If you read Ecclesiastes carefully, Solomon is not saying that knowledge and learning are bad; he's saying they're incomplete.
Companion series to the spring 2015 book club featuring "The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate" by John Walton.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
From 2012: Many secular and many evangelical voices agree on one 'truism'—that if you are an orthodox Christian with a high view of the authority of the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution in any form at all. New Atheist authors such as Richard Dawkins and creationist writers such as Ken Ham seem to have arrived at consensus on this.
The words we use to talk about the Bible and science often predispose us towards unnecessary conflicts.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
"Such a paradigm will enable joyful Christ-followers to be wholly engaged in being the presence of hope in our glorious—yet broken—world."
It's eminently easy "in God's name" to demand things of people as a pre-requirement for acceptance by God—things which Christ himself never demanded.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.

Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup
I have a confession. I love canned tomato soup. I make it with milk so it is nice and creamy. It really hits the spot for me. I ran across this recipe on the internet and I knew I had to give it a try since it uses canned tomato soup as the base.
This is not your ordinary canned tomato soup. It is doctored up with chicken broth, half and half, cheese and plenty of spices. Best of all, it has cheese tortellini mixed in. It was absolutely delicious! It only took about 15 minutes to make. Just boil the tortellini while you get the soup going. Stir in the pasta and it is done! I served the soup with a piece of garlic toast. I highly suggest dipping the garlic toast in the soup- YUM!
Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup
adapted from Taste of Home
serves 6-8
(Printable Recipe)
1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated whole wheat cheese tortellini
2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) tomato soup
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups half-and-half cream
1 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a Dutch oven, combine the soup, broth, half and half and seasonings. Heat over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add tortellini to soup. Stir in cheese.
Sprinkle each serving with additional cheese if desired.

Madison grew up on canned soup and prefers it to our homemade versions with no doctoring allowed.ReplyDelete
That's a great version with the healthier options.ReplyDelete
Happy Thanksgiving,
Catch up with you next week.
This soup looks amazing!ReplyDelete
I made this soup tonight and we loved it. I told my picky 17 year old daughter that it was Creamy Tortellini Soup she loved it and had seconds. She "hates" tomato soup. Well little does she know...ReplyDelete
They said it is a make again soup. Soon.
Thank you!
CrazyBuzy - your daughter sounds like me! What she doesn't know won't hurt her :)ReplyDelete
What an amazing addition to my comfort food list. Can't wait to try this out. I, like you, LOVE some good creamy tomato soup...with a grilled cheese of course LOL. (mouth is watering now)ReplyDelete
I made Reeni's version which was way more complex but fabulous. I have to pin this one to try because it is way easier and looks delicious!!ReplyDelete
This sounds wonderful! I can't wait to try it. Curious though, could you substitute milk for the half and half?ReplyDelete
Lisa - you can sub milk for the half and half. It might not be as creamy, but it will still be great!ReplyDelete
I made this tonight, and 2 of my kids who NEVER eat soup (and they are 6 and 13)ate it and LOVED it!!! I only 1-1/2 cups of half and half, so for the last 1/2 cup I used heavy cream!ReplyDelete
I tried a recipe very similar to this earlier in the week. (Adapted from the same original recipe by Taste of Home). It had me using, along with everything in your recipe, 1 1/2 cups milk and 1/2 cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes or two tablespoons sun-dried tomato paste. It wasn't as creamy as I was expecting, so maybe it was because the milk was added. And the tomato paste was very thick; never thinned out. While I was stirring the soup in my pot, I just took out the "chunks" that I found and threw them in the trash. Next time, I'll think I'll try your version. I must say though, this soup is verrrry delicious.ReplyDelete
I love eating toasted bread along with my favorite soup. I am currently looking for new soup recipe because I don't like mushroom soup anymore. I'm glad I found this recipe.ReplyDelete
-Sara Upton
This was EXCELLENT. Both my 8 year olds gobbled it up and I had to stop myself from getting a second bowl. I added a third can of soup and a bit more broth to stretch it out and we have plenty for leftovers. This is going into the rotation. Thanks for posting!ReplyDelete
Jennifer - so glad it was a hit!ReplyDelete
I just made this delicious soup for my husband and me on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Thank you for this quick and easy recipe - I had all the ingredients on hand and it came together in a few minutes. I just wanted to let you know that I added almost 1/4 a cup of pesto (eliminated the dried basil) and a splash of lemon juice and a dash of cayenne to mask the canned soup taste, and honestly, you'd have thought I'd slaved over a hot stove all day! So yummy! Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
SO glad you liked it. I love your adjustments.Delete
This looks GREAT and like something my daughter and I would both love! Do you think you can freeze any leftovers with the fact there's half-and-half in it? Or would that get weird?ReplyDelete
Looks soo yummy. Perfect meal for this cold span we're having!!ReplyDelete
Made this for lunch today on a cold snowy day. I loved it! This may be a silly question, but what do you think I could add to make it more "tomato-y"? I loved the creaminess but wanted just a little more tomato. Delicious - thanks for sharing!ReplyDeleteReplies
You could substitute some tomato juice for the chicken broth, add a little tomato paste, or add some petite diced tomatoes. Glad you liked it!Delete
I made this for the second time tonight. The first time around, we found it too rich. Tonight I used just one cup of half and half and then 3 cups of vegetable broth. It worked perfectly and we enjoyed it even more.ReplyDelete
Thanks for giving us such a quick, easy, and comforting recipe. It's great!

A plasma speaker is a device that generates an high voltage electrical arc that makes purple light and music! Without any speakers or any moving parts! Sounds too good to be true? Well, you're wrong, the high voltage arc really does 'sing' by vibrating in the air. (Of course, you will need to give the device musical audio for it to work.) And just leave this instructable if you still don't believe me...
And this is something I always wanted to build - I have been dreaming to build one for about 6 months, until Kiteman has greatly boosted my encouragement to build one. (Thanks Kiteman!)
The video of my plasma speaker - early prototype.
Step 1: The dangers you must know...
Health Hazard
Unlike the ordinary speakers, the plasma speaker are dangerous high voltage device, do NOT attempt to build this device unless you know what you are doing... And do NOT even attempt to build one if you have heart problems or weak heart or wearing a pacemaker, because one little shock from this thing can put you out...
I am not responsible for any injuries or deaths caused by this device.
Why should you know all of this? it is because you can ONLY live once, and no more...
If you don't think that you shouldn't build one, just watch movies of it working instead, much better than risking your life to build and operate one.
If you think you are okay to build one without killing your self, then move on to the next step.
Hazard to Electronics
Since the plasma speaker generates high voltages, there is a chance there will be high voltage spikes on the low voltage side of the device, which can get onto the audio line and damage (or destroy) the player. They are some safety features to prevent the spikes damaging the player, but they can fail... So I am not responsible if your player gets damaged, and use cheap players like CD players, if you're rich, you can use expensive players if you want. :-)
Cool! but what's the use of the diode in parallel with the mosfet?
I've built it but I was wondering if you could measure how much current it draws since the power supply that I was using has now passed away ;( RIP Power supply
This seems little bit risky type of thing.
will a center tap 12-0-12 flyback work?
can i convert a tattoo gun into one of these?
So fantastic! But I am a little confused that, the TL494 has 16 pins, where the second and tenth pins go??? Thanks!
In the schematic it says 47nF 2kV which you corrected to be 47uF 250V, but in the parts list it says 47nF 250V, so is it 47uF or 47nF? Thanks
I used 47nF 2kV.
Is there anybody still online?
I like the design and may attempt something similar sometime, however I did notice one thing in the schematic that would perhaps explain why the mosfet was getting so hot. there is no gate to ground resistor, meaning that the gate goes from 12v to 12v and high impedence when it should be going from high to low. the tl494 has an essentially open emitter output to the mosfet, otherwise I like the idea of using dead time control as modulation, very cool.
What's your solution to the heat problem? Just putting a resistor from gate to ground?
Also, read the datasheet for the tl494, it will show that the gate driving pin is an "open source connected transistor" (google it if you want to) and my previous comments will make sense.
There is probable a pull down resistor in the tl494 or the mosfet gate, thus the circuit works in the first place, however the mosfet is probably switching slowly or partially, due to the high driving impedance on a low impedance gate. If the gate to ground resistor doesn't work, try heat sinking the mosfet along with it. I reccommend a resistor value of around 100-1000 ohms, try 1000 first.
the 22k potentiometer controls the duty cycle or the power supplied to the flyback
I used my plasmaspeaker for over a year now but I have a problem.
I always used a laptop power supply (90 watt) for the flyback transformer and last week I bought a heavyduty power supply (50 volt/16 amps, 800VA) and now I killed my MOSFET (IRF640). My question is; wich MOSFET can I use for pulling a few hundred watts without killing it. The max the IRF640 took was 26 volts and about 3.80 amps (at 30 volt and 4 amps it blew up). I had a 2SK1082 MOSFET laying arround but that doesnt work very well. I got a very little arc from that one.
Please help me, I really need a MOSFET that can handle much more current/voltage and still give a nice big fat arc from the flyback.
irf3205 it has 110 amps of current handling and 55 volts
there made for car batteries
I got 2 irfb20n50k's now. 500V 20A and I guess they can handle 280 watt at 25 degrees celcius. Atleast that is what I read in the datasheet. :) This MOSFET works great at 35V and 3.4A but I don't want to blow it up, haha. Got a 50V 16A (800VA) toroidal transformer attached to it with a variac and a 100V 22000uF capacitor.
This MOSFET don't get that hot with a CPU cooler attached to it and I got a pretty long and loud arc. But I guess the MOSFET can handle even more! :)
Here is a movie of my power supply and plasma speaker (only on 25V) :p
When ever I bother myself to make another of these I think I'm gonna add a 148watt Peltier cooler. Might help those poor MOSFETS from dying? =)
Here is just another video of my plasma speaker at 34 volt this time.
The arc is now longer and louder! :)
I will probably crank the voltage up some more in the near future, but I really hope I don't pop the MOSFET. :P
And maybe I will build a volt and amp meter in it aswell. Looks alot better then a separate volt and amp meter if u ask me! :)
I bought this stuff a week ago so that's why it lays all over the floor. :p
About dying of MOSFETS, I guess if u stay in the voltage, amps and watt range of what they can handle, u will be fine and keep them cool as possible. :)
Thats helpful
When i powered it on, it worked at an extremely high frequency, but even worse, it blew out my power supply! Now, this was an older power supply i scavanged from a satellite dish box or something (It had +5 +12 +22 and +30 which was much better than my ATX, considering it only goes up to +12 volts...) This being the first time trying it out, i thought maybe it was a bad power supply that was already bad, i just finished it off. I was wrong. I pulled out my 12 volt SLA battery, to use that instead. Not sure if it was the power supply's fault last time, i decided to only turn it on for a few seconds. The cable leading to the board got really hot, the battery got warm (Uh oh...) and the mosftet got hot to the touch; Only in a matter of seconds! Thankfully, the battery is still ok at the time of writing, but what would be the cause of such an issue? I am thinking it may be shorting somewhere, but looking with my multimeter i dont seem to find any errors. Only the mosfet and the power cables get extremely warm as far as i know. Any ideas? Great 'able BTW, was very easy to follow and understand.
Any idea why this is happening?!
Thanx in advice.
please help me, 'cause i've built all the rest right and it doesn't work.
PS is there any difference in using a "non solid core copper wire" for the windings?

Witherspoon was born John Weatherspoon in Detroit, Michigan. John Witherspoon was born to the last name Weatherspoon but later changed it to Witherspoon. He also goes by the nicknames of Johnny Witherspoon and "mexico" John Witherspoon. John was one of 11 children. One of his older siblings, William Weatherspoon, went on to become a songwriter in Detroit for Motown. He is best known for his work John Witherspoon is also related to Lamont Dozier who was a songwriter and record producer well known for hits coming from Martha & the Vandellas, The Supremes, The Four Tops, and The Isley Brothers. John Witherspoon and his brother William grew up enjoying music. The young John continued his passion for music and learned how to play the trumpet and French Horn. Also during his childhood, Witherspoon did occasional work as a model. During the 1960s and 1970s, Witherspoon began to take a liking towards comedy. During that time he began his stand up comedy career. While doing stand up comedy he made many friends in the business. This included Tim Reid (while he was working on WKRP in Cincinnati and The Richard Pryor Show), Robin Williams (also on The Richard Pryor Show), Jay Leno, and David Letterman. David Letterman and John Witherspoon became such good friends that Witherspoon asked Letterman to be the Godfather to both his children, John David and Alexander. Letterman would accept the privilege. Witherspoon's stand up comedy career led to his comedian film career. His comical character was seen in his movies, TV shows, and now once again in his comedy tour. In 1988, he married Angela Robinson. They have two children, John David and Alexander.

Gallery: BITUBLOCK: Building blocks made from compressed rubbish!
If we told you there was a sustainable substitute for concrete you'd probably say rubbish!… and you would be right. The dream of a resource-saving, emissions-reducing replacement for concrete is becoming a reality in the form of BituBlock – made from post-consumer waste. Dr. John Forth of the University of Leeds is behind the revolutionary process that turns rubbish into a strong, less-energy intensive structural material that is poised to make concrete obsolete.
BituBlock is a high-performance product that is about six times stronger than traditional concrete block. It's made by mixing waste products like recycled glass, metal slag, sewage sludge and incinerator ash with a sticky binder called bitumen, also used in road paving. The mixture is compacted in a mold and heat-cured, which oxidizes and hardens the bitumen.
While high recycled content is a vital part of sustainable construction, BituBlock's landfill diverted ingredients are just part of what makes it so groundbreaking. Concrete is the most widely-used construction material with over ten billion tons produced annually. About 7% of global CO2 emissions come from concrete production. The primary source of CO2 emissions generated by concrete manufacturing is Portland cement, responsible for 74% to 81% of total CO2 emissions. In BituBlock, the bitumen binder replaces the Portland cement.
Structurally superior, BituBlock is gaining commercial interest and the project team, which also includes Dr. Salah Zoorob from the University of Nottingham, expects BituBlock to be market ready in just 3-5 years. Plans are also underway to develop 'Vegeblock' using waste vegetable oil.

Its alright that it consumes recycled wate. Is it fire resistant than concrete?
February 12, 2008 at 4:45 pm
But how are we going to recycle a bitublock eventually?? Are bitublock buildings going to stay forever? Sounds like it would be impossible to recycle. What do we do with it then? Have huge stockpiles of discarded bitublocks like discarded tires?
I think as appealing as it sounds to recycle rubbish there are some issues with the bitublock's afterlife. Are we creating something even more toxic?
Any new material that we invent has to take its own lifespan into consideration and question how we will deal with it once we're finished with it. Will it biodegrade? Or could it ever be transformed again? Probably not.
December 2, 2007 at 6:39 am
We all know that all road paving made using cement concrete for example as the core ingredient in any shape or form, has no future due to the massive CO2 emissions that is emitted in the process of manufacturing cement, cement production accounts to around 7% of the total global CO2 emissions. That's why this is so appealing especially if it can be used as a wider substitute as a cement building construction material but for it to withstand the required stresses it is not allowed to yield to heat as what Colin is referring to.
December 2, 2007 at 6:28 am
You cant just press together any old scrap material and expect it to perform well in a high loading and wearing asphalt road construction.
November 29, 2007 at 5:30 am
Bitumen road surfacing is normally referred to as flexible surfacing beccause it will move particularly when the bitumen gets hot in the sun. How will this cope with this situation?
November 27, 2007 at 5:19 am
My understanding is that there are incredible high performance issues and hurdles that especially road grade bitumen has to endure to be a vaiable road construction material for paving asphalt roads. And what I know is that Shell (Hell) bitumen has always been regarded as the benchmark (best) bitumen on the market up untill some research and development company from Australia came up with the geo320 bitumen from renewable resources substitute as sighted by Jake. Our planet needs all the help we can now throw at it to fight climate change so all I can say is "here, here" for all the renewable innovators out there.
November 20, 2007 at 6:39 pm
How can you recycle this? Mixing different types of materials invariably leads to the problem of how to seperate them once you don't need your product anymore. I'm an architecture student, and we're cautioned against the use of even conventional dry-wall with additional ingredients such as glass or synthetic fibres.
November 17, 2007 at 8:43 am
I must admit, as appealing as it sounds I can see problems. Doesn't bitumen/asphalt break down (I know it does under UV, hence the need to resurface flat roofs coated in asphalt every 30 years or so). So surely there is some level of breakdown? As for the bitumen, I'm assuming as a binder it only makes up a small amount of the volume, but it's there…
Either way, if it can be proven to a) be safe and b) last for at least 100 years, it's worth looking at. There's some big moves in the world of concrete, like eco-cement, and the sooner the normal full-fat stuff has gone the better…

With as much concern that has been held for off-gassing, how was this not mentioned? What type of impact would this material have on the indoor air quality of a home? I understand that one could stucco or cover it with something similar…Skeptical.
November 16, 2007 at 4:24 am
If it can't be poured on-site, it'll never replace concrete entirely. It's good that people are trying to figure this all out, though.
November 15, 2007 at 3:45 pm
The University of Leeds article linked to claims 100% recycled materials, but I didn't think it was possible to recycle bitumen once used. I DID find this quote from the same Wiki article Carl cited: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitumen
"Bitumen can now be made from non-petroleum based renewable resources such as sugar, molasses and rice, corn and potato starches. Bitumen can also be made from waste material by fractional distillation of used motor oils, which is sometimes disposed by burning or dumping into land fills" and a link to EcoPave at http://www.ecopave.com.au/
So I guess that clarification is needed in this case – I couldn't find any more information on the actual material used in the prototypes.
November 15, 2007 at 2:25 pm
Word Carl. Here in Colorado our gasoline comes from obscene open bitumen pit mines in Canada that are ravaging the natural landscape. There was a recent New Yorker article all about it that is worth a read. So not only are these blocks a toxic mishmash of hydrocarbons, but getting at it is a horrific, destructive process perpetuated by a conscienceless oil industry. How is this sustainable? I am beginning to wonder if the bloggers here are doing their homework.
November 15, 2007 at 2:05 pm
SWEET! And what's key is that it uses a mold, which will allow all kinds of shapes and sizes, like gently rounded blocks for towers and such. molding in holes for use as utility conduits. Could be exciting, now I just need to make it big so that I can be one of the first Americans to rock this stuff.
November 15, 2007 at 1:59 pm
I'm not sure this really counts as either sustainable or green. Bitumen is another name for asphalt. The primary source for asphalt is the really thick remnants of crude oil left after the thinner elements are extracted to make gasoline. As we all know, it's a resource in steady decline. It can be fairly toxic, too, as it can contain high quantities of mercury and other toxic elements. You can look it up in wikipedia easily enough. I'm not sure it's something I'd want in the walls of my home.

Keep living in the republican and conservative bubble while the rest of the country continue on the road to recovery.
Consumer confidence rose to a five-year high in October, another report today showed, suggesting that gains in spending can be sustained as the real-estate revival bolsters household finances.
The unemployment rate dropped to a three-year low of 7.8 percent in September from 8.1 percent in August. Payrolls rose 114,000 after climbing 142,000. Jobs data for October are due from the Labor Department on Nov. 2, four days before the election.
Retail sales in September and August had the best back-to- back showing since late 2010 as shoppers snapped up goods from cars to Apple Inc.s iPhones. Target Corp. (TGT), the second-biggest U.S. discounter, was among chains topping analysts estimates for same-store sales last month.

thanks CK very nice work as always.
thanks CK very nice work as always.
It looks like a predetermined position pick, as you and I both suggested, rather than BPA. I would have said Curtis Lofton, Brandon Flowers, and Devin Thomas (although he hasn't done much yet) were better prospects from a talent standpoint....
Great article CK, as always. Thanks
No wonder they were said to be celebrating when GB went Brohm...
Pride goes before destruction and haughtiness before a fall. Proverbs 16:18
Another very good write up CK.
I cannot disagree that "a" game ball should go to Andre Goodman, I think the job that the front seven did in making the Broncos one-dimensional should not be overlooked. With Ferguson holding down the middle, Landford not giving up any ground and Roth sealing the edge, they didn't give Denver any lanes to run through and forced them to rely on the pass more than they probably wanted to.
Thanks also for the write up on Sintim. I remember talking about him before the season and how I think he would be a good fit for Miami's 3-4 defense. At times this season, Clit has been overly aggressive in trying to get to the QB but does have 10 sacks as a result of it. Has started 46 consecutive games at UVA.
EXTREME Makeover! You BUILD the foundation FIRST! BPA might be the proper response for a team with an abundance of talent, but makes NO sense when there is no foundation or solid lines.
They are called NEEDS! Parcells always rebuilds the lines first. Being a defense guy it's usually the defense. Fortunately BP doesn't hire "yes" men and is very open to a difference in opinion and the Oline guy, Sparano, got his man.After Miami sent David Lee to attend Ryan's pro day workout, why did they balk at the selection of Henne at #32 on draft day, and instead select Merling if they were so intrigued by Henne? Surely they didn't think he would be there at #57? Were they going to select Lanford at #57 if Merling hadn't fell to #32?
It seems like many talented players were left off our draft board...it's the way Parcells approaches the draft...it seems like he doesn't select BPA, but rather has predetermined "positions" at certain slots in the draft.
Linebacker?The Parcells / Groh connection should always be a factor for those of us trying to determine which player the braintrust might be looking at in the 1st round....and Sintim fits the "Bill".....and fills a need.
"I "like," linebackers. I "collect," 'em.So when Sintim was told that Groh ranks him among the most complete linebackers he has coached at U.Va., Sintim knew it was praise not to be taken lightly.
You can't have too many good ones."BP
Shallow commentary on the J ALLEN interference. J ALLEN had MARSHALL covered very well: there was virtually no separation. MARSHALL gave him a slight push-off. It broke ALLEN's stride, and when that happens at this level, the CB's a dead duck. All of a sudden, ALLEN's 2 yards back and trying to reaccelerate.
It was a well-done push-off, incidentally: a real veteran move. BUT HE GOT CAUGHT.
And THAT is why MARSHALL got flagged. We've all seen a lot worse go unflagged. Why? Because the contact didn't redirect, impede, or place the CB at a distinct disadvantage. That's the criteria, and it's not too difficult to apply, or to understand why a play was/wasn't flagged. If you push off and break the CB's stride, it's easy: so too, when you hold his arm/arms down till the last instant. But the contact which yields nothing, or both players jockeying for position, or the oft-seen getting the feet tangled up, usually go unflagged. Pros know the difference. Crybabies like SHANNAHAN know better too.

Miss you, our king! Figure skating is hollow without you
Plushy's reaction, regarding comments of the russian commentator, who has "doubts" that Evgeni: "at all, had surgery and it was all his PR"
RT @EvgeniPlushenko:
Here's a video which sent to me: http://youtube.com/watch?v=sapPTvStTeU
Well, what can I say about it... I'm especially bitter, aware of the fact that Andrey Zhurankov @AZhurankov, pretending to the title of a sports journalist, which in itself should mean a certain level of professionalism, could understand all the mendacity which he told on Russian channel EUROSPORT 2 about me as a athlete and person, that is, he deliberately insulted my honor, dignity and reputation.
Sport - it's my life. Sporting achievements in the name of the glory of Russia - this is my religion. For me, it's not just words, it is the essence of all that I did and do in the sport. Violating the code of ethics of the journalist, Zhurankov slandered and insulted not only me, than also my entire team, including a genius coach Alexei Mishin, wonderful assistants, my fans in Russia and around the world.
Fact is so disgusting and transcends, that I'm not going to leave it just like that. In the end, there is a law, there is a court, in which I will defend my dignity of athlete and person.

Yesterday I had to scold him because last night he didn't take painkillers saying that the pain was not that strong enough.
(to Plushenko) You don't have to feel scared because I had already cut you. I am not planning to do it again.
(about Plu getting up from the bed) Yes, you may get up but you have to do it right way. What you did this morning wasn't right at all.
(about the medicine that Pu is not enjoying) I am sure it's not the worst liquid that you have ever drunk in your life.
I shall put the banner above your bed "Take the medicine on time!" If you don't feel pain, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't take pills.
(about the X-ray and the operation) Here you can see the artificial disc and four screws that are supporting it. If the screw moves closer to the center, the person will be paralyzed. If it goes deeper, it will end up in the out that might cause the internal bleeding and death.
Some people-bastards are writing that I internionally went to the cilnic just in order to cut my back while the operation on the disc itself has never happened.
(about his second son's birth day) I didn't go to the birth of my son, I didn't want to. I was present at my first son's birth. This time I didn't want to. I was ready to be nearby but not in the birth chamber. When I saw my son first, he was lying on Yana's breast, he was so tiny and cute.
(about his first son custody) I didn't want to lose my first son. I didn't want to see him only when I am "allowed to". That's not right.
(about Yana) Yana is cool! She is my best friend. I am very proud of my wife and I am grateful to God that he sent me such a brain-woman, such a faithful friend and my love.
(about Yana) I have been training Zhenya for almost 20 years. I've known a bunch of his women and girlfriends. I want to say that Yana is the most constructive woman in his life.
(about Plu) He is a very sentimental and kind person. I have never met such a kind, honest, sincere and true person ever. Probably that's why God put me through all those terrible difficulties in my life that I could finally meet the person like Zhenya, as some kind of reward that I should have earned. I not just love him, I adore him. He is the person who gave me a fairy-tale. The life that I am living in now is a fairy-tale. I have never thought that I would be so happy.
(about the baby) There was no single day that Zhenya didn't take part in bathing Sasha. He prepares the water, towels, bathes him and than diapers the baby carefully. That is a really touching picture to see. Sasha is a tiny copy of Zhenya. His family probably has very strong genes because his elder son Egor also looks like his father very much. Sasha is very quiet and not naughty at all. Probably he's gonna be an athlete too, like his father.
(about the custody of her adopted son from the first marriage) Starting from the last year, patronized at that momet by Baturin, the biological mother of Andrei tried to do her best in order to "return" Andrei to her. The Baturin's plan was she took Andrei, then she legally gives up her motherhood and Andrei gets put in the orphanage. After that Baturin would ask for a bail to get out of prison on the ground that the child Andrei was left alone without parents or any guardians. It's impossibe to make a more cynical plan to get free/out-of-jail card.
I watched the entire fascinating video early this morning before your translation let's talk.
I goggled Yana's ex-husband Baturin and it said that he had 2 children with Yana. Is this true?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAbIVxz7mPA Yana has a son with Baturin, and an adopted son from Baturin's first marriage. They live together, plus Alexander. And sometimes Plushy's first son Egor will be with them.

^Thanks for the info and for posting the videos. The boys are adorable!
I think they need a baby girl! After Sochi, maybe!
I forgot to post it, seven years ago in 16. 02. 2006 Plush won his Olympic Champion title!! This is an old documentary
Maya Plisetskaya-the greatest ballerina in XX. century said about Plushy:
"I think his appearance is fine. He is tall, striking, with a handsome body and long arms. He is not some cute guy from the postcard, thanks god he is not!, but he has the perfect face for the stage. The ice is the stage too.
He looks like Godunov, the Russian ballet dancer. The same type- tall, handsome, self-confident, with long waving in the wind and pirouettes blond hair. In ballet he would be perfect at parts performed by Godunov. He has the temperament and virtuosity for that."
I totally agree with Ms Plisetskaya

Should research be subject to ethical responsibility?
I am writing an essay on the possession of knowledge and how it carries an ethical responsibility.
Nov 27 2012: I think knowledge should be free to everyone . Every individual has a choice what to do with the knowledge its his own will. However in a society one will be bound within rules about what is ethical and what is not.
Nov 27 2012: basically you are saying that knowledge is not the direct cause of behavior. knowledge might influence some people to do some things, but they can not ever blame knowledge for it, and the way to change their actions is not through denying knowledge. i agree to that notion.Nov 27 2012: discovery, as the name implies, is not creation. the truth is out there, it exists without us knowing about it. scientific discovery just reveals that existing structure of the universe. therefore it can not have any ethical implications.
Nov 27 2012: What if I try to establish the presence of a "faith" gene i.e. if you possess this faith gene, you will have faith, if you don't have this gene then you will lack faith? It does have ethical implications if you try to use science to destroy faith by establishing a biological origin for it
Nov 27 2012: 1, what if?
2, if it is genetic, how could i destroy anyone's faith?
Nov 27 2012: Faith is presence of belief without recourse to physical reality. To study faith and attempt to find a physical cause of it is to destroy it. If you use logic to destroy faith that is original sin. While the Bible is largely allegorical, one of the most profound passage in Genesis was when God told Adam not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
In other words God was saying to Adam, "Believe in me; have faith in me." Satan said to Eve, "Listen to me." Satan used logic on Eve to get her to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The first time logic was used it was used for evil i.e. to destroy faith in God. Now what are scientists trying to do? To portray the religious community as believing in the God of the Gaps i.e. more and more phenemena once believed to have supernatural occurrences can be explained by science. It is the avowed goal of people like Dawkins to eradicate religion, and, it appears, the belief in faith.You can destroy someone's faith by getting them to doubt it.Nov 27 2012: you are contradicting yourself here. you just started with faith being genetic, and now you are talking about destroying it. how can i destroy it if it is genetic? either one or the other.
Nov 27 2012: I'm saying that attempting to define a biological "cause" of faith, may have no validity except to scientists, but if it is used to destroy faith that others have, then it is fundamentally evil.Nov 27 2012: there is no such thing as "validity to someone". something is either valid or not. there is either a biological background for faith, or there is not. finding it out won't change it. not knowing it won't help making decisions.
Nov 28 2012: Valididity is in the eye of the beholder so I hold your argument invalid :)Nov 28 2012: if you think validity depends on the observer, your opinion holds no water for me
Nov 28 2012: Agreed. We can discount arguments that run away to the epistemological doubting of any knowledge.Nov 27 2012: Doesn't it already? Not to be criptic or unkind, but think about it for a second.
Lejan .
Nov 29 2012: Robert Oppenheimer was nominated for the Nobel Prize for physics three times. Given the magnitude of his lead, why did he never received the price by the committee?
- 0
Neither science nor ethics is capable to understand the whole sope of any new result in research, so ethics to me is related to applied science only.
Finding 'the power' in nuclear physics is ethically neutral, building a bomb by this knowledge isn't. Is ethics able to prevent the application of science? In short: No.
We have so many arguments against each ethical responsibility, that always will be build what can be build.
Arguments like: 'If not us, others will do. (weapons)' or 'It is for self-defence only (weapons)' or 'We have to fight starvation (GM food)' etc.
Any ethical argumentation can be lead ad absurdum by double negation. We invent weapons (bad) against the weapons (bad) of any potential agressor to defend ourselfs (= good).
Even without full understanding of long term effects (bad) we use our current and insufficient knowledge in genetical engineering (bad) to help to produce more food to feed the world (= good).
And on this we haven't even discussed the 'profit' side of both examples.
Only if ethics was capable to define timeless and universal 'higher truth', which it can't, we would be able to bust those vicious circles of arguments. But even then they still had to be applied, which is a different issue all by itself.
All I can do personally is to take my ethical responsibility wherever I am able to spot it and to hope to be strong enough to stick with it in times of need.Nov 28 2012: Ethics, also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct.
I hope that we can agree on the above defination, that would make conversation much easier. A inventor / scientest / researcher would normally have a hypothesis or theory that they are attempting to validate through scientific method. In the case of medical research there may be a condition that they are attempting to neutralize or reverse.
As a example I develop a laser to be used in eye and soft organ surgery. A military weapons engineer says that the laser has other possibilities and converts it to weapon status. As the laser was originally my idea and was developed for medical purposes and I abhore the use of my invention as a weapon I have acted ethically but the application as a weapon to me is unethical. Am I by default unethical?
The computer is a great tool in research and development but is also a tool for perverts to prey on victims. How things will be used once the researcher / developer completes his work is beyond his control.
However, having said that .. I think that Timmothy Oleary and his development of LSD was way over the ethical line. But since he was not centured by his university, punished, or fired the ethics of the university and my vision of ethics are very different.
This leads us to the question of who sets the ethical standards .. is it our culture .. if other cultures disagree which is ethical counrty A or B.
Some religions would never eat pork, some beef, some bottom dwellers, some no meat, etc ... who is right?
If there is a ethical responsibility it must be applied to the application not the initial research or development.
The exception, in my opinion, would be to endow a hypothesis that is designed for evil and has no other value or percieved value.
Because ethics deals with the argument of right and wrong is there to be consequences?
All the bestNov 27 2012: Gabriella,
YOU'RE the one who is supposed to write the essay. You should do the hard work of thinking and researching. Asking on TED unethical, on your behalf. Not that I care, but since you're asking about ethical responsibility, it is a bit too ironic.
Nov 28 2012: You have a point, and an interesting point. But you seem to be assuming that Gabriella is trying to dodge the hard work.
IMO, using a TED conversation as a research tool is completely ethical
To me, the irony is that the wide range of view points might make the work much harder.Nov 28 2012: Talking with people absolutely counts as researching the topic. She's not asking anyone to write the thing for here. You might as well say reading a book on the subject is copying the authors thoughts. Wrong.
Nov 28 2012: Trying to figure out where to look, what to read, and actually reading and digesting what one has read is quite effortful. THIS, in contrast, is lazy. Also note the amount of effort Gabriella has invested in framing the question and discussing the topic with commenters here.
Nov 29 2012: Yeah, the question does seem to have been posted with minimal effort. Though I wouldn't begrudge someone asking this kind of question here assuming they were still off doing other research themselves. Obviously, if this is it, then yeah it's lazy.Nov 27 2012: "Should research be subject to ethical responsibility?"
Do you mean to ask whether potentially dangerous technology should be invented (like nuclear weapons), or whether research should be done according to ethical standards (so not like Dr. Mengele)? Those are two very different issues but the way you framed your question it's unclear which one you meant.
Anyway, if it's the former I can tell you it doesn't matter what you think about, you can't stope people from inventing potentially dangerous stuff, because there will always be some rogue country or corporation that breaks the rules and in the end ALL technology can potentialy be misused. If it's the latter the answer should be a resounding YES. Sure some people say it's really necessary, but until they volunteer themselves I have a hard time believing them.
This reminds me of a sci fi show, on a ship cut-off from Earth, where one "the-ends-justify-all-means" scientist says it's imperative some experiment should be done with a human subject and he tries to convince other people to volunteer, even though the other scientists say it's very dangerous, when the one scientist finally begs the commander of the ship to perform the experiment the commander says to him "I'm not stopping you" [from doing the experiment with yourself as the subject], the one scientist than walks away and the commander mumbles "yeah, I thought so".Nov 27 2012: Are you writing about whether knowledge must be shared with anyone who could benefit from it, or are you asking whether there are ethical and unethical ways of conducting research and portraying its results?
In the first category one might find the issue of whether companies must share with potential rivals their intermediate results in research that is underway (or the recipes for their most popular dishes...). In the second category are questions like whether a researcher can do experiments on people who don't understand the risks or can dismiss data selectively that do not confirm his hypothesis.
Nov 27 2012: I agree with Fritzie. Please clarify if you are asking about conducting or the dissemination of research.
All research is subject to ethics, the difference being the culture it is conducted in.Nov 27 2012: Research should be subject to ethical responsibilty. It is a search for knowledge and truth but such should not be done by sinister, dodgy or shady means.Nov 27 2012: Well, it may seem obvious but I have to explore all possibilities to the question. It can be this way or this way..
I believe it does, but others may not.
Nov 27 2012: Do I understand you are not asking whether it does or does not exist now, but you are asking SHOULD THERE BE an intrinsic ethical responsibility associated with all knowledge? Either way the answer is "yes".

Tests that Help Evaluate a Brain Tumor
Your doctor will order more tests if he or she thinks you have a brain tumor. Here are some of the tests that might be done:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
An MRI scanner uses magnets and strong radio waves to make pictures of the brain. MRIs are very useful in diagnosing brain tumors because they allow your doctor to "see through" your skull. This results in clearer pictures of the brain. A technician might inject a special dye into your vein to make it easier to see the difference between a tumor and normal brain tissue. An MRI can show slices of the brain from many different angles. It can show smaller details better than other scans. An MRI is especially helpful in finding cancer in the back part of the brain called the posterior fossa. It is also better at finding cancer within the spinal cord.
Computed tomography (CT) scan
A CT scan is a type of X-ray that provides detailed pictures of the brain. Many images of the brain are taken as the X-ray scanner moves around your head. A computer combines these many images into a useful picture. Sometimes a technician injects a special dye into a vein before the CT scan to enhance the difference between normal and abnormal tissue. CT scans can also show problems that require immediate attention, such as:
Hydrocephalus, which is too much fluid in the brain's ventricles
Edema, which is swelling
A special form of CT scan, known as CT angiography, may be used to look at the blood vessels around a tumor to help plan surgery.
Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
In a PET scan, a technician injects a small amount of a radioactive substance (usually glucose, a type of sugar) into your vein. Fast-growing tissue, such as a tumor, absorbs this substance and can be seen by using a special type of scanner. The radioactive material used in this test is not dangerous. It will leave your body in about six hours. PET scans can help your doctor tell the difference between an actively growing tumor and damage from radiation therapy or a scar from surgery -- tumors light up while damaged tissue does not.
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)
An MRS scan can determine the metabolites inside the tumor. Sometimes, this test is used to determine whether a mass is an active tumor or a mass of radiation damage (necrosis).
An angiogram may also be called arteriogram or venogram, depending on which type of blood vessel is accessed. It's a series of X-rays taken after a technician injects a special dye into one of your blood vessels. A technician also inserts a catheter into one of your large blood vessels, usually in your groin, and then positions it with the help of an X-ray. After injection, the dye flows through the blood vessels in your brain and can be seen on X-rays. These X-rays show the tumor and the blood vessels that lead to it, which helps doctors plan surgery.
This test is used less often than in the past. CT angiography and magnetic resonance (MR) angiography are now used more often to look at blood vessels in the brain.
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)
This is a special type of MRI. An MRA is a new, less invasive alternative to an angiogram. But certain types of cancer cannot be seen with this technique.
A myelogram is an X-ray of the spine. A technician injects special dye into your cerebrospinal fluid in the spine to help make tumors more visible. This test is rarely done because MRIs offer more information without injecting dye into the spine.
Skull X-ray
Certain types of tumors can leave calcium deposits. A skull X-ray is very good at seeing these. Skull X-rays will also show changes to the structure of the skull caused by tumors.
Other tests
You may need formal testing of your vision or hearing. Your doctor may want to do an electroencephalogram, which checks your brain waves, to rule out invisible seizures.
If these tests suggest that a tumor might be present, a neurosurgeon will probably take a biopsy of the tumor. In most cases, this is the only way to know for sure if a tumor is benign or malignant, although sometimes doctors can get enough information to make a diagnosis from the imaging tests alone.
For a brain tumor biopsy, a doctor takes out as much of the tumor as possible through a bone "window" made in your skull. A pathologist examines this sample under a microscope to see if it is cancer.
Another type of biopsy is the stereotactic biopsy. For this biopsy, the neurosurgeon removes a small piece of the tumor with a needle. The needle is carefully guided and placed in the tumor with the help of an imaging test, such as an MRI or CT scan.
Sometimes, the doctor will test the biopsy tissue to see whether certain chemotherapy drugs will work against your tumor.
If you have questions about these tests, be certain to ask your doctor before agreeing to have them performed. All of your concerns should be addressed before the procedure begins.

Interpretive Handbook
9240 :
Malaria/Babesia Smear
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Malaria is a major tropical disease infecting approximately 500 million people and causing 1.5 to 2.7 million deaths annually. Ninety percent of the deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa and most of these occur in children <5 years old; it is the leading cause of mortality in this age group. This disease is also widespread in Central and South America, Hispaniola, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, Oceania, and Southeast Asia. In the United States, individuals at risk include travelers to, and visitors from endemic areas.
Malaria parasites undergo a life cycle which includes sexual mating of gametocytes in mosquitoes and asexual replication in the erythrocytes of humans who have been infected by the bites of mosquitoes. Infected erythrocytes rupture producing anemia and initiating the release of cytokines including tumor necrosis factor.
Malaria "pigment" and sluggish cerebral blood flow cause cerebral edema. Pulmonary and renal failures are dire consequences of malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum which can be a life-threatening infection. It is crucial to suspect malaria in any febrile patient who has been in an endemic area and to distinguish Plasmodium falciparum from other species since Plasmodium falciparum can cause life-threatening infections and is resistant to many commonly used antimalarial agents such as chloroquine.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
The rapid and accurate detection and species identification of Plasmodium
Detection of Babesia, trypanosomes, and some species of microfilariae
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive smear indicates infection with the identified species of Plasmodium or with Babesia.
Species identification can indicate the appropriate antimalarial therapy.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
For most sensitive detection of Plasmodium, thick smears must be examined.
Any exam which does not include a thick smear cannot be considered adequate.
On rare occasions, LightCycler PCR may be used to confirm difficult smears.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
If positive, organism identified
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Looks like YouTube won't allow the embedding of this video. I found another version and it appears to be working here.
The original video that I posted has had 719,336 views so far since September 3.

Re: Predator's Teenage Son
First time I've seen something like this.
Some strong work here; just because it's a spoof doesn't mean it has to look poorly animated (like too many of these types of clips on YouTube), and these guys get it.
And, they get it right.
Re: Predator's Teenage Son
That was a lot of fun...and pretty good production value too.

Anna Fenninger completed the mission with victory in the race and with it took the Globe for the Giant Slalom World Cup. Second after the first run, HEAD World Cup Rebel, Anna Fenninger, had her only rival for the Giant Slalom Globe in third and this would have been enough for the globe win – Fenninger pushed it to the limit and wanted both! Eva Maria Brem took second and Jessica Lindell-Vikarby third in the race.
With fog drifting in and out during the first run and then thinning for the second, this was a fitting climax to the whole World Cup season. With her last run of the race, it was all in her hands as to what would happen. "I did not know how Jessica had done," Fenninger explained after the race, "I was just focussing on how I would ski." The advantage was there and Fenninger attacked the course. Fortune favours the brave! "For me it was important to ski fast and not know what Jessica did," Fenninger added.
"It was an unbelievable day for me," said Fenninger. "There are a lot of emotions for me today. It was a great battle for the giant slalom globe with Jessica and I am and just really happy with today and the entire week in Lenzerheide."
After a tough start to the season in which she worked with her equipment she explained, Fenninger has won the last four Giant Slalom races to secure the Globe in Giant Slalom along with the Overall.
This is Fenninger's first small Globe and goes alongside the Overall Globe she had already secured earlier in the week. Fenninger likes her Giant Slalom as she feels that "when you are good in GS it is important. I like it and it is important in my heart."
Talking after the race Fenninger reflected on the win in the Overall and said "I am now the best skier in the world and I cannot believe that!"
Despite missing out on a first World Cup Downhill win, Fenninger was delighted and "totally happy" with the way her season finished: "If I someone had predicted this before the season, I would have given him a kiss and said: 'Thank you, I'll take.'
After the race Rainer Salzgeber, Racing Team Manager for HEAD explained that Fenninger winning the Giant Slalom Globe was the best surprise for him, especially after her start of the season.
