Like many others, you may feel unprepared for the challenges of nurturing a child with a disability. We are reminded in "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" (Ensign, Nov. 1995, 102) that mothers have a special responsibility to nurture their children. Because of this the Lord has blessed mothers with the insight and understanding necessary to make decisions regarding the welfare of their children.
Remember, learning how to raise a child with a disability is a process, not an event. It may take time to adjust to the demands and challenges and to learn how to care for this specific child. These demands may change as your child's needs change—just as demands change for all children as they grow.
Mothers often feel responsible for the happiness and success of everyone in the family. It can be very challenging to balance the needs of one child, the needs of other family members, and your own needs for health and well-being.
Remember that God loves you and your children. He will never abandon you. He can give you strength and guidance.
Difficult and painful events in mortality are not evidence that God is punishing or rejecting you or your child. Even God's Beloved Son experienced sorrow and pain while in mortality (see Isaiah 53:3). Although God has not revealed all things to us now, you can trust that He is a loving God and cares for you and your child.
Other Suggestions
- Counsel frequently with your husband if you are married. If you are a single parent, seek support from other family members and priesthood leaders.
- Seek understanding and advice from qualified professionals concerning your child.
- Do not exclude or isolate your spouse in caring for your child. The family proclamation instructs, "Fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners" (Ensign, Nov. 1995, 102).
- Take time to restore yourself spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Caring for a child with a disability can sometimes be exhausting. Remember that the Lord does not require you to run faster than you have strength (see Mosiah 4:27; D&C 10:4).
- Accept that you may not be able to meet all your child's needs by yourself. Raising a child with a disability requires a team effort. It may require the involvement and skills of many people at each stage of the child's development. Be open to help and suggestions from others who care.
- If you have other children, help them understand the disability, the cause of the behavior of the child, and the needs of the child with the disability. They may at times struggle with confusing feelings. Help them feel comfortable expressing and understanding their own feelings about the family and the disability. Take the time to listen.
- Prayerfully consider ways to strengthen yourself, your marriage, and home life.
- Strive to keep your family balanced.

Vasovagal Syncope
Vasovagal syncope is a common cause of fainting. The vagus nerve is overstimulated and causes the body's blood vessels to dilate and the heart to slow down. This anti-adrenaline effect decreases the ability of the heart to pump blood upward to the brain against gravity. Without blood flow, the brain turns off. In Victorian England, when this happened because young ladies' sensibilities were easily offended, this was called a swoon.

ADDISON COUNTY — Official weigh stations across Addison County handled 183 deer killed by bow hunters during the October and December bow seasons and 163 shot during the recently completed December muzzleloader season.
This total of 346 deer bagged locally during the bow and muzzleloader seasons was not the highest count in recent years, but it was very respectable (see story, Page 1A).

This past weekend I watched Peter Jackson's latest spectacle, "The Hobbit." Though the film revels in violent action, and in that way is very different from Tolkien's classic book of the same name, the book and film do have a few things in common.
As President Barack Obama and House Majority Leader John Boehner debate ways to avoid falling off the so-called fiscal cliff, for a while there it was local and national nonprofits that might have gotten a lump of coal in their Christmas stockings — and they're not in the clear until the ink is dry on this year's budget deal.
The second tragedy of the Newtown, Conn., shootings would be if the nation moves on from this heartbreaking event without coming up with concrete solutions to stem the access of military-style assault weapons. The passage of time has a way of lessening the sting of yesterday's pain, but also blunts today's demand for change.
The president and Congress must keep the memory of Newtown's tragedy fresh in our hearts and minds for the next several months until more sensible legislation is passed and signed into law.
I try to start my Christmas shopping each year at the Peasant Market, which is the big flea market in July at St. Stephen's on the green in Middlebury. There is always a lot of great stuff there — more stuff than I can reasonably justify buying at one time for the modest needs of me and my family. So a couple years ago I struck on the idea that I could pick up a few extra things beyond what would satisfy our immediate needs and desires and squirrel them away as Christmas gifts, or at least stocking stuffers.
There's a little something making me happy these days. I call it the TSM. And I'm not talking about the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. In my world, TSM is short for Thrift Shop Miracle. I experienced one just a couple of weeks ago.

Darl McBride, the former chief executive officer of SCO, says he was offered $2 million by the Utah attorney general in May 2009 in exchange for taking down a website criticizing an area business person. Still pursuing the years-long legal battle against Novell and IBM over Unix and Linux intellectual property, SCO needed money at the time.
McBride was controversial for claiming that SCO owned Unix copyrights and that corporate users of Linux owed his company licensing fees. SCO ultimately lost its battle, but in 2009 the legal wrangling was still going on.
Besides SCO's legal battles, McBride was trying to collect money he believed he was owed by a business person named Mark Robbins because of a failed investment deal. McBride set up a website called Skyline Cowboy to try to shame Robbins, and Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff allegedly tried to convince McBride to stop going after Robbins.
An amount was discussed—$2 million. The money apparently never changed hands, but McBride recorded the conversation and later passed the recording on to federal agents investigating alleged misconduct in the attorney general's office.
The bizarre events were reported yesterday by the Salt Lake Tribune, which also published a partial transcript of the conversation between McBride and Shurtleff. The Tribune reports:
"He [Robbins] is very concerned, because he can't get any deals done because people go out and see that [website]," Shurtleff says on the recording, before launching into the pitch: "What can I do?"
McBride says he needs $2 million. Shurtleff replies that he doesn't think Robbins has that kind of money, but he believes he can get it from one of Robbins' associates—Marc Sessions Jenson. A year earlier, Shurtleff's office had charged Jenson with six securities-related felonies, but the businessman was free at the time as a result of a plea deal struck with the attorney general's office.
"I think he'd do it," Shurtleff says. "I've kind of got a weird relationship [with Jenson] because he is still under a plea-in-abeyance program. We put him on a three-year plea-in-abeyance. He's got to pay the money back. If he does that, the charges will be dropped… He's got every motivation in the world."
Later in the conversation, "McBride indicates if he could get a few million dollars, it would prolong the life of his company." But McBride reportedly never heard from Shurtleff again. Robbins and Jenson both said they had no involvement in Shurtleff's pitch to McBride and no intention of funding a payment, the Tribune reported.
McBride was fired by SCO in October 2009. Shurtleff left the attorney general's office in January of this year.
As we noted at the time of his firing, "McBride was the architect and public face of SCO's misguided campaign against Linux. He claimed that the open source operating system infringed on SCO's copyright and included a significant quantity of code stolen from Unix System V. On the basis of this claim, SCO threatened to sue a multitude of corporate Linux users and demanded hefty licensing fees."
Courts ruled that Novell was the rightful owner of Unix copyrights. In June 2010, SCO was denied a new trial seven years after the litigation began.

You've decided to take the next step. Don't worry--we're here to help you. Applying for financial aid is easy!
Are you a Maryland resident?
Complete your FAFSA before March 1 each year for consideration of state financial aid from the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC). MHEC offers various grants and scholarships, most of which require you to file your FAFSA before March 1.
If you didn't file your FAFSA by March 1, don't worry! You can still file your FAFSA for federal aid.
Financial aid begins with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov. The FAFSA is your application for grants, loans, and work-study.
The FAFSA becomes available October 1st each year. You should plan on completing it as soon you plan to attend college. You must file the FAFSA each year you want to use financial aid.
When completing the FAFSA, be sure to include UB's school code, 002102. UB will determine which financial aid programs you are eligible for based on the results of your FAFSA.
After you have been admitted to UB and we have received your FAFSA, we will award you with financial aid. We will notify you at your University of Baltimore email address (typically email@example.com). It's important to begin checking this email account frequently!
For additional information, click here.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I receive my award notice?
The email you receive will direct you to your MyUB Portal to complete the remaining financial aid steps. You will want to complete the "4 Steps to Financial Aid" found in the left-hand column. Specifically, you will want to complete step 2. If you decide to borrow loans, step 3 will also need to be completed. UB will automatically accept grants for you; you will need to accept work-study and loans should you decide you want them.
If you do not have your login information for MyUB, please click here.
How much financial aid should I accept?
This is up to you! A bill, or charge, will be created on your account after you've registered for classes. You may want to check the tuition and fees webpage to determine how much you will be charged. Consider accepting enough financial aid to cover the cost of your educational expenses. We recommend only borrowing what you need.
What happens if I have too much or not enough financial aid?
If you have more financial aid on your account than your charges total, you will be issued a refund. Refunds are sent from the Office of the Comptroller in Annapolis. It is important that you keep your address up to date at all times. You can expect to receive your refund within 10 business days of seeing "Refund Financial Aid Annapolis" on your student account.
There are two options for students who do not have enough financial aid to cover their tuition and fee charges. The first option is to enroll in the payment plan offered though Sallie Mae. The second option is to visit the Office of Financial Aid to learn about other financial aid opportunities.
For additional information about refunds or payment plans, visit the Office of the Bursar's website.
Do I have to be full-time to receive financial aid?
A common myth about financial aid is the full-time requirement to receive aid. While some programs such as state grants from MHEC require full-time enrollment (12 or more credits), federal aid does not require you to enroll full-time. Some programs may have amounts adjusted if you do not enroll full-time like the Pell Grant or institutional scholarships. To remain eligible for most types of financial aid, half-time enrollment (6 to 11.5 credits) is required each semester. For requirements of specific programs, see types of aid or the Office of Financial Aid.
What do I have to do to keep my scholarship?
- Transfer scholarships are renewable for up to three continuous years of undergraduate study provided you enroll full-time (12 or more credits per semester) and provided funding is available. Should you decide to enroll half-time (6-11 credit per semester), your scholarship will be adjusted to $600 annually. You must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5 and maintain satisfactory academic progress at UB to remain eligible.
- Part time transfer scholarships are renewable for up to three continuous years of undergraduate study provided you enroll half-time (6-11 credit per semester) and provided funding is available. You must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5 and satisfactory academic progress to remain eligible.
- Freshman scholarships are renewable for up to four continuous years of undergraduate study provided you enroll full-time (12 or more credits per semester) and provided funding is available. You must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5, full-time enrollment, and maintain satisfactory academic progress at UB to remain eligible.

Sam Adams has decided to withdraw its sponsorship from the annual South Boston St. Patrick's Day parade Sunday after negotiations to allow a gay group to march in the parade broke down.
Boston Beer Company, which makes Sam Adams beers, said it was pulling its participation from the parade after pressure from Club Cafe, a popular South End gay bar.
Club Cafe had issued a statement Thursday on its Facebook page, announcing it would no longer serve Sam Adams so long as Boston Beer Company continued its sponsorship of the parade and the parade continued to refuse to allow LGBT people to march openly.
"It is hard to understand how a community like Boston ... that organizers of The St. Patrick's Day Parade feel it is just to discriminate against us as a community, and that Sam Adams does not take seriously the impact that their support of bigotry will have on their relationship to the LGBT community and their business," the statement said.
Boston Beer Company issued a statement Friday morning, announcing their decision to withdraw its sponsorship based on the "current status of negotiations" between Mayor Martin Walsh and U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch and the parade organizers.
Walsh, himself an Irish-American, had been working to broker a deal between MassEquality, a gay rights group, and the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council, the parade's sponsor. He has also said he would refuse to march unless gay groups were allowed.
The brewer said it planned to continue to sponsor the annual St. Patrick's Day Breakfast, also Sunday, which is regularly attended by many of the state's politicians.
For its part, Club Cafe said it was "again proud to serve Sam Adams and Boston Beer Company Products."
Full statement from Boston Beer Company:
"We have participated in the South Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade and St. Patrick's Day breakfast because of the rich history of the events, and to support veterans who have done so much for our country."
"We were hopeful an agreement could be reached to allow everyone, regardless of orientation, to participate in this parade. However, given the current status of the negotiations, this may not be possible."
"We stand with Mayor Walsh, Congressman Lynch, and other community leaders in our decision not to participate in this year's parade, but will continue our strong support of the Boston community as well as Senator Linda Dorcena Forry and her St. Patrick's Day breakfast. We wish her all the best in her historic stewardship of this tradition."

Sept. 15, 2010
SALEM, MA-Freshman forward Victor Ferreira (St. Michael, Portugal/New Bedford HS) scored the only goal of the game to lead the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's men's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over host Salem State in a non-conference match at Alumni Field Wednesday evening.
Ferreira converted a pass from sophomore midfielder Anthony dos Santos (New Bedford, MA/New Bedford HS) in the 39th minute to break a scoreless tie and account for all the scoring in the match.
"It was a short give and go pass," said UMD Assistant Coach Alex Bettencourt. "Anthony slipped the ball through a gap in their defense, and Victor just slotted it home."
The Corsairs threatened in the second half when senior midfielder Mike Alves (Seekonk, MA/Seekonk HS) hit the crossbar with 25 minutes remaining, then sat back and preserved their advantage.
Sophomore goalkeeper Kellen Rauch (Ashland, MA/Ashland HS) helped the Corsairs preserve their lead by making eight saves. The Vikings out shot UMass Dartmouth, 15-14, and SSU goalkeeper Luis Marques made four saves.
"We played a solid first half, and played well in the second half before we fell back and preserved the lead," said Bettencourt. "Everyone except the backup goalkeepers got into the game. It was a team effort. (Sophomore defender) Brady Paradis (Tiverton, RI/Providence Country Day HS) played well in the back. The point of each game is to continue to improve, and game four was better than game three. This is the best team we've played; they had some very skilled players. We're working towards the conference opener this weekend."
The Corsairs improved to 4-0 with the victory, while the Vikings fell to 0-2-2 with the defeat. UMass Dartmouth will return to action when they host Rhode Island College Saturday in the 2010 Little East Conference opener.

Give Your Club a Family Fitness Fix
As the family unit continues to be overshadowed by the frenzy of life, family fitness classes are a welcome addition to the club industry. In fact, family fitness programming has been recognized by the American Council on Exercise as one of the top 10 fitness trends in 2000.
Basically, it just makes sense. Family fitness saves time (exercising and spending time together become one activity), alleviates parental guilt (the kids aren't in childcare), offers an avenue for parents to guide their children to a healthy lifestyle and provides a positive environment for all family members.
Healthy Families, Healthy Clubs
Fitness facilities also benefit from family programs. It opens doors to the inactive market, increasing membership in multiples. Family programming can occupy the group-exercise studio during downtimes, plus it provides a great selling point for reps. Furthermore, family fitness introduces great public-relations opportunities. Overall, this programming is a great revenue generator.
Marketing Matters
It's important to pay close attention to the marketing phase of family fitness programming. First educate the members within your facility. (For tips on how to reach nonmembers, see sidebar, Marketing Family Fitness to Your Community.)
Distribute articles about childhood obesity, physical inactivity, the breakdown of the family unit and the like. Allow your members to recognize themselves and their family members in these articles. And challenge your staff to discuss topics such as childhood obesity and inactivity with members.
The Kickoff
Once the seeds have been planted, kick things off by announcing a Family Fitness Night. This evening should include anyone who has a family or just wants to be a part of one, or anyone who has a kid or just likes to play like one. This first class might involve 30 minutes of education, 30 minutes of activities, question and answer time, and an hour or so of social time with healthy snacks and an inspirational movie clip.
General Guidelines
The specifics of formatting family fitness classes are vast. Here are some general guidelines to follow: Offer a non-threatening, noncompetitive, welcoming environment for all ages and fitness levels. Keep the intensity levels moderate, and limit the cardio segment to 30 minutes.
Organization and flow are key to the success of this class. This is a challenge because the participants are so diverse. A playground of partner- and team-based activities work best. The universal needs of this group are the desire to have fun, fit in and be successful. And an educated, enthusiastic and empathetic instructor will have the ability to cover all of those needs.
Marketing Family Fitness to Your Community
1. Reach the home-school market via local libraries. Home-school families need a fitness outlet.
2. Schedule a meeting with local pastors or rabbis. There are many inactive families in their congregations. Offer to help them get active.
3. Share a sample Family Fitness Night at the elementary and middle schools in your area.
4. Help Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts earn their fitness badges by giving discounted family fitness classes to them and their families.
5. Give a talk at a local chamber of commerce's monthly luncheon meeting.
Elements of Effective Family Fitness Programming
1. Create a "class family" by fostering relationships through partner and team activities.
2. Focus on simple movement and a fun, party-like or playground-like atmosphere.
3. Begin all classes with a goal, and center all activities around it. Build on each goal over the weeks so that a journey of progress is accomplished.
4. Appeal to the universal needs for fun, belongingness and self-esteem.
5. Feature one child per week as a "student of the week."
6. Give a preview or goal for the week to come. Kids love to look forward to something.
7. Offer rewards for consistent attendance. Sticker books work great.
8. Class organization and program flow are everything.
9. Handouts on fitness topics continue the education process and show that you care.
10. Contact your insurance carrier and attorney concerning liability issues prior to the program.

American Hipster Presents - Bex Finch
Have you seen this series from American Hipster Presents? When I first heard the name of the series, I thought it was going to be some sort of comedy thing or making fun of people. But, I was pleasantly surprised to discover a thoughtful series of shorts featuring talented people making their own way in the world. I related to this one of Bex Finch the most, as I think any blogger who has tried to master the self-portrait will. I checked out the rest of Finch's photography and really enjoyed her series of Big Sur. It reminded me of our time in California and driving up the Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco.

There's such a beautiful connection between how she feels about her father's condition and her photography. I think it's something so many photographers aim for and never really successfully pull off. Good for her!
