Re the Jan. 30 story Groups appeal ruling to let Navy train near whales: The U.S. Navy's explanation that "only an occasional aquatic mammal will be killed" by its offshore underwater tests in the Atlantic ignores a basic biological fact: In the hunt for food, land-based mammals depend largely upon their sense of hearing and smell. So it is in the ocean.
Water is denser than air, therefore sound travels for great distances, particularly important in the vast ocean. The bursts of sound created by explosions and super-sonar blasts, at tremendous energy levels, might not not kill directly, but they will damage hearing organs. This will inevitably lead to animals not being able to locate food. They will get weaker and starve. Good for sharks, bad for porpoise and whales.
We put our atomic tests underground to protect human mammals. I suggest that one the people who are so certain that these tests are safe be in the water in SCUBA gear while the tests are being conducted. It is time we recognize that these are not fish. Stop using them as a disposable commodity and treat them with the humanity they deserve. Anyone who recently saw an Internet the dolphin coming to a swimming diver for help in removing line caught on its flipper must realize that, "Thou shalt not kill" is an applicable tenet for these thinking, feeling animals.

4 strikes against gold
Why the yellow metal might not be as valuable as some investors believe.
Exchange-traded funds in the gold market and gold stocks might not be as great as you've heard.
People are jumping on the gold bandwagon just like they jumped on the dot-com bandwagon and the real-estate bandwagon and every other bandwagon before them. Is this time different? Never mind gold's 20%-plus rise this year. It still has a lot of overlooked weaknesses as an asset class. Goldbugs won't like this, but here are just a few.
Strike 1: Produces No Income
What's among America's top financial problems? New findings from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College give us a clue.
Related Article: This Week's Top ETF Buys
CRR research shows a massive $6.6 trillion shortfall in retirement income. Contributing to this colossal problem are bank savings accounts, CDs, money market funds, corporate and government bonds all yielding a lot less than before because of rock-bottom interest rates. Simply put, Americans are strapped for income.
What about gold?
Unfortunately, investing in gold won't help average working or retired people to fix their retirement income deficits. Why? That's because a major drawback of gold is that it produces no income. And that's bad news, especially if you buy gold at the wrong price and it ends up going down or going nowhere.
Should people with an inadequate income stream or an income problem be betting the house on gold? The answer is absolutely not. And even individuals with sufficient retirement income should probably do a double take before overstuffing their investment portfolios with gold.
Strike 2: Long Periods of Underperformance
Proponents of gold investing are quick to remind curious onlookers that gold has never been worth zero. And while this is an interesting argument it conveniently omits a few things.
First, just because gold has never been worth zero doesn't mean it's always been a good investment. In fact, there have been many long periods of time when gold's performance was nothing short of awful. Are our memories that bad that we've already forgotten them? Let me help you remember.
Related Article: Precious Metals ETF Shining
After reaching a record high of $850 per ounce in January 1980, gold prices fell over -40% in two months. And even then, the worst wasn't over. It took gold 28 years to reclaim the $850 level. Will we see a repeat incident of gold's historical head fake?
Today, the fact that gold has become such a popular trade should raise some red flags. The crowd is rarely right and if they are it's usually short lived.
Strike 3: High Ownership Cost
Another overlooked facet of gold investing is the high ownership cost. If you're considering making an investment in physical gold, don't dismiss or ignore these significant expenses.
Acquiring physical gold in the form of coins or jewelry involves paying high transaction costs, commissions and possibly even sales tax. And then there's the additional cost of insuring the gold and storing it in a safe location. All of these things reduce the gold investor's return. Is the presumed "safety" of gold really worth all of these very real and very high costs?
Strike 4: Unfriendly Tax Treatment
Strike four against gold is its unfriendly tax treatment.
All gold and precious metals investments, including gold exchange traded funds and silver ETFs that take physical delivery are taxed by the Internal Revenue Service as collectibles, which is subject to a higher long-term capital gain rate of 28 percent versus securities. Under current tax law, most tax payers will pay a maximum long-term capital gain rate of either 5 or 15 percent depending on their income tax bracket.
Related Article: China ETFs Still Offering Potential Profits
For this reason, some investors are opting for gold securities like miners, small cap miners or countries with heavy exposure to the mining sector like South Africa.
Incidentally, this year's zero percent tax rate on long-term capital gains for individuals in the 10 percent or 15 percent marginal tax bracket applies to securities but does not apply to collectibles like gold or silver.
What and Whose Problems Is Gold Solving?
For the record, I'm not an anti-gold person. I happen to like it a lot, especially the way it looks on my wife.
However, gold fails to attack the crux of America's financial problems. As mentioned earlier, inadequate income is a $6.6 trillion dollar problem for working people between ages 32-64.
And as an asset that produces zero income gold is the wrong answer for America's income problems. (On the other hand, overheated gold sales definitely solves the income problem for gold hawkers, jewelry stores and coin dealers.)
This is not to say that gold does not deserve a place inside a diversified investment portfolio. It does. However, its place probably shouldn't be as large as some investors are making it.

At least one of our major Kentucky daily newspapers knows how to bring down Coach John Calipari a little – and maybe even hurt his feelings.

It would be an embarrassing shame if UK's new president, Dr. Eli Capilouto, had to start his tenure by having to go to Indianapolis and answer questions because some genius at UK who went out of his or her way to spit in the eye of the NCAA.

A crowd came out to Big Blue Country Sports Bar & Grill on Baxter Avenue to watch the University of Kentucky's NCAA semifinal game against the University of Connecticut on April 2. The Cats lost 56-55.

I promise I will only speak of "it" one time during this entire article. But with the recent upset, March Madness just doesn't have the same flair or energy as if the Cards were still playing. Therefore, I have been repeatedly dragged by my not-so-disappointed cohorts (who call themselves friends) to cheer on another Kentucky team that shall remain nameless.

All I know is that when I'm robbing somebody's house I make a point of locking myself in the bathroom because when you got to go you got to go and if somebody is in the bathroom in the middle of the night, Occam's razor says it's either a robber or Santa Clause, but either way shoot first.

Ray Lewis' character rehabilitation
The swing from accomplice to murder (testifying against the two men with whom he was involved in the deaths of Baker and Loller) to Super Bowl MVP and now a near-unanimous perfect ambassador for the NFL… really, it's breathtaking. I don't get it. How did this happen?
I'm not saying I hate the guy, or that he should be considered the moral equivalent of OJ, but seriously… you gotta admit, the guy has clearly got some premium PR people and has benefitted from the most amazing turnaround in the history of professional athletes, going from public menace to celebrated hero in record time.
I know I've got a few Ravens fans following me here… I mean no offense, and I'm genuinely interested in your take on this… what's the deal? How do you square these two extremes of Ray Lewis the human being?
Sure, we as a nation have always killed people. A lot of people. But no president has ever waged war by killing enemies one by one, targeting them individually for execution, wherever they are. The Obama administration has taken pains to tell us, over and over again, that they are careful, scrupulous of our laws, and determined to avoid the loss of collateral, innocent lives. They're careful because when it comes to waging war on individuals, the distinction between war and murder becomes a fine one. Especially when, on occasion, the individuals we target are Americans and when, in one instance, the collateral damage was an American boy.
Well that didn't take long.

JANESVILLE, WI (WTAQ) - A southern Wisconsin man is due in court Thursday, after he was arrested in the death of a 19-year-old woman who was apparently burned in the man's fire pit.
Authorities said Aprina Paul of Fitchburg answered the man's online ad for sex October 27th -- and she was burned to death two days later at the man's home near Evansville. He's in jail for violating a previous probation, and has not been charged in the new case.
The man is expected to have a bond set during his court hearing Thursday in Janesville.
Rock County Sheriff Robert Spoden said he expects the district attorney's office to file charges by Friday.
The suspect is under suspicion of hiding and mutilating a corpse, possessing marijuana and drug paraphernalia, pandering, and failing to notify the coroner of a death.

One thing that we do well at MIT Sloan is to take expert opinion and put it in terms that non-experts can not only understand, but relate to. My goal in all my teaching is to talk about economics without drawing supply and demand graphs on the blackboard or relying on mathematics. So, in a sense, that is a natural preparation for this role we are now playing, which is somewhere between public educators and advocates for what we regard as sensible policies.Simon H.

Adult Nonfiction SF355.S4 H55 2001
Summary: How to use life's little transitions to find balance and happiness. Every day we undertake dozens of different roles, tasks and experiences. Most of us habitually carry our mindset and emotional state from one of these activities to the next - and all too often this has negative, occasionally disastrous consequences. For years we've been told it's getting the 'big' stuff right that gives us balance and makes us happy: the holidays, the audacious goals, the pay rises. But in our hearts we know it's really the small stuff: a great result at work, our welcome home, an absorbing conversation, a game with the kids. This book is all about getting the small stuff right - not 'sweating' it, but making it much more rewarding, much more often. It's about using the 'Third Space' (that moment of transition between a first activity and the second that follows it), to mentally 'show up' right for whatever comes next. Gaining control of the Third Space will empower you to do this any time and every time. You will consistently be your best for your work, your family, your friends and yourself - and you will find that the key to balance and happiness was always there waiting for you in the Third Space. Includes a foreword by Stephen Lundin, author of Fish.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - There was a different kind of animal and competition at the Knoxville Ice Bears game Saturday night: the wiener dog races.
The hot-dog shaped pooches ran for the gold, covering the distance of the rink.
The winning dog dominated this competition for the third time.
"At first it was just pure luck. I mean we've been running with him but. We tell him squirrel, and he loves to chase squirrels," Suzanne Alley said.
Nearly 90 dogs competed this year.

Zvonareva Into Final, Radwanska Up Next
Published August 06, 2011 12:00
CARLSBAD, CA, USA - Four WTA stars took the courts of the La Costa Resort & Spa on Saturday for the semifinals of the Mercury Insurance Open, and they all battled to the bitter end for berths in the final of the Premier tournament. Vera Zvonareva and Agnieszka Radwanska were able to make the cut.
Watch live tennis from Carlsbad on WTA Live powered by TennisTV!
Radwanska was the first to win, losing the first set then winning 10 games in a row and not really looking back for a 46 60 64 victory over Andrea Petkovic. Radwanska, the No.3 seed, stormed through the second set at love and built a 4-0 lead in the third set, and although the No.2-seeded Petkovic caught up to 4-3, Radwanska was still up a break and held on, closing it out three games later.
"When I lost the first set I just thought I had nothing to lose. So I was more relaxed," Radwanska said. "She was playing well and it was the semifinals, so I was just going to play until the end and fight until the last point. I started playing more aggressively and without mistakes. She was playing incredible in the third set again but I had a couple good shots. It was close in the end."
Feeling ill, Petkovic left the court during the second set. Once she got her intensity back in the third set she made a push, but it was too late. "I'm not that big of a lady normally, but I didn't want to do it in front of the whole crowd. It's just gross so I figured it's better to run off the court," Petkovic said. "I felt much, much better. I lost some intensity after the incident, but I felt so much better.
"I ate something wrong for lunch. I originally thought it was just a lack of energy, so I took a banana and thought it was going to get better, but actually it felt much worse. I needed five, six, seven games afterwards; maybe one game earlier and I could have turned the match around. I'm still disappointed."
Radwanska is now through to her first final since this same tournament a year ago, where she was a runner-up to Svetlana Kuznetsova. It will be her seventh overall WTA final (she has a 4-2 record in her first six WTA finals).
"This is the only tournament I've been two times in the final, so for sure it's one of my best tournaments," the 22-year-old said. "I haven't won a title since 2008. I've been in some quarterfinals, semifinals and finals, but of course it's good to have a title. So for sure I'm going to do everything I can tomorrow to win."
There was a similar pattern in the second semi, as No.1 seed Zvonareva rallied from a set down and held off a late surge from No.5 seed Ana Ivanovic to prevail, 57 64 64. After squandering a 5-3 lead to lose the first set, Zvonareva rebounded to win the second set then went ahead 5-1 in the third; Ivanovic reeled off three games in a row to close to 5-4, but Zvonareva served it out at 15.
"I've been working on a few things and I knew I had to keep trying them," Zvonareva said. "They didn't work in the first set but they slowly started working.
"There's nothing wrong with winning or losing the first or second set. You're still in the match. And while you're still in the match, you have chances to turn it around. When you shake hands at the end, that's when the match is over."
Ivanovic was very gracious afterwards. "She chases a lot of balls down - you have to win the point over and over again. She also came up with some great shots, especially backhands down the line. It was very hard to pick where she was going. To play that close with a Top 3 player is a good place to be."
Zvonareva is now 9-0 in the summer hardcourt season, going 5-0 to win in Baku and 4-0 so far this week. "If you look at the results, it's a pretty good start to the hardcourt season," the 26-year-old said. "I have a lot of tournaments ahead though. We'll see how it goes. So far I think I'm playing pretty well. I'm enjoying my time on the court and off the court, and I'm working hard every day."
Zvonareva is in her 29th WTA final, going 12-16 in her first 28. She is 2-0 in finals this year, winning the Premier title in Doha and the International in Baku.
Zvonareva leads Radwanska in their head-to-head series, 2-0.
"Vera is obviously a top player right now, and she's playing some good tennis," Radwanska said. "Playing against top players, you just have to do 100% and be focused from the beginning. I'll just play my game and take it point by point."

I already posted this on my profile, and a group forum. But as I really want answers to this, I'll post it here too.
Whether you have any experience of therapy or not, please comment. My therapy is ending, and I want to let my therapist know how thankful I am (I know she already knows, but still). I made a card-thingy that says "thank you for" and then some things I am thankful of. Not nearly all of them, but that would take a lot more than a card. I also made a little stuffed creature, a character I've been drawing over the years and she has seen many times in my diaries etc. The stuffed version is not that cute or perfect, but as we've been working on me being less demanding of myself, I thought I'd let it be as it is. Now do these things sound like a good gift to her?
And thanks to anyone who answers.

Not really my choice that it'll end, but oh well. (State won't pay anymore and I don't have the money to pay for it myself, except for everyone now and then, monthly or so. Somehow we're considering this to be "the end" anyway.)
Thanks everyone, for some reason I'm nervous about this and needed reassurance.

Sounds great. I offer therapy as part of my job and I love the personal little gifts I occassionally get. As I work for the UK's NHS we have policies about accepting gifts over a certain value as they could be seen as creating a "conflict of interest" but most of the time it is flowers, plants, art work done by the individual, ornaments for the therapy room etc. Often it's a card or just a heartfelt thank you. For me, knowing i did a good job and helped someone is enough, but tokens of their appreciation are really valued. The thing I like most is when I bump into a client years later in town and they remember me and say how they are doing, even if they have relapsed it's still nice to know they are getting by.

I totally think those are great gifts. Congrats on ending therapy! I know I was really proud of myself when I finished working through many of my issues.
I was in therapy for three years and at the end, I thank her with a card and a small teacup that I thought she'd like from a vintage store.

About the Department
Philosophy is a mode of engaging thoughtfully and critically with the grounding ideas and assumptions of human practices. Traditionally, philosophical thinking includes reflection on the relationship between different forms of knowledge (scientific, ethical, political, historical, cultural and aesthetic) and the material world, as well as reflection on the intertwining social, historical and geographical forms of power and human community.
Southwestern's Philosophy courses develop a wide range of intellectual abilities, and offer numerous opportunities for students to develop their own modes of thoughtful, critical engagement with different domains of knowledge and practice. Our emphasis is on the careful examination and discussion of primary philosophy texts and their ideas.
Our curriculum focuses on cultivating philosophy as a self-reflective practice, and we emphasize the history of Western philosophy as vitally important to contemporary philosophy. Students explore contemporary thinking from a foundation of critical inquiry into its past, and into the genealogies of questions that have shaped the conversation to this point.
Philosophy majors will find their immersion in critical thinking and analysis prepares them well for a range of fields beyond the classroom. Beyond the opportunity to pursue graduate studies in a number of fields, philosophy majors are well prepared to enter the range of career options available to liberal arts college graduates.

[my brother's law firm and his beautiful conference room]
my oldest brother is an attorney (a really good one- if you are in need and live in utah county, his office is on freedom blvd and is so beautiful). after passing the bar years ago, he took the risk of opening his own firm because he chose the stress being both a lawyer and a small business owner over the stress of having a boss. he likes to schedule his own life.
when trying to figure out what to do with all this free time i have now, i really understood his choice, however stressful. i needed to do something i felt was important, that used my talents, without giving up my freedom to schedule my own life or the ability to be a mother first.
decision process: 1. i knew i had to get out of the freaking house, where i am alone more often than not. being a wellness counselor at good earth wasn't cutting it- a constantly changing schedule with almost no notice and consisitently too many hours= no. 2. despite my passion for my certified teaching subjects: health and psychology, i won't sign any high school contract because of the lack of flexibility. i think i'd need mental health days more often than they would prefer i called for subs. 3. i don't feel like my handmade work is it for me, especially because it doesn't solve the problem of getting out of the freaking house. 4. there came strong feelings in my heart to return to school for further education in the mental health field. (and that settled it).
we are similar, my brother and i: it's freedom over security for us. i would rather take the stress of running a therapy practice on my terms than have someone else dictate my freedom, or rather, lack of. we have a love of learning and constant reading but dislike of formal learning institutions. we like a comfy space to work in- his office is equipped with an upstairs apartment where he relaxes to movies and classic rock records while writing depositions, rather than a life sucking crap space someone else designed. we both fight through anxiety and panic, but don't give into it out of sheer will to live the life we want regardless of our weaknesses. because i know he fights many of the same demons i do, and knows how to relax and work the way i also need to, i trust his advice.
he has been the most supportive of me going back to school. i was so scared. it's been a long time, and i am NOT good at doing what, or being where, i'm told to. i texted him, "i'm scared, i think i might actually have to study now." he texted back "ya, law school was a wake up call for me too. no worries." which i took to mean, i know you're smart enough and you'll get it done, just step it up a little. something i needed to hear so bad.
he also mentioned that in a few years after passing my own licensure exams i might as well get the doctorate. confidence in me! how i needed to hear that! i am maria getting off the bus to ring the door bell of the von trapp family. my brother was the reverend mother saying this isn't the life you planned, god has shut a door for awhile, but somewhere he's opened a window. climb every mountain! his support, (and grant's), has meant so much.
i just finished my first morning of msw classes. want to know how it went? like riding a bike. a big, pain in the arse bike. but, i just picked up cate from school after my classes were done and my little girl has no idea that anything is different in our world. so, all is well. i know it will be hard, and i know i will do just fine. thanks, brett.

Ask a Dev: Should Android Developers Use Density-Independent Pixels?
Android devices have "wildly varied pixel-per square inch resolutions," according to Android engineer Sagar Seth. Their screen sizes can be very different, which means a developer could design an app that looks great on one screen -- but distorted on another. To fix that problem, developers can use density-independent pixels to construct their apps; this way, the end product will look consistent across various screen sizes.

Woodward backs Warburton for Lions captaincy
ESPN Staff
March 20, 2013

Former England and British & Irish Lions coach Sir Clive Woodward has backed Wales' Sam Warburton to lead the elite tourists to Australia later this year.
Warburton recently lost the Wales captaincy but a strong run of form since returning from injury appears to have bolstered his chances of being named the Lions' skipper next month when coach Warren Gatland names his squad for the trip Down Under. But Warburton faces stiff competition with England captain Chris Robshaw and Ireland centre Brian O'Driscoll among those vying for the honour while former England captain Martin Johnson recently tipped Wales lock Alun Wyn Jones as a possible skipper.
But Woodward is in no doubt that Warburton is the leading candidate. "He would be favourite for me," he told Sky Sports News. "The Lions captain has to be an automatic choice - you can't have a captain who any players question should be in the team. I think Warburton is back to his best."
However, Gatland is more concerned about getting the right mix of players in his squad than naming the man who will lead them. "There is a huge amount made of the captaincy," said Gatland. "Everyone has their opinion but we have to make the right decision. We won't be rushed into it, we will take our time. We've six/seven weeks before we name the squad. Whoever we will select I am sure they will do a great job. We get the squad first and then decide after that."
Gatland stressed that any potential captain will need to be sure of his place in the Test side but can rest assured that he will have the support of a largely experienced squad. He said: "I think it is crucial we get the captaincy right. We just want to make sure we take our time and not commit ourselves to anyone at the moment.
"The number one thing is looking for someone who is going to be on the starting 15 and someone who carries themselves well on and off the field, is a good professional and has the respect of everyone. Whoever that person is we are confident there will be enough leadership qualities in the squad that that person is going to get huge support."

No pickup in alleysThe only exception to curbside debris pickup is in alleys. Many alleys are too narrow for the heavy collection equipment. Residents who have large limbs should pull them to the nearest right-of-way.
If debris is small (less than three inches in diameter), residents may cut the branches into three-foot pieces, bundle them and leave them in the alley to be picked up as yard waste.
Collection dumpsters available to neighborhood groups, homeowners associationsOrganizations, neighborhood groups or associations may apply to have a storm debris dumpster delivered and picked up from a neighborhood. Dumpsters are available on a first come, first served basis. Dumpsters will be left for up to three days. Groups may apply online.
Utilize your garbage hauler's yard waste disposalThe mayor encouraged residents to review their garbage service's guidelines on yard waste disposal. Most require limbs to be cut into lengths of about three feet, and for smaller branches to be bundled for collection.
"Many garbage services offer yard waste removal – and it may be easier for residents to simply utilize that disposal option," Abramson said.
Don't burn storm debrisFire officials remind citizens: Do not burn storm debris. It creates fire hazards and requires unnecessary fire runs when firefighters are needed elsewhere.

Cluttered Gypsy
Ask me anything Add to my clutter...
.Kailey Nicole.
- the california gypsy -
Welcome to my 3 ring circus. A museum of my mind if you will...
i am a collector...of photographs, antique keys, animal bones, agates, apothocary jars, teapots, sea glass, shells, specimen jars, sugar skulls, voodoo dolls, antique silverware, sacred hearts, dried flowers...anything that catches my eye or tickles my pickle so to speak.
My perfect day would consist of a picnic under an oak tree and if I could photograph one thing for the rest of my life it would be mushrooms. I love drinking tea[& or hot chocolate] on cold gloomy days and autumn is my favorite time of year. Seaglass and sugar skulls are worth their weight in gold to me and I would take patina and rust over something shiny any day of the week. My dream is to live in an old victorian house on a small piece of land outside the city and for work I would love to open up my own little shop to sell my odds and ends. When I die I want to be buried under an oak tree so then what is left of me can live on for years through the tree. This is just a spec of what is me.
the images that you will find here i collect from all over. most of them i find while browsing on http://weheartit.com or http://vi.sualize.us/ and while each one strikes a cord within me i must say that they are not my own and i take no credit for them. despite the occasional photo of myself the rest are posted mearly for inspiration and to help tell the story of who i am and what makes me...well..me.

Innocuous is not a word that can be used for today's popular culture. Magnanimous is not a term which can rest easily upon the current crop of politicians. 'Christianity' is not a reality that can merge with the current ideologies running our world.
For everything that Jesus stands for, that which His disciples are supposed to stand (firm) for, seems to be the antithesis of what makes our world spin today.
We no longer live in a world where we can follow Jesus, while simultaneously dancing with the world. Now, to do so, would be to dance with the devil.
"The queen of Sheba, having heard of Solomon's fame, came to test him with subtle questions." 1 Kings 10:1-10
There was a time--a time when objective truth was recognized--that the Catholic Church was, in the Truth of Christianity, respected as a formidable, permanent, and integral entity by those who did not believe in, or did not like, the apostles and disciples of Christ. There was a time when opponents relented in the presence of the power of Truth.
And this was good, since, in respect, Christ's Mercy was more evident.
But nowadays, the enemies of the Church, the enemies of faith in Jesus Christ, no longer shudder, since Truth has vanished from society as an immovable force. Now, desire and opinion (carnal passion and popular trendiness) are the measuring stick for all ideas and ideals.
Consequently, promiscuous and immoral popular fads, tyrannical and anti-Christian politicians, and inhumane and enslaving ideologies, test the Church's resolve.
They ask: Will the disciples still bear the Cross? Or will they cower to our pressure and follow us?
"The mouth of the just man tells of wisdom and his tongue utters what is right. The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps do not falter." Psalm 37:5-6, 30-31, 39-40
Why is America faltering? Because there is a lack of Christian martyrs!
Turn on the television. At any moment during the day, or night, there will be less than 5 (the amount of fingers on one hand) overt, or even semi-covert, Christian messages amongst hundreds of television channels. Yes, the internet and the radio are inundated with various forms of Christianity. But that is because they are yet to be fully regulated by the powers that be.
Visit many a Church in America and see empty pews on Sunday. Visit many a sports stadium, many a city street, many a shopping mall, many a town park, and you might think that Christian symbolism was outlawed.
Read the newspapers, or the popular tabloids. Where is the Pope, where are the bishops, where is the Christian saint? Surely, you will find many a misquote of Pope Francis. Definitely, if accused (justly, or unjustly) you will hear of a pedophile priest. What you will not find, however, are common articles sharing Christianity--common stories espousing practiced Christian holiness. And, never, will you find front page news encouraging Christian morality!
But, be honest, who are the people who shape our society? Popular diva's, popular idols, anti-American politicians, abortionists, euthanasia proponents, militant homosexuals, socialists, pornographers, radical Islamists, racial warfare practitioners, anarchists, morons, and weasels.
And this is so because disciples of Christ have bought wholeheartedly into the PC nonsense; subsequently, there is a vacuum of authentic Christian witness!
"But what comes out of the man, that is what defiles him. From within the man, from his heart, come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly. All these evils come from within and they defile." Mark 7:14-23
The devil distracts with scandalous intricacies, party lines, and political correctness. All too many American Christian's get caught up in the demonic parlor trick of appearances. The devil claims a war on women, and prostitutes American women with abortion, contraception, and dignity destroying promiscuity. The devil claims a war on freedom, and destroys the American family by introducing gay 'marriage.' Furthermore, the devil parades immigrants rights, and immigrants who truly desire to become American, legally, are robbed by fellow emigrants, and phony politicians, who steal a privilege, demanding citizenship through crime.
And all the while, there is not a Christian martyr to be found...

Carl Perkins, on the other hand, became a national star.

Lump in the testicle
A testicle lump that does not hurt may be a sign of cancer. Most cases of testicular cancer occur in men ages 15 - 40, although it can also occur at older or younger ages.
Common Causes
Possible causes of a painful testicle include:
- A cyst-like lump in the scrotum that contains fluid and dead sperm cells (spermatocele)
- Epididymitis
- Infection of the scrotal sac
- Injury or trauma
- Mumps
- Orchitis (testicular infection)
- Testicular torsion
- Testicular cancer
- Varicocele
Possible causes if the testicle is not painful:
Call your health care provider if
Call your health care provider right away if you notice any unexplained lumps or any other changes in your testicles.
What to expect at your health care provider's office
Your health care provider will perform a physical examination, which may include inspecting and feeling (palpating) the testicles and scrotum. The health care provider may ask questions about the lump, such as:
- When did you notice the lump?
- Have you had any previous lumps?
- Do you have any pain?
- Does the lump change in size?
- Is only one testicle involved?
- Exactly where on the testicle is the lump?
- Have you had any recent injuries or infections?
- What other symptoms do you have?
- Is there scrotal swelling?
- Do you have abdominal pain?
- Do you have any lumps or swelling anywhere else?
- Have you ever had surgery on your testicles or in the area?
- Were you born with both testicles in the scrotum?
Tests and treatments depend on the results of the physical examination.
Starting in puberty, men at risk for testicular cancer should examine their testicles on a regular basis. This includes men with:
- A family history of testicular cancer
- A past tumor of the testicle
- An undescended testicle, even if the testicle on the other side has descended
These men should perform a testicular self-exam each month, so that a testicular lump can be found early. A lump on the testicle may be the first sign of testicular cancer.
