Interpretive Handbook
8118 :
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Various bacteria produce a class of enzymes called beta-lactamases, which may be mediated by genes on plasmids or chromosomes. Production of beta-lactamase may be constitutive or induced by exposure to antimicrobials. Beta-lactamases hydrolyze (and thereby inactivate) the beta-lactam rings of a variety of susceptible penicillins and cephalosporins. Beta-lactamases are classified by their preferred antimicrobial substrate and the effect of various inhibitors (such as clavulanic acid) on them.
Some antimicrobials, such as cefazolin and cloxacillin are resistant to such hydrolysis (at least for staphylococcal beta-lactamases).
Beta-lactamase producing strains of the following are resistant to many types of penicillin: Staphylococcus species, Hemophilus influenzae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Bacteroides species, Enterococcus species, and Moraxella catarrhalis.
The above organisms, when isolated from critical specimens such as blood or spinal fluid, should always be tested for beta-lactamase production.
Addition of a beta-lactamase inhibitor to a beta-lactam (such as sulbactam plus ampicillin) restores the activity of the antimicrobials.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Predicting the resistance of beta-lactamase producing isolates to hydrolysis-susceptible beta-lactam antimicrobials
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive test indicates production of beta-lactamase.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Some beta-lactamase tests (iodometric and acidometric methods) may not detect certain beta-lactamases.
Many bacteria that do not produce beta-lactamase will be resistant to beta-lactams by other mechanisms.
This test should not be used to detect extended-spectrum beta-lactamases.
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.
Negative (reported as positive or negative)
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Operating Permits
Operating permits are legally enforceable documents that permitting authorities issue to air pollution sources after the source has begun to operate. This Web site discusses the kind of operating permit (called a title V operating permit) that most large sources and some smaller sources of air pollution are required to obtain. This requirement comes from Title V of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990.
Most title V permits are issued by State and local permitting authorities. These permits are often called part 70 permits because the regulations that establish minimum standards for State permit programs are found in the Code of Federal Regulations at 40 CFR part 70. However, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also issues title V permits to sources in Indian country and in other situations, as needed. EPA-issued permits are called part 71 permits.

A tradition in the Hanover community!
A tradition in the Hanover community!
It all began with Jesse's Steaks, Seafood and Tavern. In July of 1976, Marc and Patty Milowsky, along with four other partners, founded a log cabin dinner house. A year later, the four other partners sold their interests and the Milowskys became the sole owners.
The original restaurant consisted of 86 seats, a 40 seat bar area, and an atmosphere reminiscent of the Victorian Old West. In 1981, Marc and Patty added a custom greenhouse to the building, which seamlessly connected to the main dining room. In 1990, Jesse's expanded again with the addition of the Adirondack Lodge and Deck. And in 2008, a new brick patio in front of the restaurant added a charming outdoor dining space.
Jesse's serves hand cut steaks, seafood, prime rib, juicy burgers, flatbreads, sandwiches and much more. It is well known in the area for having the best all you can eat salad bar and freshly baked Sequoia bread. Jesse's is open for dinner seven nights a week beginning at 4:30 and Sunday brunch at 10:30.
The next chapter started in 1983. The Milowskys took over the Town and Country Dress Shop in downtown Hanover, converted it into a 130-seat restaurant and bar and named it Molly's Balloon. Molly's is a popular gathering place, a favorite of Dartmouth students and locals alike. In 1998, with the help of Morris Nathanson Designs, the Milowskys gave Molly's a complete facelift, adding about twenty five more seats inside and a fifty seat outdoor patio. Molly's Restaurant and Bar is all grown up; a timeless college bar, complete with walls of Ivy League memorabilia, local sports photos and artifacts. The Milowsky's vision of making Molly's the unofficial Hanover Historical Museum and a great place to eat has come to life.
At Molly's, guests enjoy thin crust pizzas and entrees cooked in a wood-fired brick oven, pasta dishes, the best burgers in the Upper Valley, fresh salads, wonderful finger food and appetizers, and homemade desserts. Molly's is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week. Molly's Restaurant
With two successful restaurants under their belt, the Milowsky's decided it was time to put them under one umbrella. And so, The Blue Sky Restaurant Group was founded. Why Blue Sky? Why not!!
Marc Milowsky, President of the Blue Sky Restaurant Group was honored by the New Hampshire Lodging and Restaurant Association as Restaurantuer of the Year in 1995.
In 2007, the Blue Sky Restaurant Group was recognized by the National Lodging and Restaurant Association, the New Hampshire Lodging and Restaurant Association, and the American Express Company with the Good Neighbor Award, to honor New Hampshire Restaurants that have given outreach and support to better their communities.
In 2007 the Owners of the Blue Sky Restaurant Group, Marc and Patty Milowsky were awarded the "Heart of the Prouty" award for their work and years of service to the Norris Cotton Cancer Center.
In 2008, Molly's Restaurant & Bar won the New Hampshire Magazine award for the Best Restaurant in the Upper Valley/Lake Sunapee Region.
The Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce recognized the Blue Sky Restaurant Group with the Innovators of the Year award in 2008.
In 2009 the Owners of the Blue Sky Restaurant Group, Marc and Patty Milowsky were awarded the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center Community Ambassador of the Year Award.
Jesse's was honored by NH Magazine as The 2010 Favorite Restaurant in the
Dartmouth/Lake Sunapee Region.
Jesse's was honored by NH Magazine as The 2011 Favorite Restaurant in the
Dartmouth/Lake Sunapee Region.
2013, Molly's Chef Justin Hoyt was named the Grand Champion of the third annual NH State Dairy Promotion Board Mac & Cheese Bake Off. Molly's Restaurant won Champion in the Best Restaurant Category.
2013, Jesse's was awarded the Best Brunch in the Upper Valley, by the Valley Business
Journals Readers Poll!

Man is the subject of all major religions. Why?
Certainly man is unique. But so are any other creature in their own way. Are we blindsided by our domination of nature or are humans really the culmination of creation?
Is there merit to the belief that the universe was created for man? After all almost everyone acts like it is.
Frank Booth
Mar 7 2013: One day in the garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God, Lord, I have a problem.
- +2
What's the problem, Eve.
Lord, I am lonely and I'm sick to death of these apples.
Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution, I shall create a man for you.
What's a man, Lord?
This man will be a flawed creature with many bad habits. He'll lie, cheat and be vain; all in all, he'll give you a hard time, but he'll be bigger, faster and will like to hunt and kill things. He will look silly when he's aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be too smart, so he'll also need your advice to think properly.
Sounds great, says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow. What's the catch, Lord?
Well, you can have him with one condition.
What's that Lord?
As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant and self admiring, so you'll have to let him believe that I made him first. Just remember, it's our little secrete.
You know, Woman to woman.
Mar 18 2013: I like the story.. I meant my question gender neutral though.
pat gilbert
Mar 6 2013: I contend that man has a unique spiritual element. Man creates his universe not the other way around.
- +2
Mar 6 2013: Could you expand pat?
Do you mean our beliefs and perception effectively shape the universe
Mar 6 2013: What is not created by a decision?
Mar 6 2013: Sorry I'm still lost. ObMar 7 2013: The OP stated that the universe was created for man. My contention is that man creates the universe. If man did not exist this planet would not look as it does.
Sure many contend that man is committing a transgression by existing and should practice some sort of self abnegation. My contention is the opposite and that life is not a zero sum game.
Mar 8 2013: Got it. Thanks Pat. obMar 5 2013: They are to show man The right way.
But I agree that humans think they own the world and that is not good one bit. They. Should respect the worldMar 5 2013: Is there merit to the belief that humans invented religion in part to help explain the universe.
Mar 5 2013: Yes Obey, I believe that theory does indeed have merit:>)
Mar 6 2013: Thanks Colleen. It's funny how a lot of claims make more sense if you examine the starting premises and turn them around.
Seems just as likely man made god concepts in his image rather than the other way around. I note more evidence for human existence than any particular god.
Mar 7 2013: Obey,
It's funny, interesting, educational, insightful, etc., when certain claims are examined AT ALL....beginning with any premise.....yes? I also observe more evidence for human existence than any particular god, and I perceive evidence that humans are sometimes "blindsided by our domination of nature", as Brian suggests in the introduction to this discussion.
I observe an incredible balance in nature, and it often appears that human attempt to dominate nature simply causes challenges for the overall balance. I think/feel it would benefit humankind, if we recognize the importance of the interconnectedness of the whole, rather than behaving as if the universe was created just for humans. I believe the universe evolves more efficiently when it is in balance:>)Mar 9 2013: Can you see in the absence of light?

Mar 6 2013: I had a teacher (male) who had a strange theory. He used to say that women are almost an entirely different species. When I asked him why he thought so, he explained that they think and act fundamentally differently to situations compared to men. He also believed that they are way ahead in conflict resolution, management skills and generally keeping societies functional.
Over time, I have come to accept his views to a fair extent. It is a pity that myths, stories and even languages are gender asymmetric and that should change. So Eve and rest of you women should stay and keep reminding everyone how essential you are in any discourse.Mar 5 2013: Why assume the universe was created?
I agree, even if it was, there is no evidence that it was created for humans. Actually it is almost rationally absurd to assume this now we know how big and old it is. It's been around 13 Billion years being homo sapiens existed.
However it is understandable why primitive humans might jump to this conclusion, and perhaps to some extent modern humans. Perhaps Its in our nature to assume the universe is all about us. After all we all experience it via our own human consciousness, we are the smartest animal on this planet, our lives are all about us.
However, it does not follow logically that the universe exists just for us.
My understanding is we don't know if there is some purpose or intent about the universe. So it is up to us to define purpose in our own lives, and sometimes this mistakenly assumes it is all about us.
There are more stars and black holes than humans. It might be argued equally the universe exists so that stars and black holes exist, given we have no idea really.
Mar 6 2013: OH i like that idea it made me think of another reason why religion is illogical why would a universe created for us have made us 4.5 Billion years into its existence and for us to assume that a higher being o aka god would come to us so early into our lives to where we were just raging idol praising apes is absurd if any religion were true then this higher being (which already know how we react and think to things) would come back now so he can prove those extremely unreliable manipulated books are indeed true it's kinda like big foot he only comes out when there is no way to prove it for sure
Also you replied to my comment with what i believe was some sarcasm my good sire :P
Mar 6 2013: I was agreeing you.
Pleasure and pain sensations may be similar to animals.
The physical causes of these sensations may be similar in some cases like sex or eating.
But the intellectual processes that may lead to pleasure or pain are often far more complex in humans.
Not all, for example feeling part of a group not under threat is pleasurable for many mammals I assume.Mar 5 2013: Brian, I do not know anyone who speaks fluent grasshopper, butterfly, or pig ... until we can communicate with other life forms ... we can only assume that you are correct.
Until then .... I have a thumb ....
I wish you well. Bob.
Mar 6 2013: I agree we don't know what plants and animals consciously experience.
Although I would be surprised if grass is having more religious thoughts than a grasshopper, given one has a brain.
So far not much evidence for minds without a brain. religion seems to require a brain, although how well that brain is being used is debatable.
And perhaps we know enough already about grasshopper brains to rule out religious experience.Mar 6 2013: You know you have been on TED too long when you are discussing the religion of grasshoppers without blinking.
Mar 6 2013: Dear Obey....I'd give you a hundred thumbs for that one if I could....I cannot stop laughing!!!
Mar 8 2013: It was a moment of clarity. "Did I really comment about that?"Mar 9 2013: You did indeed comment about that Obey...unless someone stole your identity! LOL:>)Mar 5 2013: Dear Brian,
Why is man the subject of all major religions?
Because man wrote the books. Do you honestly think he would write the stories and leave himself out?
Mar 5 2013: Dear Colleen, I think 'Man' here is not gender critical. I by no means think you want to mean that either. But it may interest you that masculinity and feminism are built deep into Hindu spirituality where Nature is called Prakriti which is essentially female in sense attributed with feminine qualities like bearing fruits and progenies, tenacious, beautiful and pristine and the Physical forces are called Purusha which is essentially male in sense with qualities like potency, force, creation and destruction.
Women had a special place in Indic religions until a sage named Manu screwed things up by relegating women to beds and kitchens.

Mar 5 2013: Sorry for the plight. When you come next, I shall be your guide! :)
This may interest you.
"Woman is to make her body beautiful by adorning it with clothes and ornaments; that the man may be attracted by her. Woman is to be so worshipped that she be made a fitting decoration for the man's bedroom." A classic male chauvinistic pig, IMO.Mar 5 2013: Dear Pabitra,
I'm simply answering the question as stated, and I believe there is some truth in what I wrote.
Hindu spirituality began before religious texts were written by men....did it not? Perhaps that is why
masculinity, feminism, and nature were balanced? It sounds like there was somewhat of a balance before Manu "screwed things up", to use your words?
Mar 5 2013: Yep. You got it. Females had the same position, if not higher, as men in war, scholarship and worship. Most Indic cultures were matriarchal. Some still are.Mar 5 2013: :>)
Mar 5 2013: Is there a sign for tipping the hat? :) That's a great smile my friend.Mar 5 2013: Isn't god the topic of all religions?
Mar 8 2013: NoMar 9 2013: I think humans were given all that is needed (lifespan, resources, body, knowledge, etc) for them to perform the roles they were assigned.
Humans (and all other creatures and objects) are also assigned different amounts of power or authority. I don't know about other creatures, but many humans abuse this power. Sometimes they have to deal with the consequences (and pay the price or reap what was sown) right away, sometimes later.
Many humans may neglect their role(s), may deny the knowledge (in the Book(s)), or may misuse the resources they were given, but no one (human or other) misses (or escapes) an assigned point for each (and all) of them when it is no longer possible for them to personally change their "resume".
There are assigned laws which ensure keeping (and restoration of) balance of life of all objects and creatures in the universe and of the universe itself. Many laws are mandatory, but it is optional for humans whether to enforce some of them or not. Again, the consequences must be dealt with right away or later.
That is what I think according to what I know (so far), which is very little. (Also, I'm fully committed to my beliefs, especially my religious beliefs.)Mar 7 2013: I believe that it is not that the universe was created for man, but that we are co-creators. We are the smallest/slowest self reflecting entity. We are created in gods image because god/universe did not have an image before man.
Gail .
Mar 6 2013: Such is the consequence of the Abrahamic religions.Mar 6 2013: yes I understand that but we are still feeling exactly what animals are feeling but we feel it for drastic different reasons and also humans DO get the feeling of safety in a herd/group ever walk into a forest late at night with no flashlight and nobody else? haha probably not humans naturally feel safer in numbers and it does trace back to herd mentalityMar 5 2013: well for one it's Because man was the first one to get a bigger brain and one thing that has been proven over an over again is that man is not satisfied with simply saying "i dunno" so we put god in place of the unknown just like every religion has always done for all timeMar 5 2013: Religion is a distinctly human construct for initiating group interaction with a perceived spiritual being. Are you asking why Dogs, for example, have not developed their own churches? Doesn't the fact that Man alone engages in worship answer your question about his position at the top of the biological ladder?
- 0
Mar 5 2013: Religion can be explained as a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe.
So since man is not alone in this universe I wonder why are all the religions centered on mankind? I realize animals don't have the mental capacities as us but that doesn' make them any less part of creation, nature, or purpose.
And if as you say religion is distinctly human construct doesn't that imply it's man made? If it is man made what is so spiritual about it?
Mar 5 2013: A definition of religion must include the concept of some creator/controller spirit being(s). Yours does not. Your definition fits Science quite well. Do you consider Science a Religion?
I have no comment about all religions being "centered on mankind"except to say it is almost certainly not true. Just for one example I think Hinduism elevates some animals to godlike objects of worship. That does not seem to be man-centered to me.
The phrase "human construct" does not merely imply something is man-made, it insists upon it.
Your last question is convoluted. Why not ask, "If Art is a human construct what is so arty about it?". Or, "If Agriculture is a human construct what is so agricultural about it?".
Mar 6 2013: For a generalized definition, I recognize religion as a way humans answer the big questions. Why are we here, what purpose is there in life, how did it all begin? Since religion has no way of proving answers besides supposed prophets, old texts, or a nice story; there is faith. Science may be subject to the limitations of humans but at least its not just taking someones word for it. So yes science could be a religion.
Look at the Abrahamic religions, estimated half the world's population are followers. So half of the world's population believes the arrogant stance that humans are special in this universe. I believe this is very culturally significant.Mar 6 2013: That's a pretty broad definition of religion Brian. Suggest its missing some key elements that would down the field.
You say religion has no way of proving many of its claims, but science does.
I agree some religious views reinforce how special we are. A personal relationship with the creator of the universe seems kind of optimistic. Its hard to see your own mp.Mar 6 2013: ObeyNo1,
Science is refutable. Religous faith does not require verification.
Religion is kind of silly because anyone could make a religion. If I wanted to worship comic book superheros as gods or say I have a strong affinity to trees who's to say I don't have religion.
What is mp?Mar 8 2013: Brian, the sentence is a typo and I can not recall the final point I was trying to make. Must have been too busy discussing grasshopper religions above. I hate typing on a tablet.
I think even most theists agree religions are essentially man made. Just they believe theirs is divinely inspired. Paul was a driving force behind the spread and formulation of Christianity as something more than a messianic apocalyptic Jewish subgroup.
In fact most contemporary religions were started by men. A couple by women e.g. Christian Science and perhaps Hinduism. Scientology is one of the most obviously fabricated in my opinion.
Funny how we generally look for sufficient evidence in most spheres of life when trying to understand things, except religion. Although I guess people may build a rationale about how their beliefs are supported because of subjective personal experiences and all the apologetics, creation "science", cognitive bias etc.
After all, the existence of the universe is proof of god right?
And the bible saying Jesus resurrected is sufficient proof it happened?
It's not like the people writing the scriptures would or could invent things?
If you accept a man came back from the dead then automatically everything else in the bible about it is true, right? The biblical interpretation must be correct, its not like it would be just another mystery.
If Jesus resurrected then god must exist? Jesus must be god? Everything Jesus is attributed to have said is true. All the letters following his death must be 100% correct?
No other possibilities should be considered including we don't know? Right?
No need for Jesus to actually write down his thoughts while he was alive. No need to have other compelling historical evidence of any of the stories, even the zombie saints walking about didn't need a mention in other contemporary sources?
If the bible or the quran says so then it must be true - although I guess I have to pick one. Maybe the Jews were right?Mar 5 2013: @ Charles Curt RE: " I don't even know why. . . "
It was a misunderstanding. I thought the guy was conducting a serious conversation. My bad. As to your comment, isn't the corporate/social/political aspect an intrinsic part of religion? A euphoric dog does not look for others to join in the "worship" and then give the group a name, and establish a doctrinal statement, and apply for tax exemption as a church.Mar 5 2013: How do you know what a dog finds spiritual or not.
Have you ever seen a dog rolling in the grass...seems spiritual to me
Mar 5 2013: Is that your response to the points I offered? I've had dogs all my life and have yet to see a bunch of them form a denomination and take-up collections of dogbones for the clergy hounds. Surely you are not serious about this question?
Mar 5 2013: I don't even know why you responded to him about that haha but think about it its actually not a bad thought what is the difference between human enjoyment of religion different from a dog loving his master? or a cat addicted to cat nip? is it possibly the same core or base feelings and ideas animals have are the same as humans with religion but FAR less complex??Mar 6 2013: To Charles, the difference may be the level of complexity.Mar 6 2013: To Charles and Edward.
My only reason for commenting is that there is no reason to anthropomorphize human ways of approaching an idea on to animals. They may have their own processes that we do not and can not understand.
There is too much linear thinking in the world.Mar 6 2013: Perhaps Yes and no gordon.
We have similarities and differences in physiology, perceptions, mind etc I guess.
Depending on the attribute we may be close in some ways e.g hunger, and way down the continuum say for mathematical ability or abstract thought.Mar 5 2013: Man is NOT the subject of many Indic religions. They are not unique in any way compared to other creations, considered average, fallible, confused and clueless about the grand drama. They need help and guidance by divine agents, called Avatars, which are ten in number.
The whole idea is man made of course but made by men who seem to be extremely intelligent. The ten Avatars in Sanatan Dharma (principle Indic religion which scholars believe is the source of Hinduism) follow clear evolutionary suggestions.
The avatars start from aquarian, then becomes amphibian, then lutarious, then arboreal, then biped savage, then biped civilized etc etc. The end is Kalki, which is a machine of destruction. The message is clear and man is not at it's center in any unique way.Mar 5 2013: There are really only two options; 1) We & the universe are a cosmic accident or 2) We are a special creation by a superior being. Of those in the 2) camp, most believe we have some sort of relationship with the superior being which other creatures lack.
I believe we are God's children, & the universe was created for us. That is why we are central to most major religions.
Mar 6 2013: False dichotomy for starters.
Those may be the only 2 explanations you can think of. I can think of others, and the truth might be something none of us have imagined.
E.g. There could have been a committee of creator beings. No reason to assume one.
Why assume a being. Could be some unconscious force.
And then we get into the loop was the superior being a cosmic accident or brute fact or created.
While 1 and 2 are options, we really are looking at this from a position of great ignorance.Mar 5 2013: in buddhism, man is only one of the 6 life forms in samsara.
Kim Laes
Mar 5 2013: I suppose you have to see this in the light of the human evolution. The first signs of religion were found as early as the stone ages. Back than religion was most likely used as a way to explain phenomena we now explain through the use of science. (This is just a theory, though) Besides that, we must also look into the psychology of humans in that age (this is tricky since it is all just speculation). Man has allways felt the need to feel 'safe', this (especially in the old days) resulted in religion because it gave the illusion of safety. The protection of God(s) is a psychological trick of the human mind to create sense, direction to a life in a world that could not be explained.
- 0
As humanity evolved and people actually started to 'investigate' the world around them religion already had taken hold of them. It is a reference that has become so strong that it is part of our most fundamental reference framework. Religion does not only tackle the explanation of events and phenomena but also the moral code, the ethics by which man should live (according to them). This is why religion is so important.
As for man to be the subject of all major religions... I suppose it depends on how you interpret the question. In essence Theodore is right in asking wether God isn't the topic of all religion but at the same time, in most religion God or gods are modelled after humans. We give God human characteristics or a human face because the idea of God as an abstract force is frightening to us. In the christian faith God is frequently given the role of 'father'. This originated in what I have mentioned above: protection. A fatherfigure is a figure of protection. Basically it comes down to this: man wants protection, man wants to belong to something because of that.
The idea that the universe was created for man is simple an exponent of that because in a way the universe could be God's gift to man...

I found a great deal on a DIALARC HF, but before going to buy, I have a few questions:
1. This is for home use and I have a 30A 240V outlet in my garage, I assume this unit will run on that up to a point, any idea how thick I could go in steel or AL before tripping the breaker? Or will it not run at all?
2. Any idea what it weighs?

don't have a SN, but it is a HF-P with the white face and the levers on each side if that helps...
30 amps won't get you very far, actually with the "P" powerfactor connected, at idle your drawing 22 amps, disconnected your drawing 6 amps. We usually disconnect it for the garage guys.
Never the less you have a usable 24 amps with pf disconnected. Which, with say even a minor surge will take out your breaker imediately.
Basically its a 90 amps machine, so you'd need at minimum a 100 amp breaker, and #6 cable running to it.
Some guys get away with a slow blow 50 amp breaker, but really thats NOT the way to proceed.

Science claims the universe is expanding
What evidence does science have, that explains such, said the spider to the fly. :-)
edward long
Apr 2 2013: Who, or what, is "science" in your context? You could mean anyone with an advanced degree in this, or an associated, subject of study. But it seems unlikely that any one individual could speak for all such persons. You could mean certain associations, universities, or government and private research facilities, but, again, it seems unlikely that one organization, or association, could speak for all members of the profession. If I declared, "Medicine says daily aspirin is greatly beneficial and free of harmful effects." I would be wrong because many in the medical profession do not believe that to be true. Your question seems to imply a unanimity in the scientific community. Such is not the case.
- +1
Apr 2 2013: Good thinking and reply Edward. You are correct. Thank you!Apr 16 2013: The problem is that 999/1000 of people dont think for themselves. They just follow the herd..
I would like to see a reply to my previous post from a physicist who disagrees with me (if he can)
Apr 16 2013: I know right, the media makes these claims and the scientists never have to answer for their claims, by people that can think for themselves and confront them with the hard questions. Its the same with lawyers, the courts protect them from their own copy and paste existence, while they call thinkers fools for wanting to represent themselves, with the judges not allowing whatever they don't want.
If people are honest with themselves, they will see that schools never teach the kids or college grads to think for themselves.Apr 15 2013: The hypothesis of Cosmic Expansion stems from the observation of Hubble redshift. The shift is a lowering of expected frequency in the emissions of very distant stars. The hypothesis assumes that distance expands over Time but the rate of passage of time stays constant. This assumption cannot be made. It could equally be that distance remains constant and the rate of time changes. We can only say the ratio of distance to time changes, ie. the speed of light changes. Thus we cannot say that Cosmic Expansion occurs.
Apr 15 2013: That's a big change from what science was claiming. When did that happen and why the change, did science all of a sudden find something other than assumptions? I've been fighting the ignorance of so much assumption, in so many things, like light theory, gravitational lensing and so much more. All this assumption is due strictly to evolution. This ignorance is spreading like wildfire and children are being taught that science and grants can be based on guessing, as long as it favors evolution.
Light breaks up far too easily to make it any distance through space, making gravitational lensing equally impossible. Look to the moon test of light theory. Only single photons made it back and as everything is moving, I think those doing the collecting were using wishful thinking.
How fast is earth moving in two ways and how fast is our galaxy moving?
I am very disappointed in science.
Thanks for your reply Reg.Apr 15 2013: Apologies for coming across so strong, but if you look down this thread, you see these people making claims opposite yours. Most all those that do, believe in evolution. They use one hypothesis to claim another hypothesis is evidence for the first, vice versa and then those for others and others for those.
These people have so much faith that what science says is right, but they refuse to look at the subjects objectively. They are positive and nothing will change their minds.
However, schools don't teach children or college grads how to think for themselves. They simply do as they are told. One would think that brainwashing should be outlawed.Apr 4 2013: I have a question I hope someone can clarify
The galaxy MACS0647-JD is about 13.3 billion light-years away according to red sift measurements
The universe itself is only 13.7 billion years old, so this galaxy was 13.3 billion light-years away when the universe was 400 million years old .
The Big Bang emanated from a singularity so the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light and increasing is this correct ?
Thanks for any replies
Apr 4 2013: By what you write, you believe in evolution. I wouldn't have anything to offer people that are convinced.Apr 4 2013: The Red Shift (i.e. Doppler effect)
If you understand anything about waves and light (and sometimes sound) then you'd understand the claims about the universe expanding
Apr 4 2013: If you can refute what I've written, you should have already done so. If you had a point to make, you would have already made it.
Apr 4 2013: Umm ok,
I don't like to spill all my beans at once but your comments are perplexing. I just gave you one possible way that scientist know that the universe is expanding. It is not simply an assertion, its a fact.
So I can only wonder what answer are you looking for? Should I say that the hand of God is pushing the galaxies farther and farther away from one another? Would that be a sufficient answer for you?
Apr 4 2013: That's why they call it a theory and not a fact. You however claim it to be fact. Try telling someone else.Apr 4 2013: If we accept that the red-shift observed in the light from other galaxies is evidence that those galaxies are receding from us (It's fairly safe to do so as red-shift is used in other areas such as identifying binary stars successfully), then the evidence suggests that almost all observable objects are getting further away. If you have a group of objects that are all getting further away from each other then the group as a whole must be gradually taking up more space ie expanding. The caveat is however that this theory and observation suggests the observable universe is expanding. We can't apply this to things we are as yet unaware of.
They must be fairly confident. They don't name space telescopes after just anybody.
Apr 4 2013: Congress and local governments christen whomever they choose, while they stand in the open taking bribes, to keep their jobs and enrichen themselves, while destroying the moral fabric of this nation. Gosh, they named a telescope after someone. So as andromeda is in blue shift, that means nothing to you?
So tell us, can this telescope see to all that is out there? What if most that science sees is in red shift, what if all not seen is blue shift?
Apr 4 2013: Edwin Hubble. Yes there are some objects moving toward us like Andromeda but there are billions of galaxies moving away from us and they even move away from us in a very predictable manner.
Apr 4 2013: Billions of galaxies and all are moving away? Do tell us what scientist you spoke to and have him/ her come here and prove such. While we're at it, tell us, out of your billions of galaxies traveling in red shift, why is only andromeda the only galaxy in blue shift?
I guess you believe we are all idiots, right?
ThanksApr 4 2013: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2dF_Galaxy_Redshift_Survey
By the way I teach astronomy.Apr 4 2013: "If we accept that the red-shift observed in the light from other galaxies is evidence that those galaxies are receding from us ..."
I have often wondered about this. Considering how little we actually know about intergalactic space, it seems to me that cosmologists are making a big assumption, that the entire red shift is due to the speed of the receding galaxies. To the best of my knowledge, every bit of data regarding the behavior of electromagnetic radiation has been gathered from within the solar system. To me, it seems completely plausible that the red shift could be due (perhaps only in part) to some other natural attribute of intergalactic space which we have no way of being aware of, until we send something out there.
Apr 7 2013: Red shift observations have been used to measure other movements such as relative velocities of binary stars or even the rotational velocity of a single star. As a technique it has proven reliable in several different situations. Even if other unknown factors contribute that wouldn't change the fact that the vast majority of large scale structures are moving away from us.

Everyone my age agrees that the floor gets farther away every year.
Apr 2 2013: Lol, I'm 60 and I fully agree.Apr 2 2013: Hi, Jim. As a science writer (am I remembering this correctly), you probably know where to find the most reliable sources for a question like this.
Here is one link from the Astronomy department at UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles). http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/cosmology_faq.html
I also notice that in the Wikipedia article on Metric Expansion of Space, there is a section called Observational Evidence. At the end of the article, there will be references to sources that should be reliable and in which the material can be verified independently.
We have one young man who has participated sometimes in Conversations who has his doctorate in Astronomy/Cosmology. I hope he arrives with an expert explanation for you!
Apr 2 2013: Thanks Fritzie, I look forward to your friends response. I've read quite a bit about universal expansion, but I like debate, based on another's thoughts, not just the days copy and paste. Copy and paste do play an important Parton starting a debate, but that's all. All some people offer is copy and paste and you know that's not debate. There has always been a flat earth society and there always will be, as you surely know. Even though I've read much about universe expansion, its always been supposition from all I see. I'll read what you offer and thank you. Red shift, blue shift?
Apr 2 2013: Hi, Jim. Not a friend of mine- only someone I have noticed now and then, though he seldom comments on physics questions here.
I thought on a question of fact, like "what is the evidence for," it was as well to start with what scientists themselves have offered.
Apr 2 2013: Fritzie. I see most all scientists as I see most all lawyers. They understand the concept and motions, but only a tiny few can argue from their own perspective. Many can make assumptions, but only a tiny few can offer real debate. The media hypes lawyers and scientists, so that the supermajority dare not question them or if they do, they are seen as fools. Most all lawyers are cubicle smart and the same is true for scientists. They offer nothing from their own minds. I have written many new things never before mentioned, IE;
The science of running by Jim Ryan.
Yes, I used to run 10 miles a day for about 2 years. For whatever reason, I started counting a cadence in my head, that matched the cadence of my footfalls and my breathing, which synced body and mind, helping me to get into a trance like state, allowing me to run mile after mile without stress and the last mile I could run almost flat out.
I know they teach different things today, but give my method a try, I think you'll like it. By the way, keep your eyes focused just in front of you, on the ground.
The cadence in running I used to use was, "one two three one", " one two three two", "one two three three", and keep going.
It's a 4 count breathing in and then a 4 count breathing out.
Happy running.Apr 2 2013: Here's another work of mine.
Testing spin on bacteria
Another thought.
More science by Jim Ryan
Ya know how we get dizzy and sometimes get sick by spinning around, well, do the cells in our bodies spin at the same rate that the earth is spinning and that's why we don't get sick, until we upset that delicate balance, by the least amount of extra spin? The earth is spinning at 1,000 miles per hour.
What if science gave extra spin to more creatures, great and small, even bacteria, would bacteria incorporate something else to deal with the extra spin? Could scientists see any differences under a scope, after spinning?
What could science offer bacteria to deal with the extra spin?
Another thought
I think we've all seen schools of fish swimming in circles, surely that has something to teach about spin.
Are there other entities that move in circles on purpose, besides astronauts and race car drivers?Apr 2 2013: Fritzie, I added more to my spin theory above.Apr 2 2013: My running days are behind me, I fear! And my experience of scientists, given those I know or have read, is very different.from your view. I am accustomed, rather, to a zany playfulness with ideas.
Of course, personalities and dispositions among people in any group will show variety.
Enjoy your investigations!

My Southern Exposure
Near the Gulf Coast, 160 fifth graders from Escatawpa Upper Elementary School (Moss Point, MS) went on a river boat tour of the bayou near their school. Mozart DeDeaux, the naturalist at the Pascagoula River Audubon Center, taught us all about swamps and the animals that are adapted to live in the environment. We saw a huge alligator, snakes, herons, egrets, fish and lots of local plants and trees. We learned about the delicate ecosystem and the importance of the food chain.
I was a very tired bison by the time all of these trips were over, but it all was worth it! I want to do it again and see the kid's smiling faces. They didn't even know they were learning valuable lessons since they were having so much fun!
A huge Buddy Bison thanks to Southern Company Charitable Foundation, Inc., Georgia Power and Mississippi Power for sponsoring these four Buddy Bison schools this year!

Leadoff hitter Jeremy Crum doubled to right-center, then scored on a one-out single by right fielder Bryan Mitzel. ETSU rallied to tie the score in the bottom of the frame as Buccaneer sophomore right fielder Shane Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.) was hit by a pitch with one out, stole second and third then scored on an error. The Bucs (5-6) then blew the game open with nine unanswered runs over the next four innings. ETSU scored two runs in the second on a two-run homer by sophomore third baseman Greg Roberts (Douglas, Ga.) then plated five more runs in the third. The big blows that inning were RBI doubles by senior shortstop Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.), sophomore first baseman Blake Church (Roswell, Ga.) and junior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) and a two-run homer by sophomore second baseman Josiah Glafenhein (Knoxville, Tenn.).

Sophomore righty Jeremy Hall (Gray, Tenn.) earned his second-consecutive victory with a strong 5.2 innings in game one. Hall (2-2) scattered nine hits and struck out seven while allowing just one Chippewa run. "Jeremy seemed to get tougher as the game went along," said ETSU head coach Tony Skole following the game. "He pitched well to get out of some jams today." Jeff Opalewski (0-1) was charged with the loss after allowing seven runs (six earned) on seven hits in two innings of work. Each Buccaneer starter had at least one hit, and seven had multiple hit efforts. Leading the way was Byrne, who went 4-for-5 with three runs scored and two RBIs.

ETSU cut the lead to 5-3 in the bottom of the inning as Howdeshell hit a sacrifice fly to score Byrne. Central Michigan put the game out of reach in the top of the fourth, scoring five more runs to make the score 10-3.

Later in the inning, designated hitter Dan Griesbaum hit a sacrifice fly to drive in Wells. The Bucs chipped two more runs off of the Central Michigan lead in the bottom of the seventh. Howdeshell hit yet another double to score Roberts and Byrne would cross the plate as Church reached on an error. The Chippewas plated their final two runs of the day in the top of the ninth. CMU designated hitter Derek Schnaller tripled to right field to score second baseman David Latour. Catcher Brian Campbell then followed with a single to right field to score Schnaller. Chippewa starter Jayson Ruhlman (1-0) was dominant on the mound, pitching six innings and allowing three runs (none earned) on just two hits and striking out eight. ETSU sophomore lefty Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.) was charged with the loss after allowing 10 runs (eight earned) on nine hits in three innings pitched. Calicutt (1-2) also walked three and struck out four. CMU second baseman Chase Welker led the Chippewas by going 3-for-5, but four other players had two hits in game two.
