Would you translate (or spread) a TED talk if you didn't agree with it's topic or the speaker's point of view?
I think, I've said it all in the title.
Would you translate a TED talk even if you did not agree with it? Do you think that people will feel you agree if they see your name written next to it?
Would you be willing to spread ideas, even if you did not agree with them?

Apr 25 2012: Dear Dimitra,
- +3
I wanted to say "yes", at first. I would translate a talk I don't agree with. I think I've reviewed talks I don't agree with. I like to learn new and different opinions, and share different ideas.
But then I remembered there was one talk that at first seemed interesting, but after hearing the speaker, I chose to ignore it because I strongly disagreed with what he said. This opportunity, however, made me think differently. I decided I'm going to translate it and maybe learn something new in the process. Because, every time I translate, I go deeper into the subject, find out something that wasn't there on the first glance. I can stil disagree with his words, but I can also give other people a chance to agree ar disagree.
Thank you for this conversation and everyone who contributed!Apr 25 2012: The reason I joined the open translation project was to help spread ideas I felt were worth spreading. There are way too many TED videos out there and far too little time to translate all the ones I've loved, much less the ones I didn't.
Nevertheless, I agree with the point you made in one of your posts: even if I disagree with a video, translating it would allow for a bigger audience and a bigger audience would mean more people to think about the idea, criticize it and even refine it.
Now, having said the above, I should also mention that so far I haven't watched a single TED video that I felt opposed to. All the reactions I recall having ranged from "meh =/ " to "AWESOME!! o/", never "OUTRAGEOUS!! >("
As for the second part of your question, yes, I believe people would automatically assume I agree with the video. We're all volunteers here, we don't need to translate these videos to make a living, so it seems natural to me that one would assume I chose a particular video because I liked something about it. Of course a volunteer could only be translating in order to hone their skills and choosing videos solely based on how easy or hard the English transcript looks, but I don't think the average viewer would bother thinking that deeply into the matter :pApr 25 2012: I do translate :) cause It helps me to open my mind to other prospective.... it is hard to start, but you enjoy at the end and also learn a lot :)

Apr 22 2012: Thank you, dearest Mary M. For me it is a great pleasure to translate TED Talks as a volunteer.... Translation is also my job. But maybe when you volunteer you do a priceless job ;)Apr 22 2012: Translating and forwarding a talk are, to me, different. I am not a translator so I will discuss the spreading of an idea I am not in agreement with. A week ago I read a conversation that suggested all girls would manditorially lose their virginity by the age of 18. I strongly objected to the subject on many grounds and that this subject let alone the act was a insult to women and akin to rape. I spoke strongly against and would never endorse or send this to anyone. I would like to believe that I hold certain morals and principals that ex-president Clinton does not practice. I would however, listen to his views on US policy. I would like to think that I am fair but also realize that in some areas I am bias. So I would have to say that it would depend on the topic and the speakers point of view. I told a "homeless guy" I would give him $5 to talk to me for a few minutes. He said he was happy with his life and that he made about $200 to $300 a day. I ask him if he wanted a job and he ask why he would want to change. He thinks the people who give him money are fools. Maybe he has it right. We pay Al Gore a lot of money to be the face of Global warming while he lives in non-energy houses at more than a million apiece, travels in a massive polluting jet, and has been called one of the largest carbon footprinters of all times. Yet we listen to him as he says "we" are destroying the planet. Why. I am sure that you can name others that preach one thing and practice another. Don't ask a veteran about "Hanoi Jane" Fonda who was a traitor to the United States and offered aid and comfort to the enemy. But even TED ignored the facts about her and asked her to talk and has it in the TED files. I hope that TED did not agree with her politics but allowed her a opportunity to speak. If I pass it on and do not agree I say so. I'm to old for silly games. All the best. Bob

Apr 22 2012: Robert, how could you not see the happy face...........that was me smiling at your comment. Guess I assumed you understand sign language...lol
Truly, I enjoyed your comment.......I did not want to add anything else..I wanted it to stand all on it's own. Thank you

May 11 2012: Yes. I feel that if you disagree with something others will too. Some might also agree with the speaker, but you must give them a chance to either agree or disagree. If not, well what's the point?May 7 2012: Translating is a technical act, supportive in general of the principles of your chosen TED community.
- +1
Agreeing with a particular speaker or presentation is a personal act, specifically supportive of the idea(s) presented.
Translating is NOT spreading, it is simply enhancing the accessibility of a work. Potential readers still get to decide if they want to read it. Of those who choose to read it, each gets to decide if they agree - in whole or in part - with the work. That decision belongs to the readers, not the translator.
Maybe the most persuasive and artful rebuttal of an idea you don't agree with will come from someone who read YOUR translation! Democracy is neither easy nor pretty!

Apr 30 2012: I open my earsto what everyone has to say but if the idea is BS I could not find myself to translate something that I find horribly wrong

Luo Ying
Apr 30 2012: yeah, i would. From my perspective, we should respect other's idea no matter what it is. As for whether it is true or not, people have their own different points of view. There is no person having totally same opinion.Apr 24 2012: Your question started me thinking about censure where do you draw the line? history has taught that it is a double edge sword. What a society believes is a proper way to express its ideology while stopping those within that society from expressing there own counter ideas about how that society should be,takes away freedom of expression and this only happens in societies that have little faith in the people who live there which creates oppression .In a strong society freedom of speech is welcomed if you take the best of those ideas and use them to better the society.Sadly this place does not exist yet ,but I believe it is possible these seeds have been planted in many countries in history usually after a bloody revolution that started because of an idea.Look at the history of any revolution and the first thing the victors declared was that this was the beginning of a utopia where all men are created equal,well we know how that worked out .I hope the day will come when man has evolved to where he trusts his fellow men to do the right thing ,so that questions like this Dimitra , will never be asked again.By the way I have been to your city it is beautiful .Apr 24 2012: Sometimes if you didn't agree with any topic discussed here... there may be reasons that your interpretation is not perfect and in that case you shall refrain yourself from translating. Although this is just one of the possibility. Personally, I take translations which I love from the bottom of my heart so as to spread that word in my language perfectly. It will surely be difficult if I am in mode of complete disagreement with any topic.

Apr 22 2012: No.

And yes.
Dimitra Papageorgiou, I spread the ideas presented in TED talks all the time. I can't say that I end up agreeing with any of them. As I do with most of my reading, I anticipate the possibility of complete correctness and accuracy. Then I imagine the speaker or writer having a conversation with someone with an opposing view. I let them challenge each other.
I share what I have noticed and what I agree with and what I don't agree with. Mostly my decision to share or not share comes from my conclusions about the importance of the topic.
Greek and French? An interesting collection of languages you have.
I cannot translate very well into Spanish, my only other language, but if translating was the task at hand, I would do my best to stay true to the intent of the speaker or writer. (I would still want to say what III think, somewhere, somehow.)
MarkApr 22 2012: No, I probably won't, but is there a system of removing unappealing ideas, if there were any? Though I want to add that all ideas are worth examing, so others can learn what to do or what not to do. I guess I should rephrase that I would spread the idea and how it isn't a good idea or one that I agree with. =)Apr 22 2012: Wouldn't NOT translating 'what we don't agree with' simply amount to another form of censorship?
Don't we have enough problems with dealing with "fredom of information issues", without complicating it by trying to judge the information's merit?
I don't agree with a lot of things I've heard and seen, from a lot of places, but the fact remains that I had access to it, and was able to determine its merit on my own...
As for myself, I would be pleased to debate the validity of content that I (personally) had translated, if it were to happen... but I could only speak for my own opinions.
As for other people thinking that I agreed with it, I'm sure they would soon recognise that the translation was only a task, not a belief.Apr 21 2012: Most of the times i translate TED talks just because i want to practice my English/Greek.Picking the right word (even when there is no exact translation) is a challenge i'm always willing to take!.I don't really agree that when people see my name next to the video they will think that i agree with the idea.And i don't do it so as the people see my name next to it.

Apr 21 2012: When you translate, I don't think most readers consider you an author. In terms of whether you should refuse to spread or translate talks you don't agree with, I think there are distinct cases within that category.
- +1
Being open-minded means we should be willing to listen to the arguments people make for positions we don't agree with. We might change our views, but even if we don't, it is beneficial to understamd the thinking of those who have a different point of view. An example here might be a talk by an atheist or by a believer. I think whichever point of view you hold, it advances understanding in the world if we all hear intelligent and thoughtful arguments from either sort of speaker.
Moving perhaps outside the TED arena, if what you read or hear is something that is not just an opposing point of view but goes beyond this to being truly reprehensible, like slander or racism, I would not translate or spread it. This situation would not arise in TED but fits in the context of your broader question "Would you be willing to spread ideas, even if you didn't agree with them?"Apr 21 2012: Dimitra,
Here is a video of an author being interviewed......listen to the advice her mother gave her, perhaps it will help you have peace with whatever decision you make.
Be Well
Apr 21 2012: Hi Mary,
I have already translated several TED talks that I don't agree 100% in order to discuss them with Greek friends.
I don't consider my point of view to be the only valid or true, therefore I don't mind considering ideas that initially feel strange or wrong to me.
It is surprising how useful a strange idea may prove to be or how much it may change your point of view.
You may even find, that after all, there are aspects you can totally agree upon and that can lead to a world that respectfully embraces diversity.
Apr 21 2012: Humility Dimitra, yes, we cannot consider our point of view the only valid one.
And, many times, it is the ideas that I most disagree with that time and again I meditate on. Because of the desire of understanding the others' point of view.
Thank you so much for replying to my comment.
I had a very good friend from Greece who lived overseas the same as me, we did some travelling together, her name was Elizabeth. I still remember the Greek phrase she taught me till this day..
Be WellApr 22 2012: Thank you for sharing the video of Elizabeth Gilbert. Beautiful, indeed.
Apr 22 2012: You are welcome :)

May 18 2012: Absolutely not.May 17 2012: Would TED post a topic that is real talk about rich people where the entry fee starts at $7,500—and reaches heights of $125,000? http://roundtable.nationaljournal.com/2012/05/the-inequality-speech-that-ted-wont-show-you.php

May 17 2012: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" -Evelyn Beatrice Hall kinda summed it up. But would I personally refuse to translate something I despised? Yes I would. In actively participating in its release, you are lending yourself to it's dissemination. I also would do nothing to prevent it's dissemination.May 16 2012: I do frequently if i think the view is well stated and interesting. I have enjoyed talks that are different than my prospective in dramatic ways, and I think help us to see the world better even if I don't agree with all or perhaps any of the content.
- 0
Translating I can see a legitimate issue on the other hand and if I spoke a second language well enough I would have more difficulty feeling I was doing the translation justice if I either didn't understand the speaker or did not come from similar prospective. The better I think I understand the case being made the more I would be tempted to translate even if I disagree with view.
If it was a political leader I would also be more tempted to attempt a translation. What's in their head matters more as they have realistic and direct power.
Final point I think it has more to do with your respect of the speaker than your agreement.May 16 2012: I sometimes run into this at work. I am not the only person on the planet. If I disagree with the content or ideas I would not perpetuate or further disseminate. Someone else without an issue can disseminate it. It does not have to be me.May 14 2012: I do in fact always create dialog on topics of discussion that I don't agree with. The purpose is to get ideas and perspectives on topics that I might not be familiar with and that may even change my own way of thinking. I always appreciate difference in all of its forms. Afterall, it's the reason I come ot TED.May 13 2012: Sincerely, no. I think that disagreeing means not support.how can one cooperate with the dissemination of anything he/she think is wrong?
Becky C
May 12 2012: Depends how much I was against them, I may like Mohammad said not be able to find the motivation to do it but if I very strongly disagree'd with it then I would still probably do it if no one else was willing to do it but feel a little down as I said it and wouldn't sound as inspiring.May 12 2012: I would spread it. However I may not translate it voluntarily. Voluntary translation jobs requires huge motivation that this translation is going to help the people of my community. Now if I do not agree to a certain talk I may not find that motivation to start translating it.

May 7 2012: I would say that as individuals, we do not have much power to say that one idea is universally wrong. All we can do i agree, partially agree or not agree. I couldn't picture myself translating or spreading the idea i do not fancy. Partially because i am bad at translating, but majorly because it would be a misleading sign that i share the same thought. It could be done only if I was to wright a comment with it describing my opinion.May 7 2012: I think people like to help sharing ideas they are belie in. Even if someone does it, it changes the whole agenda of translation and effectiveness of it.
- 0
So i don't think I would do it.May 5 2012: Most of the time I would say yes and I have actually done it before. I think information is incredibly valuable and necessary in order to have an informed opinion and a convincing argument. You need to be prepared to speak against ideas and topics in which you do not agree with the conclusions. Thus, sharing topics and talks with others and explaining why I disagree is a good process for building an informed opinion.May 4 2012: Absolutely YES for what dose politics do in general? We see a point then we argue it and come to a conclusion. No wonder this world looks like a hole big dictatorship full of trolls to squash anything not in-tunes with the powers that spread such nonsense in my point of view of course. To think ones own thoughts are correct without fully understanding where how what when the person persons it came from In any manner is to deny yourself of understanding therefore doing both the world and self injustice. If I say I am in pain then believe me I am in pain. just because someone says well I am not dose not take away that persons pain in realty. I tend to stick with you are right before I but in this instance of said topic I find the thoughts disturbing on a personal basis. Maybe at 36 years of age I still have not had enough brainwashing but hay who am I anyway! Evolving times change minds? Well in 2000 years I only se backward steps with everyone thinking they are somewhat separated to the rest! This may be truer these days than ever before. Can you see a problem?May 3 2012: I wouldn't share a talk that went against my code of ethics. I would only share a talk I disagreed with if I thought it would generate healthy debate on the topic. Just because we CAN send information around the world at almost the speed of light does not mean that we have to. I think we should be circumspect about what we share and take responsibility for it.Apr 30 2012: Yes!! most emphatically!!! Ideas are the stimulus of conversation. no matter how far out your particular idea might be, it's still subject to conversation, and thought!!Apr 30 2012: No. I can not translate language. Translation aside: The spreading of 'bad' ideas potentially constitutes misinformation - if the idea is actually poor. There is no point to spread ideas that are not worthy of being spread, otherwise we would fill the world (and our minds) with rubbish if there was no selection process.
Fortunately, no matter how hard a person tries, most of the information that one percieves is already highly selected, though still it may be a mistake to ignore part of your selection criteria, specifically if the criteria in question is well grounded in logic. If one does not agree with an idea, then I believe discussing it might still be worth while in order to ensure that the perspective is given sufficient consideration.
(which technically may unintentionally spread the idea, though not necessaily in the original perspective or a good light)
Does anyone really think it would be worthwhile to spread an idea that one knows to be false?
How would that be different to spreading an idea that one suspects is wrong or misguided?
I would prefer to research the idea to confirm or falsify my suspicions (which includes the aforementioned discussion)
It may be that some people might percieve the view I just explained as "spreading an idea that I do not agree with", but that would be an incorrect perception since any discussion would most likely spread an opposing or differing view.
We can still respect others without disseminating information that one does not agree with.Apr 30 2012: It depends on the talk and my knowledge regarding the topic. There are many topics that have view points that I may not agree with, however do present valuable information that may allow others to decide on their own. I am not saying that I may not include my view when promoting such a discussion. Ideas and points of view are always changing as new information becomes available. Without conflicting views an idea would remain dormant and never progress to the next level.Apr 30 2012: well, this seems to be an ethical question. If the Ted talk could not be utilized for a marginalized group, I would say, please, give them access to these ideas! If you disagree with it you can discuss the talk with give and take. What you didn't like about it and the reverse for them. So long as you can find common ground to spring from. I think that is the key.Apr 26 2012: No,I wouldn't, and for the same reason why the majority of the participants say - "Yes"
You can't be separate from the work you do.
If you take the talk you disagree with, your translation will inevitably reveal your attitude and reinforce the flaws of the talk.
In a way it prevents spreading. I think, it's better to leave it for the translator who shares the idea.Apr 26 2012: Yes. To me that is one of the defining aspects as to how intelligent we are; the ability to share ideas, whether we like them or not. To have open and frank discussions and the ability to try and understand how someone sees a thing differently. I would certainly translate/spread a TED talk if for no other reason than to spark intellectual dialogue.Apr 25 2012: I would. I think that both tolerance and appreciation of others and other points of views is an important part of co-existence in harmony and key to the same vision of spreading ideas and knowledge.Apr 25 2012: No, I would not, both translating & spreading.
At one case I chose a talk to translate. After TED assigned it to me, I found in that talk something which I completely rejected. So I wrote to TED and asked them to remove that talk from my translation assignments, and they did.
Yes, I think people feel that a translator of something does identify, at least for some extent, with his\her translation. But even if people would not think so, I myself cannot translate meaningful material like TED talks if I do not identify with it at least for some extent, or do not like it. I do not mean to pure technical or scientific stuff like articles, projects, researches, etc....Apr 25 2012: I wonder why our comment stream was removed?Apr 25 2012: This is a great question! Personally, I would not think twice about translating it even if I disagreed with it's content. In fact, I find the speaker's perspective all the more interesting if his/her ideas conflict with mine. Sharing an idea is a wonderful thing to do, irrespective of what the idea is.Apr 25 2012: Absolutely...
Relating this to my workplace, it is like a doctor going through with a surgery even though it goes against his/her moral and/or ethical pov.
Ideas are created to be shared, Interesting question!Apr 24 2012: Yes, to get views from other people.
"Would you be willing to spread ideas, even if you did not agree with them?"
-Yes!, Idea is idea irrespective of my personal opinion.Apr 23 2012: ALL arguments deserve to be heard, so long as they who express are open to criticism which matches their expression. I don't often share articles which I disagree with, but not because I'm unwilling. Indeed, were I to volunteer to translate a talk and got one here I didn't agree with I would certainly translate it. We must have an honest, open conversation! All should be willing to discuss any topic!Apr 23 2012: This is a very interesting question! I don't think i would have the need to translate a TED talk unless I agreed with its message! Unless some one close to me asked for it!
Apr 23 2012: Hi Olivia,
It has happened to me in the past, to begin translating a talk I thought I agreed with 100% and in the process realize there were aspects I did not agree with.
Would you just abandon a talk like that, or would you continue the translation?
Apr 23 2012: Let your yes mean yes, and your no mean no.
I think that as others have stated on here Dimitra, once you translate the talk, you can turn around and make comments about the talk and the parts you disagreed with.
I can't help but think about the United Nations translators, and those used by the judicial systems.
They must have to translate some awful ideas, and downright disgheartening details that are not even in their vocabulary.......but, it is their job.
Again, it is a matter of conscience. Only you know what is right for you.
Here is something else to consider: sometimes exposing a ridiculous ideas to public knowledge can bring an individual to his/her senses. Sometimes it has a very good effect, this translation and making it known worldwide.
Be Well. Your conversation has allowed me to learn much Dimitra. Thank you for asking this question.Apr 23 2012: Hello Dimitra :)
I think once you start something its only proper to finish it; even if you don't agree with the entire message. Maybe your friend will agree with what is being said. Or maybe they don't! But that is something to discuss after the talk is over!Apr 23 2012: lol Hello Dimitra :)
I have a big problem with bias news! Everything is prefiltered with only one opinion! The opinion of corporate America!!! People need to be presented with both sides of an argument and to do anything less is unethical! Unfortunately many news stations play by these unethical rules now a days. So YES I think you most certainly have an obligation to finish translating a TED talk!Apr 22 2012: No, i don't think so . usually people say what they believe . in the case where ppl disagree i think it will not be easy to do so .Apr 22 2012: Jaime the author Lewiss Carroll also played with this concept in "Jaberwocky".....a poem begun in the mid 1800's
Twas bryllyg, and ye slythy toves
Did gyre and gymble in ye wabe:
All mimsy were ye borogoves;
And ye mome raths outgrabe
Using the phonetic principles of language and word composition strategies, one can have great fun with this play on words.....critical thinking required :)
The poems by Reyes are fantabuloso....I had not been exposed to this concept in spanish before, thank you for sharing.
Apr 22 2012: Finnegans Wake from Joyce is a linguistic playground.
The translator is a phantom not a jugde.
And theres some impossible things to translate in any lenguage. For example the bullfighting terms.
Theres five lenguage levels:
1. Phonos
2. Lexicon
3. Morpho-sintaxis
4. Semantic
5. Pragmatic
In any of this levels is present a space for the censorship from translators.Apr 23 2012: Mary........just dance and enjoy the misterious sound of the non written words
Apr 23 2012: Jaime, when we get the choice to sit it out or dance...........dance is always the better choice.
Bueno a luchar con otra semana......a veces gano yo, a veces gana la semana....HA!
Muchingola agradeshimo Jaime........du vericole. =)Apr 22 2012: I feel that it very much depends on the people involved, In reality those who reject ideas seem to be almost threatened by them. I feel that anyone could be accepting of others ideas with the guidelines of the brainstorming model should we as a people realize that we can all have our ideas, why do we have to tell others that they are wrong or horrible ideas. We live in a word where taking control of a conversation and how fluidly you can spew verbage regardless of the integrity or merit of what those words actually become and imply. It is a very sad case because the rejection of ideas is a needed thing but in a constructive not destructive way. I personally have not found a TED talk that I disagree with because I respect each individual who is speaking, I understand they are more educated on the matter and see if from a less flawed view as I. too bad those who are like me are not the majority.Apr 22 2012: Mary the art of translation is also the art of invention....have you heard about "jitanjafora"....as Steve Jobs said :"connecting the dots"......Apr 22 2012: If I were a translator, YES I would. If I disagreed with the content I would make it clearer that I am only the translator.
Folks might, refer to above.
I would be willing to present (or spread) most ideas for review and comment. I think that is some of the inherent beauty of TED. My willingness to debate, explore and question, is pretty un-fettered and I like it that way.
I think I would have to draw the line at something like KKK (or nazi) propaganda. I would NOT be translating that trash.Apr 22 2012: Honestly, I think that people feel I agree with the talk when they see my name written next to it. But I don't care - I've been trained for this at the University. For 4 years!! :) But that's the beauty of TED - you can choose what you want to translate. When you're working for a publishing house, you don't have that choice - once, I had to translate an awful self-help book by Suzanne Somers and spent a month crying and translating. (Some people like her, though)
So, yes I would translate such a talk, but would not spread the idea. Also, I think that most people nowadays, rather spread and talk about ideas that they found shocking than those that were 'just' informative.
Apr 22 2012: Branislav, you make a good point.
I think it is often the ideas that we wholeheartedly disagree, that are controversial, that bring the most discussions.
Thank you for your work. Not all of us enjoy Suzanne Somers work....she uses her name to promote lots of
items......make-up, jewelry, books, diets, etc.. etc.........alot of television personalities do this, when they cannot find work in television anymore.Apr 22 2012: I suppose I'd choose the talks I like and let others translate it because I wouldn't enjoy working on ideas I myself don't share --but if I had to I would obviously work on it I trying to be faithful to the speaker's words since emotions must be absolutely kept asideApr 22 2012: In a contest like TED's, where I am free to choose the talks I want to translate, then I would simply decide not to contribute to spreading ideas I am not in agreement with, and let somebody else work on the translation. Then, if I HAD to translate something I don't agree with, I would certainly try to remain as objective as possible, although, I'm afraid, if your heart is not into it, you're not going to do as good as a job.Apr 22 2012: I tend to tranlsate speeches that I find interesting. I usually agree with them, at least in principle, but I have to admit I often lack the tools or knowledge to be able to disagree with all the theories underlying them. To answer your question: as a rule, in order to help spread the idea, I prefer to agree with the main message the talker is trying to convey . But, should I partly disagree with the message, I must really really really look up to the person giving the speech and her/his ideas in order to give help spreading their ideas....such a short time, so many talks/websites/articles to translate...I prefer to use my time to help to sprea ideas I believe in.Apr 22 2012: I believe a translator should convey the message as faithfully as possible. Your emotions should be put aside and if you can't, you better leave the talk to someone else. Take this as an example... if you are a believer, would you translate the talk of an atheist and respect his/her opinions? If the answer is no, then you should not do it. The other way round is also true. If you are an atheist and you are asked to translate the talk of a believer you might not be using the right words or style, you might not have the same sensibility especially when there are certain nuances at play... But as you said, translating is so important and should not be taken lightly... by the way, thanks for this great conversation... indeed an idea worth spreading :)
Apr 22 2012: Hi Paola, thank you for participating.
You ask whether a believer can respect the talk of an atheist and vice versa. To tell you the truth I don't see why not, but even before that, a translator should respect the language and the viewer.
On the other hand, let's say I am an atheist and I want to criticize the talk of a believer with my fellow countrymen. Don't you think I should do my best to convey the speaker's message in order to argue upon it?
This is how I see it: In order to disagree with something I am translating, I need to translate it as best as possible and then express my point of view against it.
Paola Buoso
Apr 22 2012: If you want to translate a talk - but please keep in mind that you should be as faithful and loyal as possible to the speaker when you do that - and then comment on it and express a different view, of course you can... I would do it. But when I translate I always try to put my emotions aside... it's a good exercise anyway and a way to learn to respect others' opinions and views.Apr 22 2012: Well..if I do conduct the translation, I should do it in a objective way. When face a opposite opinion, it's inevitable to add emotionally against stance. That's unfair for both speaker and TED viewers. So, I won't do it.
- +2
Apr 22 2012: Hi Mathilda,
You cannot really add your emotional stance in subtitles. Otherwise we would be able to tell if a translator enjoyed the movie he/she subtitled (all foreign movies are subtitled in my country). I don't consider it to be inevitable.
The translator could however, intentionally or unintentionally slant the speaker's words even if he/she agrees with him/her. This is why translating is so important and should not be taken lightly.
Apr 22 2012: Hi DimitraI agree with you. It's important for a translator to be objective. In addition, objectivity also plays a dominate role in other activities like voting. It is an aspect I should improve.
Apr 22 2012: I feel objectivity is an aspect everyone has a margin of improvement.
I know I should improve too. :)
Nice talking with you!Apr 22 2012: it all depends on what was being said to be honest
If my well-being depended on such a task then I would perhaps have to do itApr 22 2012: Dimitra translingua dromos cuor photofreta (translate this plis).Apr 22 2012: Marim, linguafresca apris cuor yoloxichtl anima trulii.Apr 21 2012: Agreement and reality are the same thing. E.g. If someone disagrees with something that thing is not real to them. No matter how much the alcoholic tries to warn others about the dangers of the pink pachyderm, others are going to say what? and they are certainly not going to spread the word about the potentially dangerous pink pachyderm as it is not real to them.
Would you translate the psychotic series of assumptions the Greek government made about Greece's future?
I think this is how the media biases what they report on as this is their reality, it is not that they are purposely lying.
Apr 22 2012: Hi Pat, thank you for your answer!
I would love to translate every misconception made for my country by the Greek government. That would broaden the criticism against it, don't you think?
Apr 22 2012: Not that mine is any better.Apr 21 2012: I personally believe that everyone should be able to make his or her own decisions and that I, as a translator, only enable this process.
I support this view although I then risk that if I translate the given talk, I put bias in my translation, and I need to be aware of that, in order to minimise it.Apr 21 2012: One thing is translating, another is sharing the same views of the speaker. Here at TED we are all volunteers so I guess we can refrain from translating talks we do not agree with.
Apr 22 2012: I did not know all the translators are volunteers.
Very interesting.
Well, you know what they say about volunteers Paola?
"Volunteers do not get paid,
not because they are worthless,
But, because they are PRICELESS!
Thank you and all your fellow volunteers for the wonderful work you do.
Gracias, Merci, Domo Arigato GozaimasuApr 21 2012: In my opinion, it is the translator's job to share what the speaker is saying by writing everything he or she says on the subtitles below. If someone does not want to spread the speaker's message (they disagree with the arguement or dislike the speaker) than that too is fine. However, I do not think that someone should translate a speaker's conversation and leave out or change parts they do not agree with. Everyone has the right to their own opinon; nothing should be censored.
As for your other questions, I am not sure anyone thinks the translator is the artist/creator/mastermind behind the message. To me, the translator is more of a tool like a phone, television. radio, or podcast to spread a message.
And finally... No, I would not spread a message that I believe is incorrect, dangerous, or do not agree with. I would not want anyone to think I am supporting that message and I would not want other people to agree with that message. After all, everyone likes when people agree with them and dislike when people do not.Apr 21 2012: Very good topic !
- And as being a "volunteer" TED translator , your job is to reflect the speaker point of view.
- And since you are TED Language Coordinator, I believe you have to monitor other translators as well.
- If you are not sure you can do it, then withdraw it immediately! and translate another talk.
For me, I always try to reflect the speaker point of view as if it was me!
thanksApr 21 2012: I never look at something that was translated and consider the translator as the creator of it. I look to the author. Translator's have influence over the tone and details of the subject, but not the substance. I would not hold the translator accountable for the message. To me, as far as 'responsibility' for the message, the translator is just one step above the newscaster's responsiblity for the news. As far as whether or not one decides to do it, that would be very situational and the individual's decsion at the time.
Apr 21 2012: RH, you know, I wouldn't hold the translator responsible either.
I have often been sitting watching the news, and a report is given on some terrible subject that doesn't need to be aired in public, and I have caught myself thinking, "I'm glad I'm not a newscaster, because I couldn't bring myself to spread all the garbage that passes for news."
It is a tough dilemna to be in.
Apr 21 2012: Thank you for responding. For me, the 'news' is like any other business. They're trying to sell us what they think we'll buy. If a product I'm considering is, in my opinion, 'garbage', I wouldn't waste my time with it - unless I'm feeling 'trashy' that day (sorry, I couldn't resist!). But you're right. When we've taken on responsibility to perform a task and we're in dissagreement with the subject of that task, it makes for difficult choices. But that's what it's all about, isn't it? Choices. We weigh the risks and rewards, the consequences and the benefits, and try to live. And this, to me, is where it gets interesting. How much of a decision is about me and what I get out of it, and how much is my effect on the world around me? Can there be a balance, or not? What is truly necessary in this situation? What is desirable? Sorry, I find these dilemma's facinating...
Apr 21 2012: Yes, out of the morass of our dilenmas we can grow...grow...grow...
Thank you.
I find that Dimitra hit the nail on the head with her reply to me.
She translates talks into Greek, and discusses them.
Kind of when I was little, I would have to translate everything into english for my parents....oftentimes I didn't want to......but I had to.......wish I knew back then what i know now......the phrase "don't kill the messenger"....=)
Thanks for the interchange of ideas. Have a great weekendApr 21 2012: Dimitra, sometimes we have to take a stand for what we believe in.
Your decision must be based on your conscience. If you are being paid to do this job, and your supervisor recognizes you as a person of integrity, loyal to your convictions, then I can't imagine him forcing you to translate.
If you are a volunteer, well then, simply explain your position, and kindly request another talk.
Choose your words carefully, be respectful.......only you can decide the answer to your own question.
I hope my words will help you.

About LIM College
The Fashion Center Unveils "Made in the USA" Window Designed by LIM College Students
Poses the question "Where Were You Made?" to support American products
A window display titled "Made in the USA," designed by Visual Merchandising students from LIM College, was recently unveiled at The Fashion Center Space for Public Art and Design, which is part of the headquarters of the Fashion Center Business Improvement District (BID), the not-for-profit corporation that promotes New York City's apparel industry. The window will be on display through December 15.
The window features images of products and brands that are "Made in the USA" that one might spot during a quintessential all-American pastime: tailgating. The back of a Chevrolet truck with Goodyear tires holds classic tailgating treats including the iconic American hotdog, Coca-Cola, and snack brands such as Cracker Jack, Lay's potato chips and Doritos. And a mannequin wears an ensemble made completely from labels of the Hershey brand -- the top combines cuttings of the wrappers of Kit Kat bars and Reese's Pieces and the skirt flounce is a double tier of Hershey's chocolate bar wrappers.
The window design aims to showcase great American brands and encourage their purchase to help support the American economy and domestic job security by asking the question "Where Were You Made?"
The window was conceived, designed and installed by the students in LIM College's Visual Presentation course, which is taught by Marjorie Lee Woo, Associate Chair of the Visual Merchandising Department. Participating students included: Carinne Cusanelli, Symone Audain, Danielle Locke, Aurora Lopez, Abby Yisrael and Samantha Scopo. Visual Merchandising Chair Eric Feigenbaum also provided assistance.
"The Fashion Center has provided an incredible opportunity for our Visual Merchandising students," said LIM College President Elizabeth S. Marcuse. "We hope this window display brings a smile to the thousands of New Yorkers and visitors who see it as they walk through the Garment District, while also stimulating conversation about some of the important economic issues facing our nation."

Lady Bucs Stun Chattanooga, 92-83
Saturday, December 29, 2001JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 29, 2001) - East Tennessee State shot a torrid 70 percent from the field in the second half to take control of a back and forth game and defeat defending Southern Conference champions, Chattanooga, 92-83, Saturday afternoon from Memorial Center in Johnson City. The Lady Bucs jumped out in front quickly, building a 9-4 lead with 16:28 remaining in the first half after a Ashley Reed (Barrackville, W.Va) three-pointer. However, the Lady Mocs fought back and took a 13-12 lead just three minutes later. ETSU took an eight-point lead, 30-22, with 4:30 left in the half after two Lauren Trantham (Asheville, N.C.) free throws, but would see that lead evaporate as Chattanooga would quickly go on a 13-4 run that would give the Lady Mocs a 35-34 lead going into halftime. The Lady Bucs would begin the second half on a 9-0 run to again take an eight-point lead, 43-35 with 17:41 remaining in the game. But, much like the first half, the Lady Mocs came right back, going on a 9-0 run to take the lead back with 13:54 remaining, 46-45. This would begin a frantic second half that included 15 lead changes and eight ties. The Lady Bucs would take control for good after two free throws by Trantham gave ETSU an 84-83 lead with 2:15 remaining. Megan Jackson (Paris, Tenn.) then made consecutive layups to make the score 88-83 and fuel an 8-0 ETSU run to close the game. ETSU shot 21-30 (.700) from the floor in the second half, including 3-5 from three-point range. For the game, the Lady Bucs shot 58 percent from both the field (33-57) and three-point range (7-12). Jackson was the star of the Lady Buc second-half rally, scoring 15 of her season-high 17 points in the second stanza. The senior forward shot a perfect 8-8 from the floor for the game and played great defense against Lady Moc star guard Damita Bullock. "Megan really had a great game at both ends of the floor," said ETSU head coach Karen Kemp. "She did a tremendous job defensively against the two-time defending Southern Conference Player-of-the-Year (Bullock) and she hit some key baskets for us down the stretch." The Lady Bucs also received key contributions from Reed and Trantham. Reed had game-highs with 20 points and six assists. The freshman guard was 6-11 from the field, including 4-6 from three-point range. Trantham was an inside force for ETSU, scoring a career-high 17 points on 5-10 shooting. She also was 7-7 from the free throw line and pulled down a team-high six rebounds. Bullock led the Lady Mocs with 17 points and a game-high nine rebounds, but was just 4-13 from the floor on the afternoon. Forward Jennifer Wilson also had nine rebounds and scored 14 points on 6-9 shooting for Chattanooga. Lady Moc guard Miranda Warfield scored 11 of her 16 points in the second half, knocking down three three-pointers in the second stanza. The win moves ETSU's record to 7-4, 2-0 in Southern Conference play. The seven wins is as many as ETSU had in the entire 2000-01 season. Chattanooga falls to 6-4, 1-1 in the SoCon. This is ETSU's first win over Chattanooga since the 1998-99 season. "We have worked hard since day one with a goal of being the Southern Conference champions," said Kemp following the game. "With the way that this team is playing, we think that is an attainable goal. The win gives the Lady Bucs a three-game winning streak and a six-game winning streak at home. This also marks another win for the Lady Bucs when they reach the 80-point plateau. Over the last three seasons, ETSU is 23-1 when scoring more than 80. The Lady Bucs return to action on Monday, Dec. 31 at 5:30 p.m. against Southern Conference rival Georgia Southern. Chattanooga will continue their road trip, playing at College of Charleston on Dec. 31 at 6 p.m.

Glaucoma is not just one eye disease, but a group of eye conditions resulting in optic nerve damage, which may cause loss of vision. Abnormally high pressure inside your eye (intraocular pressure) usually, but not always, causes this damage.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. Glaucoma can damage your vision so gradually you may not notice any loss of vision until the disease is at an advanced stage. The most common type of glaucoma, primary open-angle glaucoma, has no noticeable signs or symptoms except gradual vision loss.
Early diagnosis and treatment can minimize or prevent optic nerve damage and limit glaucoma-related vision loss. It's important to get your eyes examined regularly, and make sure your eye doctor measures your intraocular pressure.
The most common types of glaucoma — primary open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma — have completely different symptoms.
Primary open-angle glaucoma signs and symptoms include:
Acute angle-closure glaucoma signs and symptoms include:
Both open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma can be primary or secondary conditions. They're called primary when the cause is unknown and secondary when the condition can be traced to a known cause, such as eye injury, medications, certain eye conditions, inflammation, tumor, advanced cataract or diabetes. In secondary glaucoma, the signs and symptoms can include those of the primary condition as well as typical glaucoma symptoms.
Don't wait for noticeable eye problems. Primary open-angle glaucoma gives few warning signs until permanent damage has already occurred. Regular eye exams are the key to detecting glaucoma early enough to successfully treat your condition and prevent further progression of your condition.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends a comprehensive eye exam for all adults starting at age 40, and every three to five years after that if you don't have any glaucoma risk factors. If you have other risk factors or you're older than age 60, you should be screened every one to two years. If you're African-American, your doctor likely will recommend periodic eye exams starting between ages 20 and 39.
In addition, be aware that a severe headache or pain in your eye, nausea, blurred vision, or halos around lights may be the symptoms of an acute angle-closure glaucoma attack. If you experience some or several of these symptoms together, seek immediate care at an emergency room or at an eye doctor's (ophthalmologist's) office right away.
For reasons that doctors don't fully understand, increased pressure within the eye (intraocular pressure) is usually, but not always, associated with the optic nerve damage that characterizes glaucoma. This pressure is due to a buildup of a fluid (aqueous humor) that flows in and out of your eye.
This fluid normally exits your eye through a drainage system at the angle where the iris and the cornea meet. When the drainage system doesn't work properly, the fluid can't filter out of the eye at its normal rate, and pressure builds within your eye.
In primary open-angle glaucoma, the drainage angle formed by the cornea and the iris remains open, but the drainage channels (trabecular meshwork) in the angle are partially blocked, causing the fluid to drain out of the eye too slowly. This causes fluid to back up in your eye, and pressure gradually increases within your eye.
Damage to the optic nerve doesn't cause symptoms or pain, and it happens so slowly that you may lose an extensive amount of vision before you're even aware of a problem. The exact cause of primary open-angle glaucoma remains unknown.
Angle-closure glaucoma, also called closed-angle glaucoma, occurs when the iris bulges forward to narrow or block the drainage angle formed by the cornea and the iris. As a result, fluid can't adequately flow through and exit your eye, and your eye pressure may increase abruptly. Angle-closure glaucoma usually occurs suddenly (acute angle-closure glaucoma), but it can also occur gradually (chronic angle-closure glaucoma).
Some people with an abnormally narrow drainage angle may be at risk of developing angle-closure glaucoma.
If you have a narrow drainage angle, sudden dilation of your pupils may trigger acute angle-closure glaucoma.
In normal-tension glaucoma, your optic nerve becomes damaged. However, your eye pressure remains within the normal range. Doctors don't understand why this occurs. You may have a sensitive optic nerve, or you may have less blood being supplied to your optic nerve. This lack of blood supply could be caused by atherosclerosis — an accumulation of fatty deposits (plaques) in the arteries — or another condition limiting your blood circulation.
Some infants or children may be diagnosed with glaucoma. Rarely, some children may be born with glaucoma (congenital glaucoma), develop glaucoma in the first few years of life (infantile glaucoma) or develop glaucoma after age 4 or 5 (juvenile glaucoma). Children usually won't have any symptoms. However, they have optic nerve damage, which may be caused by angle blockages or malformations (primary infantile glaucoma), or it could develop as the result of other conditions (secondary glaucoma).
In pigmentary glaucoma, pigment granules from your iris build up in the drainage channels (trabecular meshwork), slowing or blocking fluid exiting your eye. Physical activities, such as jogging, sometimes stir up the pigment granules, depositing them on the trabecular meshwork and causing intermittent pressure elevations.
Because chronic forms of glaucoma can destroy vision before any signs or symptoms are apparent, be aware of these factors:
If left untreated, glaucoma will cause progressive vision loss, normally in these stages:
In most cases, glaucoma doesn't cause any noticeable symptoms until the disease has caused permanent damage. Ask your primary care doctor how often you should see an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) for a comprehensive eye exam and follow that schedule.
If you have any new eye symptoms or vision problems, make an appointment with your ophthalmologist or ask your doctor for a referral.
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
Below are some basic questions to ask your doctor. If any additional questions occur to you during your visit, don't hesitate to ask.
A doctor who sees you for possible glaucoma is likely to ask you a number of questions, including:
Your doctor will review your medical history and conduct a comprehensive eye examination.
Your doctor may perform several tests to diagnose glaucoma, including:
The goal of glaucoma treatment is to lower pressure in your eye (intraocular pressure). To treat your condition, doctors may lower your eye pressure, improve drainage of fluid in your eye or lower the amount of fluid produced in your eye.
Glaucoma can't be cured, and damage caused by the disease can't be reversed, but treatment and regular checkups can prevent vision loss in people with early glaucoma. If vision loss has already occurred, treatment can slow or prevent further vision loss.
Glaucoma treatment often starts with medicated eyedrops. Be sure to use the drops exactly as prescribed. Otherwise, your optic nerve damage could get even worse. If your doctor prescribes more than one type of eyedrop, make sure to ask how long to wait between applications and to take the drops for as long as your doctor has prescribed them.
Because some of the eyedrops are absorbed into your bloodstream, you may experience some side effects unrelated to your eyes. To minimize this absorption, close your eyes for one to two minutes after putting the drops in. Press lightly at the corner of your eye near your nose to close the tear duct for one or two minutes, and wipe off any unused drops from your eyelid.
Most commonly prescribed eyedrops include:
If eyedrops alone don't bring your eye pressure down to the desired level, your doctor may also prescribe an oral medication, usually in the form of a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, to reduce your eye pressure. This medication may cause side effects including frequent urination, a tingling sensation in the fingers and toes, depression, stomach upset, and kidney stones.
Research to evaluate the effectiveness of medications and other glaucoma treatments and study potential new treatments for people with glaucoma is ongoing. Ongoing clinical trials are evaluating certain drugs that may help protect the optic nerve from damage associated with glaucoma.
You may need surgery to treat glaucoma if you can't tolerate medications or if they're ineffective. Sometimes a single surgical procedure may not effectively lower your eye pressure. You may need to continue using eyedrops, or you may need another procedure.
Possible complications from glaucoma surgery include infection, inflammation, bleeding, abnormally high or low eye pressure, and loss of vision. Having eye surgery also may speed up the development of cataracts. Most of these complications can be effectively treated.
Surgeries that may be performed to treat glaucoma include:
Laser surgery. You may have an outpatient procedure called laser trabeculoplasty (truh-BEK-u-low-plas-tee) to treat open-angle glaucoma. After giving you a numbing eyedrop, your doctor uses a high-energy laser beam to open clogged drainage canals and help fluid drain more easily from your eye.
Your doctor will need to check your eye pressure several times in the following weeks. It may take a few weeks before the full effect of the surgery becomes apparent.
Laser surgery for glaucoma initially lowers pressure in your eye (intraocular pressure). Over time, however, the intraocular pressure may begin to increase.
This procedure is performed in a hospital or an outpatient surgery center. You'll receive a medication to help you relax and usually an injection of anesthetic to numb your eye. Using small instruments under an operating microscope, your surgeon creates an opening in the sclera — the white of your eye — and removes a small piece of eye tissue at the base of your cornea through which fluid drains from your eye (the trabecular meshwork). The fluid in your eye can now freely leave the eye through this opening. As a result, your eye pressure will be lowered.
Your surgery will be performed on one eye. If necessary, several weeks later you might have surgery on the other eye. You may need additional procedures or treatments, as the opening sometimes heals over or other changes occur in your optic nerve.
Your doctor will check your eye during several follow-up visits, and you'll need to use antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eyedrops to fight infection and scarring of the newly created drainage opening.
Another procedure performed within the eye removes a targeted strip of the trabecular meshwork with a small tool. Your surgeon inserts the tool into the eye's drainage canal through a small incision at the edge of the cornea and removes the small section of trabecular meshwork. This helps fluid drain more easily from your eye.
In trabeculectomy and drainage implants, the fluid is directed to a blister (bleb) on the outer layer of your eyeball where it can be absorbed.
Acute angle-closure glaucoma is a medical emergency. When you're diagnosed with this condition, you'll need urgent treatment to reduce the pressure in your eye. This generally will require both medication and procedures.
You may have a procedure called a laser peripheral iridotomy. In iridotomy, doctors create a small hole in your iris using a laser so that fluid (aqueous humor) can flow through it and exit your eye. Doctors will evaluate your other eye and may recommend an iridotomy in it, because of the high risk that its drainage angle also will close in the future.
If you have elevated intraocular pressure or glaucoma, follow these lifestyle tips.
Some types of alternative medicine may help your overall health, but these won't treat or prevent glaucoma.
Some forms of alternative medicine that some people may participate in or use include:
Herbal remedies. Don't depend on herbal remedies for the primary care of glaucoma. A number of herbal supplements, such as bilberry, are advertised as glaucoma remedies, but have not been proved effective in preventing or treating glaucoma.
Herbal supplements should never be used in place of proven therapies, and you should always discuss them with your doctor before trying them.
Because glaucoma has no cure, a diagnosis generally means lifelong treatment and regular checkups.
Meeting and talking to other people with glaucoma can be very helpful, and many support groups exist. Check with hospitals and eye care centers in your area to find local groups and meeting times. Several online resources, including support groups, are available.

Brad Yewer named named Most Outstanding Track Performer
Saturday, February 22, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 22, 2003) - East Tennessee State sophomore Brad Yewer (Newbury, England) won three Southern Conference titles and was awarded with the Most Outstanding Track Performer, as the Buccaneer men's and women's teams finished fifth overall in the 2003 SoCon Indoor Track and Field Championships. Yewer, who won the 3000-meters and finished second in the distance medley relay on Friday, captured the mile and 5000-meter crowns today. In the mile run Yewer fought off Chattanooga's Colin Sullivan, to win his second title, finishing the race with a time of 4:14.36. In the 5000-meters Yewer waited patiently to make his move and in the final laps he pulled ahead of the pack and was able to hold off Chattanooga's Steven Kocsis -- to win his third conference title -- in the time of 15:04.83. "I took every race like it was my last," said Yewer. "I wanted to win the mile bad and in the 5000 I sat in and made sure that I was in position down the stretch." "This is everything, but winning only means that everyone will be out to get you." Yewer said. "Now I have to continue to work hard to improve on my times for outdoor." "Brad was so disappointed last year, he reached for it, but it wasn't there," said Buccaneer head coach Dave Walker. "This year he had it, he was ready and he was outstanding." Freshman Peter Dalton (Dublin, Ireland) also had a good showing in the 5000-meters with a fifth place finish and the defending SoCon indoor 5000-meter champion, James Grufferty (Glanmire, Ireland), placed eighth. In the finals of the 55-meter hurdles, junior Kaylin Chesney (Knoxville, Tenn.) won his heat, but came up short, finishing fourth with a time of 8.00. "We didn't score big where we needed to," said Walker. "I thought we might have a chance at fourth on the men's side, but we were outnumbered overall." On the women's side sophomore Chantelle Vernon (Markham, Ontario) placed third in the 55-meter dash behind Georgia Southern's Rashedah Arnold and Appalachian's Jennifer Claud. In the women's triple jump, ETSU's Kristin Truman (Johnson City, Tenn.) advanced into the finals and finished sixth, with a jump of 11.27 meters. In the women's 4 x 400 meter relay, the Buccaneer women place fourth. "We felt that if we had a great meet that we could sneak into fourth," Buccaneer assistant Michelle Byrne said. "We need to keep improving and bring in some added talent to bolster our numbers." "We did some good things today, I felt like Kristin [Truman] making the finals was a great accomplishment and Tiffany Collier (Atlanta, Ga.) ran a great leg in the 4 x 400 meter relay," said Byrne "We aren't at full strength right now and if we stay committed then we can be much better during the outdoor season." Appalachian State swept the meet winning the men and women's championships. The Mountaineers totaled 186 points, to win their 13th title, followed by Western Carolina who scored 118.5. The Appalachian women scored 186.5 points to win their 10th title, followed by Chattanooga who scored 158.5. The Buccaneers will open up the outdoor season on March 1 at Virginia Tech.

18 April 2011
Posted in Green Building Project
The first nationally celebrated Earth Day was held in 1970 and next Saturday, April 23rd, we will continue the tradition of recognizing how humans play an important role in the future of our habitat, the Earth. The Orlando Science Center will be celebrating Earth Day looking at how science can help us to conserve energy and protect our environment.
In honor of Earth Day, I thought it would be appropriate to take a look at something very small which has had a big impact on our environment in the last few years: bottled water.
Bottled water can cost anywhere from 1 to 6 cents per ounce, but tap water costs about 5 cents per gallon. Interestingly enough, many bottling companies get their water from the same place we central Floridians do, the Florida Aquifer. So, what's the difference between the tap water and bottled water? A bottle.
Some non-Florida natives, like me, will say there is quite a difference and it comes in the form of smell. Florida's aquifers naturally filter the water so that it is amazingly clean even before it is pumped out. But there are sulfurous mineral deposits which give natural springs a distinctive smell. However OUC, the company which provides water to most of Orlando, has a process specifically designed to remove this sulfur smell by using ozone. Even if there is a little smell left over, it can be easily taken care of with a faucet-attached water filter. This makes it very easy to grab a reusable water bottle and fill it before leaving the house.
So, that leaves us with a plastic bottle. Plastic will takes hundreds of years to biodegrade but can be recycled. However, even Zephyrhills notes on its packaging that less than 25% of water bottles get recycled. To do our part, the Science Center provides green colored bins outside of each elevator just for recycling.
This Saturday, come celebrate Earth Day with us and learn more about how to reduce, reuse and recycle. And if you're interested in learning more about bottled water in Florida, check out the original article in the Orlando Sentinel titled "Water Everywhere: Which is for You?" by Kevin Spear.
Stephanie is a Science Interpreter at the Science Center and often is found in Dino Digs or Careers for Life. Paleontology, Anthropology and Anatomy are her passion and jumps at every opportunity to talk about it. Stop in and say Hello!

It may not sound like much for a driver who has a record 68 pole positions to his name, but fourth on the grid for Sunday's Qantas Australian Formula One Grand Prix was a significant breakthrough for seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher.
While Schumacher couldn't live with the pace of McLaren duo Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button in the final top 10 shootout for pole, his second-row starting position was his best effort in qualifying since his comeback to the sport in 2010.
What's more, the 43-year-old qualified ahead of Nico Rosberg, his teammate and younger compatriot who had a decisive 16-3 edge in their intra-team Saturday battle last year.
"I am certainly happy with our performance, which is a huge step forward considering where we were in qualifying here last year," Schumacher said.
"I can only thank the guys for all of the hard work that they have achieved over the winter."
While Rosberg was disappointed after making a mistake on his final lap and finishing seventh, three-tenths of a second behind his teammate, the 26-year-old was confident of a strong showing on Sunday at a track where he finished on the podium for Williams in 2008.
"We are happy to see that we have obviously improved the car over the winter," Rosberg said.
"It seems that we can be strong in the race as well from what we learned during practice this weekend. I didn't get the most out of (the car) today, (and) I also made a small mistake on my last lap which cost me some time.
"Seventh place is still a good position, and I will be doing my best to move forward tomorrow."

And last but certainly not least, 2009 was the year in which North Carolina passed the Racial Justice Act. The RJA provides that:
No person shall be subject to or given a sentence of death or shall be executed pursuant to any judgment that was sought or obtained on the basis of race.
One would have hoped that it wouldn't have taken us until 2009 to get this far, but North Carolina has the most comprehensive law in the country aimed at eliminating racial prejudice from the administration of capital punishment, and for that we are thankful.
Onward to 2010.

1. C.J. Mosley 2. Kelvin Benjamin 2. Ju'Waun James 4. De'Anthony Thomas 5. Xavier Grimble 6. Brandon Linder 7. Nevin Lawson
you cant judge a rookie in his first year. Peyton Manning didnt do so well his 1st year...i believe the Colts were 3-13.
Jake Long, sorry to say...needs to be cut, and put Martin at LT (his natural position). Then, sign a Sebastian Vollmer.
"Mr. Elliott, what you've just said ... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul..."
Sorry, couldn't resist
But seriously, nice effort, you certainly did your homework. I just don't agree with anything you said. But hey, what do i know..
Now that.........is a worthless post if there ever was one.
I disagree because his performance on the left side according to PFF was awful and a disaster, but at least the post dealt with an actual player and issue.
Why not actually comment on something and tell us what you think should be done; just please don't say spend 25 mil in cap on Wallace(who is ranked near the bottom of FA WR's available) and Jennings who wants money like Fitz but ranks below Hartline in actual effectiveness.
As far as a stopgap LT I don't see a better solution, do you ?????????????????????????????
Jake Long is gone, get over it.

Title: coma-geddon - part 2
Date: October 20, 2006
Summary: The evil robots from the future show up for organ harvesting
Cast: Beaver, Steve, Evil Robot From The Future
Onomatopoeias used: "GRRR!", "CRUNNNCH!", "SQUEEZE"
Number of panels: 9
Panel 1
Beaver: "So what else has happened while I've been in a coma?"
Steve: "The Earth was enslaved by a race of Sentient Evil Mutant Space Potatoes!"
The image of an evil mutant space potato appears with a GRRR!
Steve's beard is a long grey chin curtain.
Panel 2
Beaver: "OH NO!"
Steve: "Oh don't worry, they're long gone now."
Steve's beard is now a moustache.
Panel 3
Beaver: ""Phew! You had me worried there!"
Steve: "Yes, once the Infinitely More Cruel Evil Robots From The Future took over they soon got rid of the potatoes..."
Steve's beard is now a brown petite goatie.
Panel 4
With a CRUNNNCH! an Evil Robot From The Future comes through the wall.
Evil Robot From the Future: "Puny flesh creatures! This is a routine organ harvest! Remain calm. Do not attempt to stimulate your primitive adrenal glands."
Panel 5
Steve: "Oh no! What do we do Future Steve?"
Beaver: "Don't worry Beaver, I'll handle it! Just hold on to this future-receptacle"
Steve, now sporting a short boxed beard, hands Beaver a future receptacle.
Beaver: "That's a cooler box"
Steve: "A future cooler box!"
Panel 6
Evil Robot From the Future: "So feeble organic lifeform, do you have any organs to harvest?"
Steve opens up his body to show his organs has been replaced by clockwork.
Steve: "Not me, I've gone clockwork. You might want to check the beaver though"
Steve's beard is now a Napoleon III imperial, or perhaps a fu manchu.
Panel 7
Evil Robot From the Future: "What about you, puny... Saaay... What's in that future receptacle?"
Beaver: "Um.."
Panel 8
The Evil Robot From the Future opens the future receptacle.
Evil Robot From the Future: "LIVERS! So you're the organ smuggler we've been looking for!"
Panel 9
Evil Robot From the Future: "Do you know how many starving evil robots this much liver juice could have lubricated? Your filthy organic greed is overloading my disgust circuits!"
Steve: "For shame!"
Evil Robot From the Future: "Take him to the detention centre to await pulverization!"
Steve's beard is now a what appears to be an anchor.
Fun Facts
- The futuristic nanotechnology allows Steve's facial hair to reconfigure automatically according to his moods.
- Steve, having given Beaver the future-receptacle, is probably the organ smuggler.
- The Evil Robot may be the same kind that troubled Beaver and Steve in Comic 133.
