Syntho-sis

Please tell me how violence understands anything except the violence used against it. Diplomacy did not work very well then.

 

I can't think of anything that would've allowed a non-violent end to World War II. Now I'm not implying that that means there isn't one, I'm just saying I sure as heck can't figure it out.

If the nations were operating from a rational standpoint (The Axis weren't), then perhaps diplomacy could have achieved everyone's goals. Compromise has ended many wars.

Do you mean Embryo or specifically fetus?

Though not entirely relevant to today's anatomical and physiological knowledge, Gray's anatomy does provide a pretty comprehensive overview of Embryology. I don't know how much he gets into the muscular-skeletal system formation.

Wiki is pretty good as well..

I'll see what else I can locate for you.

Cheers,

And yes, this was an excellent reminder, and I wish I had heeded the warning about not watching the video. I've never seen such...blood everywhere like that.

I've seen some pretty intense gore, living on a farm for a portion of my life, but nothing that extreme. That was pretty disturbing.

Hi,

 

I've been reading about stem cell therapy for stroke with a particular interest in the work being done by University of Pittsburgh neurosurgeon Douglas Kondziolka. He's transplanted neuronal cells to the site of injury in the brains of stroke patients and reported that patients began to improve in both physical and cognitive abilities. I know that this is a vague question, but I've been curious if a similar procedure could be done to patients with MS since they have similar symptoms due to brain lesions. I know on average they have more lesions, but even if all of them were not able to be targeted, it seems as though some hope for repair in severely disabled patients would be worth the chance.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks.

Has he written in any journals? Maybe you could give us a more technical outline?

While the activity he was performing was obviously unsafe, my point is something like this can happen to anyone, anytime.

Can but it doesn't. Most of us won't die glorious, awesome deaths like that. Most of us will live incredibly boring lives and then die watching Marx brothers tapes and sucking on a prune.

Fight club was such a good movie.

Making claims and not supporting them... I can see why you're a fan of Fox! </facetious>

Wow. Maybe you need to go use a dictionary on occasion, so you can look up the difference between the words claim and suggestion. Because you obviously have them confused.

I'm a skeptic bascule..of everything. Do you seriously think I believe the crap that Fox funnels down the throats of America? Well if you do, you're a moron. On the other hand. Do you seriously think I accept half the things people say on here? No, I don't. Not unless they can present unbiased, empirical evidence.

I come to discuss, not debate.

So quit cramping my style and GO BACK AND READ WHAT I SAID:

Here I'll post it for you:

Well from what I heard (Yes I heard it on Fox) Fox had been onto ACORN months before any of the other organizations had been. They knew ACORN was dirty. I don't know if there's any truth to that though. And I don't feel like digging through Fox's archives to verify it.

I'm not trying to influence anybody, just didn't wanna leave any stones unturned. My will is good mon.

Cheers,

Could you please begin adding some seriousness to your posts in this thread? What you find humorous most of the rest of us find rather annoying. You made a claim. The burden of proof is yours. Now, stop playing games.

I simply mentioned something. If someone was interested in learning more I made the opportunity available to pursue the issue further. I wasn't necessarily arguing for Fox's sake.

No more, no less.

Well you see it's a bit more complicated than that. I would definitely recommend the book entitled 'Entanglement.' I can't remember the name of the author, but I know he is a renowned Jewish author and it shouldn't be too hard to locate.

He addresses this topic directly in his book.

I agree whole-heartedly with Jill and the others in this sentiment. Of course it's a little dangerous diving off piers, but accidents like this rarely happen (as I've done that exact activity in very similar surroundings). As Padren clarified in regards to the darwin award, I don't this would be considered in the slightest

On their website, if the fellow actually survives such an accident I think that constitutes a 'near miss.'

I think there was an article in PopSci about something like this. Except it had to do with the construction of Earthquake resistant structures though.

I'll have to reread that for a more comprehensive reply..

Much appreciated. I'll take all I can get.

Cheers,

Hi everyone! I wanted to share an online medical education course I just completed. CME-University is hosting a free online cardiology CME which reviews the Updated STEMI & NSTEMI guidelines. In addition, it discusses ways to dose antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy to maximize efficacy and minimize bleeding risks for those undergoing PCI and for those undergoing fibrinolysis. I’ve recently completed this and found it was truly one of the most useful and relevant courses available. The course is for cardiologists, emergency physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners, hospitalists, physician assistants and anyone else with an interest in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) treatment and is for 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit.

 

Here is the CME: http://www.stemicme.com

Cool beans!

Also, can you inform as to a why a physician would need to acquire additional credits after med school and residency?

Is it required?

I'm not a fan of shifting the burden of proof, sorry

You don't have to be a fan of it, to do it.

Well I know a stress test can be performed to gain somewhat reliable insight into one's general cardiovascular health. Which is entirely 'non-invasive' but it will only provide you with a limited depiction, and doesn't really clue you in on the health of the arteries.

Also if someone is about to suffer a massive heart attack, it would be pretty obvious upon general examination by a cardiologist.

This website is pretty informative on cardio diagnostics tools.

Cheers,

The difference between being a normal, healthy person and horribly disfigured and on death's doorstep can be as little as one slip of the foot.

 

When that happens, how should it be handled? Does this guy deserved to be saved, or should he get a Darwin award? Should he only be saved if he can foot the bill?

IMO- Of course he 'deserves' to be saved, if it is within our reach. Personally I'd rather have a messed up face and be blind the rest of my life than be dead.

I'm seriously not finding the humor in the Darwin Awards gimmick...

Did they actually have any evidence at the time that ACORN was dirty, or did they just irrationally presume?

Who knows. You're welcome to investigate

Merged post follows:

It was more a commentary on FOX News viewers. FOX has the highest ratings, and I don't think a lot of their viewers watch anything else, and they definitely don't bother to go back and check through the archives. So each new distortion is just fresh gospel to the exclusive FOX viewer.

 

I know several people like this. It's a "mistake" when a FOX reporter contradicts himself or misrepresents a story, but it's a "lie" if anyone else does it.

Agreed.

Wow..That's pretty messed up..

From what I read he died two days later..

Lesson for all of us.. DON'T BE STUPID!

I want to read it, haven't located a copy yet.

Sounds rather interesting..

Ah, the key to FOX News ratings.

No, I left it open for anyone who was interested. I don't have time to go looking into stupid things like that right now. Some people have more important things to do.

Why don't you look into it, if you're genuinely interested?

I know you are big on human rights etc. I can't see how it's ethically worse to use a nuke (given the times) to wipe out a city compared to firestorming one. Why was Hiroshima ethically worse than Hamburg or Dresden? I've read survivors accounts for all these cities and personally find H & D to be far worse.

Yea personally, from what I've read about Dresden, It was alot worse. With the nuke most people were vaporized before they even heard it blow. But then there was the radiation sickness and the genetic defects and cancer. That was pretty horrible too.

Can anyone actually demonstrate that stories about ACORN were going underreported by other outlets? Since that seems to be the only issue I've heard coming up as to Fox News' excellent ability to fill in the gap where the liberal bias of all other news outlets renders them blind to the story...

 

Are you saying other outlets didn't cover ACORN? Didn't investigate enough? Didn't write stories about ACORN prostitution scandals? Stole those stories from FOX?

 

Seriously, what's the deal? Educate me here. Your generalizations about FOX REVEALS ACORN'S SECRETS aren't telling the whole story. Where do you think Fox is actually picking up the slack in the whole news reporting business?

Well from what I heard (Yes I heard it on Fox) Fox had been onto ACORN months before any of the other organizations had been. They knew ACORN was dirty. I don't know if there's any truth to that though. And I don't feel like digging through Fox's archives to verify it.

If I remember, both countries knew they pissed the other off and knew something was coming to them. A nuclear warhead might have been a bit extreme

 

 

Admittedly I was bored out of my mind learning history, but I don't remember the Japanese trying to end the war. Any references on that?

I think the idea was pretty much 'kill the enemy or die trying.'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/wwtwo/japan_no_surrender_04.shtml

But did the innocent civilians that inhabited the cities deserve to die in such an extreme way?

Was the correct decision made to drop the A-bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

I have to write a paper about this in a few weeks, and I'm trying to find a stance to support. Convince me that it was the right or wrong decision.

Cheers,

*SPOILER ALERT*

I had to dig through a bunch of my old notes for this..

Okay so there are 4 lines in the Letter 'W'. There are 2 lines in the letter 'L'.

^ Geometry

Subtract 2 from 4 and you get 2.

^ Subtraction

'Broken' constitutes subtraction. 2 lines pieced together can form a 'V'.

Pretty simple when you think about it. There was some other weird things I noticed about the angles but I can't remember any of that right now.

And thanks to iNow for the following cool Einstein quote about space-time needs matter as a pre-condition:

 

"People before me believed that if all the matter in the universe were removed, only space and time would exist. My theory proves that space and time would disappear along with matter."

 

Interesting that he called it "space and time" and not "space-time". When did he start calling it "space-time"?

 

How about using the word "space" for the condition preceeding matter. Space-time is post-matter. So space is timeless, but space-time begins with a Big Bang.

This is what I meant...
