Many medical guidelines don't consider costs
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Professional medical societies don't often consider costs when they're developing their treatment guidelines for specific conditions, according to a new study.
Researchers found that just over half of the top medical societies with at least 10,000 members considered costs when developing best practices. The other half either implicitly considered costs or didn't address them at all.
"Even when they said they looked at costs, they didn't seem to have a clear, consistent or rigorous way to do so," said Dr. Steven Pearson, the study's senior author and a visiting scientist in the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
Pearson and his colleague Dr. Jennifer Schwartz write in JAMA Internal Medicine that while a lot of debate has focused on the cost of healthcare in the U.S., few researchers have looked at whether professional societies develop their treatment recommendations with costs in mind.
Clinical guidelines are often crafted by professional medical societies to help doctors decide which therapies are best for certain conditions. But saying a treatment is not worth the cost may spark fears of care rationing.
"It's obviously very controversial about when costs should be included in the discussion of healthcare," Pearson said.
But the professional practice recommendations may factor into reimbursement policies among organizations that pay for treatment, like the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
For the new study, the researchers examined the publicly available clinical guidelines issued by the 30 largest U.S. medical societies between 2008 and 2012 to see which ones discussed costs.
More than half - 17 of the 30 societies - explicitly included costs in their discussion of clinical guidelines, four at least implicitly considered costs, three purposely excluded costs and six did not mention prices.
The researchers then examined the 279 guidelines published by the 17 societies that included costs in their decisions. Based on that review, they found nine had a formal evaluation system for costs. The other eight societies had several methods to evaluate costs or didn't mention their process.
"I think it's encouraging the societies are now starting to include costs into their guidelines. And when they decide not to, I think it's important to be transparent about that," said Schwartz, a research fellow in the NIH Department of Bioethics.
Dr. Joseph Drozda, from the Center for Innovative Care at Mercy in Chesterfield, Missouri, said he believes more and more societies will be including cost analyses in their guidelines.
"(The researchers) caught it on the upslope so I think we're going to see more attention to cost in guidelines," said Drozda, the chair of the American College of Cardiology Foundation's Clinical Quality Committee who wrote a commentary accompanying the new study.
"I think clearly there is - over time - more of an interest in incorporating cost issues into guidelines," said Dr. Steven Weinberger, executive vice president and CEO of the American College of Physicians in Philadelphia.
"What a lot of organizations are doing - and certainly what we're doing - is recognizing that there are so many areas of overuse and misuse of care," said Weinberger, who has written about cost-conscious care but was not involved in the new research.
He added that the discussion of costs in healthcare is not about rationing, but finding which treatments offer the best value.
"I would really like to see a much more open dialogue between physicians and patients about costs," Weinberger said.

Starting point for this beer was our historic Koyt beer with 45% malted oats. We made it a bit stronger, added a some pale ale malt, a Styrian Goldings whirlpool hop and had some oak chips in the aging process. This is our interpretation of old durable Dutch ships beer; the name means 'Sailors' and was found in old references about beer.

Why did you change it? Imo, his "stalky" walk was a really cool part of him, you could feel the vengeful-no looking back intention when he walked/ran Now, he looks like an average joe with a bow, not to mention that the "initial" walk animation (when you dont have tier 2 boots) makes him look like if he had to go to the bathroom What was the intention on changing him from vengeful stalker to "a guy"? Could we get his old animation back? like we had with WW when he was changed from "hunter" to "guy running on a spring flower field"
when did they change it?
This patch
Agreed. Riot, please change it back. I want to be slinking around as the Arrow of Retribution, not jogging.
Junior Member
I'm with Ankokukai on this one, of all the things to change about Varus why change his walk animation? This new animation lacks the character of the old one and just looks boring. Why take something interesting away from the character to make him more generic? The only technical reason I could think of is that in his old animation, his initial walk speed (no boots) looked slightly off sync compared to the speed that he moved his legs, but couldn't they have just...you know...synced it up instead?
Wholeheartedly agree on this. His stalking animations was one thing that I enjoyed about Varus besides the slick autoattacks.
Agreed, NEED his old walk back. This new half assed walk is terrible. He looks like he's trying to walk in a backbrace
Riot pls
i never really liked how idiotic he looked at level 1 but he did look cool once you got tier 2 boots

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: High rates of mental disorders have been found in detained juvenile offenders, whereas the role of psychopathology in non-detained offenders is less clear. Therefore, the present study compared psychopathology in male non-detained delinquent juveniles and two matched samples from the community and an adolescent psychiatric clinic. METHODS: 125 male adolescents aged 11 to 19 years (m = 16.2 years, SD = 1.5 years) from an outpatient adolescent forensic clinic were compared to a community sample from the Zurich Adolescent Psychology and Psychopathology Study (ZAPPS) and a referred sample from a psychiatric clinic matched for age and nationality. All subjects responded to questionnaires measuring internalizing and externalizing problems, depressive symptoms and self-esteem. RESULTS: The sample of non-detained juvenile offenders showed similar rates of self-reported internalizing and externalizing problems when compared to the community sample, whereas the clinic sample displayed an increased rate of various disturbances. Similar results were found also for self-esteem. In agreement with these findings, non-detained juvenile offenders less frequently had a psychiatric diagnosis after full clinical assessment when compared to the clinical sample. However, a diagnosis of conduct disorders and a lower IQ range was found more frequently in non-detained juvenile offenders. Offenders with serious delinquent acts and involving weapons showed higher depression scores than the rest of the offenders. CONCLUSION: In non-detained assessment situations before court examination, juvenile offenders present rather normal behaviour. Their lack of awareness of potential behavioural problems should be considered during assessment and treatment of this group of offenders.Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health 02/2013; 7(1):7.This article is viewable in ResearchGate's enriched format - American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B Neuropsychiatric Genetics 01/2013; 162B(5):419-430. · 3.27 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Impulsive drive for immediate reward (IDIR) and delay aversion are dissociable elements of the preference for immediate over delayed rewards seen in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We hypothesized that IDIR would be associated with dopamine regulating genes and delay aversion would be associated with serotonin-regulating genes. Impulsive drive for immediate reward and delay aversion were measured in 459 male children and adolescents (328 ADHD and 131 unaffected siblings) with a laboratory choice task. The sample was genotyped for the 5HTT (SLC6A4) promoter serotonin-transporter-linked polymorphic region polymorphism and a DAT1 (SLC6A3) 40-base pair variable number tandem repeat located in the 3'-untranslated region of the gene. There was no effect of dopamine transporter (DAT)1 on IDIR. As predicted, serotonin-transporter-linked polymorphic region s-allele carriers were more delay averse. This effect was driven by the s/l genotype in the ADHD group. These results were not altered by taking account of the rs25531 A/G single nucleotide polymorphism and were independent of age, IQ, and oppositional defiant disorder symptoms. The results support the genetic distinctiveness of IDIR and delay aversion in ADHD and implicate serotonin function in delay aversion. Possible explanations of the heterosis effect in the ADHD cases are presented.Biological psychiatry 04/2011; 70(3):230-6. · 8.93 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Twin and sibling studies have identified specific cognitive phenotypes that may mediate the association between genes and the clinical symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD is also associated with lower IQ scores. We aimed to investigate whether the familial association between measures of cognitive performance and the clinical diagnosis of ADHD is mediated through shared familial influences with IQ. Multivariate familial models were run on data from 1265 individuals aged 6-18 years, comprising 920 participants from ADHD sibling pairs and 345 control participants. Cognitive assessments included a four-choice reaction time (RT) task, a go/no-go task, a choice-delay task and an IQ assessment. The analyses focused on the cognitive variables of mean RT (MRT), RT variability (RTV), commission errors (CE), omission errors (OE) and choice impulsivity (CI). Significant familial association (rF) was confirmed between cognitive performance and both ADHD (rF=0.41-0.71) and IQ (rF=-0.25 to -0.49). The association between ADHD and cognitive performance was largely independent (80-87%) of any contribution from etiological factors shared with IQ. The exception was for CI, where 49% of the overlap could be accounted for by the familial variance underlying IQ. The aetiological factors underlying lower IQ in ADHD seem to be distinct from those between ADHD and RT/error measures. This suggests that lower IQ does not account for the key cognitive impairments observed in ADHD. The results have implications for molecular genetic studies designed to identify genes involved in ADHD.Psychological Medicine 04/2011; 41(4):861-71. · 5.43 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Intelligence is a highly heritable trait for which it has proven difficult to identify the actual genes. In the past decade, five whole-genome linkage scans have suggested genomic regions important to human intelligence; however, so far none of the responsible genes or variants in those regions have been identified. Apart from these regions, a handful of candidate genes have been identified, although most of these are in need of replication. The recent growth in publicly available data sets that contain both whole genome association data and a wealth of phenotypic data, serves as an excellent resource for fine mapping and candidate gene replication. We used the publicly available data of 947 families participating in the International Multi-Centre ADHD Genetics (IMAGE) study to conduct an in silico fine mapping study of previously associated genomic locations, and to attempt replication of previously reported candidate genes for intelligence. Although this sample was ascertained for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), intelligence quotient (IQ) scores were distributed normally. We tested 667 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within 15 previously reported candidate genes for intelligence and 29451 SNPs in five genomic loci previously identified through whole genome linkage and association analyses. Significant SNPs were tested in four independent samples (4,357 subjects), one ascertained for ADHD, and three population-based samples. Associations between intelligence and SNPs in the ATXN1 and TRIM31 genes and in three genomic locations showed replicated association, but only in the samples ascertained for ADHD, suggesting that these genetic variants become particularly relevant to IQ on the background of a psychiatric disorder.American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B Neuropsychiatric Genetics 03/2011; 156(2):145-57. · 3.27 Impact Factor - European Psychiatry 01/2010; 25:1480-1480. · 3.21 Impact Factor

This was particularly clear in the case of the DAT1 3′-UTR VNTR. In the current investigation, we analyzed three new sample comprising of 1,248 ADHD nuclear families to examine the allelic over-transmission of DAT1 in ADHD. The IMAGE sample, the largest of the three-replication samples, provides strong support for a parent of origin effect for allele 6 and the 10 repeat allele (intron 8 and 3′-UTR VNTR, respectively) of DAT1. In addition, a similar pattern of over-transmission of paternal risk haplotypes (constructed from the above alleles) was also observed. Some support is also derived from the two smaller samples although neither is independently significant. Although the mechanism driving the paternal over-transmission of the DAT risk alleles is not known, these finding provide further support for this phenomenon. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B Neuropsychiatric Genetics 12/2009; 153B(1):97 - 102. · 3.27 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Mothers' positive emotions expressed about their children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are associated with a reduced likelihood of comorbid conduct problems (CP). We examined whether this association with CP, and one with emotional problems (EMO), is moderated by variants within three genes, previously reported to be associated with ADHD and to moderate the impact of environmental risks on conduct and/or emotional problems; the dopamine transporter gene (SLC6A3/DAT1), the dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4) and the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4/5HTT).Methods: Seven hundred and twenty-eight males between the ages of 5 and 17 with a DSM-IV research diagnosis of combined type ADHD were included in these analyses. Parents and teachers rated children's conduct and emotional problems. Positive maternal expressed emotion (PMEE) was coded by independent observers on comments made during a clinical assessment with the mother based on current or recent medication-free periods.Results: Sensitivity to the effects of PMEE on CP was moderated by variants of the DAT1 and 5HTT genes. Only children who did not carry the DAT1 10R/10R or the 5HTT l/l genotypes showed altered levels of CP when exposed to PMEE. The effect was most marked where the child with ADHD had both these genotypes. For EMO, sensitivity to PMEE was found only with those who carried the DAT1 9R/9R. There was no effect of DRD4 on CP or EMO.Conclusion: The gene–environment interactions observed suggested that genetic make-up can alter the degree of sensitivity an ADHD patients has to their family environment. Further research should focus on distinguishing general sensitivity genotypes from those conferring risk or protective qualities.Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry 08/2009; 50(9):1052 - 1063. · 5.42 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]

ABSTRACT: Results of behavioral genetic and molecular genetic studies have converged to suggest that genes substantially contribute to the development of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a common disorder with an onset in childhood. Yet, despite numerous linkage and candidate gene studies, strongly consistent and replicable association has eluded detection. To search for ADHD susceptibility genes, we genotyped approximately 600,000 SNPs in 958 ADHD affected family trios. After cleaning the data, we analyzed 438,784 SNPs in 2,803 individuals comprising 909 complete trios using ADHD diagnosis as phenotype. We present the initial TDT findings as well as considerations for cleaning family-based TDT data. None of the SNP association tests achieved genome-wide significance, indicating that larger samples may be required to identify risk loci for ADHD. We additionally identify a systemic bias in family-based association, and suggest that variable missing genotype rates may be the source of this bias.American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B Neuropsychiatric Genetics 01/2009; 147B(8):1337-44. · 3.27 Impact Factor -
Article: Genome-wide association scan of the time to onset of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A time-to-onset analysis for family-based samples was performed on the genomewide association (GWAS) data for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to determine if associations exist with the age at onset of ADHD. The initial dataset consisted of 958 parent-offspring trios that were genotyped on the Perlegen 600,000 SNP array. After data cleaning procedures, 429,981 autosomal SNPs and 930 parent-offspring trios were used found suitable for use and a family-based logrank analysis was performed using that age at first ADHD symptoms as the quantitative trait of interest. No SNP achieved genome-wide significance, and the lowest P-values had a magnitude of 10(-7). Several SNPs among a pre-specified list of candidate genes had nominal associations including SLC9A9, DRD1, ADRB2, SLC6A3, NFIL3, ADRB1, SYT1, HTR2A, ARRB2, and CHRNA4. Of these findings SLC9A9 stood out as a promising candidate, with nominally significant SNPs in six distinct regions of the gene.American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B Neuropsychiatric Genetics 11/2008; 147B(8):1355-8. · 3.27 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a complex condition with environmental and genetic etiologies. Up to this point, research has identified genetic associations with candidate genes from known biological pathways. In order to identify novel ADHD susceptibility genes, 600,000 SNPs were genotyped in 958 ADHD proband-parent trios. After applying data cleaning procedures we examined 429,981 autosomal SNPs in 909 family trios. We generated six quantitative phenotypes from 18 ADHD symptoms to be used in genome-wide association analyses. With the PBAT screening algorithm, we identified 2 SNPs, rs6565113 and rs552655 that met the criteria for significance within a specified phenotype. These SNPs are located in intronic regions of genes CDH13 and GFOD1, respectively. CDH13 has been implicated previously in substance use disorders. We also evaluated the association of SNPs from a list of 37 ADHD candidate genes that was specified a priori. These findings, along with association P-values with a magnitude less than 10(-5), are discussed in this manuscript. Seventeen of these candidate genes had association P-values lower then 0.01: SLC6A1, SLC9A9, HES1, ADRB2, HTR1E, DDC, ADRA1A, DBH, DRD2, BDNF, TPH2, HTR2A, SLC6A2, PER1, CHRNA4, SNAP25, and COMT. Among the candidate genes, SLC9A9 had the strongest overall associations with 58 association test P-values lower than 0.01 and multiple association P-values at a magnitude of 10(-5) in this gene. In sum, these findings identify novel genetic associations at viable ADHD candidate genes and provide confirmatory evidence for associations at previous candidate genes. Replication of these results is necessary in order to confirm the proposed genetic variants for ADHD.American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B Neuropsychiatric Genetics 10/2008; 147B(8):1345-54. · 3.27 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is typically characterized by inattention, excessive motor activity, impulsivity, and distractibility. Individuals with ADHD have significant impairment in family and peer relations, academic functioning, and show high co-morbidity with a wide range of psychiatric disorders including oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder (CD), anxiety disorder, depression, substance abuse, and pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). Family studies suggest that ADHD + CD represents a specific subtype of the ADHD disorder with familial risk factors only partly overlapping with those of ADHD alone. We performed a hypothesis-free analysis of the GAIN-ADHD sample to identify markers and genes important in the development of conduct problems in a European cohort of individuals with ADHD. Using the Family-Based Association Test (FBAT) package we examined three measures of conduct problems in 1,043,963 autosomal markers. This study is part of a series of exploratory analyses to identify candidate genes that may be important in ADHD and ADHD-related traits, such as conduct problems. We did not find genome-wide statistical significance (P < 5 x 10(-7)) for any of the tested markers and the three conduct problem traits. Fifty-four markers reached strong GWA signals (P < 10(-5)). We discuss these findings in the context of putative candidate genes and the implications of these findings in the understanding of the etiology of ADHD + CD. We aimed to achieve insight into the genetic etiology of a trait using a hypothesis-free study design and were able to identify a number of biologically interesting markers and genes for follow-up studies.American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B Neuropsychiatric Genetics 10/2008; 147B(8):1369-78. · 3.27 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Studies of gene x environment (G x E) interaction in ADHD have previously focused on known risk genes for ADHD and environmentally mediated biological risk. Here we use G x E analysis in the context of a genome-wide association scan to identify novel genes whose effects on ADHD symptoms and comorbid conduct disorder are moderated by high maternal expressed emotion (EE). SNPs (600,000) were genotyped in 958 ADHD proband-parent trios. After applying data cleaning procedures we examined 429,981 autosomal SNPs in 909 family trios. ADHD symptom severity and comorbid conduct disorder was measured using the Parental Account of Childhood Symptoms interview. Maternal criticism and warmth (i.e., EE) were coded by independent observers on comments made during the interview. No G x E interactions reached genome-wide significance. Nominal effects were found both with and without genetic main effects. For those with genetic main effects 36 uncorrected interaction P-values were <10(-5) implicating both novel genes as well as some previously supported candidates. These were found equally often for all of the interactions being investigated. The observed interactions in SLC1A1 and NRG3 SNPs represent reasonable candidate genes for further investigation given their previous association with several psychiatric illnesses. We find evidence for the role of EE in moderating the effects of genes on ADHD severity and comorbid conduct disorder, implicating both novel and established candidates. These findings need replicating in larger independent samples.American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B Neuropsychiatric Genetics 10/2008; 147B(8):1359-68. · 3.27 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A major goal of genetic studies of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is to identify individual characteristics that might help segregate the disorder's inherent heterogeneity. [Mill et al. (2006); Arch Ger Psychiatry 63:462–469] recently reported a potentially important association between two dopamine-related risk polymorphisms (DRD4 variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) in exon 3 and DAT1 VNTR in the 3′ UTR) and lowered IQ in ADHD. The objective of the current study was to replicate the [Mill et al. (2006); Arch Ger Psychiatry 63:462–469] findings in a clinical sample and to extend the analysis to a large range of alternative SNP markers of putative ADHD risk alleles identified in a recent study [Brookes et al. (2006); Mol Genet 11:934–953]. Participants were 1081 children and adolescents with a research-confirmed combined type ADHD diagnosis and 1300 unaffected siblings who took part in the International Multi-centre ADHD Genetics (IMAGE) project. They were recruited from multiple settings from across Europe: Belgium, Britain, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland. The results were that ADHD was associated with reduced IQ. However, there was no association between the two dopamine-related risk polymorphisms and IQ in either the probands or their siblings. Furthermore, other selected genetic markers previously demonstrated to be associated with ADHD in this sample were not associated with IQ. This large scale study with a clinically ascertained and regorously diagnosed sample failed to replicate the association between genetic polymorphisms in the dopamine system and IQ in ADHD. We also observed no association of other SNPs with IQ in ADHD. © 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B Neuropsychiatric Genetics 04/2008; 147B(3):316 - 319. · 3.27 Impact Factor

The Day of Pentecost was remembered two weeks ago in many churches around the world. Did you ever wonder why this Holy Day—mentioned in the book of Acts and other books of the Bible—was observed by the Church that Jesus began?
As you may now have come to understand, the Day of Pentecost became well known as the time when God's Church received the Holy Spirit . This dramatic event was accompanied by what looked like tongues of fire descending upon the church members (Acts:2:3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.).
Since the Day of Pentecost was observed so recently by many Christians, let's confirm what the Holy Spirit is and see how it affects our lives as Christians.
To begin with, the word "spirit" is translated from the Hebrew ruach and the Greek pneuma. Both words denote breath or wind—an invisible force. Scripture says that "God is a Spirit" (John:4:24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.).
So, just what is the Holy Spirit? One of the simplest descriptions is this: It is the " power of the Highest. "
Rather than the Holy Spirit being a distinct person or entity, the Bible most often refers to it as and connects it with God's divine power.
The prophet Micah was inspired to write: "But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord" (Micah:3:8But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin., emphasis mine throughout).
Jewish scholars, examining the references to it in the Old Testament Scriptures, have never defined the Holy Spirit as anything but the power of God. In the New Testament, the apostle Paul referred to it as the "spirit of power, love and a sound mind" (2 Timothy:1:7For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind..)
Informing Mary that Jesus would be supernaturally conceived in her womb, an angel told her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you," and the divine messenger described this Spirit to her as "the power of the Highest [which] will overshadow you" (Luke:1:35And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.).
Then, in a noteworthy Pentecost-related statement, Jesus told His followers, "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you" (Acts:1:8But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.).
God's Word shows that the Holy Spirit is the very nature, presence and expression of God's power actively working in His servants. Indeed, it is through His Spirit that God is present everywhere at once throughout the universe and affects it at will. He is omnipresent.
Confronted with such scriptures, even the New Catholic Encyclopedia admits:
"The OT [Old Testament] clearly does not envisage God's spirit as a person…God's spirit is simply God's power. If it is sometimes represented as being distinct from God, it is because the breath of Yahweh acts exteriorly…The majority of NT [New Testament] texts reveal God's spirit as some thing , not some one ; this is especially seen in the parallelism between the spirit and the power of God" (1965, Vol. 13, "Spirit of God," pp. 574-576).
The reference work A Catholic Dictionary similarly acknowledges,
"On the whole the New Testament, like the Old, speaks of the spirit as a divine energy or power" (William Addis and Thomas Arnold, 2004, "Trinity, Holy," p. 827).
In contrast to God the Father and Jesus Christ, who are consistently compared to human beings in Their form and shape, the Holy Spirit is consistently represented by various symbols and manifestations in a completely different manner—such as breath, wind, fire, water, oil [remember the parable of the ten virgins trimming their oil lamps?], a dove and a down payment on eternal life.
And so, as we remember the Day of Pentecost and the many Christians who observed this particular Holy Day of God this year, let's be reminded that it is the "power of the Highest."
For more information on the subject of the Holy Spirit, be sure to go online and read or request your own copy of Is God a Trinity? It's good to be well informed on this important topic and the meaning of the Day of Pentecost.
Page 53 of your trinity booklet also quotes Acts 10:38: "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power."
If the Holy Spirit IS the power of God, why would this verse (along with others such as I Thessalonians 1:5) indicate they're two separate things?
I believe that the Holy Spirit Is a Messenger Of Yahweh.I believe also that the Holy Spirit Comprise the unity Of The angels in their
surrender to the will of Yahweh God.This is their baptism.Yashua In Mark:8:38Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.,called the angels holy.The Writer In Hebrews1:14called them ministering spirits.But the unity makes them one as Yashua said I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.Rev:5:11-12 [11] And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
[12] Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
,('Voices of many angels...Saying In A lOUD VOICE)...oN The Day Of Pentecost.Cloven tongues of Fire that Separated.Picture witnessing or a baptism.Or a firery Speaker having the congregation totally interested in the word.But in this case worshippers given or enabling with Yahweh's power to do his work. The cloven tongue as in Job:29:21-25 [21] Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
[22] After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
[23] And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
[24] If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
[25] I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
.Amp.Men listened to me and waited and kept silence for my counsel.After I spoke they did not speak again...my speech dropped like a refreshing shower...-25 I chose their way for them and sat as their chief. Like one who comforts mourners. The aspostles were in mourning at the time.But It was Yahweh God speaking through Job to devout men.
Hi dust_i_am,
NIV puts it this way: "because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction..." The Holy Spirit is synonymous with God's power. The way it is written is just describing the Holy Spirit.
It is like saying, "The Gatekeeper rollercoaster is powerful, with force and speed..." All those things are describing the rollercoaster. I find it interesting that it also says powerful conviction is an attribute of the Holy Spirit in John:16:8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:.
Simplisticly, the Holy Spirit is with you when a person can look at pages of the Bible that they have never read before and can understand it. Me...I sat down on my couch knowing that Jesus Christ will return in a cloud and I truly wondered how. I opened the Bible to Ezekiel, one Sabbath, to the first chapter and got my answer. I looked at a lot of the prophecies about nations today and was like WOW. This is actually going to happen. WOW!!!! That's the Holy Spirit for me. It goes deeper to when I was a kid. The Holy Spirit has been with me for a long time as with many of us. Christ will return on his throne with the four living creatures informing what's going on in a loud loud voice. I thank the God in heaven for his Holy Spirit, because he lifted the vail over my eyes long time ago, when I was a kid and continues to lift it every day I live. I am more than grateful. This WOW that I went through was the Holy Spirit within me.
The Holy Spirit; for some reason I refer to The Holy Spirit as a separate person within God (3 United). It's always been confusing to explain to others about the Trinity and how it functions. I just found something to be a little off about the idea of 3 separate persons within one God.
I can see now that God is the Father, the Word of God is Jesus the Son, the Holy Spirit is merely the Spirit of the Father living in us after we accept Him.
I am just wondering, will we ever see Jesus in heaven? Or will we only see God? Or both, God and Jesus?
Songs of Love, Santoria
Hello Songs of Love, Santoria!
(My favorite book in the Bible is the Song of Songs!)
I have really good news for you.
We will see Jesus (& the Father later) but Jesus anticipated our concern. Jesus will soon return & everyone alive at that time will see Him. (Revelation 1: 7) And Jesus said He looked just like the Father (John 14: 7--11) so that should satisfy us for awhile but (please do not be too disappointed), we are not going to heaven; Jesus is coming back to the earth.
He will really & truly reign as King of Kings & Lord of Lords!
That is the real, satisfying future that converted Christians want.
For 1000 years things will go right. Shortly after that, after a bit of bad stuff has been removed, the Father will join us all.

Hughes enjoys City progress
01 Aug 2008 - 07:39:21
Manchester City boss Mark Hughes was relieved to see his side reach the second qualifying of the UEFA Cup by completing a comfortable 4-0 aggregate win over EB Streymur.
The Faroe Islands side defended manfully at Oakwell to keep the scoreline more than respectable, with the Citizens winning 2-0 on the night thanks to goals from Martin Petrov and Darius Vassell.
Hughes said afterwards: "They defended extremely well. It was damage limitation from them really, but you have to give them praise for their efforts.
"Their goalkeeper had a wonderful night, they threw bodies in the way of everything and made life very difficult for us.
"But I was pleased with my lads. They kept at them and if their goalkeeper had not had such a great night, we would have won it at a canter.
"But frankly we were never in any danger. We should have won by a fair margin and we should have been quicker in possession, but the key is that we have qualified for the next round, that was the objective."
Hughes also confirmed that he is on the lookout for several new players, adding: "We are looking for good players in several positions and are working on a few deals."

M.D., PhD, FACC
Balance Body, Mind and Spirit
Feeling Balanced
Our world is not only toxic physically but the level of pressure and stress we all feel mentally and emotionally makes us sick.
Spending a week with us fasting and removing waste from your system means
you would leave feeling balanced physically
but the
We Care Spa™ program does so much more
... the program is designed to help you
transform your life...
how you feel physically, how you think and the emotions you feel.
We know, to be effective, we must help you balance your body, your mind, and your spirit together because they are all so closely connected.
So while you are at We Care Spa, we'll count on the program, with all the juices and herbal teas and plant foods, the alkaline Kangen water with lemon, daily soup, enzymes and Probiotics mixed with colonics and therapeutic treatments and personal work on the special equipment to help you get your body back in balance.
We'll Introduce You to New Ways of Thinking
To help you think differently you'll have complimentary classes on nutrition, classes that teach you how your body works
(or doesn't)
, how to prepare your kitchen, to shop, and cook quick easy
healthy meals that will be your insurance policy against sickness
Once you have been detoxified and you have learned to stay that way, changing the way you respond to life emotionally is just as important!
The We Care Spa program includes movement classes delivered by experienced and inspired instructors to keep you open and relaxed. You'll be able to
attend classes delivered by powerful healers
who know how to use unique and different modalities
(some dating back thousands of years)
to touch your psyche and shift the mind patterns that hold you back. If you connect with one of these healers, you have the option to book a private session where they will personalize their work for you alone.

Hulu Plus Android App Will Be Released Soon
I'm an Android user, and have been for about a year. Historically, that means that I usually get the hottest apps after they've already been available to iPhone users (Angry Birds is a great example). While Android's market share is on a sharp rise, there are still many apps that hit the iPhone first, like the Hulu Plus app. Hulu Plus has been available to iPhone and iPad users for a while, but will now be coming to Android very soon, according to the official Hulu blog.
Part of the reason iPhones get a lot of apps before Android devices is the fact that Apple's iPhone launched a good year or two before Android devices became commonplace... so the user base was bigger and deserved more attention. Part of it, though, is surely due to the Android's infamous fragmentation problem--all iPhones are largely the same, whereas there are myriad Android devices... each with it's own unique hardware, and each running a different version of Android. This results in a bit of a challenge for app developers, who end up having to release multiple versions of an app in order to ensure it works fine across the board.
My guess--and that's all it is, at this point, is a guess--is that Hulu simply needed more time to make sure their Hulu Plus app would work similarly across all brands and versions of the various Android devices that are out there. But after a Samsung presentation at CES appeared to indicate the existence of a Hulu Plus app for Android, the company has officially confirmed the news:
"Hulu Plus will be available on select Android mobile phones in coming months; we'll announce further details as soon as we have an official launch date and complete list of Hulu Plus-enabled Android phones. We hope you're as excited as we are!"
There you have it folks... the Android version of the app is "coming soon":
That's not a lot of detail, I know. But it's nice to get official confirmation of the Android app, even if you'd think there'd be more information available than simply "in the coming months."
Remember when Google TV was announced, and just a few short days later it was discovered that Hulu was blocking the devices from accessing their website? And the company claimed to be working on a way to let Android users access their shows and movies? Yeah, this Hulu Plus app for Android is the company's answer... you will soon be able to access Hulu from your Google TV device, but only if you're a Plus subscriber.
So... the real question is this: How many of you out there are both Android users and Hulu Plus customers? And of that group... how many of you would find this app useful? I have to admit, the idea of watching television episodes and films on my phone is very appealing to me. Sure, when I'm at home, I watch as much entertainment as possible on my television or laptop. But there are an awful lot of occasions where I find myself out of the house, with some time to kill--waiting at the doctor's office, in between periods at a hockey game, or just hanging around while my wife shops for shoes. In times like these, the Hulu Plus app would be a lifesaver... if I were a subscriber. See, it turns out the real problem with the Hulu Plus app for Android isn't the app... but the core Plus service itself. Which has yet to add the premium level content (quality and quantity) to make the $7.99 a month worth it in my eyes.
