About Harry Benjamin Syndrome (HBS) or Transsexuality (TS)
HBS/TS is a mistery.
Why someone that has normal genitals with a typical sexual development would feel and self-identify as pertaining to the opposite sex?
Psychiatrists and psychologists immediately concluded: they have a mental problem! They have not a correct perception of REALITY!
From then on, to have any help, these people were considered to have a mental problem - a lack of correct perception of reality.
The point was, psychologists and psychiatrists - as doctors and families, including the law - understood some aspects of "reality" from a particular point of view:
- 1. The gender/sex bipolarity was "normal" and "radical", in an absolute (ideological) point of view;
- 2. The absolute determination of gender by genital conformation as an absolute (ideological) reality;
- 3. Each individual that would not perceive reality THAT WAY would surely not perceive (ideological) "reality" in the proper way, and would need a mental evaluation and mental treatment;
- 4. Any body change, mainly genital correction would not be a "correction" but a "crime" against the individual (due to its lack of good perception of reality), against society, against "God".
On one point, almost all therapists agreed: Someone that would like to "change sex", would necessarily be really a " radical homosexual". A kind of "foolish" homosexual - for whom to be a homosexual would not be enough, to change the body would be also necessary.
Then, someone that shows the necessity to "change sex" and was not a "homosexual" would be really absolutely unexpected. To change sex M to F and later act as a lesbian! Or vice versa as a gay man! Foolishness! A kind of "autogynephylia" or a kind of "autoandrophylia".
All these reactions to the FACT that gender identity IS NOT DEFINED by the genitals - nor the chromosomes, nor any other simple one cause - one effect, mislead the "experts", most up until today.
Another important FACT was, for almost all the time, the "experts" ignored that the self-perception is something erected THROUGH THE BRAIN, and so the brain is necessarily important in that erection of gender identity.
Since the 60's, Dr.Gunther D�rner, Ph.D., the head of the Department of Endocrinology of Humboldt University in Berlin (East side of Berlin then) started researching the sex differentiation of the brain - in rats and other rodends. He perceived, when he destroied parts of the brains of the rats, they changed their sexual posture. Original males showed "female lordosis" positions, and vice versa. The genitals were normal, the genetics were normal, the brains were manipulated.
In a way, the rat "self-perception" changed, changing the brain.
Dr.D�rner was generating "transsexual rats" in laboratory.
Unfortunately, the own researcher did not understand correctly his own results - in the 60's and 70's even 80's transsexuality was not the problem but homosexuality - and he interpreted his results as if the rats were changing from heterosexual rats to homosexual ones.
That way, his research was not accepted very well in Western world, and most of his research was almost wasted with time.
At the same time, in USA, Dr.John Money, Ph.D., stated TWO BIG DOGMAS:
1. That someone HUMAN "learns to be a boy or a girl as learns a language".
2. Only humans have gender identities - other animals even primates did have no sense of identity at all!
At the same time he did show David Reimer as the evidence, the sure evidence of his research and conclusions. Later, through Dr.Milton Diamond, Ph.D. and the journalist John Colapinto, the world knew David Reimer's results were a fake (later he took suicide), and he never learned how to be a girl.
Gunther D�rner was much more near the reality than John Money - and we took the wrong way.
The brain is the core part where all our self-perceptions are formed - including about gender.
The differentiation processes that govern the sexual differentiation of basal parts of the brain as stria terminalis, hypothalamus, amydalas and other parts of the lymbic system, is different when compared with the genital tissues differentiation. They happen with different controls, at different moments during gestation. And a lot of experiences with Rhesus shows these basal brain parts are well developed and formed at birth for all primAtes, including man. So, as I stated in 1995, and was published in Brazil in 1998 ("Meu Sexo Real"- Martha Freitas (my pseudonym) - Vozes Editors, 1998), the gender identity is erected in the brain, and its core kernel part is the basal brain - and in primates, that formation happens during gestation - and may be in NEURODISCORD OF GENDER in relation to the genital tissues.
That term, Gender Neurodiscord (Neurodiscord�ncia de G�nero - the original in Portuguese), was established by us - Dr.Dorina Epps Quaglia,MD, Ph.D.; Dr.Jalma Jurado, MD, Ph.D.; Dr.Julio Cezar Meirelles Gomes, MD, Ph.D. and myself, after a meeting held in Brazil about these matters, and later was considered in some papers.
Let's consider again the old points of view:
- 1. Gender is a bipolarity. Simply, it IS NOT A BIPOLARITY. It is a spectrum, where extreme events as gender neurodiscord - or transsexuality or Harry Benjamin Syndrome - surely happen. Happen at low probabilities, they are rare, as big earthquaques
< are rare. But they exist and they ARE REAL, they are a part of reality.
- 2. Gender IS NOT DETERMINED BY THE GENITAL CONFORMATION. That is a simplification that leads to big mistakes. Gender identity is related to the brain - the brain is a part of the body. The brain need not to be in harmony with the genital tissues, due to the fact that the formation processes are different, with different controls, organized in different ways at different moments. The brain processes are much more complex than the genital ones, and both are complex and no simple relations exists among them.
- 3. The perception of reality is not based in Gaussian means only. Reality is something extremely complex, something that need Quantum Physics for some scales and Relativity Theory for others. Reality is in our scale much times fractal, self-similar, extreme events may happen and are real. The old simplicity - and the elimination of the unexpected as "abnormal" was the problem of lack of reality. The problem was in a superficial perception of "science" by "experts" and not in the subjects suffering from a gender neurodiscord - or a HBS/TS.
- 4. Why someone that feels bad with a part of the body, may not have the best correction to feel a whole person, in inner harmony?
Also gender neurodiscords (HBS/TS) are not foolish gays or lesbians. Nor nothing of that kind.
Extreme events happen. They happen in Nature. They happen inside our brains, inside our lives.
The HBS-Harry Benjamin Syndrome (gender neurodiscord or TS-transsexuality) is a radical development of gender identity, since the womb - perceived as since the first childhood - in an unexpected way - as an extreme event among all possible states determined by gender identity development.
It has a possibility of "diagnosis" (our Gendercare Web-based method we believe is the best for that evaluation/diagnosis), may be easily recognized, is rare, is extreme, and need medical help.
It is not necessarily related to a mental problem - very rarely it is related to a mental problem, and when that happens, the mental problem is not the cause, but one effect from a suffered life.
The medical help HBS/TS needs are a good and fast evaluation (as Gendercare's), later transition (MtF or FtM), with hormone therapy until the desired SRS-sex reassignment surgery, and a perfect post-op follow up - and from then on, the patient needs to live as a normal woman or a normal man - among the local society.
So, there is an explanation for HBS/transsex, and there is a cure - to assign the person properly to have inner and social harmony.

Aggravated DUI Charges Filed for Fatal Crash
November 28th, 2012 at 10:57 pm
A Far South Side man is facing charges after crashing his sports utility vehicle into a pickup truck, leading to the death of the pickup's driver. The driver of the SUV was charged with aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, Illinois State Police said. The Chicago Tribune reported a story on the case.
Tyrone Allen Stokes, 42, faces aggravated DUI charges in the death of a 21-year-old Phillip Briner of Crown point, Indiana. Stokes crashed his SUV into a pickup truck on the Dan Ryan Expressway on November 10. The victim, Briner, was identified by the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Stokes' bail was set at $450,000 at the Cook County Bond Court hearing.
Stokes drove a red 2002 GMC, and after the crash, he cooperated with the police and did standard field sobriety tests at the scene. His blood-alcohol level was measured at 0.106, which is more than the legal limit of 0.08, police reports said.
Both cars were heading south on the expressway when Stokes went from the far-right lane to the far-left lane, smashing into Briner's truck. Witnesses said the trucks first hit the left wall and then the right wall before coming to a stop. An autopsy confirmed that Briner died of injuries from the crash.
If you are facing charges for driving under the influence, it is crucial to have an experienced DUI attorney on your side. A knowledgeable attorney can make your case, while the wrong choice of attorney can break it.

Woman Accused of Hit and Run while Intoxicated
November 24th, 2012 at 12:33 pm
A 32 year old Illinois woman is accused of driving under the influence of alcohol, leaving the scene of a traffic accident, and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. She is accused of hit-and-run with a house.
On October 27, 2012, at approximately 10:40p.m., the Madison County Sheriff's Office received a call from a Madison, WI resident that a white car had hit their home and then had driven away. The house was located at 1100 block of Williamson Street. When deputies arrived at the scene, they found the damage to the house from where it had been hit by the vehicle. There were several witnesses at the scene who told the deputies that the driver had fled the scene by heading towards Staunton.
Staunton police were notified and located a vehicle identified as a white Nissan Maxima that had damage consistent with being in a recent accident. It was locates on Old Route 66 at Reservoir Road. A Madison deputy was then dispatched to the location of the vehicle.
According KSDK, Bess Kellebrew, of Livingston IL, was identified by the deputy as the driver of the vehicle. According to police reports, Kellebrew showed signs of being intoxicated and failed a field sobriety test. Her face also had injuries consistent with being in an accident. Kellebrew was taken to the Madison County Jail and held on $100 bond.
There could be several extenuating circumstances in this case to make it appear that the alleged defendant was responsible for this accident. But there may also be evidence to suggest she wasn't. If you find yourself arrested and accused of DUI, you need the experience of a qualified DUI attorney to defend you.
Diamond Taylor Arrested On a DUI Charge
November 21st, 2012 at 3:06 pm
Ever hear the saying "diamonds are a girl's best friend?" Well, in this case the old proverb might far from the truth, as Southern Illinois Guard Diamond Taylor was arrested on DUI charges, which led to a suspension from the Southern Illinois Salukis. Sportingnews.com reported a story about this diamond in the rough.
Taylor was arrested in September 2012 on DUI charges, which led to coach Barry Hinson placing Taylor under indefinite suspension from the Southern Illinois Salukis. Hinson said in the school's release about the matter that he is extremely disappointed in Diamond. "We're in the business of educating student-athletes and teaching them how to conduct themselves on and off court, and this is a significant setback," Hinson continued.
The coach said he met with Diamond and issued a challenge to him to become a first-class student and resident for Carbondale, and how the situation develops would be up to Diamond and it would determine his status in the team. Taylor was in the starting line-up for nine games last season. He is a junior from Bollingbrook, Illinois, and he played at Wisconsin before he transferred to Southern Illinois University.
The circumstances of Taylor's DUI are unclear to us, so we cannot comment on the case ourselves. But if you are facing DUI charges in the state of Illinois, our experienced drunk driving attorneys can provide you with dedicated help on your case. We wrote the book on Illinois DUI, so when you need help with an Illinois drunk driving charge, contact our offices.

Dr. John's Personal Page
You grew up fast and had to be hardy, in the 1930's in north eastern Saskatchewan. Johnny, as his parents and siblings called him, was the youngest of seven children, born at the beginning of the great
depression of the 30's and raised until age 12 on this primitive Canadian farm.
A team of oxen and a primitive
Johnny (Dr. John), age twelve on the family farm
plow were used to till the soil, to
grow crops and a large garden. A well, dug by hand with a shovel and pick thirty feet into the ground, provided water. A wood burning stove and heater was used for heating and cooking, coal oil lamps for lighting, and an out house in the bush for a toilet. There was no electricity, no running water, or indoor plumbing, no phone or radio, and this was over two decades before television was even invented. There were a few cows for milk and butter, a small flock of chickens for eggs and meat, and a rifle to shoot prairie chickens, rabbits, and deer, for food.
You might say this was roughing it big time, but you see when you don't know any different...it was home, where everyone shared with love.
There was no school or teacher available until Johnny was nine years old, but mother Bright did what she could, with her grade five education. Father Bright, although uneducated, taught the children how to plant and care for the garden.
At age nine, Johnny started school. The school consisted of a small log building with just one room housing forty students from grades one through eight, all being taught by one teacher. By age twelve he had been dragged through six grades, with a succession of seventeen different teachers. The teachers would stick it out for an average of two months each.
At age twelve, he was the only child left at home, and when his parents were given a gift of train tickets to B. C. to visit relatives, he was left to tend the farm over the summer holidays. His sister, then a school teacher, kept him company, and when they received a letter stating his parents were not coming back, she put him on a train to travel to B. C. on his own.
The culture shock was enormous, with the big city life of Vancouver, with large schools and only one teacher per grade. Johnny was obligated to drop out of school in grade ten, at age sixteen, to help support his then unemployed father. Working full time, he continued his education at night school.
He trained to be a carpenter and cabinet maker, and by age thirty-two he bought into a factory. One year later, he bought out his partner and operated the factory for the next decade. He sold the factory and operated a construction business for the next two decades, selling out and retiring at the age of sixty.
In 1991, Dr. John began his Spiritual journey, graduating a six year R.S.I college course, in 1997. He graduated from the University of Metaphysics as an ordained minister, receiving his Master's degree in 2000, and his Doctorate in 2002. He also obtained a degree in Life Coaching and Spiritual Psychology. He founded the Centre for Awakening Spiritual Growth, in 1999, and changed the name to Canadian International Metaphysical Ministry, in 2005.
Dr. John married his wife, Iris, in 1951, and celebrated their 60th anniversary on May 4, 2011, just prior to Iris's passing, on May 23rd. They have three children, four grandchildren, and three great grandsons.

U.S. stock indexes posted modest gains Monday, and the Dow ended with an eighth gain in a row, extending an uptrend on signs of easing trade tensions between the U.S. and China.
Need to know: Relax. The stock market won't crash this year—it can't?!?—and here's why
What are markets doing?
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.51% closed up 68.24 points, or 0.3%, to 24,899.41, marking its eighth straight advance and the longest positive streak since one that ended Sept. 20.
The S&P 500 SPX, -0.04% added 2.41 points, or 0.1%, to 2,730.13, with gains in energy, up 0.6%, and health care, advancing 0.7%, more than offsetting declines in real estate, industrials and telecommunications, which were off at least 0.4%.
The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.21% climbed by 8.43 points, or 0.1%, at 7,411.32.
All three benchmarks finished off their best levels of the day.
Meanwhile, the Russell 2000 index RUT, -0.79% of small-capitalization shares, which has been outperforming over the past three months, finished lower after coming within striking distance of an intraday record at 1,615.52 set on Jan. 24, and closed down 0.4% at 1,600.34.
Last week, the Dow rose 2.3%, the S&P 500 advanced 2.4%, and the Nasdaq climbed 2.7%.

What is driving the markets?
Stocks have been buoyant on the back of the perception that the Wall Street may be turning a corner on concerns that have been holding investors back, including trade issues with China.
Some fresh optimism was injected in to the market ahead of the trade talks tentatively scheduled for this week between the U.S. and China. President Donald Trump said in a tweet on Sunday that he was working with Chinese President Xi Jinping to keep struggling Chinese telecom giant ZTE ZTCOY, -3.69% 0763, +0.97% in business.
Read: Trump administration braces for criticism from U.S. companies over China tariffs
ZTE was hit by sanctions roughly a month ago. The measures ban U.S. companies from selling to it, but Trump tweeted that he has asked for a stay of that order, as ZTE said its survival is being threatened.
Optimism over corporate earnings also has helped to keep the markets afloat, though the 10-year Treasury benchmark yield TMUBMUSD10Y, -0.07% flirting with a level at around 3%, tested investors' comfort levels, keeping the market's advance in check. Rising yields tend to mean higher costs for major corporations and can peel money away from stocks. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar saw muted trade, with its recent rally, begun in April, moderating over the past four sessions. A stronger currency can be a headwind for companies with overseas businesses, making their products more costly.
Economic preview: Inflation pause lends helping hand to borrowers
What are strategists saying?
"We're getting a bump higher on this trade news, since it seems like Trump is backing off his rhetoric with China. He came out very aggressively, but now he's walking that back, which is encouraging," said Paul Nolte, portfolio manager at Kingsview Asset Management.
"Now, I don't think the concerns are fully out of the market. We're still seeing higher interest rates and valuations are still at the high end of their historical range," he said. "We're a bit more overweight on bonds with a shorter-term duration than equities, though we still like tech, which continues to perform well and see strong earnings growth."
What stocks are in focus?
Xerox Corp. XRX, -4.39% shares dropped 4.3% after the technology firm said it would abandon its merger deal with Fujifilm Holdings Corp. 4901, -1.03% as it reached a settlement with two of its biggest shareholders. Subsequently, analysts at J.P. Morgan downgraded the stock to neutral, saying the terminated deal elevated near-term risks.
Shares of Symantec Corp. SYMC, -0.49% rose 9.6%. The gain after it plummeted 35% Friday on the back of the company's audit committee announcing an internal investigation, which spurred a number of analyst downgrades. On Monday, the company said it had scheduled an "investor briefing call" and that it would "provide more information on the previously announced internal investigation."
Sears Holdings Corp. US:SHLD rose 6.7% after the struggling retailer announced it would begin the formal process of exploring a sale of assets including the Kenmore brand.
Shares of Tesla Inc. TSLA, -4.26% fell 3%. Matthew Schwall, a senior executive who is the company's main technical contact with U.S. safety regulators, has reportedly left for rival Waymo LLC. That comes after news Tesla's top engineer overseeing auto development was taking a sabbatical.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. JPM, +0.05% plans to assume majority ownership of its Chinese fund-management joint venture, its latest step toward establishing a firmer foothold in China after Beijing recently relaxed its rules for foreign ownership of financial firms. Shares of the bank ended flat.
Helios & Matheson Analytics Inc. HMNY, -8.11% the majority owner of MoviePass, rose 4.8% in early trading. The stocks plummeted nearly 70% last week.
The VanEck Vectors Gaming ETF BJK, -0.08% rose 1.9% after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of New Jersey in a case that could open sports betting around the country.
Energy shares rose broadly, supported by a rise in the price of crude oil. Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM, +0.56% rose 0.9% while Marathon Oil Corp. MRO, -1.21% was up 2.2%.
Among the technology stocks supporting the market, Microsoft Corp. MSFT, +3.31% rose 0.3% and Google-parent Alphabet Inc. GOOGL, +0.58% class A shares rose 0.3%.
Which Fed speakers are in the spotlight
Among Federal Reserve speakers in the spotlight Monday, Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester in a speech in Paris said the central bank may need to raise interest rates above 3%. She said the Fed may be looking at higher interest rates to achieve stable inflation and low unemployment goals.
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said that cryptocurrencies were taking the country back to the 1830s, citing the inefficiency of different currencies trading at different rates at different times.
What are other markets doing?
Asian markets were higher, with Malaysian stocks FBMKLCI, -0.07% volatile as markets opened for the first time since the surprise election win for Mahathir Mohamad's opposition coalition.
European stocks SXXP, -0.21% ended mostly lower as traders tracked developments in Italian politics.

Brent oil futures UK:LCON8 settled at a 3 1/2-year high, while West Texas Intermediate crude US:CLM8 rose 0.4%.

There's this thing about mussels I can't describe, they're so enticing, and so satisfying. For some reason, when I make them at home, I feel like such an accomplished cook. You see, the secret is all in the broth. My twist on the broth consists of a dry red wine, butter, olive oil, garlic, shallots, lime, sea salt, pepper, and a just a pinch of saffron.
This is one sexy dish! Super easy to make and very inexpensive. Paired with Caesar salad, a crisp glass of rose or white wine and some crusty bread! Romantic dinner, friendly brunch or to be indulged in all alone. Delicioso.

Porto Santo
Porto © Raul Lieberwirth
Madeira's sister island, Porto Santo, lies 42 miles (68km) northeast of its larger sibling and was actually discovered before Madeira itself. In 1418, Portuguese mariners João Gonçalves Zarco and Tristão Vaz Teixeira stumbled across it while running from a storm.
Unlike Madeira, Porto Santo is rather bleak and barren. However, its southern coast is bordered by a lovely 5 mile (8km) stretch of beach fringed with soft golden sand. This, together with its temperate climate, has turned Porto Santo into a popular holiday resort.
The main town on the island is Vila Baleira, which was visited by Christopher Columbus. There is a scenic park in the town, some cafés and pretty cobblestone streets lined with stucco houses. Visitors can catch one of several regular daily flights to and from Madeira, or ferry from Funchal harbour to Porto Santo.

TONGUE RIVER. The Tongue River, also called the South Pease River, rises eleven miles west of Roaring Springs in southwest Motley County (at 33°51' N, 100°57' W). The unusual name is said to bear reference to the black tongue, a nineteenth-century disease which killed many buffalo in the region. The river begins at an elevation of 2,600 feet and flows east to northeast for forty miles to its mouth on the Middle Pease River in western Cottle County, within the boundary of the Matador Wildlife Management Area (at 34°08' N, 100°24' W). The stream flows through rugged ranchland marked by numerous adjoining canyons and drainages. During its journey, the Tongue River descends over 850 feet through territory where clay and sandy loams support various grasses. Roaring Springs, once a popular gathering place for Indians, buffalo hunters, cowboys, and settlers, was located on the river four miles downstream from its origin.

To even the most casual sports fan, the various roles of those on the sideline seem obvious. The coaches coach, the players compete, and the athletic trainers help the players stay in top physical shape and recuperate from injuries.
The athletic training profession has a much larger, and important, scope of work that extends far beyond the playing field. In fact, athletic trainers in the sports setting – whether at the professional, collegiate or youth level– account for just half of all athletic trainers.
Although the health professionals with whom athletic trainers collaborate understand the significant and important role they play in the delivery of health care, there is still a misunderstanding about athletic trainers. I've been an avid sports fan my entire life, cheering for the Atlanta Braves since I was a young enough to swing a bat. I'm a doctor, but even I was surprised to learn the full range of services that athletic trainers provide. And that's a shame, because they fill a critical role in the health care system.
Let's first start with the education and training athletic trainers receive, which is extensive and rigorous. To be an athletic trainer, a person must obtain a bachelor's degree in a program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Recently, the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance decided that the profession will soon require a master's degree as a minimum educational requirement. Since more than 70 percent of athletic trainers currently hold at least a master's degree, this change is simply keeping in line with the educational standards of the profession itself.
Athletic training education includes comprehensive patient care in five domains of clinical practice: prevention, clinical evaluation and diagnosis, immediate and emergency care, treatment and rehabilitation, and organization and professional health and well-being. Upon completion of a CAATE-accredited training education program, students are eligible for national certification by successfully completing the Board of Certification, Inc. examination; and as with many health care professionals, athletic trainers undergo continuous education to maintain the ATC credential.
Another common misconception is that these professionals are limited to the sports world, but these jobs account for only half of athletic trainers. Outside the world of professional, collegiate and youth sports, athletic trainers often work in a variety of settings, including physician practices, hospitals, orthopedic clinics, occupational health departments, police and fire departments, performing arts centers, and in all branches of the United States military. For instance, an athletic trainer may help a professional ballet dancer treat a minor injury or advise a patient on ways to fend off specific workplace injuries by showing them how to move differently as they perform repetitive or physically intense job tasks. Professionals may also be actively engaged in youth athlete safety issues, such as concussion prevention and the promotion of physical activity.
As health care professionals, athletic trainers often take patient histories, evaluate, measure, and fit patients for orthotics, educate patients on how to wear and use orthotics, and provide advice and treatment on injury prevention, among other services under the direction of a physician. However, in many ways, athletic trainers operate as independent health care professionals, with guidance from a physician and the scope of their services defined by the laws of the state in which they are licensed to practice.
As the delivery of health care services continues to evolve, the niche role that athletic trainers fill is likely to increase in demand. Many within the health care industry predict a physician shortage in the near future, which means doctors will need to rely on athletic trainers more than ever. With specific training and focused experience, they have the knowledge and bandwidth to expand upon the health care services provided by a physician. When doctors refer patients to athletic trainers, they free up time to see more patients, thereby giving each patient the specialized attention they deserve. Believe me, as a physician, I can tell you that having more time to see patients benefits everyone.
Unfortunately, the athletic training profession continues to be misunderstood. For example, athletic trainers work in conjunction with other health care providers in providing orthotic services to patients in integrated health systems, hospital-based, multidisciplinary orthopedic practices, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and physician offices. However, many commercial insurers, and of particular significance, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), fail to recognize the level of education, training, and skills of athletic trainers, as evidenced by the recent release of a proposed rule updating the requirements for practitioners of prosthetics and custom-fabricated orthotics. Within the proposed rule, CMS published a list of professionals eligible to become qualified practitioners of custom-fabricated orthotics. Although athletic trainers' expertise in orthotics exceeds, or is equal to that of the health care professionals identified by CMS as eligible to become qualified practitioners of custom-fabricated orthotics, athletic trainers were not included.
Although some commercial insurers cover the cost of an athletic trainer's services, Medicare and Medicaid do not cover such medical expenses – something that needs to be reassessed as the demand for athletic trainers continues to increase and doctors rely on their services with increasing frequency. Quite frankly, the fact that athletic trainers frequently treat million-dollar athletes, but may not be able to treat an elderly patient recovering from a hip injury because it isn't covered by Medicare is disingenuous.
With the anticipated changes in the delivery of care, athletic trainers are uniquely qualified to be an asset to both doctors and patients. It's time for the health care industry, government, and insurers to understand the full scope and invaluable services provided by athletic trainers. We'll all be better for it.

For some time I've been trying various cocktails. Some time ago it was at bars, but that is generally expensive and means a certain loss of control of the ingredients. It also means being limited to what the bar has in stock and what the bartender knows or is willing to look up (or deal with). So I started acquiring spirits and liqueurs so I could mix things myself. This has grown to the point I suspect I can mix a good many things not to be found anywhere else in (this rather small) town. Granted, that's easy when the local VFW lacks Galliano and thus can't even make a simple Harvey Wallbanger.
For a while, I've been a bit hesitant about the Jasmine. Supposedly it tastes "just like" grapefruit. I held off, as I can't stand grapefruit. There's some chemical in it that I can taste (and evidently jmaynard cannot) that is irredeemably nasty. It's bitter to the point of evil.
But today I decided to risk it, if only to clear the recipe page off of my browser's open tabs.
So I mixed this thing:
• 1 1/2 ounces gin (I used Broker's. I suspect most any decent gin will do.[1])
• 3/4 ounce fresh-squeezed lemon juice (I went with store-bought bottled. I had it.)
• 1/4 ounce Campari
• 1/4 ounce Cointreau
And I omitted the garnish. And, to me... it tasted sort of like grapefruit, only without the nasty bitter note. I had Jay try it. He pronounced it identical in flavor to grapefruit. So now I know what people who don't taste the nasty bitter note taste: something that actually isn't bad.
[1] The exception is that this is probably NOT a good drink for Hendrick's gin. The cucumber of Hendrick's would be rather out of place here.

Kids planting tobacco
NGO News Report :: Following the National Labour Policy, using kids from 5 to 14 years in any work is a punishable offence, but the Policy appears inactive for tobacco farming, and children, between 10 to 13 years old, are seen planting toxic tobacco plant on the farmlands of Daktarghata village under Kachhapia union of Ramu upzilla, Cox'sBazar, reads a report on The Daily Prothom Alo on February 12, 2015. Majority of the kids are poverty stricken and are to work on the tobacco fields to support family income. They are to work from 6.00am to 3.00pm, but are ill paid and five to six times less than adult labours' rate. Adjacent villages are following the same trend of child labour. When asked about the child labour, local farmers replied that they are using kids for the lack of adult workers.
The UP member of Garjania Union Parishad said that children mostly engage into tobacco planting because of their poverty and even they miss their classes too. He also said that the guardians do not bother about the issue and many of the females and kids are getting affected with different diseases. The local agro-office is trying to prevent tobacco farming in the locality in different ways and continued their monitoring. It is reported that about 12,000 acres of lands have been used in Cox'sBazar, Ramu, Chakaria, Alikadam and the other surrounding areas and about 60,000 people are involved in the farming process and 20,000 of them are children. Even the doctors are on the view that labours engaged into tobacco farming may experience different diseases like cancer, bronchitis, asthma and other respiratory disorders, reads the report.
The detail of the report is available on the following link:
Birds leaving nest for tobacco
Earlier, different types of birds used to visit the paddy field in Khagrachharhi district for hunting insects and left over paddies but they rarely appear on the areas as the paddy fields have turned into tobacco plantations, reads another report on The Daily Prothom Alo. Birds usually avoid tobacco fields and environment pollutions for using chemical insecticides on the fields have taken the birds to a fictional level. Birds are only seen in places where tobacco is not grown. Experts are on the view that for the rampant tobacco cultivation on the district, the birds will be extinct some day and the environmental balance will be destroyed too.

Crispin: The Cross of Lead by Avi
Winner, 2003 Newbery Award
Quick Summary
In England in 1377 A.D., thirteen-year-old Crispin (known as "Asta's son") finds himself on the run after being falsely accused of theft after the death of his mother.
Favorite Quote
Still, what assaulted my senses more than anything—from the sheer numbers of people of all ages and the ensuing cacophony—was the stench that filled the air: rotting goods, food, dung, manure, human slop, and swill, mixed together into such a ghastly brew as to make me want to swoon.
About the Author
Avi published his first book in 1970. Raised in Brooklyn, he currently lives in Colorado "in a log house in the Rocky Mountains." Crispin: The Cross of Lead was his fiftieth book.
My Project
For the background, I wanted to create an ancient wall since that fits some of the themes in the book. People are divided by class, religion, and misunderstandings, but there are also literal walls like the one surrounding Great Wexly where the last part of the book takes place. I used broken Popsicle sticks for the bricks which I painted a muddy brown/black. I added a little sand to give the wall a clumpy, uneven texture.
Of course I added the lead cross from the title, although mine is actually made with roughly hand cut recycled brass that I painted dull black and gray. I actually painted the entire cross a dark, uniform gray, but as I was putting it together I decided I liked how the back of the cross looked with the uneven color variations and used that as the front. You may see some very faint text on the brass, but you probably can't quite read it, which seems perfect for the book as the main character cannot read.
Final Thoughts
This book started slowly for me with a dreary setting and a subservient narrator who didn't have any thoughts of his own. (The book opens: "The day after my mother died, the priest and I wrapped her body in a gray shroud and carried her to the village church.") The story picked up considerably once Crispin meets a juggler known as Bear who is lively and opinionated. I enjoyed seeing how the main character changed over the course of the book and the rough, authentic setting. The last part of the book has some thrilling moments at the main character keeps inadvertently running into the men who want to kill him. A sequel titled Crispin: At The Edge of the World was published in 2006.
Your Turn
Readers: If you read this book, I'd love to hear what you think in the comments.

Hi guys,
I've had such a busy day today, we had to go and get my son a new car seat, and I had to change a couple of tops, so of course that turned into a full shopping session! We went to IKEA as well, which takes a day in itself!
I announced my 30 follower giveaway yesterday and promised I'd have swatches of the polishes up tonight, so here they are!
|Catherine Arley 673
|Catherine Arley 805
|Hedys Ma.Nish.Ma Blaster and Way Out Fucsia
|My full mani of these polishes
The holos are Catherine Arley 673 and 805. 673 is a gorgeous grape purple with a scattered holo effect and 805 is a black with scattered holo. The holo effect in these is very similar to in A England polishes, where sometimes it looks almost linear. The formula on both was really smooth, I used two coats for the black and three for the purple.
The glass fleck polishes are Hedys Ma.Nish.Ma Blaster and Way Out Fuscia (their spelling, not mine...). Blaster is a purple/blue duochrome and Way Out Fuscia is a pink polish with a shift to blue, with orange at extreme angles. My photos show one coat of each layered over black. My index and ring fingers show Blaster, and I have Way Out Fuscia on my middle and little fingers. My thumb shows half and half.
I decided yesterday that seeing as I layered these polishes, that the prize would be incomplete without a black. So I will be adding a black to the prize!
These means that the winner of this giveaway will win all four of the polishes shown above, with a black creme as well. It's worth mentioning that the polishes I swatched are my own, you'll be winning new, unused polishes!
It's definitely worth joining to win this prize! As I mentioned yesterday the draw will be on Sunday 10th June at 12pm GMT.

A vicar, self-dubbed as "heaven's angel", has set an inaugural world record after clocking a little above 114mph in his custom built motorcycle hearse.
The Rev Ray Biddiss, 57, from Halifax, West Yorkshire, hit 114.1mph in his specially built "trike-hearse" known as The Rocket.
The clergyman only had to reach a speed of more than 80mph during the ride at Elvington Airfield to be recognised by Guinness World Records.
Liversedge-based DTB Panther Trikes built The Rocket using a Triumph Rocket III with a 2.3-litre, three cylinder engine to meet the reverend's specifications, while keeping it within the relevant road traffic regulations.
The unique hybrid trike-hearse merges the body of the British-made 2008 Triumph Rocket III trike conversion with a coffin carrier to create a sleek black and chrome hearse outfit, the firm said.
Mr Biddiss, who has been biking for more than 40 years, said he uses The Rocket for real funeral services.
He added: "Many people who are or have been bikers agree that a motorcycle hearse is the only way to travel for your final journey."

WINE, TEES, & CHEESE is coming soon (December 17) and since we kind of sprung this on you it's only fair to give you a headstart. Listed below are all the ins and out of what it is to speed network and how to be good at at it, according to Ivan Minser, writer of Speed Networking & Beyond" at entrepenuer.com
What is speed networking? A great way to meet other business professionals in a short period of time and build professional relationships that last.
The potential downside to speed networking is if someone thinks this is "all" they have to do to network effectively. The key to making speed networking work, is to take those contacts and develop them over time into "credible" relationships that lead to "profitable" referral partners.
So how do you go about participating in a speed networking exercise with the proper focus to make the most of your time? Here are several points to consider:
1. Start with the end in mind. You're not there to bag the big one. You're not there to eliminate referral sources or referral partners. You're there to find ways to connect with each and every person you have the opportunity to sit (or stand) in front of for that one- to two-minute period.
If you view the speed networking exercise as a type of catalyst event, you're already thinking with the end in mind. While you will not, realistically, become close friends with every person in the room, you're increasing your potential referral sources by meeting many people in one setting.
2. Conduct the exercise as a mini interview. Think in terms of what you can find out about the person you're meeting. That'll allow you to help further the goals of that individual. Forget about mining her database or trying to determine who she knows to further your goals. In working to mutually benefit one another, ask questions that'll clarify where and how you can best help your new referral source.
3. Make notes during the exercise. If you're not provided some type of contact card on which you can jot notes while in the exercise, be sure to use your own pad of paper to write down the information you discover. Be sure to note the person's interests and goals you could help achieve.
4. Follow up. If you don't follow up with those you meet during the speed networking exercise, you will only have succeeded in wasting your time–which is exactly what you were trying to avoid by attending the event in the first place. Collect the business cards of each person you sit with during the exercise. The magic happens after the exercise, in the weeks and months to come.
Set appointments with each person, not to convince them they need your product, but with the intention of becoming better acquainted, finding out what their needs are and how you can positively impact their lives. You'll realize the reason you went to the speed networking exercise in the first place: to develop more referral business.
Thanks Ivan, those were great tips. The HPPL crew hopes to see you and our readers test them out at Wine, Tees, & Cheese this December. We'll have eggnog…and wine.

Executive Director of the Del Mar Village Association Discusses Past Year
The Del Mar Village Association wants to see Del Mar thrive as a 21st century neighborhood while at the same time remain true to its historic small-town roots.
DMVA is a Main Street organization, a methodology which works with local businesses, city government, commercial property owners and residents in order to support mom-and-pop shops, thus maintaining the community-oriented vibe of Del Mar Village.
"Main Streets are focused on keeping downtowns vital and economically healthy," says Jen Grove, executive director of the DMVA. "They developed because big box stores–in the Midwest more than this area–were taking away the commerce from downtowns. And so the idea was how can you invigorate and revitalize the downtown, bring it back to self-empowerment, keep it economically healthy, bring people back in, to keep the small stores–the mom-and-pops–operating." Other communities in San Diego utilize the Main Street approach, including Encinitas, Cardiff, Leucadia and North Park.
The trademarked Main Street Four-Point Approach covers the areas of design, economic restructuring, promotion, and organization. "What we represent is three distinct groups," says Grove. "Residents, commercial property owners, and businesses. And the idea is that everyone is a stakeholder in the downtown. And because of that by working together in concert we are able to do a better job of representing the downtown, of making sure that we put things in that don't upset the residents, and that we do things that will economically help businesses."
In terms of the aesthetic appearance of Del Mar, the DMVA is working to incorporate more public art into the area. For instance, they are currently considering emulating a unique look created in the Cedros Avenue Design District in Solana Beach. "They've got fish that go across the crosswalk," says Grove. "The idea is, are there ways to aesthetically bring in art and other kind of more novel streetscape components as opposed to just putting in the concrete and steel that you normally see in a downtown."
DMVA is also dedicated to preserving Del Mar's history and making sure the next generation of Del Martians has a sense of their community's past. Every year the third-graders at Del Mar Heights get to participate in a history walk that includes the train station, the yogurt shop and the library. They finish the day at Powerhouse Park and a Sheriff's helicopter flies in and lands, and the children get to meet the first responders who fly the helicopter.
The DMVA organizes many events, including the Del Mar Village Pop-Up Culture, the Susan G. Komen 3 Day for the Cure, Santa by the Sea, and Summer Solstice. Sadly, it rained on the day of the The Taste of Del Mar & Artisan Stroll, and many artists decided not to come. However, enough people attended that it was considered a success. Events, says Grove, have many advantages, such as building a sense of community among residents, promoting the area by bringing in tourists, and helping businesses.
New businesses are also on their way. The Tasting Room Del Mar will be opening soon as well as a new brewery on San Dieguito Road, and a new shoe store and Samata Spa opened earlier this year. Independent businesses are vital to keeping the community-type vibe that the DMVA works so hard to maintain. "It's very small-town oriented," says Grove. "It's just not a mall. So it's very different. It's not like we have a big corporate management that dictates how things are done here. These are mom-and-pops, some of them have been running the stores for many years."
Overall, the DMVA hopes to continue their multifaceted work to make Del Mar the quaint and unique town it always has been and still is. "Lots of different hats we're wearing to try to help downtown be vital," says Grove. Ultimately that's the objective, to make it someplace that there's civic pride…There's never really a dull moment here. There's always something going on."

Glenn Hughes
Tuesday 21st October, 2003The Mean Fiddler, London, UK
Charlie Farrell
Its been a few years since I last saw Mr Hughes play in London. His flirtation
with the funkier side of music didn't particularly appeal to me and I was seriously
disappointed by the set he played when touring with his Return Of the Crystal Karma
album. However reports that he had returned to playing more rock-orientated music
and excellent reviews of his most recent disk Songs in the key of Rock gave
me the motivation to check him out once again.
Equipped once again with a very capable group of Swedish musicians, but with only
longtime cohort J.J.Marsh remaining from the band I'd seen 3 or 4 years back, Mr
Hughes came on stage around 9pm, looking extreemly healthy. The band opened with
In My Blood from his new album and set the tone for the rest of the set,
which was that he was definately in the mood to rock.
The Hughes/Thrall Project number First Step of Love and a couple
more numbers from the new album, including one dedicated to John 'Bonzo' Bonham of
Led Zeppelin followed before he dipped right back into his back catalogue,
to a song that Glenn told us he "wrote when I was 18". Entitled Seafull,
it was a tune from the Trapeze album Medusa and enhanced by lovely
keyboards from Lasse Pollack it was by far the most progressive tune he played all
evening and something that I'm going to have to investigate further.
After a number from his previous disk Building The Machine, we were then
treated to a stunning version of Deep Purple's Mistreated. Sure it is
a tune made famous by David Coverdale, but it is some time since he performed it
live and it was sheer delight to hear it interpreted by a voice which could do
the song justice. Though Glenn had a tendency to go over the edge to the 'screamy'
side of his voice during the gig, here he kept it perfectly under control and J.J.
Marsh executed Ritchie Blackmore's solo parts to a tee. Fantastic stuff and
worth the admission price alone.
After this, the following number Wherever You Go was a letdown, but they
picked up once again with a further Deep Purple tune. This time Glenn chose
to pay homage to Tommy Bolin in the form of Getting Tighter, from the
Come Taste The Band album. This turned into a lengthy jam with all of the
musicians demonstrating their chops but brought the set to an early close.
Fortunately the band returned and once again we were treated to something out
of the ordinary as they launched into Seventh Star from Tony Iommi's
solo disk, Seventh Star, recorded when Glenn was singing for Black Sabbath.
Then it was back to Glenn's Purple-era material for Keep on Moving and a rousing
set closer of Burn, which no Glenn Hughes's gig would be right without. It
wasn't the best rendition I'd heard as by this stage Glenn had resorted to screaming
just a little too much when reaching for the high notes, but it brought to an end
a fine concert and confirmed the press's opinion that Hughes is rejuvenated. Roll
on next year's Hughes Turner project tour!

If you do some researches, you may come into some facts that said there are two different feelings that most people will face when it comes to any living room decorations. First, some people may think of decorating the living room is a kind of very challenging and difficult thing to be done as there are too many living room decorating ideas to be chosen from out there. Second, there are some others who have the thought of decorating the living room will be a joyful experience from the very first time because they will be able to explore more about their ideas, imagination, and creativity.
Living Room Decorations: Paintings, Furniture, and Lightings
Actually, there are only three basic things that you need to know more if you are about to have a plan on doing living room decorations in the near future. First of all, it is about the living room wall and ceiling paintings. When you come to someone's house for the first time, the very first thing that may catch your attention is about the whole color paintings of the living room. Secondly, it is about the living room furniture. Whether you are coming to a house which has a small living room or a very big living room, you may want to look at the furniture. Thirdly is about the living room lighting fixtures. Lighting has long been known as one important part of room décor. Wall lamps can be a very good idea to have as living room wall decorations.
All of those basic things: wall and ceiling paintings, furniture, and lighting fixtures are considered to be the most important parts of the living room decorations. Stylish and chic living room furniture may mean nothing without the right paintings and lightings choice. These decorations complete and support each other and cannot be separated. Practically, as long as you can do the right thing for fulfilling every function of these decorations, it can be sure that you will have the most convenient living room area.

The Gamer Nerd was founded on the premise of a love for gaming. Nerds have this tendency to take things to an obsessive level, the terms "obsessive" and "nerd" go hand and hand. From rule sticklers and gaming purists to weekend warriors and hangout gamers —there's a place for everyone.
Friendships are made and broken over gaming. There were Sega households and Nintendo households back in the day, and then Playstation or Xbox, now its Console or PC. There are card gamers and board gamers. There are sports gamers and fantasy gamers. There are the mobile gamers who fight over Android or iOS supremacy. Once we get past the rivalries, its all about having fun.
The Gamer Nerd is a group of contributors with varied gaming tastes ready to showcase what's in their system, on their table, or in their pocket. We hope to foster a community where more gamers can let their nerd show—whether it be to boast about a high score, flaunt their collection, or help someone make a buying decision.

The logical resolution of the same sex marriage issue is to add a new definition which is exactly this Same-Sex-Marriage. Its different to Marriage. And similarly we would have Same-Sex-Defacto relationship and Defacto Relationship.
As a demographer and actuary and long tome studier of the contingencies of life, I expect when we have enough consistent data to study it, we will find that the following significant determinants of population growth and household formation will be significantly different for Marriage and Same-Sex-Marriage:
* Fertility rates by age
* Union commencement by age
* Household formation by age
* Family size by age
In the 2011 Australian Census, the definition of Same-Sex-Marriage was introduced no doubt with this very purpose in mind. http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/lookup/2071.0main+features852012-2013
Purely from a logic point of view without any reference to religious practice or definitions, I see no reason why demographers and personal users of a conventional term Marriage should have their attachment to it redefined. It would be like saying people who have adopted classification as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, will have people of Chinese extraction included in this definition in future.

With this world of commerce and business, the place funds is created within the thousands and thousands, company safety expert services engage in a serious position. Actually, they engage in a huge component in enabling the Security Services Northumberland offers to occur to begin with; with out a confirmed protection it might be just about not possible for organization offers to endure – at least not the lawful kinds.
Outsourcing Security Based on the sort of company an organization promotions in, it is going to ordinarily have a very office that handles its protection and related difficulties. Although this will likely seem to be the default plan there is certainly another choice: outsourcing the security of the enterprise to other organizations whose sole goal of existence should be to give company protection providers.
This can assist the employing organizations in two important methods:
1 – To start with, it will enable the hiring enterprise to focus on what it does very best and leave the safety troubles on the company which will cope with it improved. This allows for your leaner business that doesn't really need to fear about concerns that doesn't problem its main business enterprise, and additionally, it will save quite a bit by averting the overhead and budget necessary to acquire an in-house stability section.
2 – The second motive is that ensuring stability is a thing that needs to retain altering as threats evolve. And also to keep up using the hottest protection concerns, ways to tackle them and how to finest carry out a protected zone and many others. a corporation would want to generally be 100% committed in the direction of that goal. This could either charge an organization too significantly or would not be capable to satisfy the calls for which can be wanted in today's globe of threats. To get a stability program to get effective it should be 100% leak evidence – basically it truly is both deterrent or it is not (you can find no these kinds of detail as 99% stability).
Kinds Of Outsourcing At present the outsourcing of safety might be categorized into two big styles. The main is actually a situation wherever the outsourcing is finished 100%. This suggests the corporation that provides the company stability solutions are going to be dependable for each and every aspect of the clients' protection demands. It's going to take care of the safety starting within the entry to your premises from the enterprise as much as the guarding in the workplaces of each top rated amount administrator's business and will even lengthen to offering a physique guard for her or him.
The 2nd kind of outsourcing is completed partially. On this scenario, the shopper firm may perhaps choose to give only section of your protection position towards the protection company. This may be for several causes like the truth that there is sensitive areas wherever only the firm's personnel are allowed or the company by now features a section that handles stability and just wants a assist.

"Even as we learn how this happened and who's responsible, we may never understand what leads anybody to terrorize their fellow human beings like this," Obama said. "Such violence, such evil is senseless. It's beyond reason."
In that last sentence, the reference is unclear. Are the understanding of such actions beyond the capability of reason, or are the acts themselves beyond reason? If the shooter had more carefully reasoned during the formulation of his plan, he would not have so acted "beyond reason." I think however that our capability to understand the event can be well within the bounds of reason. In many such events, the perpetrator is seeking justice for a series of real and imaginary injustices that have been endured.
The clear answer to this lies in the content of the shooters memory. However, does he still retain the intellectual capacity to relate the full content of his memory? And even if he does, can he be trusted to honestly convey the events that led to the reasons for his actions? In this respect, we are at the mercy of each other. We are all capable of lying to one another and because of the shooters actions, we should perhaps not trust him in this regard. And so for this reason, we might conclude that "We may never know..."
However, we do not need the detailed content of his memory; we can ascertain the general content instead. And for that we can examine the content of our own memories and we can speak in general terms as to the content of the memory of almost any man or woman.
We have all experienced injustices. The toddler experiences this when he sees a sibling favored. We experience this in grade school when a teacher's pet is favored. We have an innate sense of equality with one another and favoritism, without reason, is naturally seen as an injustice. For most of us, these little slights are ignored and we press on in life. After all, one might lose a contest of a flipping of a coin, but there are many coins ahead to flip in life.
For some though, it is a different story. The flipping of a coin is never fair. Have you ever witnessed someone being bullied? Have you ever known a classmate who was a universal source of scorn within the social order of the classroom? Have you witnessed or heard of these events where abuse was heaped for no other reason than the random circumstances of the object person's birth and upbringing. Examine your own conscience and place it in the consciousness of the scorned individual and honestly imagine the experiencing of such events. Perhaps your thoughts might go like this, when you wake up in the morning for another day of school and look into the mirror.
- You can see that you are not as beautiful as those who are favored in your school.
- You can see that your family is poor and uneducated.
- You can see that your clothes are old and worn.
- You know that you will be bullied once again today, by virtually everyone in your school.
- You can see that you can end your own life and you have read that many people in your circumstances do indeed take such a final act.
- You can see that you can instead endure the pain for as long as you can and hope for something better.
- You can get used to the fact that every word you utter will be met with derision and laughter.
- You can get used to the fact that the system of justice in your society permits these torments.
- You have no friends, there is nobody to whom you can speak of these things.
- You have sense of justice derived from the same rational observation of the universe visible to one and all: we are all born equal to one another, whether or not God exists.
- Although you see the equality of human birth, it is apparent that society and its systems of justice do not uphold this truth in the case of you.
Now, imagine many years passing by and the improvement hoped for did not occur. Although blatant physical bullying does not occur so often as an adult, you are still not included in the social invitations. You still have no friends. You are not one of those who are favored in the university classroom. You cannot find employment in anything other than menial jobs. Add to this, for good measure, some very unpleasant memories from childhood; perhaps you were abused to the point where you felt that the sum of the value of your life was not more than that of a trash can or a toilet. Eventually, you find yourself wishing that you had never been born and suicide becomes more attractive, no longer at the dusk, but at the dawn of each new day.
For many like you, who have endured far less than you, suicide is the sad resolution. But, you, before you take that act, you think of justice, that there should be justice in the world.
If God exists, he is not just, you think, because he created a world where a child would have to endure a life like yours.
If God does not exist, the world is not just, you think, because it did not afford you a mechanism to request, with full dignity and right and respect, an injunction against those who were tormenting you.
For twenty four years the Colorado theater shooter lived as his brothers keeper. We do not know the extent of any abuse he might suffered as a child. We can know that those who endure such things wish there was a mechanism to clear their memories of such events. They have the bitter taste of the knowledge of the evil to which man is capable of descent. they would prefer death than to have to speak of the events. We do not know the quantity of injustices he endured while growing up.
But we can know that his act, as are all such attacks, a final attempt to bring justice to the world. Did he, as others who act like this, conceive of a world conspired against him, a world where he was doomed to failure and derision in the eyes of his society stemming from the circumstances of his birth and childhood, over which he had no control, and extending into his adult life where his fellow students now remark that nobody knew the young man, that he had no friends at all?
Society then, for these past twenty four years, left this young man behind. There was nobody to carefully bring him forward. The child retreated into silence and darkness. We have to find a way to bring them forward.
In either form of universe, created or evolved, good and evil have the same definitions. Although expressed in different words in each one of us as toddlers and as infants, before we can speak or understand the language spoken by our family, we all discover the same question that is at the heart of all moral choices:
Am I my brother's keeper?
