Judith (Judi) Smith Baker, 64, passed away March 17, 2010 at Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, Utah following a brave battle with leukemia. She was born Feb. 8, 1946 in Salt Lake City. She married George Floyd Baker on Sept. 28, 1965 in Price and was later sealed to her family in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.
Judi's life and ambitions were centered around her children. She often commented that her greatest goal and desire in life was to be a mother. It was a role she was passionate about and deeply devoted to. Her love for her children and grandchildren was powerful and unending. She also had a great love of her many nieces and nephews.
Among her many talents, was her gift for loving and caring for children. She loved operating her own day care for many years, caring for a multitude of the children in her community. She worked for 16 years at Emery County Care and Rehabilitation Center where she diligently served and loved the residents and staff.
She held many callings in the LDS Church throughout her life and had a strong testimony of Jesus Christ.
Judi loved a good mystery novel, cooking large amounts of delicious food, and rocking out to very loud rock-n-roll music. She enjoyed shopping, crocheting and gems. Among her greatest joys were sitting in her rocking chair in her front yard, visiting with neighbors and watching the neighborhood children play. Above all else, Judi loved Christmas and a good piece of chocolate.
Judi's generosity knew no bounds. If she had a dollar, it was yours. Her thoughts and actions were always centered around others, especially her children and grandchildren. She had a great sense of humor, a hearty laugh, a quick smile, and kind word for everyone she met.
Judi is survived by her children, Ryan (Layna) Baker of Price, Tiffani Baker of Orangeville, Matthew Baker of Salt Lake City, and Kelly (Tatum) Baker of Spanish Fork; and her grandchildren Sarah Jane and Coleton Lee of Price and Paiton McCall and her soon-to-be little brother, of Spanish Fork. Also survived by her mother, Sarah Jane Smith of Carbonville; brother, Greg Smith of Vail, Colo., brother, Roger (Karen) Smith of Castle Dale, sister, Colleen Hatch of American Falls, Idaho, sister-in-law, Bonnie Smith of Orem, and mother-in-law, Bess Baker of Richfield.
Preceded in death by her husband, George Floyd Baker, father, Forrest Smith, brother, Grant Smith, brother, Leon Smith, sister, Sharon Smith, sister, Evona Smith and father-in-law, Floyd Baker.
Services were held Monday, March 22, at 11 a.m. in the Orangeville Third Ward Chapel in Castle Dale. The family would like to thank the Orangeville Third Ward Relief Society for their compassionate service. Interment took place in the Orangeville City Cemetery.
The family would also like to extend special thanks to the Utah Valley Hospital staff for the patience and tender care which they gave to Judi and to all of the family and friends who extended their love and support in her time of need.
Funeral services entrusted to the care of Heritage Funeral Home, Huntington.

Equine herpes virus outbreak traced to cutting horse show at Ogden, Utah
The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food is investigating cases of Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1) within the state. There have been several cases of the disease in horses from surrounding states that returned from the National Cutting Horse Association's Western National Championships that was held at the Golden Spike Event Center in Ogden from April 29 to May 8.
This highly contagious disease which spreads rapidly can result in the death of the animal. If horses become infected with this disease that were not at the NCHA in Ogden, it will be recommended that shows involving horses, mules and burros be cancelled in Utah. Horses will still be allowed to travel into and out of the state (please call the state of destination before travel).
There have been cases of the disease in Colorado and Washington which resulted in the quarantine of the veterinary teaching hospitals in Fort Collins, Colo. and Pullman, Wash. This disease appears to be highly infectious and has resulted in numerous secondary cases.
Horses have been euthanized after showing severe neurological signs associated with the disease. EHV-1 is not transmissible to people; it can be a serious disease of horses that can cause respiratory, neurologic disease and death. The most common way for EHV-1 to spread is by direct horse-to-horse contact.
The virus can also spread through the air, contaminated equipment, clothing and hands. Symptoms include fever, decreased coordination, nasal discharge, urine dribbling, loss of tail tone, hind limb weakness, leaning against a wall or fence to maintain balance, lethargy, and the inability to rise. While there is no cure, the symptoms of the disease may be treatable. Horse owners should watch their horses carefully and call their veterinarian if any abnormal signs are observed.

Three novelists who've gained literary respect as well as commercial success — Junot Diaz, (This is How You Lose Her), Louise Erdrich (The Round House) and Dave Eggers (A Hologram for the King) — are among the finalists for the National Book Award for fiction announced Wednesday.
The other two finalists are debut novels about the war in Iraq and its aftermath: Kevin Powers' The Yellow Birds and Ben Fountain's Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk.
The five finalists for the non-fiction award include The Passage of Power, Robert Caro's fourth book on Lyndon Johnson; Behind the Beautiful Forevers, Katherine Boo's account of life in a Mumbai slum; and House of Stone, a memoir, set mostly in Lebanon, by Anthony Shadid, a Lebanese-American reporter who died in February at 43 while covering the civil war in Syria for The New York Times.
The awards — rivaled in the book world only by the Pulitzers — were announced on on MSNBC's Morning Joe, the first time in the awards' 62-year history that the finalists were revealed on TV. In the past, they were announced at a literary site, such as William Faulkner's home in Oxford, Miss., or City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco.
And in contrast to recent years, when many of finalists and even the winners were not well known, this year's selections include several books that not only got rave reviews but landed on USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books List:
-- Caro, whose third book on LBJ, Master of the Senate, won a National Book Award in 2003, reached No. 15 with his latest book that opens with a vivid description of the Kennedy assassination from Johnson's perspective.
-- Diaz, a native of the Dominican Republic who grew up in New Jersey and now teaches at MIT, hit No. 29 on the list with his latest, a collection of linked stories about love, or its lack. It features the novelist's alter ego, Yunior, from Diaz's novel, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 2008.
-- Boo's first book, based on her reporting in Mumbai for The New Yorker, reached No. 28 on the list, driven mostly by rave reviews. It got 3 and 1/2 stars from USA TODAY's Deirdre Donahue who called it "original, detailed and so unbelievably sad, it makes Slumdog Millionaire (the hit move) seem almost like a romantic comedy."
And while Eggers' and Erdrich's latest novels - hers is about an attack on a woman at an Ojibwe reservation in North Dakota; his is about a struggling American businessman in Saudi Arabia -- haven't made the best-selling list so far this year, they've had best sellers before, including Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius in 2000 and Erdrich's The Master Butcher's Singing Club in 2004.
The other finalists this year are:
Non-fiction: Anne Applebaum's Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe 1945-1956 and Domingo Martinez's The Boy Kings of Texas, a debut memoirs about coming of age in Brownsville, on the border with Mexico.
Young People's Literature: William Alexander's Goblin Secrets, Carrie Arcos' Out of Reach, Patricia McCormick's Never Fall Down, Eliot Schrefer's Endangered, and Steve Sheinkin's Bomb: The Race to Build -- and Steal -- the World's Most Dangerous Weapons.
Poetry: David Ferry's Bewilderment: New Poems and Translations, Cynthia Huntington's Heavenly Bodies, Tim Seibles' Fast Animal, Alan Shapiro's Night of the Republic and Susan Wheeler's Meme.
The four winners, selected by five-member panels of other writers, will be announced at a black-tie gala in New York City, Nov. 14, hosted by Faith Salie, the actress, comedian and former Rhodes Scholar.
Winners receive $10,000 each, and a boost in their literary reputations and book sales. To. be eligible, a book must be published in the USA between Dec. 1, 2011, and Nov. 30, 2012, and be written by a U.S. citizen.
The awards are sponsored by the National Book Foundation, which is supported by the publishing industry.

The Utah Permanent Community Impact Board approved a request to fund a $1.1 million town hall and fire station. The new 5,490 square foot facility will be both a town hall and fire station with office space, storage areas, a kitchen and locker room. Funding for the new facility was approved as a $550,000 no-interest 30 year loan and a $559,280 grant.
"This is a much needed facility for the city of Cleveland and Emery County," said CIB board member and San Juan County Commissioner Bruce Adams, who represents the Southeastern Association of Governments. "The dual-use design which allows the city to use this facility as both a town hall and fire station shows that city planners really thought ahead to ensure they get more for their buck."
The Community Impact Board awards grants and low-interest loans to cities, towns and counties impacted by mining and the extraction of oil and gas on federal land. Projects funded by the CIB benefit rural Utah by creating safer, more livable communities. The program is managed by the Division of Housing and Community Development under the Utah Department of Community and Culture.

Whittell advances to state finals
March 3, 2014
The Whittell boys basketball team is facing off against Division IV Southern Nevada zone champion Spring Mountain in the state basketball semi-finals tonight at Wooster High School in Reno.
If the Warriors win, they will go up against the winner of the Virginia City-Adelson game.
The Virginia City Muckers were responsible for Whittell's only loss in lasst weekend's zone playoff games where they qualified for the state tournament.
The first game was against Eureka. The Warriors came out fast and led 38-14 at halftime. According to coach Phil Bryant, they controlled the tempo of the game and cruised to a 71-27 win.
"We were able to get all our players into a zone level game," Bryant stated in an email.
Four players scored in double digits led by Palmer Chaplin with 20 points, Mark Waite with 17, Bryce Bronken with 12 and Colin Buccholz had 10.
Next was Wells, who, Bryant says, was a much tougher opponent, but the Warriors were able to hang on for the 53-41 win.
Chaplin again led the scoring with 24 points followed by Cole Snyder with eight.
"We struggled in this game as we were not able to get any offensive consistency with only one player in double figures," stated Bryant. "The difference is the game was the freethrow line as we hit 13 freethrows in the fourth quarter."
The third and final game was against Virginia City, a league opponent who finished second in the regular season standings just behind Whittell.
The Muckers jumped out to a quick lead and the first quarter ended 20-8.
The struggles continued for the Warriors and they went into halftime down by 18 and the game ended with a 64-47 loss.
"While they were hot, we were ice cold. We missed six shots within five feet of the basket and looked passive at times against their defense," stated Bryant. "You would have to credit their defense for a great effort."
Spenser Buchholz was Whittell's leading scorer with 20 points.
"These Virginia City games have quickly turned into an intense rivalry," stated Bryant. "We have tremendous respect for what they do and how they do it but we hope to win on Friday and get another opportunity against them."
Note: Whittell defeated Spring Mountain, 53-50, Friday night at Wooster High School in Reno to advance to the state championship game. The Warriors play Virginia City Saturday in the Division IV state final tonight at 7:45 p.m. at Lawlor Events Center.

Is the new Girl Scout cookie really good for you?
The Girl Scouts of the USA tried hard to squeeze some actual healthy stuff into their new cookie. And now they're trying just as hard to defend themselves against criticism that the Mango Crème is nothing but a sugary sham.
The Scouts raised eyebrows last month when they began selling the cookie, touting the partnership with a company called NutriFusion. The South Carolina-based company makes GrandFusion, a product made by grinding freeze-dried fruits and veggies into a powder and adding it to various foods.
NutriFusion says its product "supercharges" the nutritional value of food without altering its taste. "GrandFusion is a blend of fruits and/or vegetables that can significantly increase the nutritional profile, and therefore the marketability, of food, beverage and snack products," the company says on its website.
ABC Bakers, one of two national suppliers of Girl Scout cookies, went a step further by stating that the new cookie contains "all the nutrient benefits of eating cranberries, pomegranates, oranges, grapes, and strawberries!"
ABC adds: "Try some today and enjoy a delicious new way to get your vitamins!"
That claim, including the exclamation points, must have been a bridge too far for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, the public-health advocate group out of Washington. The group's CEO, Michael Jacobson, sent a letter to the Girl Scouts, urging them to stop promoting the cookie as a healthy product.
"Unfortunately that cookie does not have the 'nutrient benefits' of eating fruit, but does have 4 grams of heart-disease-promoting saturated fat and 11 grams of tooth-decaying sugars per three-cookie serving," the letter says. "We are concerned that by marketing these cookies as a 'delicious new way to get your vitamins,' the Girl Scouts is misleading its members and supporters and undermining their health."
The center points out that 98 percent of the crisp, coconut-flavored Mango Crème consists of enriched flour, dextrose (a form of sugar) and palm oil. Among the ingredients in the other 2 percent are soy lecithin, citric acid, malic acid and annatto (a natural dye that comes from the achiote tree in Latin and South America). It has "nutrients from natural whole food concentrate," including cranberry, pomegranate, orange, grape, strawberry and even shiitake mushrooms, added for their vitamin D content.
Are the cookies horrible for you? Not if you don't eat a whole box at a time, probably. According to the label, each three-cookie serving (36 grams) has 15 percent of the daily recommended intake of vitamin B1, and 6 percent each of A, C, D, E and B6. A serving also has 180 calories and 8 grams of fat. By comparison, a two-cookie serving of the popular Caramel deLites has 130 calories, 6 grams of fat (5g saturated) and 12 grams of sugar.
The Girl Scouts of the USA responded to the letter with a statement defending the besieged cookie.
"This variety was inspired by consumer research that points to a preference for sandwich crème cookies, and a resurgent interest in adding vitamins and nutrients to snack foods in North America. The Mango Crème is not the first Girl Scout Cookie produced that includes a benefit associated with an added ingredient, or a benefit associated with a reduced or removed ingredient.
"All Girl Scout cookies should be considered an occasional treat and eaten in moderation."
Cookie season ends March 10.

Deke: New Orleans Metro Area takes over Class 4A
by Deke Bellavia
posted Nov 23 2012 1:48PM
In high school football, if you're playing on Thanksgiving week you are damn good! Just two weeks ago when the final power points were tallied and the brackets were released we started out with 32 teams in each of the five classifications in Louisiana. And now we are down to the best eight teams in each of those very same five classes. As far as area teams are concerned, the New Orleans metro area is well represented in the state quarter-finals this weekend.
Class 4A is loaded with teams from the New Orleans metro area, and some of the best match-ups in the state take place this weekend in the Big Easy. Holy Cross, McDonough #35, Edna Karr and St. Augustine are all in the Class 4A quarter-finals and the likelihood of three of the four advancing to the final four next week is pretty good!
The Holy Cross Tigers are playing as good of football as they have under Coach Barry Wilson. The Tigers have lost two games this season, and that was to Jesuit and Rummel. Holy Cross now takes on LaGrange, with the winner moving on to the state semi-finals to face either St. Augustine or Karr.
The Tigers looked as good as they have all season long last week with a big 42-7 blowout road win over the DeRidder Dragons. "We are playing well right now. Our players and coaches have worked real hard to get to this point and we want to keep playing as well as we can," said Tigers Coach Barry Wilson.
Legendary Coach Wayne Reese and his Roneagles of McDonough #35 are as hot as any team in these parts. You could say that the Roneagles have been in playoff form since the middle of the season.
At the midway point of the season the Roneagles did not look like they were even going to make the playoffs. But during the last six weeks of the season McDonough #35 moved up 22 spots in the power points to earn the #21 seed, and now with one win the Roneagles will advance to the semi-finals.
If there is a bigger game in the state than this one, please tell me. St. Augustine and Edna Karr square off in a game that will feature some of the best prep football players in the country. The game is obviously headlined by one of the nation's premiere recruits in St. Aug running back Leonard Fournette.
Fournette opened the eyes of the country last week as he rushed for a whopping 341 yards in the Purple Knights' blowout win over a very good St. Thomas More Team in Lafayette. But Fournette is facing perhaps the best defense in the state this weekend.
Coach Jabbar Juluke and the Edna Karr Cougars don't like to give up many yards, and they really don't like giving up many points. The Cougars allowed only 6.5 points per game this season and Karr has had double digits scored on them three times in 12 games.
This game features some of the most talented players in the country and there should be an overflow crowd Friday night on the West Bank at Behrman Stadium. Below are some other big match-ups that our great group of reporters will be covering this weekend.

Food Safety And Inspection Service Inspector Recognized For Innovative Thinking On Cost-Cutting Proposals
When I learned this week of one of our folks being named a candidate finalist for the White House Savings Award, I couldn't have been more pleased with her idea and effort to improve the way in which we try to achieve a higher standard of how we do things every day. Marjorie Cook, an FSIS inspector from Gobles, Mich., was among four finalists this year for the Obama administration's White House Save Award, a contest that seeks cost-cutting ideas from rank-and-file federal employees. Through dedication and creative thinking, Marjorie's idea stood out from 18,000 submissions on how to be more cost-effective in the federal government, which will result in saving taxpayer dollars. President Obama plans on including the winning idea in his proposed fiscal year 2012 budget. Read more »

Skip to comments.Essays for Lent/Easter: Women's Ordination
Posted on 04/16/2012 9:21:41 PM PDT by Salvation
Women's Ordination
by Sebastian R. Fama
While there are Catholics who favor ordaining women to the priesthood, it is important to note that the driving force behind this movement comes from the more radical elements in the Church. These individuals usually challenge the Church on a wide range of issues. They reject the authority of the Church and yet they demand that women be allowed to be a part of the authority they reject. If the Church has no divine authority, what purpose would it serve to be a part of it? Such an obvious contradiction discredits their argument. Their real goal seems to be the promotion of rebellion.
The Church's position on women priests is not a matter of prejudice but a matter of differing roles. That there are differing roles in no way implies that one gender is superior to the other. Can women legitimately claim that men are inferior because they can not conceive and bear children? Can men claim that God is unfair because He created them for what surely seems to be a less glorious role? Of course not. God, who is perfectly just, determined that men and women were to have different roles. Hence the Church rejects the feminist notion that women have no worth unless they are exactly like men.
The Church's position on women priests is not a comment on leadership capability. There are many women within the Church who are the leaders of religious orders, television networks, retreat houses, schools, etc. The Church's position has to do with the practice of priestly functions. The primary function of a priest is to be a priest--to offer sacrifice to God. Jewish priests in the Old Testament as well as the New were exclusively male. Jesus chose twelve males to be His apostles and ultimately His first priests. If He wanted women priests He would have chosen some, thus setting the precedent and avoiding future conflict.
In his "Apostolic Letter on Reserving Priestly Ordination to Men Alone" (Ordinatio Sacerdotalis), Pope John Paul II noted the following: "The fact that the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Mother of the Church, received neither the mission proper to the Apostles nor the ministerial priesthood clearly shows that the non-admission of women to priestly ordination cannot mean that women are of lesser dignity, nor can it be construed as discrimination against them. Rather, it is to be seen as the faithful observance of a plan to be ascribed to the wisdom of the Lord of the universe (no. 3).
The Church does not choose priests; rather, God calls them. The Church merely ratifies or authenticates a vocational call. Only those who are called to the priesthood should be priests. This would exclude not only women but the vast majority of men as well.
Some women will say that they feel called. If they truly were, however, we would have women priests. The idea that a group of men can stop God from accomplishing His will in someone's life is ludicrous. The only one who can prevent God's will from being accomplished in your life is you.
Was Moses able to free the Israelites from Egypt because Pharaoh feared him? No he was able to do it because God called him and he said yes. At first he refused, claiming that he was ill suited. He worried about his credibility with the people and his lack of eloquence as a speaker. But God told Moses that He would be with him (Exodus Chapters 3-4). God called Moses for a purpose, Moses said yes and then God made it happen.
If God calls a woman to the priesthood and she says yes, God will make it happen. The fact that we haven't had any women priests in the last two thousand years means one of two things. Either God hasn't called any women to the priesthood or He did and they all said no.
If God were calling women to the priesthood, would it not be reasonable to expect that He would have called some of the women who were closest to Him? And yet when we examine the writings of women like St. Catherine of Siena, St. Teresa of Avila, and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton we don't find any claims of being called to the priesthood. We only find loyalty to God and His Church.
Pope John Paul II has made it clear that the Church's view in this matter is not subject to change. In "Ordinatio Sacerdotalis," he said the following, "I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful" (no. 4).

I know you meant "not" ! LOL!!
NOT bowed
Catholic Ping!
I am conflicted on this.
The Church says no, but many of the holiest and strongest Catholics I know are women. Should they be denied the chance to serve the Lord as His voice?
Simplest case, take a look right here on FR. Catholic or Protestant both, the mightiest warriors for the Lord are women - and I am profoundly grateful!
I know it is the rules, but it is one I am not fond of. Accept it, of course, but really don't like it in this case.
I know - obedience is a virtue - but I can still grumble about wasted talent.
There are many ways to serve the Church. One does not have to be a priest to be a great leader in faith. The most prominent American Catholic leader in the last fifty years has been Mother Angelica of EWTN.
I just see women every day who are worthy of the title of Father (Mother?).
Sisters who are far more devout and qualified than some of the Priests I know.
His Holiness stated that women cannot be priests. I accept that - but I don't have to like it. No one said obedience would be easy!
St Hildergard, St Catherine, And look at Saint Faustina. We say this Divine Mercy Chaplet because of her Visions. I have had more Profound Presence of the Lord since these prayers. I had Dream Visions that came true since these prayers. Also these Prayers are for the Last days as the Lord to St. Faustina. So we are living in the true last days.
Women are very influential and anointed. I think some of the most profound writings are from women. I have read some. Just Amazing!
I do not think they should become priests. You might ruin all this great wisdom. LOL!
"Also these Prayers are for the Last days as the Lord to St. Faustina."
"Also these Prayers are for the Last days as the Lord told St. Faustina."
Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

1 Timothy 2:14 "And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression."
There is your reason right there, no matter how "holy" a woman may appear she is far easier to deceive and lead astray than a man is and she is also far more likely to rationalize her sinful desires like Eve did in the garden of Eden (in modern terms they call it the rationalization hamster which is a pretty apt description). So please stop putting women on a pedestal as they don't really deserve to be placed there and it usually only makes it easier for them to kick you in the teeth as you're bowing down to worship them ;)
True, FRiend! Both of my birthday saints are women, and we have a chat from time to time. Not as often as I should, perhaps, but when I remember we do talk.
Without the Blessed Madonna I would be apostate, yet she heard my plea. (For any non Catholics reading, yes, I know my prayer was to God Himself, but I had sinned greatly and it was slightly easier to ask for her intercession. I was not worthy to talk to Him.)
Just grumbling a little bit - every soldiers privilege. The order is in writing, so yes, I must accept it.
What a difference a letter makes.
"Follow the Bible, folks!"
Yes, but whenever I mention Corinthians 14:34 and 14:35, I get a lot of "I just found something nasty in my Cheerios" looks.
"I can still grumble about wasted talent."
In addition to the fact that the Church cannot ordain women, there are other reasons that women should not be priests. Good and sufficient reasons.
His Holiness said so - that has to be sufficient reason for me.
I am grumbling like you wouldn't believe here. Understanding, teaching and discussing God's will does not, to me, seem to require testicles.
I'd appreciate the additional reasons, if you have a moment. Help a brother out here please!
I am so thankful that the Catholic Church has not bowed to the modern world on this issue.
I second that.
"Should they be denied the chance to serve the Lord as His voice?"
No one is denied the chance to serve the Lord and be His voice. Women are in no way denied this. Mary was not denied this and is the first leader member of the Body of Christ.
What women are denied is earthly recognition of the role of husband which we see as a status position. So it's true the Church denies a position which confers earthly status to women but heavenly status has not been effected.
You are missing the point, which is made clearly in the article. In the post to which I am responding, you are suggesting that holiness is somehow an enabling qualification, like being good at math and thus being qualified to be an accountant. That is as far from the point as one can get.
The point is that the function of priest is to sacramentally celebrate the mysteries of the Church. It is not be to especially holy (though being chaste, demure, supportive, et al, certainly are assets).
And you might recall that some of the mightiest saints have been lay folk and some of the most awful sinners have been not only priests, but bishops. It would be best for you to separate the notion of worthiness from the concept of vocation. We are none of us worthy, but some of us unworthy types are called by God to serve at His altar. As the article said, had He intended women to be part of that call, He would have called them when He was among us.
A woman can be a sacristan, can run a ministry such as the Fatima statue traveling around, can teach catechism, can be in charge of adult formation in RCIA, can teach Bible study, etc.
And women PRAY!
Acts 20:28 - Holy Sprit appointed you overseers, to
tend Church
Lk 22:19 - do this in memory of me
Jn 20:22 - As Father sent me, I send you...receive Holy Spirit
Acts 6:6 - the apostles prayed and laid hands on them
Acts 13:3 - they laid hands on them & sent them off
Acts 14:22 - they appointed presbyters in each church
1Tim 4:14 - gift received through laying on of hands of
2Tim 1:6 - gift of God you have through imposition of hands
Tit 1:5 - appoint presbyters in every town as I directed you
Acts 20:28 - Holy Sprit appointed you overseers, to
tend Church

Jn 20:22 - As Father sent me, I send you...receive Holy Spirit

2Tim 1:6 - gift of God you have through imposition of hands
Tit 1:5 - appoint presbyters in every town as I directed you
**The point is that the function of priest is to sacramentally celebrate the mysteries of the Church**
Hammer meets nail!
The key point is that the "matter" of the Sacrament of Holy Orders is a man, just as the "matter" of the Holy Eucharist is bread and wine. Both points are connected to the nature of the Eucharist. The Eucharist is the re-presentation of both the giving of Christ's Body and Blood at the Last Supper, and of the Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross.
In this sacrifice, Christ is both Priest and Victim: He offers Himself to God the Father for us. The ministerial priest is mystically conformed to Christ Himself, and mystically participates in the (original) Last Supper and the Crucifixion. Because the priest is in place of Christ ("alter Christus"), and Christ was a man ... a real man, human flesh and blood and members and hormones and everything else ... the nature of the Eucharistic Sacrifice requires that the priest also be a man.
I think it is essential that we understand this theologically, because the Truth is True, independent of all other considerations. What "men" as a class or "women" as a class are like is irrelevant, particularly since almost all such generations are largely personal prejudice, rather than reality. The fact that the Apostles were all men is a useful guide, but it's not the key. The fact that "ordaining" women has been a first step toward catastrophe in many denominations is fascinating and instructive, but also not the main point.
Great answer, thanks.
Thank you. We discussed it on the way to Weight Watchers this morning.
Tax-chick at #26 has got it right (take a bow, TC: it was well-said.)
It's about the "matter" of the Sacrament of Holy Orders. A woman could "represent" Christ in many analogous ways: as healer or shephers(ess), speaker, wonderworker, prophetess, national hero(ine), royal descendant of Abraham and of David, and in many other ways; but a female cannot embody Christ as priest and as sacrifice on the altar, since these are embodied by "a" "particular" male, Jesus Christ.
Perhaps it makes things clearer if I point out that a woman can live in CXhrist fully, can even say with St. Paul, "I live: yet not 'I', but Christ lives in me" -- but cannot embody Christ because bodies are always either male or female, and Christ was a male. Was, and is a male in heaven, and in the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar, even now.
Oh, that's well-put! Have a Guinness!
I shan't waste time re-hashing them.
I maintain that, in addition to those explanations, I find that the most powerful practical argument against ordaining women is to be found in the manifest unfitness for ministry of those women who clamour most loudly to be ordained.
but a female cannot embody Christ as priest and as sacrifice on the altar, since these are embodied by "a" "particular" male, Jesus Christ.
Conversely, to suggest that a woman could "embody" the particular man Jesus Christ is to deny that Jesus Christ was actually incarnate as a man ... it is to deny the reality of the incarnation ... it is to resurrect the ancient Nestorian heresy.
Jesus choose 12 men as His Apostles. Popes, theologians and militant would-be priestesses may argue and speculate about why He choose only men, but none have argued that He choose only men.
Bingo! Go to the head of the class! I actually thought of that while I was running the mop machine, but I came back to find someone with cleaner floors had preceded me.
Amen to that.
Jesus CHOSE to be a man as our Messiah. He CHOSE 12 men as His apostles. He could have done the opposite. He didn't and our Church respects His choice.
I never did think it was a big deal even way back in my quasi-feminist days. The women who get their grundies all bunched up are women who don't like themselves .... and Catholic priests have ALWAYS been a target of men-haters.
I still don't get it, and have spent rather more of the day than I should have done researching the whys of it.
Still, thank you to all of you for trying to explain - this is something I am going to shove in the same part of my mind where I keep the Trinity, as something that simply is.
"Understanding, teaching and discussing Gods will does not, to me, seem to require testicles."
Testicles are not the only difference between men and women. We are vastly different in so many ways that one despairs of listing them.
It's funny: so many people accept that women understand things that men can't, but utterly reject the notion that there are things men understand that women can't.
One of those things is a man's dignity.
A male priest, through study and empathy, can be an entirely satisfactory spiritual guide for women, mutatis mutandis. Women cannot be satisfactory spiritual guides for men. Oh, perhaps they are acceptable to liberal weenie Episcopal eunuchs, but I am talking about men here.
I could go on and on for volumes without repeating myself, but I'm just too bleedin' tired.
You mentioned accepting the ineligibility of women for the priesthood because the Holy Father said so, but let's not forget that he didn't just invent the principle—it's found in the scriptures.

Like the title says I need a new anime to watch, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here is a list of anime's I've watched or am watching:
Darker then Black
Samurai Champloo
Samurai 7
Needless (I recommend this to anyone who hasnt seen it)
Death Note (the anime was too boring to keep me interested, but the manga was cool)
Soul Eater (The anime was enjoyable enough for me to go back and pick up the manga)
Cowboy bebop (Spike was just cool)
Fist of the Northstar
Ninja Scroll (classic)
Afro Samurai
I like action. It doesnt have to be an enormous amount, but more then Claymore, which bored me to death. I also like different powers and weapons..ie Needless and Soul Eater. Good animation would be excellent. I also like anime's that have a lighter side to them (comedy) Trigun had its funny parts as did Soul Eater and Needless

Offering a plush fit and feel, the Asics Gel Kayano 20 treats moderate overpronators to a premium ride with an abundance of support and lasting comfort.
The Asics Gel Kayano is a perennial best seller here at the 'House, thanks to its fantastic blend of cushioning, support, and a plush fit. Now in its 20th year, the Kayano's winning formula continues on, treating runners to a premium ride.
Runners slipping on the Kayano 20 are greeted by a soft underfoot feel, a preview of the shoe's cushioning and impact protection. Those who don't enjoy an overly squishy ride need not worry - the midsole is far from being a marshmallow and offers plenty of responsiveness.
Testers were quick to applaud the Kayano 20's upper. A stretchy mesh around the midfoot and over the toebox easily molds to the shape of the foot, while a deeply padded tongue and heel collar ensure a sensation usually reserved for bundling up with a soft blanket. It's not all pillows and feathers, though, as an external heel collar and midfoot overlays provide plenty of security and support.
On the topic of support, those with moderate to maximum pronation support needs will find plenty in the Kayano 20. The Dynamic DuoMax system continues to provide a smooth heel-to-toe transition via a soft midsole layer over the medial post, which creates a uniform underfoot feel, a treat for runners who plan to rack up serious miles in this shoe.
"If you're looking for soft and plush in a shoe with plenty of support, the Kayano 20 is the shoe for you. It comes in pretty colors too!"
"The new FluidRide midsole feels pretty similar underfoot to the previous Solyte midsole. If anything, the heel to toe transition feels slightly smoother."
"The mesh over the toebox offers more stretch than that of previous models, which gives this shoe a more socklike fit."

The Emery High class of 2011 has now left the school to make their mark on the world. The theme for the graduation held on May 26 was "What lies behind and what lies before are tiny matters compared to what lies within." Class president Kalin Burr welcomed everyone to the graduation ceremony. He said the last three years have been the hardest but the best. All the graduates have different passions, but they all have things in common. They have accomplished much and will now show the world how much more they can accomplish. The class of 2011 won basketball championships and state theatre championships. They have earned thousands of dollars in scholarship money. They have raised money for those in need including class mates. This is a class never to be forgotten because we refuse to be forgotten. Thank you class of 2011 and best of luck in the future.
Co-Salutatorian Spencer Fehlberg told the story of visiting a museum with Coach Reynolds and some other teachers. Spencer put his arm around Coach Reynolds and one of the museum workers came up to him and told him not to touch the artifacts.
Fehlberg spoke of his love for running. The cross country course at Delta was hard. The course at Ferron saw Fehlberg in the lead followed by a 100 runners. He kept thinking, "I can't let them beat me." They didn't. Fehlberg won that race. Fehlberg talked about the power of one. One day he was walking by Doug Mecham's office and his friend Karla Urie, told him he should run for studentbody president, so he did and he won. "I don't know how much good I did, but I grew." Someone once stole a bike belonging to Cassius Clay. He told someone he was going to find who stole his bike and beat them up. The person told him, well you'd better learn how to fight first. So he did. One, can make the world better. Think of someone in your own life who had an influence on you.
"I hope to be half the man Coach Gardner was. Coach Gardner had advice for everyone. Take the opportunity to thank the people in your life and be like them." Fehlberg offered advice to the graduates as well as audience members telling them they have the potential to accomplish great things and to never give anything less than their best. "The power of one is great so go for it. Go for it now for the future is promised to no one," said Fehlberg.
Mandy Langston, co-Salutatorian spoke of the moments of their high school journey. Mr. Davis captured many of these moments with pictures and numerous slide shows of the year's activities. Mr. Mecham has given countless advice on schools and where to go to college. The teachers have all become comfortable friends and students feel free to talk to them. Who could forget Neal's jokes and Mr. Moss when he's funny.
Mark Twain said as you go through life you may be more disappointed by what you didn't do than by what you did. Langston remembered all the fun times and the trips to Wingers in Price. She remembered toilet papering houses, and sometimes the same house twice in one night. One of the things she will remember most about the class of 2011 is that they were all friends. Now it is time to move on to college, jobs or playing X-Box on your mom's couch for the next 20 years. We will be forever united by this great school. "You can make it a great day or not, the choice is yours," said Langston.
Sydney Tuttle told how her and her friend D'Lee Gardner went to a movie and to Walmart instead of studying for a test. The next day they asked Mrs. Whittle if they could take the test the following day, because of all the troubles they had the night before with running errands and not being able to find anything in Walmart and getting a flat tire on the way home and not being able to study for the test. Mrs. Whittle kindly said OK come and take the test the following morning. So the girls went home and studied like crazy and the next morning, Mrs. Whittle placed Sydney on one side of the room and D'Lee on the other and handed them their test which contained only one question, 'which tire?'
Tuttle said there are many things in life we can't control. But laughter is the best way to get through life. When we laugh we use 15 facial muscles. We burn 3.5 calories with a hearty laugh. Laughing works the abs and speeds recovery in sick patients. Laughter fights stress and improves mood.
Tuttle told of some situations which brought laughter. Her friend Ashley got a job at Stewarts Market. Her boss told her that part of her job would be to sweep the floor. Ashley seemed a bit indignant and told her boss, 'I will be graduating from Emery High in a couple of weeks,' so her boss said 'here, let me show you how.' Laugh every day instructed Tuttle. She related the time Alexis called in to excuse herself for being absent.
Laugh your way through life instructed Tuttle, because crying gives you a headache. "OK, now back to the test. D'Lee and I guessed the right tire, so Mrs. Whittle had no choice but to give us a good grade."
Nathan Mecham, co-Valedictorian, started his talk with a story, he said what do you call a dog with no legs. Then he said, it doesn't matter what you call it, it's never going to come to you. Mecham spoke of the power of one. He said there is a power within all of us, the power to remember one more question on Neal's history test. The power to run faster and jump higher than we ever have before. Mecham told of the state play-off football game against Park City. Emery was the underdog and no one statewide thought Emery would win that game. But, all the Emery players knew they were going to win. They played with their hearts. With just seven minutes left in the game, Park City pulled ahead. 'We could go out losers, or we could dig deep and finish that ball game. That last seven minutes Emery put up a miracle drive. Quinn Montgomery ran the ball back to the 40 yard line on the kick off. I caught a screen pass on the 50 yard line. Then, quarterback Cody Jones was sacked for a 13 yard loss. It was 23 yards for a first down when Colton Fasselin threw a wobbly pass to Nick Stoddard for a first down. He used the power within and we were down to the 30 yard line. It was fourth and six yards when Cody Jones threw a laser pass to Kashe Potter. We scored on two more plays. (Mecham scored that touch down) Park City got the ball back and Nick Stoddard intercepted the ball from Park City which sealed the deal. Every single player used the power within to win that game. The girls basketball at state beat Carbon, but a game I want to talk about was with Juan Diego. I had the opportunity to go watch that game. Juan Diego was a sub 500 team. But, at half time Emery was down 33-25. I watched the girls they looked dead like they had no spirit. But, something happened they dug deep to win and held Juan Diego to 12 points the rest of game. Juan Diego didn't score until the last second of the game in the fourth quarter. The girls needed the power to play, the power within. The season turned around at that point.
We need to find our own success and live a happy life. Maybe we came into high school and wanted to attain a certain GPA. Maybe our goal was just to graduate. Set a goal and reach it. Mecham told of a chant used by the sports teams that said day by day we get better until we can't be beat. Won't be beat.
Mecham encouraged everyone to be their best self and to improve themselves day by day until they can't be beat.
Jacob Tuttle, co-Valedictorian said he appreciates the support from families and teachers. "Thank you for the work you've put into us and helped us along the way." Tuttle said he had a hard time with the topic and couldn't get any ideas, so he decided to keep his talk simple. He said as children everyone starts with the basics like learning how to walk and talk. In school we get into harder subjects like math and science. Tuttle encouraged everyone to try just for the fun of it; study poetry and calculus just for the challenge. After graduation, everyone needs a plan. College, jobs, missions, no matter what lies ahead set goals for yourselves. Show what kind of person you are. Graduation is a major step which has been prepared for and looked forward to for a long time, but now we are moving graduation into the past. We are stronger and smarter than we've ever been before.
Tuttle said he knows the class of 2011 well and knows they will be a success. "I wish you all the best of luck in the future."
Principal Larry Davis spoke to the audience and graduates.
"Thinking about these seniors and all of the little anecdotes that come to mind over the years we've spent together at Emery High and for some, Canyon View Junior High, has had a calming effect on me, especially when juxtaposed on a time-line of other things going on in the world.
"When I think about the billionaire owners and millionaire players of the National Football League fighting over how to distribute $9 billion in profit, I feel like I wish I had those problems. I feel a little stressed...but then I feel better when I think about five amazing Emery High basketball players and their teammates raising the state championship trophy in front of their adoring fans- the simple folk of Emery County, and I think how I'm going to miss Nos. 3, 14, 22, and 33... Taylor, Jessica, Brooke, and Tayler... and I think of Cody Jones raising his hand in a gesture of "We're No. 1" as Nick Stoddard and Colton Torre did a victory dance on the artificial turf among the opulence of Park City High School, celebrating a football playoff win that no one thought Emery could pull off. That was pretty cool, and I think of Tice Guymon and Dillion Walls giving everything they had to give on the wrestling mat every time they put on a singlet... and of D'Lee Gardner coming out for the first day of track full of emotion but courageous enough to make it through the day, through the track meet named in her father's honor, and through the rest of the season... and whether it was about winning with class or losing with dignity, each of our senior student-athletes did it with pride and with the Emery Spartan logo on their uniforms.
"When I think about legislators from my beloved state of Utah passing law 477, the invisibility act, then unpassing it. I worry a little bit. But then I recall Elise DeBry rising from the shadows of the orchestra pit as the real Dirty Rotten Scoundrel... and Tyrell Clement doing a Bill Cosby bit on raising children... and D'Lee Gardner, Shantelle Hansen, Sydney Tuttle and Lexie Stokes putting on day-glo lipstick before kissing the wrestlers on the cheek for Senior Night... I have to chuckle, and then I feel much better and a little younger too. And call me anxious, but I get more than a little uptight when I think about all the media attention given to the likes of Charlie Sheen, and Tiger Woods, and Lindsay Lohan and their dysfunctional lives in light of all the meaningful and newsworthy things going on in the world... and then I think of tonight's honor speakers, and the academic allstaters, and the sterling scholars, and the students of the week... all of them seniors and on stage tonight, I think, 'Now that's newsworthy...' and I think how hard they have worked to get to this point in their lives, and how they've done it in the right ways with dignity and with honor to their families and our school.
"I have to shake my head when I think about the drug problems we face in America... but I feel better when I think of the students in this school who have stepped up to our own drug problems by dropping a note in the buddy box, or talking to an administrator, a counselor, or a law-enforcement officer about drug activity because they do care about human life, their school, and their education. That is satisfying and these kids are heroes and will be our leaders in the future and will perpetuate a strain of goodness that will show up in their own children.
"What gets me uptight sometimes is when someone says, 'Please join me in the pledge of allegiance... or Please rise for our national anthem,' and there are those who rise reluctantly, or mock the words, or lack the concentration our national symbols deserve, and when someone is paid a lot of money to sing the national anthem at a major sporting event like the Super Bowl, and can't remember the words... but then I recall standing next to Spencer Fehlberg each Monday morning during the school year as he leads the student body in the pledge... and the Emery pep band playing the National Anthem at home games and at the 3A State Girls' championship Basketball Game at the Huntsman Center... and our choir and band and student council honoring veterans in a dignified school program... and Elise DeBry singing the fourth verse of the national anthem so beautifully it takes us to those moments in American history that make us real...and I feel a lot better... and very proud of who I represent, and I'm reminded that love of country is appropriate for all ages and certainly the right thing to do.
"I have to shake my head in disbelief sometimes about the gridlock in our nation's capital, the lack of civility among some of our elected leaders, and that we have reached a point where we have to run ads on our school buses to help fund education. But I'm calmed by my recollections of Nathan Mecham dressed as a Wheaties Box on Cereal Night... and Tyrell dressed as Slim Jim or Cookie Monster leading the cheers in the student section... and other students dressed as candy and elves and tall Santa, and wearing MESS shirts, and Spartan battle helmets... and the pep band singing Hey Baby and Sam Smith wearing that green beanie, rubbing his belly and flashing a peace sign... and Mandy Langston taking on the boys in daily lunch-time no-blood, no foul basketball in the old gym, and our sterling scholars doing the hokey pokey in the hallway before going into the dignified awards program... and our cheerleaders filling the floor at the end of a game to lead those who really care about Emery High in the school song...Onward Gallant Spartans.
"But still I worry about gas prices, and unrest in the middle east, the economy and the depressing and deadly weather... yet I find comfort in recalling how the Spartan Dance has become embedded in Emery High culture... and how on one occasion nearly all of our students were on the floor of the old gym Spartan-dancing in unison ... and I recall our drill team on the floor of a gym in Richfield with hundreds of other drill down competitors and how proud I was of the Spardettes for how hard they had worked all year... and of Kelcy Faimalo who stood among the final three... and how impressed I have been of Peer Tutors like James Holland ... for spending so many volunteer hours after school helping other students with difficult assignments simply because of the common bond we share--- We're all Emery High Spartans.
"I still worry a lot about No Child Left Behind and Adequate Yearly Progress and UPASS and all other accountability measures that we endure... but I'm comforted in knowing that we really are doing well because we're trying to do our best in this odds-against-us world and that collectively we have a big heart... I've seen it many times. I've seen it in Melissa Atwood's artwork, the volunteer efforts of the Governor's Youth Council, the humanity of these kids when they give blood, food, clothing, money and their time to those in need, the courage of Wylie Nelson in fighting and beating cancer, and those who are fighting other illnesses, addictions, poverty, neglect, unemployment, and personal loss of loved ones because everyone of these graduates here tonight, has a personal story of how he or she got to this point, and none can say it has been without scars. For many of these seniors, those who came through Canyon View Junior High School, I'm the only secondary principal they have ever known... and I worry a little bit about that too, because that's a lot of responsibility for an administrator... and then I remember the first time I really looked at Spencer Fehlberg in vast amazement which came at the "Get Acquainted Party" at Canyon View Spencer's seventh grade year. In that party, Spencer, Nathan Mecham, and Tyrell Clement were totally uninhibited... they did the Chicken Dance, the limbo, the Macarena, the Boot Scoot, and at some point got down on the floor and did the Worm better than most real worms... and they've continued going through life doing the worm in one fashion or another. That's why I find comfort in my distress... because for everything that gets me down, these students, the class of 2011, have lifted me up, and they probably don't even know it because life's greatest moments are often those most subtle. For example: It was a senior this year who, when asked by Bobbie Hymas our homework class supervisor, if she could help him with his assignment, replied, 'Bobbie, I would prefer to get help from someone closer to my own age.' You guys make us laugh.
"While these 157 seniors have met the graduation requirements set by the state of Utah and the Emery County Board of Education, they also have, each in their own unique way, lifted our spirits because they have heart and the will to do something special with their lives. It is my hope that each of you graduates will always remember Emery High School as a place that gave you opportunity, and that one day, years from now, when you pass by this school with children of your own, you can say to them, 'That's where I learned to do the Spartan Dance, and where I dressed like a Wheaties box, and where I got in trouble for boxing, and where we won championships, and where my teachers challenged me to do more than I thought I could, and where Principal Davis gave daily announcements every morning that were so boring I thought my head would burst like a failed levee, but you know what, it was all worth it.' It has certainly been worth it for me. I'm younger now than I ever have been before. And so... It is my honor to recommend to the Emery County Board of Education, to board members Nanette Tanner and Sam Singleton and to board president, Laurel Johansen, each of you as a recipient of an Emery High School graduation diploma. It is, in so many ways, something to be proud of," said Principal Davis.
The seniors at this point came forward when their names were stated and they received their diplomas from Laurel Johansen and Nanette Tanner. After receiving their diplomas they sang the song, "The Halls of Emery," under the direction of David Bird.
The graduates left the auditorium where they were greeted by friends and family in the old gym.
They will now begin the journey which leads them down many paths as their years together as classmates have come to a close.

Try this deck this week and you'll soon regret it. Toro and Shakra free = SoA everywhere. Draheera/Platinum/Arkn will be useless with such low power, and Dolly/Z3r0 D34d won't help you win much with such low damage.
Even in non soa weeks, the deck is pretty mediocre, imo.
- Platinum isn't that great - Spiaghi/Lehane splash card would be much better.
- You lack a damage reducer to help activate your two revenge card
- And really, having more than one revenge card probably isn't a good idea.
- Poison cards like Dolly are quite predictable in most situations, imo.
Just a few points you should consider, of course they are just my opinion and yours might, and probably does differ.
Um... what's the whole point of going GHEIST-mono if you're not using Draheera? Ludmilla is also IMO worse than Platinum... Platinum can go pill-for-pill with 7-powers, and truly shines when you pit him against another Power-reducing card like Caelus, Oshitsune, Tula, and Trish (although, admittedly, those 2 big power-reducers are gone for this week). seriously though, -3 opp. power min. 1 reduces alot of cards down to nothing; look at some cards like Pam, Arno., making crucial end-game much easier to make. While Z3r0 D34d and Arkn are still superior to Platinum, he's an obvious third choice that is really underrated, IMO. This is my suggestion:
Z340 D34d
or you can just scrap a 5* to make
"Um... what's the whole point of going GHEIST-mono if you're not using Draheera (R)?"
Because this week you'll run into a lot of SoA as Shakara is loose. Also, Draheera is new so there might be a lot of GHEIST around too.
SoA bonus /kills/ Draheera.
I wouldn't recommend using her this week.

|An Unending Epidemic
Malaria, unlike most major diseases around in the 19th century, has not steadily declined throughout this century. Though malaria was largely suppressed throughout the world in the 1960s and 1970s, it sprang back with a vengeance over the last fifteen years. The number of reported cases has almost doubled, making it the third largest infectious disease in the world. Scientists estimate that last year alone upwards of 300-500 million people contracted malaria and well over a million people, mostly children, died from the disease. (World Health Organization, 1999)
For those areas affected by the disease, the economic impact is enormous. Each time a person gets the disease they can expect to miss 5-20 days of work, and chronically infected families on average lose more than twenty five percent of their yearly income. In the countries where the disease is a nationwide epidemic, malaria patients occupy 3 out of 10 hospital beds, and the net effect can be a 5 percent drop in the nations Gross National Product. Collectively, the direct and indirect costs of malaria for these mostly poor, third world countries are well over $2 billion a year. (World Health Organization, 1998)
The main reason malaria is so hard to control has to do with the nature of the disease and the way it is spread. Malaria is neither a virus nor a bacterium, but a one-celled parasite. The parasites breed in and are transmitted by mosquitoes. When the mosquito bites a person, the parasites get into the new host's bloodstream through the mosquito's saliva. From there the parasites head directly for the liver. To insure their success in infecting the human body, they further multiply in the liver cells for 9 to 16 days. They then pour out into the blood stream and begin feeding on red blood cells. (World Health Organization, 1998)
Malaria parasites are transmitted to humans by mosquitos. A mosquito ingests parasites when it bites an infected person, and will infect anyone it bites later. The cycle of malaria transmission can be broken by killing mosquitos in epidemic regions, or reducing the number of hosts of the disease. (Photograph copyright BIODIDAC, University of Alberta)
To date there is no reliable vaccine for any type of parasite. The genetic code of parasites is much more complex than most viruses or bacterium. The malaria bug adapts quickly to vaccines and even some cures, and the human body develops a partial resistance to the disease only after repeated attacks. There are drugs such as quinine and chloroquine that kill the parasites once they have infected a person, but these chemicals are expensive and people must take them continuously to stave off the disease. (Shell, 1997)
Another problem with malaria is that it uses the mosquito as a delivery system. Even when a malaria victim is isolated, the disease can carry on. Often people don't even know they have it. Since the parasite runs rampant in the bloodstream, symptoms can include everything from muscle ache, to fever, to jaundice to dementia. In mild cases many just chalk the disease up to the flu and do not seek treatment at all. (Shell, 1997)
|From left to right, increasingly mature malaria parasites. These parasites grow in red blood cells, progressing through several stages of maturation, until they rupture, spreading more parasites throughout the victim.

Killzone is probably one of the best ps2 games out there it has a great story line the graphics are good and the great variety of weapons you get to choose from and the characters you get to choose from all have thier advantages and disadvantages and its a long game to keep you occupied and the maps you play on are so cool. If you havent played it yet you should at least rent it. And it is a 1st person shooter about the ISA getting attacked by the evil Helghast and one of the ISA generals is ......... HA HA HA im not going to ruin it for you. But anyways you need to get up to your space station floating around the world your on but you need to get through tons of Helghast to get a shuttle to get to the space station controlled by the ISA. Its a great way to take stress off your mind by shooting helghast in the brain like 7 times then shooting thier torso 200 times with a chain gun or just hit them with a huge a$$ missle from a rocket launcher.
O these are Helghast.

Simple Spring Recipes
Our busy schedules might not always permit us to prepare an elaborate five-star meal. For those evenings when all you want to do is have a simple dinner with family and friends, here are some easy dishes for a delightful spring meal. Light, healthy, and utterly scrumptious, these dishes bring spring straight to your dining table.
Asparagus Artichoke Salad
These two in-season vegetables make the perfect combination for this salad. This recipe from Simple Recipes has asparagus and artichokes with a smattering of shallots, cherry tomatoes, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of vinaigrette. The asparagus is grilled to give it a smoky flavor while the marinated artichoke hearts add zest to the salad. To stay true to its natural flavor, the asparagus should not be overcooked and the rest of the ingredients should all be fresh.
The perfect choice to start a meal, this asparagus artichoke salad recipe is easy to follow and takes about 20 minutes to prepare.
Pasta Primavera
You can never go wrong with pasta, which is perhaps the easiest meal to make for the entire family since most of the ingredients are readily available in the pantry.
This 40-minute pasta primavera recipe from Reader's Digest contains a lot of vegetables that instantly remind you of spring. This dish has carrots, tomatoes, garlic, mushrooms, and asparagus boiled in broth then tossed in fettuccini pasta. Incidentally, primavera is the Spanish word for "spring," making this vegetable-laden pasta dish a good match for the season.
Marinated Chicken Bruschetta
This dish from BJ's Solutions is the perfect companion to your pasta primavera! Marinate the chicken fillet halves in Italian dressing then let it set. While marinating, combine the rest of the ingredients in a separate bowl then marinate as well. You can grill or broil the chicken until tender, add in the vegetables afterwards, and serve.
Taking about an hour to prepare and cook, this dish can be your main entrée for the night.
Strawberry Banana Creams
No meal is ever complete without dessert. Since spring is the season for strawberries, these low-calorie Strawberry Banana Creams from FitSugar.com are the perfect way to end your meal.
In this recipe, the middle of the strawberries are carved out to make space for the banana-yogurt mixture. Top off the strawberries with sliced almonds then serve.
Because this recipe takes only about 15 minutes to prepare, you still have time to chill the fruits if you prefer to serve them cold.

What a wonderful time of the year when you are fortunate enough to live out here among all the corn and soy bean fields.
As we drive along these country roads we encounter one sweet corn stand after another. Most of us have developed our favorites over the years and purchase the bulk of our sweet corn from the same place.
How many of you out there are hooked on white sweet corn? Bicolor? There are definitely several varieties to choose from. But once we choose our favorite what do we do with it? The old stand by method would be to boil it, then slather it with butter and sprinkle with salt. I do love it that way. But how long do we boil it? There are lots of techniques to have the "perfect" boiled corn. Some methods have you turning off the heat when you add the corn and covering your pot for a certain number of minutes. That method works well enough. But what it truly comes down too is how done is done?
Instead of boiling you could fire roast the stripped ears of corn. Then there are a number of recipes that stand out. To fire roast the corn you need a gas cook top, electric just will not do. First remove the entire husk and as much of the corn silk as possible. Turn on your one of your gas burners and place a couple of ears of corn over the flame long enough to slightly blacken the edges of the kernels. When one section of the ear is roasted turn it with a pair of tongs and fire roast the next section until the whole ear is just a little blackened. Set aside to cool.
Fire Roasted Sweet Corn Custard
Serves 12 to 15
32 oz heavy cream
16 oz whole milk
6 ears sweet corn cut off the cob
6 ears sweet corn, fire roasted and cut from the cob
3 eggs, beaten
12 egg yolks, beaten
3 Tbl sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
In a large pot bring cream and milk to a simmer, add the NON-fire roasted corn kernels and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. A little at a time add mixture to a food processor or blender and puree. When done whisk in all the rest of the ingredients.
Pour into a 9 x 13 x 2 baking pan and bake at 300 degrees until just set, about 50 minutes or more, depending upon your oven.
Be sure to use one of your best looking 9 x13 x 2 pans as you will be serving in the same pan as you baked the custard. This is a beautiful dish and your whole family will just love it!

On Jan. 6, the elected officials for Emery County were sworn in at an official ceremony held at the courthouse at noon. Commissioner Drew Sitterud was the elected official who swore in the newly elected as well as the incumbents to their positions.
Commissioner Sitterud mentioned that at the time he was the only elected official in the building.
The officials lined up and raised their right hand and took the Oath of Office which is, "I do solemly swear that I will support, obey and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the State of Utah, and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity."
Those sworn in were: Gary Kofford as commissioner A, Ira W. Hatch, commisioner B, Bruce C. Funk, clerk/auditor, Kris Bell, assessor, Dixie Swasey, recorder, Lamar Guymon, sheriff, David Blackwell, county attorney, Betty Burns, judge and Stan Truman, judge.
A luncheon was held after the ceremony for the family and friends of the officials.
Sheriff Lamar Guymon has served as Emery County Sheriff for 28 years and is commencing his eighth term in office; which is one of the longest ever served by a sheriff in Utah.

The Southeastern Utah OHV Club and the Castle Country Rural Alliance have been gathering signatures to have an initiative put on the Nov. 5 ballot.
In a letter sent to the petitioners, Emery County Commission and the Emery County Attorney; Clerk Bruce Funk states:
"I, Bruce Funk, Clerk/Auditor of Emery County hereby certify that sufficient signatures, in accordance with section 20A-5-501(1)(a)(iii), have been obtained on the following initiative petition for submitting the resolution to the vote of the people at the Nov. 5, 2002 general election. This initiative petition reads: The Emery County Commission shall by resolution endorse the establishment of 620,000 acres of public land in Emery County as the "San Rafael Western Heritage Monument."
Clerk Funk said, "They needed approximately 669 signatures to have it put on the ballot. This total is based on 15 percent of those who voted in the last governor's race. When we had verified 700 of the signatures we quit counting.
"This begins the process and locks the issue in. It now has to go to the people. There was a good sampling of the people in the county represented on the petition.
"This is how democracy works. This is the first time that I recall anything like this happening in the county and I find it exciting," said Funk.
Mark H. Williams, board member of the OHV club said, "We had no trouble getting enough people to support putting it on the ballot in November.
"It became evident early in our petition drive that not only were some Emery County residents unhappy with the way the monument was introduced, but also they did not have a basic understanding of the problems the designation of this monument would create Putting this on the ballot is the most accurate way to determine how the people of Emery County really feel about this proposal.
Commissioner Randy Johnson said, "We had planned to do an extensive poll of the citizens of Emery County. We were going to do this after an extensive public information process. I am not against having this on the ballot, but I think it would have been more appropriate to work through the process. They are forcing the button with this. I don't think it will be a problem though, I think most people will be in favor of the monument proposal. We are partnering with the Bureau of Land Management and will begin a good public process. The information meetings that we have been working on will begin next month."
