individual differently, there are lots of ways to treat and manage it. A person's doctors, parents, teachers, and therapists all work together to develop a treatment plan that best suits someone's individual needs.
Some teens have only mild problems with movement. Others, though, need crutches or wheelchairs to get around. Teens with CP may go to physical therapy for help with movement problems. They also may go to occupational therapy for help with skills like handwriting or speech therapy for help with speech problems.
Some teens may have surgery or be given leg braces as part of their treatment. And teens with CP often take medicine to help control related conditions, like seizures.
Puberty can be a difficult time, but it may be especially challenging for teens with CP. Rapid growth can cause weight gain and clumsiness in any teen, but can make it even more difficult for someone with CP to move around. A person's muscles can also become tighter as the bones grow, which can restrict movement even more.
What can teens with CP do? That depends on the type of CP a person has. Some people are affected mildly, others more widely. But many guys and girls with CP can do the same sorts of things that other teens do, like enjoying extracurricular activities, listening to or playing music, hanging out with friends, reading, going to the mall, and dating, to name just a few.
If you're wondering how to treat someone with CP, treat that person the way you would anyone else - with courtesy and respect. Some people with CP might need extra help once in a while, like when reaching for something. If that seems to be the case, you might want to offer to help. And if you have a friend with CP, don't be afraid to talk to your friend about it.
Teens with CP have the same feelings and emotions other guys and girls do. Everyone wants to feel like they fit in, and being in a wheelchair or having other physical problems can make someone feel self-conscious or left out. So if you know someone with CP, try to make that person feel welcome.
And if you have CP, remember that lots of other people out there are dealing with it, too. It might not be fun to feel different sometimes, but look at everything you do and enjoy and you'll probably discover you're not really that different from other teens.

-- -- so you're not.
I -- that this is off to -- -- it's not up to the races it's off to a slow trot.
Protect you gotta remember housing prices are recovering starts are doing better foreclosures are declining in terms foreclosure starts completions rising.
You gotta remember home prices still so almost 17% below the 2007 peak.
We've got almost 20% of all sales have been cash purchases 27% of all sales and last year were investor properties.
There's still constraints on credit availability the securitization market is still shut down -- -- demographic problems ahead of us first time homebuyers saddled with over trillion dollars of student debt.
The baby boomers who historically were.
You know though the biggest part of consumption are moving to retirement often times stuck in homes that have negative equities I can't sell those who do.
The retirement community.
-- so we are recovering.
It's a slow recovery and it will remain a slow recovery we've got some balances and some of those balances are.
That we've had foreclosure moratoriums which -- kept inventories depressed.
We've got the banks which had been slow to build the Oreo the real state owned because of lack of foreclosures finally building those at some point those are gonna come to market.
And so right now there's an imbalance which is supporting a lack of properties and a good number of buyers at some point we're gonna start seeing that moderating.
Answer -- we throw in the whole FHA which you know drug that most of the loans these days are from Fannie and Freddie right.
SA today -- right mode hello terrific that the -- FHA right so you you have.
Between Fannie Freddie and FHA atop big you know trifecta of a -- that's -- and throw that into the mix.
Absolutely threw that into the mix you've got FHA who's underwriting standards have been abysmal right allowing 3% down payments which has resulted in.
Huge losses that are coming through the pipeline now.
You've got Fannie and Freddie which since they were -- conservative ship have tightened their underwriting standards so dramatically.

Sung is the real deal, a program changer, an inspirational leader who is finally getting the attention she deserves from the Houston Chronicle and finally, a few days before the 2013 election, is being seen as a real threat. The clincher for the local editorial hacks is, of course, financial: Anne Sung has outraised Harvin Moore. Moore still has more money in his campaign coffers. Looks like he never really expected a competitive race. HISD's media guru Jason Spencer headed to Aldine ISD WATCH THE SCHOOL BOARD RACE IN HOUSTON | |||||

It also showed the pci latency for the former was 32 and the latter 66. The VGA controller is currently running in text mode, without the atyfb module loaded, and with nothing happening on it (it just has the text login prompt dislayed), and changing its latency up or down makes no difference to disk speed (not shown in the files cited above). The machine was started once with the VGA jumpered off, but it didn't boot, so it wasn't possible to completely remove it from the equation. However, increasing the pci_latency on the Sil 3114 as far as it would go (to 144 as shown in lspci) with setpci -s '01:07.0' latency_timer=99 made a considerable difference. For the older disk it brought it up to approximately the same speed as on the nvidia ck804 controller. For the WD10EARS it sped things up about 50%, but didn't manage to match the nvidia controller, possibly because of the absence of the ncq mentioned previously in this thread. Also on the 3114 it topped out at around 106MB/sec for the fastest bonnie++ applications, and that is pretty close to the 132MB/s limit on the 32 bit PCI bus, whereas on the ck804 peaks were 140MB/s, which would be more than the bus can carry. Assuming the PCI on the Arima board is really 33 MHz, like the manual says, and not 66 MHz, as lspci reports. Vibration may still be playing some role, but apparently that wasn't the primary problem. I may still put in a PCI-X SATA controller though, as there is still another 40% performance to go on the WD drive, and that will provide enough bus bandwidth to support that.

Inspired by real events, writer/director Larysa Kondracki's intense docudrama tells the tale of an American policewoman who uncovers evidence of human trafficking while assisting a U.N. peacekeeping mission in Bosnia. Nebraska cop Kathy Bolkovac (Rachel Weisz) is caught in the middle of a vicious custody battle with her ex-husband when she seizes the opportunity to make a quick 100,000 dollars tax-free by spending six months in Bosnia as a U.N. peacekeeper. Shortly after Kathy arrives in Bosnia, Human Rights Commission head Madeleine Rees (Vanessa Redgrave) promotes her to the U.N.'s Gender Office, where she begins studying sexual-assault cases. But when Kathy discovers that her fellow peacekeepers are involved in a human-trafficking ring, the ensuing controversy makes her the target of some very powerful -- and incredibly ruthless -- people. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A Serbian Film
Filmmaker Srdjan Spasojevic pushes the boundaries of what can (or should) be shown onscreen in this violent and malignly erotic thriller. Milos (Srdjan Todorovic) was once a star in pornographic movies, well known for his ability to perform longer than any of his peers, but he gave up his career and now lives a quiet life with his wife and young son. Milos has been having serious money problems and wants to better provide for his family, so when an old friend tells him about a wealthy filmmaker who'd like to work with him, he's willing to listen. Vukmir (Sergej Trifunovic) is a mysterious man who offers to pay Milos a huge sum to appear in his next film -- enough to support his family for life. Milos agrees, even though Vukmir won't tell him what the movie is about. Not long after Milos arrives on set, he realizes this will not be an ordinary porn film, and as he's dosed with drugs and led from one extreme of sex, violence, and human debasement to another, Milos becomes aware that his physical and emotional survival is being put to the ultimate test. Srpski Film (aka A Serbian Film) generated no small amount of controversy following its first American screenings at the 2010 South by Southwest Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

An assassin posing as a trade-show producer fixes his crosshairs on a Middle Eastern oil minister while maintaining his cover by organizing a high-profile wedding in this satirical action comedy starring John Cusack, Hilary Duff, and Marisa Tomei. A private American corporation run by a former U.S. vice president (Dan Aykroyd) is occupying the war-torn nation of Turaqistan, but a powerful Middle Eastern oil minister is preventing them from taking total advantage of the situation. In order to gain a monopoly on the lucrative opportunities that Turaqistan has to offer, the CEO of the corporation hires an evenhanded hitman named Hauser (Cusack) to take the oil minister out of the picture. Now, in order to carry out the contract without a hitch, Hauser will pose as the corporation's trade-show producer. The stakes are high and the potential for disaster is evident, though if Hauser can successfully organize the wedding of Central Asian pop-star Yonica Babyyeah (Duff), he's got a good chance of pulling it off. But sexy and resourceful left-wing reporter Natalie Hegalhuzen (Tomei) is determined to uncover the truth about what's happening in Turaqistan, and the moment she does, this carefully constructed scheme will crumble like a house of cards. Joshua Seftel directs a screenplay co-written by Mark Leyner, Jeremy Pikser, and producer/star John Cusack. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A man with the ability to see the future and change the outcome of events before they occur is forced to choose between saving himself and saving the world in this supernatural thriller starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Lee Tamahori (Die Another Day, The Edge). Cris Johnson (Cage) is a Las Vegas magician who possesses the unique ability to witness the events of the immediate future moments before they happen. As a child Cris was subjected to a series of cruel experiments by government scientists and doctors, but a change of name and a new identity allowed the tortured psychic to elude detection and start a new life away from the prying eyes of his former captors. Though his clairvoyant vision only extends a few minutes into the future, it has still allowed Cris to eke out a living as a low-rent Las Vegas magician while earning a little extra cash at the blackjack tables. Up to this point in his life Cris has never used his power for anything substantial, but when he experiences a vision of Los Angeles being incinerated in a nuclear holocaust, the small-time magician realizes that he could hold the key to saving millions of lives. But as low as he has tried to lie in recent years, Cris has never completely escaped detection by the government. Now, as terrorists prepare to unleash the ultimate horror on an unsuspecting city, FBI counter terror agent Callie Ferris (Julianne Moore) sets out to capture Cris and convince him to use his exceptional gift to prevent the nuclear nightmare from becoming a terrifying reality. Jessica Biel, Peter Falk, and Thomas Kretschmann co-star in the film, which is based on a short story by acclaimed sci-fi author Philip K. Dick. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An emotionally devastated war veteran sets out to spread happiness across Bosnia after his friends spark a melee that leaves all but him dead in first-time Sarajevan director Antonio Nuic's deliberately-paced comedy drama. Every day Goran (Rakan Rushaidat) pass the time by drinking their worries away in the local watering hole. When a bitter dispute arises and Goran proves the sole survivor of the deadly fight that follows, he sells his parent's home, purchases a refreshment truck, and sets out to provide free soft drinks and grappa to anyone who asks. Goran's pledge never to spend two nights in the same town is soon challenged, however, when the grieving veteran falls for a pretty woman (Natasa Janjic) who has also been scarred by a tragic loss. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Border Post
Emir Hadzihafisbegovic stars in Croatian writer-director Rajko Grlic's madcap farce Border Post (AKA Karaula) as Lt. Pasic, a soldier in the Yugoslav army stationed on the border between Albania and Macedonia, circa 1987. Constantly drunk and dissatisfied with life, he suddenly feels a shooting pain in his gonads, and consults one of his subordinates, the enlisted medical student Siriscevic (Toni Gojanovic. Siriscevic promptly diagnoses the condition as syphilis, which Pasic, it seems, contracted from a local hooker. Pasic forces the young officer to prescribe an antidote for him, but it will take three weeks. In need of an excuse for his inability to return home and make love to his wife, Mirjana (Verica Nedeska-Trajkova), the lieutenant concocts the story of a militia conflict: an imminent attack from the Albanian army that is forcing all of the troops to remain on guard. He shuttles Siriscevic to Mirjana, to tell the woman this story, but in the interim, Pasic must back up his words by actually declaring a state of emergency - which sends soldiers into a state of near hysteria - scurrying into battle and digging trenches - and thus threatens to ignite a legitimate international crisis. Meanwhile, as Siriscevic embarks on additional errands to Mrs. Pasic, transporting one message after another in-between the woman and her husband, an affair blossoms between them, unbeknownst to the lieutenant. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

A reluctant Yugoslav hitman working in New York City finds his fate inescapably tied with that of his ex-wife and her law-enforcing current boyfriend in director Vladan Nikolic's contemplative character study in which all reality is subjective. An orphan from Bosnia who has been forced to assume the role of killer for hire by a blackmailing former covert-operations agent, the man known as Uncle Vanya (Sergej Trifunovic) is told that he must complete one final job before he is permitted to retire. When the simple money-for-drugs deal goes south and Uncle Vanya is forced to take a hostage, an already complicated situation takes a further turn for the worse when it's revealed that Uncle Vanya's hostage is none other than his former wife, Anna (Geno Lechner). As Anna's current boyfriend uses his police authority to close in on the pair and Uncle Vanya's enraged boss dispatches his bumbling thugs to scour the city for the killer-in-hiding, Uncle Vanya and Anna attempt to reconcile their past while begrudgingly acknowledging that a future together is impossible. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Directed and written by Dusan Kovacevic, Profesionalac (The Professional) is set against the backdrop of what made up the former Yugoslavian territories circa the mid-'90s. The story centers around gruff Luka (Bora Todorovic), who claims to have been a State Security Police shadow during the fall of the Milosevic regime. His host, Teja (Branislav Lecic), has come to represent everything Luka despises, not just concerning Yugoslavia, but within his own individual existence. The two confront one another in a surreal montage of archival news footage and personal flashbacks. Profesionalac marks the directorial debut for Kovacevic, and received a positive reception at the Montreal World Film Festival. The film also features Natasa Ninkovic, Dragan Jovanovic, Josif Tatic, Miodrag-Miki Krstovic, Renata Ulmanski, Milos Stojanovic, Gorica Popovic, Ljiljana Dragutinovic, Dana Todorovic, and Sergej Trifunovic. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

New York City may be the city that never sleeps, but that means some people have to stay awake all night to look after the folks whose days begin after the sun goes down; this made-for-premium-cable drama looks at a group of cabbies trying to get by while working the night shift. The Lady Luck Cab Company is a taxi service run by Box (Sarita Choudhury), who inherited the failing business from her late father and is struggling to keep it afloat against long economic odds as Lady Luck's drivers work long shifts in some of the Big Apple's less picturesque neighborhoods. Hershey (Danny Glover), one of Lady Luck's drivers, was once a professional boxer, but when his athletic career went south, so did his wife, and now he drives a hack while trying to romance George (Pam Grier), a good-looking waitress who likes Hershey, but is frustrated with his schedule, which rarely allows him a night off. This is bad news for Hershey, since Ralph (Paul Calderon), a regular at the diner where George works, has been making a play for her as well. Another driver, Salgado (Michelle Rodriguez), is a short-fused Latin American woman who is frequently the victim of sexual harassment from her customers, which makes her all the more difficult to be around. Jose (Bobby Cannavale) thinks he's hit the jackpot when he discovers a briefcase full of cash has been left in his cab, though he has reason to believe it's stolen. And Rasha (Sergej Trifunovic), a refugee from Bosnia, is still tormented by the violence that cost his family their lives, and has trouble concentrating on his driving, leading him into more than one auto accident. While the drivers deal with their individual dilemmas, all of them are suddenly wary of their customers, thanks to reports of a serial killer preying on New York's cab drivers. Produced for the Showtime premium cable network, 3 A.M. was screened at the Sundance Film Festival prior to its broadcast debut, where it earned an enthusiastic reception. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Lovers is a love story which focuses on the difficulties of opening up to another person. Dragan (Sergej Trifunovic), a young painter from the former Yugoslavia, walks into a bookshop, and Jeanne, the woman behind the counter (Elodie Bouchez), decides to fall in love with him. The rest of the film is about the identity of Dragan and the Jeanne's worries about the relationship. Director Jean-Marc Barr, known as an actor from such films as The Big Blue, got initiated into the Dogma 95 film movement while acting in Lars von Trier's Europa. Lovers is the fifth film to carry the seal of Von Trier's Dogma manifesto, which mandates that films be made in a naturalistic manner, with hand-held camera, natural light, and no background music, among other restrictions; and it was the first one which was not made in Denmark. Despite its strict adherence to the Dogma rules, it is a Paris story reminiscent of the French New Wave. Lovers was screened at the 1999 Munich Film Festival. ~ Gönül Dönmez-Colin, Rovi

After producer Oliver Stone saw Serbian director Peter Antonijevic's political drama The Little One (1992), he sent him Robert Orr's screenplay, which Orr based on the true story of an American mercenary in Bosnia. Orr had been a photographer's assistant during the war. Thus, Antonijevic directed the first 100% American-funded film about the Yugoslav conflict, beginning with a Paris prologue: Former U.S. military official Joshua (Dennis Quaid) entered the Foreign Legion after his wife (Nastassja Kinski) was killed in Paris by Muslim fundamentalists. Six years later, in Bosnia during 1993, Joshua and his pal Peter (Stellan Skarsgard), fight together on the Serbian side. After Peter dies from a grenade tossed by a young girl, Joshua shoots another youth on the side of the enemy. In a prisoner exchange, psycho Serb Goran (Sergej Trifunovic), a Muslim-hater, and Joshua wind up with pregnant Vera (Natasa Ninkovic), victim of a Muslim rape. When Goran threatens to shoot her baby, Joshua kills Goran. After Vera rejects the child, her family turns against her, and Joshua drives mother and child to a refugee center. Eventually, Joshua attempts to get Vera and her baby out of the country, but they encounter death-dealing Croatian marauders. Filmed in Montenegro, Savior was shown at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival and the 1998 Sochi Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Ubistvo s predumisljajem
Set during the Belgrade anti-war student demonstrations of 1992, and based upon a novel by Slobodoan Selenic, this Serbian drama uses the parallel romantic tales of two generations of Serbian to comment upon and compare the brutality inherit in Milosevic's regime to that of Tito's with the point that the former is equal to or even worse than the latter. Builka is photographing participants in the demonstrations for her hip young publisher when she discovers Bogdan, a Serbian soldier with a broken leg who has been unable to get much help at the hospital. This is because he was born in a Croatian village. But despite his birthplace, Bogdan hates the Croats because they commandeered his ancestral home. Builka, who simply hates war, kindly takes Bogdan home and ministers him. She listens to his naïve, hateful rhetoric and counters it with a more logical pacifistic view. The two continue sparring and eventually they fall in love. Unfortunately, love is not stronger than Bogdan's sense of patriotism and he is again lured to the battle fields. While her relationship with Bogdan blossoms and fades, Builka runs across the WW II era diaries of her grandmother Jelena, a wealthy young woman whose country estate was seized by Tito's followers. Her step-father is then tossed in prison. To help get him out, Jelena cozies up to the brutal partisan leader Krsman, a man she simultaneously loathes and feels attracted to. When she also gets involved with her step-brother she invites tragedy. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Someone Else's America
Immigrant friends living in a shabby corner of Brooklyn while they pursue the American Dream are the center of this comedy-drama from Serbian director Goran Paskaljevic. Tom Conti stars as Alonso, a Spaniard and owner of the Paradiso, a run-down bar where he lives with his blind mother and where his friend Bayo (Miki Manojlovic), an illegal immigrant from Yugoslavia, works as janitor in exchange for free room. The best of friends, Alonso and Bayo are united in believing that they'll succeed in the Land of Opportunity, despite much evidence to the contrary. Bayo's family then follows him to New York from Montenegro, but his beloved youngest son is drowned in the Rio Grande during the dangerous journey. Unable to cope with his grief, Bayo blames his eldest son, Luka (Sergej Trifunovic) for the tragedy. Luka, however, turns out to be the salvation of both his father and Alonso, transforming Paradiso into a trendy ethnic restaurant and marrying a Chinese-American girl in order to gain citizenship. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

When my clients make decisions on behalf of their senior dogs and cats, they routinely factor in their pet's age. I often hear statements such as, "I would pursue a diagnosis if only she weren't so old." and "I would treat him if only he were younger." When my clients voice such "senior objections" I gently encourage them to consider the situation a bit more objectively by considering their pet's functional age rather than their chronological age.
