Citibank Testing an ATM That Scans Your Eyeballs to Prevent Theft
PIN pads, card readers and screens have no place in the cash withdrawal of the future
Designed by self-service technology provider Diebold, Citibank's newest ATM prototype Irving strays from conventional designs by eliminating the need for PIN pads, card readers and even screens. In their place, the machine will employ near field communication (NFC) technology to identify customers through their phones, wherein interactions will proceed on users' respective mobile screens. An accompanying app will employ an eye scanning process for user verification, thanks to iris identification software provided by Eyelock, before prompting users with their options.
While Irving looks to make ATM transactions more seamless, it's also venturing to make them safer. 2015 saw an unprecedented rate of "skimming"—the process in which thieves insert a device into a card reader to capture card data and a camera to view the PIN information—the highest in over two decades. In taking a minimalistic and personalized approach to withdrawal, Irving looks to eliminate the need for feeding a debit card, potentially preventing millions of dollars lost to identity theft.
"Citibank ATMs will now present information based on customer preferences automatically and they will enable customers to check their balances at any point without having to navigate through multiple screens. No matter how we interact with customers—at an ATM, in a branch, on a mobile device, over the phone or online—we want to deliver the best experience possible."
Let's face it, we've all had to wait in line behind someone punching in the wrong PIN code time and time again, only to debate whether getting a receipt is a secure decision or not. Perhaps we ourselves were the slowpoke pondering how much cash we need for the week. Irving looks to eliminate these problems by streamlining the user experience to allow for multiple people to access an ATM at any single moment. Complete with remembered preferences (language selection, faster withdrawals), simplified screen flows, customer friendly design and tones and the removal of multi-screen navigation, the global banking leader is set to release the ATM in the near future, stay tuned.

Dog saves owner, dies in Ga. fire
3-year-old boxer, Duncan, woke Scott Dunn as room filled with smoke; Dunn escaped, but Duncan died of smoke inhalation
By Mike Morris and John Spink
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
MARIETTA, Ga. — A Marietta man is grieving his 3 1/2-year-old boxer — the "best dog in the world" — who saved him from his burning home but perished in the fire early Tuesday.
Scott Dunn's home in the Blackwell community near the intersection of Chastain and Canton roads caught fire around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday. When Cobb firefighters arrived, the brick ranch-style house was already engulfed in flames.
Dunn said he wasn't feeling well Monday night and fell asleep on his sofa after watching the kickoff of the Monday night football game, his dog, Duncan, fast by his side.

I want to get rid off the sentence called "Company Name" and "your Slogan", so I have gone into Appearance, and also under Settings/General, and also under Themes/Edit in order to remove them (or put something else). Then dave the changes, but the sentences keep appearing.
Am I missing something? I am geting already emails about my clients, which is not good….. so if someone could help me I would apprecaite it.

Welcome to the 80's at 8 blog, updated daily with today's show content and the music videos for all the songs we played! If you can dance if you want to, and you can leave your friends behind, if the thought of total protonic reversal gives you the heebie-jeebies, if anybody ever called you Baby and it didn't occur to you to mind, or if Meg Ryan ever inspired you to have all your sauces on the side, then this is the show for you. It is the 80's at 8 powered by DanielsEnergy.com, and we are kicking off today's show with a song inspired by a 1980 horror film of the same name, and was used in the 1983 movie Flashdance because they desperately needed music for the movie.. here's Michael Sambello "Maniac"
From 1987 Crowded House "Something so Strong" If you've ever informed your flight attendant of your ability to speak jive, If you're still mad because When Harry Met Sally convinced you Billy Crystal was hot, or If you think no one can ever dethrone Mary Lou Retton as America's Sweetheart, you are in the right place, this is the 80's at 8, from 1986 The Bangles "Manic Monday"
From 1989 The B-52's "Roam" If your taste buds know the difference between Juicy Juice and Capri Sun, If you're still waiting for Kermit and Piggy to take you on a Great Muppet Caper, or If you've ever had the urge to bake Molly Ringwald a birthday cake with 16 Candles, you are on the right station, this is the 80's at 8, from 1982 Duran Duran "Rio"
Here is the answer to the timeline, in which year did the following things take place?
The Supreme Court ruled that using a VCR to tape television shows did not violate copyright law.
Farrah Fawcett starred as a woman who killed her abusive husband in the fact-based TV movie The Burning Bed.
Steven Spielberg met future wife Kate Capshaw while directing her and Indiana Jones in the Temple of Doom, in 1984, and that year, Bananarama scored a huge hit, but not until after this song was used in the movie The Karate Kid. Here's "Cruel Summer"
From 1988 Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians "What I Am" If you'd still follow Tiffany to the mall and back, If you'd take Teddy Ruxpin over Build a Bear any day, or If you'd throw Super Walmart over any day for KMart, Zayres or Caldor, then you're the right place, this is the 80's at 8, from 1989 Howard Jones "Everlasting Love"
From 1985 Prince and the Revolution "Raspberry Beret" If you want to be the one to walk in the sun, If your emotions are still conflicted over Milli Vanilli being forced to give up their Grammy, or If you're hoping to have a baby girl someday so you can pass on all your Sweet Valley High books and Care, this is the show for you. It is the 80's at 8, and from 1985 Til' Tuesday "Voices Carry"

Kameda scandal explodes
By Joe Koizumi
The aftermath of the WBC flyweight title bout of Pongsaklek Wonjongkam defeating Koki Kameda last Saturday has become more and more scandalous day after day here in Japan. Kameda's father Shiro, under the JBC's indefinite suspension, shouted at the WBC supervisor Edward Thangarajah, a highly respected executive member of the Council, accusing him of his supervision on the said title bout. Tokyo Sports front-paged this scandal that happened in the dressing room after Kameda's well-received and obvious loss admitted by the whole crowd. Edward was quoted as saying, "I have never received such a disgusted humiliation by any boxing person in my forty-five-year boxing life of covering more than one thousand bouts. His barbarous behavior was a serious slander to the WBC. He disgracefully shouted and almost punched the JBC representative. He must understand that boxing is a sport of gentlemen. I'll report all what really occurred that night in detail to our president Dr. Jose Sulaiman."
Nikkan Sports mentioned a possibility of Shiro Kameda to be expelled from the boxing world because of his thirty-minute threat to the JBC executive secretary and WBC sub-supervisor Tsuyoshi Yasukochi for his logical and well-supported negligence of the referee Lupe Garcia's alleged second penalization on Pongsaklek in the fifth round.
Sports Hochi also suggested the JBC's possible penalty to Shiro by forbidding him to enter the arena on any fight of his sons (Koki, WBA 112-pound champ Daiki and unbeaten prospect Tomoki) as he is to be designated as dangerous and undesirable person.
Japan Pro Boxing Association (JPBA), the union of licensed club owners, will call an emergency executive meeting to discuss the heavy penalty on the future activity of the Kameda Gym by reproving it for failing to control the mad-dog-like Shiro.
Hiroyuki Miyata, the impresario of Miyata Promotion that staged the Kameda-Pongsaklek title go, revealed that the surprisingly sparse crowd was only 1,900, which showed Kameda's unpopularity among our boxing aficionados. He pointed out that what accounted for the previous big audience in the Kameda-Daisuke Naito bout last November was just Naito's nationwide popularity as well as people's expectation on his victory over the bad boy Kameda.
Why are Kameda brothers hated by the general public? Simply because they are not sportsmanlike. Kameda makes it a rule (ritual) at the weigh-in to shake hand with his opponent with full force to hurt the hand and intimidate him. Kameda once roughly appeared to the press conference, eating a Kentucky fried chicken, and said to his rival, "Can you eat now like this?" Kameda always ridicules his opponent with dirty words, which the Japanese culture dislikes. Kameda, after the weigh-in, usually gives an awesome stare to his opponent, and if he turns his eyes away, he triumphantly shouts, "You're a coward!" They are antisocial rather than childish, which is absolutely against what we expect professional boxers to be with our old tradition in the wake of Yoshio Shirai, Fighting Harada, Masao Ohba, etc. Our hero should be humble, modest and strong, unlike Kameda.
Kameda is a strange boxing figure. Many people won't buy tickets to profit the arrogant Kameda family, but they watch the bad boy's fight on television, so the TV ratings are high probably because they are eager to see the big-mouthed Kameda beaten. Despite high television ratings, strange enough, very few sponsors financially give support to Kameda's boxing programs chiefly due to his bad manner and impaired reputation therefore. Definitely it is a misunderstanding that foreign media think Kameda is popular here. He is just notorious and flamboyant. Almost all active Japanese boxers also dislike Kameda, since they are afraid that people think them to be as ill-mannered as Kameda. Since his appearance on the paid ranks, the bad boy has destroyed and deteriorated the dignity of boxing here.
We would like to watch and wait for the JBC's punishment on Shiro Kameda and the Kameda Gym as well, since our commission has to definitely prevent any boxing people from acting like the notorious father in showing his displeasure with any official verdict.

It seems everything has an app store now, doesn't it...
Latest - and perhaps most unlikely - to join this club is Livescribe, which has announced an application store for its Pulse Smartpen. Yes, you heard that right.
In actuality however this does make more sense than it first appears. Livescribe will use the store to provide Smartpen customers with access to over 30 paid and free applications to extend its functionality beyond the core ability to record and link audio to handwriting. Examples of this include translation tools to read and hear a phrase in Spanish, French, German, Japanese or Korean (Chinese? It's a biggie - just sayin'). Plus education tools to help with geometry and chemistry as you write it and games such as Blackjack, Video Poker and Hangman. There are even music apps!
"The initial set of more than 30 applications only begins to tap the potential of the Livescribe smartpen platform," said Byron Connell, chief marketing officer of Livescribe. "We look forward to seeing our community of more than 5,500 registered developers create, develop and distribute the next generation of innovative paper-based computing applications to come."
The launch comes as part and parcel of the newly launched v2.0 Livescribe software and proves one key point: there is and always will be a fine line between genius and madness. Where that line is, is up to you!

Adult Entertainment
These days, burlesque is a term as abused as a strippers feet at the end of a night in clear heels. Oops, that was a bad comparison especially because, dammit, despite all the misuse, burlesque is not, in fact, a euphemism for stripping. In its classical form, the term referred to a grown-up variety show full of bawdy humor, music, and any number of miscellaneous acts. Sure, this included the occasional skin-showing female dance, but that was only part of it. Stand-up comedy as we know it sprung partly from the burlesque circuit of the early 20th Century. Good Theatre, a one-off event this Thursday at Churchills Pub, aims to resurrect that multidisciplinary spirit under the tag line adult theater for adult audiences. The evening of performances will be spearheaded by Billie Bee Good and Izzy Rich of the Glamour Goddesses. Thats a local burlesque troop that not only hopes to revive the art forms traditions but also do it with a more colorful and shapely range of performers than other groups. Theyll be joined by friends Tania Sofia Luna, Angie Z, and Holly Peno of Shameless Burlesque, along with sultry sirens Audrey Hipbone and Isadora Bull, for a collection of skits, jokes, and dances. The musical soundtrack will come courtesy of the Campeones and the Midnight Hour, and early birds can score rum giveaways from 11 p.m. to midnight during a special Malibu Black tasting.

Norwich police in holiday spirit with 'Secret Santa' program
Norwich - A Santa suit hung on a nearby locker as Norwich Police Detective Damon Wallace made calls to arrange the delivery of gifts to needy families in the city as part of the department's "Secret Santa" program Thursday.
Officer Keven McNeill and volunteer Chaplain Gary Poorman delivered gifts to homes of children chosen by lottery from those identified to the department by the schools. Norwich Police Detective Damon Wallace, who organizes the annual gift-giving event, said families were chosen by staff at the city's elementary schools and gifts were donated anonymously by local businesses.
Any business or individual who would like to get involved in next year's event is encouraged to contact Detective Wallace at (860) 886-5561.

I would like to share with you a decision that I have made and feel very good about: I will retire from the city at the end of this year. We have come a long, long way in making New Haven a better place and our city is now in much better position than it was 20 years ago when I first took office. At that time, many downtown businesses and employers were moving out of the city and filing for bankruptcy. Now, our downtown is one of the most heavily residential in the Northeast region; with thriving local and national businesses and the development of a bio-medical economic sector for the city and region.
Our city's schools, once crumbling, leaking and antiquated structures now provide a comfortable, safe and welcoming environment for learning. New Haven school children now have 37 new schools that are safe, modern structures that are conducive to learning. Equally important is what is happening in these buildings: our nationally acclaimed School Change initiative is producing early results. The four-year graduation rate for New Haven Public Schools is now at 70.5% and our student achievement rate is twice that of the state average. New Haven Promise is helping families in our city by covering college tuition costs. These students aren�t just starting college, they are staying in college. Of the first cohort of Promise scholars who began college last year, 85% have entered their sophomore year.
New Haven can be viewed as a �laboratory for change� in that we�ve taken a proactive role addressing social issues--often long before these issues are addressed nationally. In this sense, the policies we have instituted on issues such as civil unions, a living wage, re-entry work and resident ID cards have informed and shaped the national dialogue and policy creation on these issues.
I look forward to continuing to work hard for New Haven over the next year. Our city has a strong civic fiber and I expect more great things for New Haven in the future. I'd like to thank the residents and organizations who have worked over the years � and continue to work�to transform ideas into realities and make our city a better place.
Community Conversation on Violence �TODAY!
People from across the state and on various �sides� of the gun control debate will come together to talk about violence, its impact on us and what measures can be taken to reduce it.
The New Haven Independent and WTNH created this forum to provide a thoughtful, respectful and passionate debate about where Connecticut should go next in the search for solutions regarding gun violence. The forum will include a live panel discussion, live audience, live bloggers and will air live on WTNH.
This "Town Hall" meeting will happen today, Wednesday January 30th, at 4pm at Cooperative Arts & Humanities High School at the corner of College and Crown streets. The public is welcome to attend this free event.
FREE Tax Preparation Centers Now Open Across New Haven!
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Centers are now open across the city. VITA provides free federal and state tax return preparation to households earning less than $51,000 per year. Taxes are prepared by IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers at many convenient locations throughout the region.

I've noticed recently that the design mockups show the placement shifted closer to the collarbone as opposed to across the chest. I thought it was just the mockup, until I got my fresh cake and compared it to the prior print. The new placement is about an inch higher. Since it's in the mockup, I can only assume it's intentional. My question is why.
Volunteer Moderator
No idea ... but yeah, they're definitely shifted up and some slight shading differences too.
MXL for comparison. Olive shirt is a moderately worn later production run.
MM for comparison. Olive shirt is an unworn first production run.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The 2013 Patriots remind me of Dice K in 2008 when he went 18-3, but seemingly had the bases loaded against him every inning – how are they doing it?
* Good second half
* Not reading defenses and blitzes as well this year
* Brady's lack of accuracy caused Thompkins injury
* Touchdown to Gronk – terrible pass forcing an open Gronk to make an amazing catch
* He keeps winning
* How about that Jim Nance run by James Develin
* Edelman as Dan Dierdorf said is a real football player
* Patriots are on pace to win twelve games without one pro-bowler on offense (maybe Solder but his game has depreciated)
* They won't win a playoff game unless they fix the defensive line – Vellano should just lie down and at least make them jump over him
* Another average game for Hightower
* McCourty took a couple Tebucky angles
* 2:14 of first quarter
* 13:09 of fourth quarter
* Two penalties in game – none on Patriots
* Good to see Ridley not fumble that ball on the sideline – his hat lid was broken?
* Patriots MVP so far is no doubter – Gostkowski
* How boring is it to watch a Patriot kickoff return?
* No flag on the interference on Edelman's fair catch – big play
* Gronk won't make it to the playoffs – again.
* Peyton is motivated never to visit Foxboro again – 5 TD's
* Rex Ryan just moved closer to his new job working at a women's shoe store (would you hire Rex Ryan to run the Patriots defense?)
* Happy for Matt Cassel to get a win (I always find it interesting when I feel bad for people making $5mm for playing sports)
* Record of Denver's remaining opponents 16-32 / Record of Patriots remaining opponents 20-28
* Wes Welker's last four games 18 receptions / 162 yards / 0 TD
This weekend is why it's the greatest sport – maybe the greatest weekend in College Football history – certainly the greatest finish in College Football history:
* If you get a chance – YouTube video of fans watching the last seconds
* Look at these games – LSU over Arkansas 41-38 / Oregon over Oregon State 36-35 / Ohio State over Michigan 42-41 / Duke over N. Carolina 27-25 / Auburn over Alabama 34-28
* Although Boston College lost they gained my admiration without their star and a hostile opponent they matched them punch for punch
* Eight team playoff would look like this: Florida State vs. South Carolina / Ohio State vs. Stanford / Auburn vs. Oklahoma State / Alabama vs. Missouri
2011 – 62.4%
2012 – 57.5%
2013 – 47.8%
* Celtics 23% through season and on pace for a record of 30-52
* Bruins 33% through season and on pace for a record of 55-21-6
* ML Carr's Celtics were 5-14 after nineteen games – this year 7-12
Watching the Auburn run-back is one of those really special moments in sports – other sports plays that made me stand from my chair.
* Mickey Ward – Atturo Gatti Round 9 first round
* Hagler – Hearns
* David Ortiz home run in Game 4 vs. Yankees
* Bobby Orr's end to end goal and behind the net
* Salazar – Beardsley Duel in the Sun 1982 Boston Marathon
* Celtics – Lakers DJ hits shot to win in at Forum
* Bird's game winner in Dallas after getting hit in the eye and seeing two rims
* Clemens 20 strike out game
* Pedro's All Star performance
* Tebucky Jones' return fumble TD vs . Rams that was called back (I thought I was on my way to see Elizabeth)
* Pete Sampras vs. Alex Corretja
* Ryder Cup Brookline
From CBS – Patriots are 46-6 in December since 2001 – are you kidding me?
Red Sox offseason after 1966:
* Managerial prospects: Ted Williams, Yogi Berra, Same Mele, Dick Williams
* First thing Dick Williams did as manager – strip Yaz of captaincy / threaten to move him to 6th in line up / it was more likely that Yaz was to be traded than not
* Dick Williams said he wouldn't be afraid to slap players
April 1947 – Jackie Robinson's first appearance in Boston to play against the Braves – Boston businessman Anselmo Krigger from the West End bought over a 100 tickets and presented Branch Rickey flowers for giving Jackie the opportunity.
* MIAA screws it up again – one of the most unique aspects of Massachusetts high school football (Massachusetts sports) is Thanksgiving games and the overseers of sports rendered them meaningless by playing playoff games before them
* Fast and Furious isn't so fast and furious – how many kids have raced and crashed after watching those movies
* Gary Danielson about the Alabama team on the field at the end "there are no athletes on the field – just fat guys"
* I like the Tundra pick up truck ad campaign going backwards in time building race track back yard
* It's outrageous that networks go to commercial after a touchdown and then again after the subsequent kickoff (which is usually a touchback)
* How is there even a discussion – Orr vs. Gretzky?
* Is there a hot turkey sandwich rehab center?
* Pacers on pace for 77 wins this year
* Movie this weekend Philomena with Judi Dench B+ / popcorn A+ (Dedham Community)

About Tom Brady's completion rate, it's hard to compare this year to 2 years ago – he doesn't have the receivers he used to. Also, the protection is often inadequate this year compared to 2011, causing him to throw the ball more quickly than he may have planned.
REPLY – MPC – Both fair points
So Bobby Orr's last full season was 1976. He was 28 years old. Up to that point, he had won three MVP awards and two Stanley Cups. By the time Wayne Gretzky was 28, he had won NINE MVP awards and four Stanley Cups! So you are right – it's not even close.
REPLY – MPC -Gretzky is a one way player who circled the offensive end looking for loose pucks – Orr was physical, fought, the greatest skater of all time, scorer, passer, greatest defender, – gretzky might not even have been the best player on his team of 8-10 Hall of Famers – Orr had Espo – same argument as Montana and Brady – give Brady those receivers he would be at 70,000 yards

Ok, i did some more research (hard with little spare time i have), and i found about rainbowcrack which will let me make my own SHA1 hash table i need for wpa? On the official site i don't see nvidia cuda version for linux, only windows.
The hash must include SSID as well, correct? Those rainbow tables on the official site don't inlcude ssid for computation, making them useless for wpa?
Would anyone be kind to explain how to make the hash table defining only alphanumerical characters (with or without rainbowcrack program, but with cuda support). Am i on the right track for this? I'd like to do some company testing. Thx

Center for Philosophy
and the
Natural Sciences
ST4320: U.C. Berkeley - Graduate Theological Union
Orthodox Christianity and Modern Science - SPRING 2015
Patriarch Athenagoras Orthodox Institute
This course explores the nature of the relationship between modern science and Orthodox Christian theology, with particular emphasis given to recent advances in fundamental physics and cosmology. In dialogue with the western scholastic tradition, we will not only engage in comparison and contrast; we will also examine the extent to which both traditions can be correlated as mutually supportive, complementary approaches that together enable unique solutions to problems not easily attended to by either tradition exclusively.
Despite the increasing breadth and depth of scholarship exploring an integrative relationship of Christian theology and modern science, the waters remain stubbornly turbulent. Whatever the particular countercurrent—political, theological, ideological, scientistic, or some combination of these—the trajectories leading to fundamental disengagement can all be traced back to a common first principle: The dualistic separation of faith and reason. The western scholastic tradition has carefully defined specific bridges spanning this dualism, and in recent history these bridges have served as a foundation for the Roman Catholic integration of science and Christian theology.
By contrast, the Orthodox theological tradition has characterized faith and reason not as a metaphysical dualism of mutual exclusion determined by the particular object of experience (Divine or Natural), but rather as a duality of mutual implication in every act of experience—i.e., a duality without reduction to dualism. This course will explore the ways in which the Orthodox understanding of the relationship between faith and reason, and its unique emphasis of experience in the integration of faith and reason, can be fruitfully applied to the current science and religion debate in complementary relation to the western scholastic approach—particularly with respect to the unique problems raised by modern physics and cosmology.
History 107: History of the Physical Sciences
California State University Sacramento
In recent decades, the physical sciences and the technologies borne of them have become so highly formalized and proprietary that it is often the case that even professional scientists have little understanding of fundamental scientific theories beyond the scope of their own specialties. Thus, as our worldview becomes more and more centered upon science and technology, the average person is ironically expected to understand less and less about that worldview. One might therefore anticipate that as science continues to evolve, our engagement of it will likely steadily drift more and more toward passive, uncritical inheritance rather than active participation. But the history of the evolution of our current scientific worldview reveals a very different story—one where it is not only the science that drives the worldview, but also one in which the worldview drives the science.
In this course, we will study the historical evolution of the intuitive (i.e., in the Greek sense of careful koinos nous or careful 'common sense'--classically logically reasonable) conceptual foundations of modern physics, including the special and general theories of relativity and the latest interpretations of quantum mechanics. We will trace this evolution from its origins in ancient natural philosophy, through the medieval and early modern periods and the Enlightenment, up to the present day. Along the way, we will see that even though this historical evolution entails a succession of scientific revolutions, the underlying conceptual frameworks that survived this process were always fundamentally intuitive in the sense described above—i.e., accessible via classical logical reasoning. This fact has important implications for the continued evolution and popular understanding of the physical sciences.
History 104A: History of Ancient Science
California State University Sacramento
An examination of the historical foundations and evolution of ancient science, from the natural philosophy of the Presocratics to post-Aristotelian thought, with emphasis on issues relating to Greek physics, medicine, and mathematics. In particular, we will explore the ways in which the conceptual frameworks underlying ancient Greek philosophy of nature (what we call 'science' today) evolved into the medieval period, were later challenged by the scientific revolution of the early modern period, and then partially rehabilitated in modern science in several fundamental areas, including current theories of complex natural systems and quantum physics.
History 104B: History of Medieval Science
California State University Sacramento
This course explores the medieval evolution of the key conceptual frameworks underlying ancient Greek natural philosophy (what we call 'science' today). In particular, we will examine the ways in which this evolution was initially propelled via the translations from Greco-Islamic natural philosophy, the integration of this philosophy with Christian Latin civilization in Western Europe, and the refinement of this integration via the invention of the university in 1088. Central to our investigation will be the specific ways in which this medieval evolution of natural philosophy was foundational to the scientific revolution that followed it—i.e., the often overlooked evolution of ancient and medieval ideas within this revolution.
History 104C: History of Modern Physical Science
California State University Sacramento
This course explores the historical evolution of contemporary physical science from its innovative conceptual foundations in the early modern period. Along the way, we will examine the ways in which these revolutionary innovations themselves can be seen as evolutionary innovations—a history of natural philosophical inquiry and methodology that can be traced back through the medieval period to antiquity. Some of these revolutionary/evolutionary innovations include the replacement of geocentric cosmology with heliocentrism, the rise of the hypothetico-deductive 'scientific' method, the development of new techniques and technologies of observation, and the rise of formal mathematical models. While past historians of science had established the conventional term "Scientific Revolution" to collectively describe these innovations, modern scholarship in history and philosophy of science (HPS), which more rigorously examines both the history and the conceptual content of scientific ideas, has done much to illuminate the evolutionary character of these innovations. As a result, contemporary history and philosophy of science recognizes that the rise of modern science is understood properly not as a single historical period in time, but rather as an extensive process of formal, natural philosophical inquiry whose roots
begin in antiquity and whose ascent and role in society continues to evolve.

Philosophy of science involves more than just the study of the philosophical problems inherent in the nature and methodology of scientific reasoning, which is one of the topics we will explore in this course; it also involves the study of the conceptual foundations, presuppositions, and implications of the theories that form the core framework by which the physical world is understood by the natural sciences in general. Whatever one might say of this framework, in the practice of modern science, it is understood to be physically causal, conceptually logical, and mathematically describable--yet impossible to reduce fully to any of these features. This provides an important clue to their relationship in both the philosophy and practice of modern science, and is a central topic in this course.
Philosophy 27: Early Modern Philosophy
California State University Sacramento
In this course we will examine the ways in which the scientific and political innovations of 16th, 17th, and 18th century Europe both influenced and were influenced by the rationalist and empiricist philosophical traditions that competed and flourished during this period. We will study the works of several philosophers working within these two traditions as they struggled to make sense of the scientific and social revolutions sweeping through their world; and we will see how their work would, in turn, help shape these revolutions, even as they continue to evolve today. One focus of the course, then, will be to examine the ways in which these philosophical traditions have maintained their relevance and influence in our own millennium as 21st century science struggles with its most difficult questions yet.
Our survey will entail a careful reading and critique of the metaphysical and epistemological schemes developed by key philosophers of the early modern period, beginning with the work of Bacon, Galileo, and Descartes and concluding with Kant and his revolutionary synthesis of the rationalist and empiricist worldviews.
Philosophy 25: Ancient Philosophy
California State University Sacramento
In this course we will examine the origin of Western philosophy by carefully surveying ancient Hellenic theories of knowledge and existence. Our survey will begin with the Milesian School, continue through the pre-Socratic philosophers and Plato, and conclude with the philosophy of Aristotle.
Philosophy 131: Philosophy of Religion
California State University Sacramento
To what extent do religious prescriptions for 'how things should be' derive from philosophical descriptions of 'how things are?' If natural philosophy is understood to be descriptive of nature, and religion is understood as intending to be explicative of nature (and explicative of the descriptions given by philosophy), then the relationship among philosophy, science, and religion might be mutually illuminative. This course will examine this relationship from the standpoint of metaphysics as a bridge between philosophical theology and natural philosophy.
Philosophy 2: Philosophical Ethics
California State University Sacramento
When we strive to live as ethical individuals, or struggle to promote a more ethical society, upon what foundation do we secure our principles? Do we primarily use reason to deduce them from some deeper, more fundamental set of philosophical principles, themselves similarly deduced? Or do we primarily inherit our ethical principles from theological tradition as revealed truths rather than reasoned truths? If the answer is both, then where and how do these methods intersect? Can 'revealed' ethical principles be analyzed rationally? Do 'reasoned' philosophical principles involve faith-based presuppositions (e.g., belief that the universe is truly a 'reasonable' and 'objectively real' place)?
In this course we will examine these and related questions by surveying the works of several major thinkers in philosophical ethics, from the Classical and Hellenistic periods through the 20th Century. Along the way, we'll apply our analyses to several present-day ethical controversies which we will examine within the context of our readings.
Philosophy 101: Ethics & Social Issues
California State University Sacramento
In this course, we begin with the notion that our ethical principles and the opinions and actions they generate can and should be rationally justified. We will then explore and critique several competing systems of thought by which we might do so, particularly as regards the moral controversies that divide society today, such as abortion, the death penalty, affirmative action, sexism, war and peace. Our discussions will emphasize an analytical and critical discussion of those philosophical theories and competing viewpoints most popular in contemporary American culture.
Philosophy 6: Introduction to Philosophy
California State University Sacramento
If you are tempted to divide your college courses into those that are 'useful' and those that are 'useless,' beware! If you believe that the useful courses are only those that describe how the world works (including how you work)—economics, chemistry, marketing, biology, business, engineering—consider this: Thinking about why the world is the way it is could be a big advantage in understanding how the world works the way it does. Some might even say that describing how without exploring why is no real knowledge at all—or even more severely, in the words of Socrates, that "…an unexamined life is not worth living."
In this course, we will examine some of the why questions that lie at the very heart of all the useful courses: What does it all matter? Is it all matter? Is mind matter? If it's all matter, including me, why am I free and conscious and a computer isn't? Could one ever be? What kind of being am I? Am I a body, or do I have a body? What does it mean to know something correctly? How do we know a 'fact of knowledge' is really knowledge of a fact? Does reason have rules? What is the good life? Can there be good without evil? Would the useful courses even exist today without the useless ones taught ages and ages ago?
The Metaphysics Behind Quantum Mechanics-II
University of Chicago - Graham School - Spring 2004
Reductionism, mechanism, materialism... These are the bedrock concepts upon which modern science has been erected over the past 400 years. We understand the whole by understanding its more fundamental parts. But what does it mean when the physics by which we describe and understand the whole is found to be incompatible with the physics by which we describe and understand the parts? Such incompatibility is, for many, the defining feature of the relationship between classical and quantum mechanics. Recent years, however, have brought new interpretations of quantum theory which suggest a simple and intuitive way by which we might bridge the realms of the quantum and the classical--a bridge which might one day lead physics to its long sought-after goal of providing a truly coherent and unified description of nature.
This course will offer an introduction to quantum mechanics for non-specialists by way of these modern, metaphysically coherent interpretations--interpretations developed by theorists including Nobel laureate Murray Gell-Mann, Robert Griffiths, Roland Omnes, Wojciech Zurek, and others. We will examine the way in which these new interpretations bridge quantum and classical mechanics--a way suggestive of a coherent, logical, and empirically adequate metaphysical scheme.
The Metaphysics Behind Quantum Mechanics-I
University of Chicago - Graham School - Winter 2004
The ages-old partnership between speculative philosophy and the natural sciences has endured a great many adventures throughout the millennia; and if there is a single Ariadnian thread by which we might retrace those steps, it is the concept of mechanistic-materialism. Its endurance throughout the past 2600 years derives from its intuitive and ever-reliable three-way bridging of scientific prediction and description of nature, and philosophical explanation of nature--a bridging of the Platonic chasm separating what appears to be from what is reasoned to be. By the time this journey had stretched into the 17th century, the classical physics of Newton and Galileo would seem intuitively reasonable, as would the mechanistic-materialistic worldview it presupposed and exemplified. And in the 20th century, it was assumed that quantum physics would also find its home in the framework of mechanistic-materialism. But after several decades of work, it has not, as evinced by the many notorious quantum-classical paradoxes, dualisms and other fundamental conceptual difficulties such as the infamous 'problem of measurement.'
This course will examine the difficulties of the modern mechanistic-materialistic interpretation of quantum mechanics, and explore recent alternatives.
and 21st Century Science
of Chicago - Graham School - Spring 2003
do modern cosmological models have to say about creatio ex nihilo?
What does quantum mechanics have to say about the functions of freedom
and determination in the birth of the universe, its ongoing evolution,
and its ultimate fate? What does complexity theory have to say about
the evolution of life and the various 'argument by design' approaches
to the question of the existence and nature of God? This course
will examine these and other questions raised by current conversations
among philosophy, science, and religion.
in Science and Religion:
Religion and the History, Methods, and Theories of Modern Science
of Chicago - Graham School - Spring 2003
physics, metaphysics, and religion offer mutually incompatible explanations
of the universe, then the science and religion dialogue is of dubious
value. But if physics is understood to be descriptive of nature,
and metaphysics and religion are understood to be explicative of
nature (and explicative of the descriptions given by physics), then
the science and religion dialogue is not only reasonable; it might
even be useful. This course will examine the historical evolution
of these two competing characterizations of the relations among
science, philosophy, and religion.

The nightly Chinese assaults would advance and recede with each passing day--a relentless tide that would churn up a roiling, bloody flurry of hand to hand combat. On the night of the first attack, June 10, 1953, the Chinese had outnumbered Harry's defenders by 30 to 1. "All total, there was a reinforced CCF regiment of approximately 3,600 enemy trying to kill just over 100 of us," said Captain Martin Markley, commander of K Company, 15th Infantry Regiment. "There was no time to formally prepare the troops spiritually for the possibility of their death in the battle that was about to take place." By morning, all but a dozen GIs had been killed or severely wounded. But they had held the hill.
The relentless attacks would continue throughout the week, each evening bringing a flood of Chinese soldiers pouring through barbed wire, and on the worst nights, into Harry's trenches. "We could see them out there near the wire, falling right on top of each other. It just wasn't human," said Pvt. William McLennan, 3rd Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, "I guess they wanted Harry. But they didn't get it. They told us to hold it. We did."
On the seventh day of the siege, Outpost Harry's defiant, week-long survival and its continued defense were entrusted to the Greek soldiers of Peter Company, Sparta Battalion. Just before the midnight hour of June 17, an entire regiment of nearly 3000 Chinese soldiers burst forth from their positions and stormed the hill's northern slope. According to official U.S. military records, "Company P of the Greek Battalion, refusing to withdraw, closed in and met the attackers in a furious hand to hand struggle in which many of the enemy were driven off. The aggressors regrouped, quickly attacked a second time, and again gained the friendly trenches. Immediately, the Greek Forces launched a series of counterattacks. After two hours of close-in fighting, the aggressors were again routed and the friendly positions restored."
It was the last defeat the Chinese Communist Forces could endure in their pursuit of Outpost Harry. Their failed adventure had, in eight days, cost them 4200 casualties. Their entire 74th Division had been decimated. And for the first time in the annals of U.S. military history, five rifle companies together—four American and one Greek—would receive the prestigious Distinguished Unit Citation for the outstanding performance of their shared mission.
Despite its unparalleled intensity, the heroism it engendered, and the international camaraderie uniting its brothers-in-arms, the siege of Outpost Harry is a battle unknown to most, in a war too many have since forgotten. Director-producer Christos Epperson and writer-producer Michael Epperson are proud to announce a new documentary film project dedicated to telling this inspirational story, through interviews with its American and Greek veterans and dramatic re-enactments of key events of the battle. The project was inspired by executive producer Mike Pagomenos, whose father George, an Outpost Harry survivor, recently published his Korean War journal in the Greek language. Following closely in the wake of critical acclaim for the Epperson brothers' recent World War II documentary, The 11th Day, Archangel Films looks forward to sharing a never-before-seen glimpse into the harrowing ordeal these Greek and American veterans of the Forgotten War met with such courage, and endured with such sacrifice.
During our first year of production, we have filmed interviews of nearly 50 veterans in the U.S. and in Greece, and organized the first-ever Reunion of Greek Veterans of Outpost Harry, held September 16th and 17th
2006 in Gazi, Heraklion Prefecture,
Crete, Greece. This was exactly 53 years
and 3 months to the day that Peter
Company of Sparta Battalion walked
onto Outpost Harry.
The reunion generated great publicity in the Greek news media, with Metropolitan Sotirios of the Greek Orthodox Church in Korea making the long journey to Greece to attend.
Also in attendance was Captain Stephen Sale, Commander of the U.S. Naval Base in Souda Bay, along with U.S. veterans of the Battle for Outpost Harry.
Medals were awarded to the Greek Sparta Battalion veterans by their American counterparts--an award long overdue. We were proud to help make this happen as a part of our film.
Interviews for the Outpost Harry
documentary were carried out in the
Anoghia Suite of the Apollonia Beach Hotel in Amoudara, 9/14-9/18, 2006.

Kate Moss Stars in 2013 Rag & Bones Campaign
Sick of Old Man Winter? We are, too. Lucky for all, Rag & Bone's spring/summer 2013 campaign has just been released — and thanks to Kate Moss, it's haute!
The veteran supermodel took the brand back to its British roots for the ad, posing in Cotswolds for the relaxed photo shoot.
Moss worked with photographer Alasdair McLellan for the project, which yieled picture perfect results. Rag & Bone's managing partner Marcus Wainwright explained, "We shot our first campaign on a deserted North London street so thought it would be an interesting contrast to follow up in a remote English village, which Kate happens to have an affinity for. It was also a fun play on our British heritage."
Partner David Neville added, "The spirit of the images is definitely consistent with the first campaign. We got lucky with the natural light on the day and captured some cool, natural smiling shots of Kate in her home environment."

Once upon a time, you might have thought you could get away with a single user ID and password for all your favorite Web sites. Then, the popular gossip Web site Gawker was hacked, and more than a million user IDs and passwords were revealed. Would it surprise you to know that many people used those same user IDs and passwords on many other far more important sites such as their bank accounts?
I could lecture you about how dumb that is, about how you need to use different passwords for different sites; that you need to pick passwords other than those old favorites, "123456" and "password; and how you should change your passwords every month for every site, but what's the point?
[ See also: The case for lousy passwords ]
Leaving aside that most people are lousy at security, can anyone really keep in their heads the dozens of passwords you need for your bank, Facebook, Twitter, office e-mail server, Gmail, phone, electric, 401(k), LinkedIn, ITworld and countless other accounts? Who can manage to remember dozens of IDs and passwords for dozens of sites outside of savants such as the fictional Raymond Babbitt? I'll tell you who: No one.
So what can you do to use safe passwords on the Internet without driving yourself crazy trying to remember all of them? There are several ways to try to do it and here's my list.
[ See also: Password management: How the pros store their passwords ]
Do it yourself
Write out a list of account numbers, IDs and passwords. I don't mean a physical list, though, that's classic idiot security. Make the list on your computer and encrypt it with a program like TrueCrypt, which can be used on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows; or AxCrypt, FolderLock or PGP Whole Disk Encryption which are Windows-only programs.
These programs can also be handy for keeping snoopers out of your computer's data if someone swipes your PC. This kind of approach doesn't work easily with Web sites though and, if you're like me, you may also have doubts about the wisdom of using programs that encrypt your entire hard drive. So, you may want to look into password management programs.
There are two kinds of basic password management programs. First, there's local, where the passwords or their encrypted versions, are stored on your local hard drive or on a portable device such as a USB key-drive. The other is to use a Web-based program to store and manage your passwords.
Local password management
There are dozens of PC-based password management programs. While I have some recommendations, there are several important features to look for before you buy or start using password management. These include: encrypting files that contain passwords; restricted access to the management program and its password files; and using one-way cryptographic hashes for password storage instead of storing the passwords themselves.

Sad to see that no new theme decided to change the layout, it's all that obsolete placement of a huge map on top, above list entries. Why is it so hard to at least give the option to show the map on the side (sidebar) while scrolling down through the list entries?
Do you mean something like this?
that's cool, we'll try also try to create a version like this for both of our directory themes,
the only inconvenience / limitation with this layout is when it comes to mobile view, the map cannot stay on the left side otherwise the UX is poor so it needs to either be on top and listings under it or vice-versa
anyway thanks guys for sharing this screenshot it's inspiring and good luck when you publish it

Clint Rutkas pointed out that Windows Live Writer has a plug-in that uses Jean-Claude Manoli's library: Insert Code for Windows Live Writer. So far, I haven't been using Windows Live Writer although everyone recommends it; now I have a compelling reason to check it out!

Hi Guys,
I'm working on a design for a text editor that allows people to view the text files of friends and then give comments and tips on it. I'm not on dribbble or frrst. So I thought why not post it here (again :P). Some feedback would be great I wasn't so sure about some things. I'm still working on it and feedback is always great. If you're not a designer please also let me know what you think everyone has a taste right? Thanks in advance guys!
PS. Here are some things I wasn't sure about myself.
- The font type, size etc bg is empty now - The blue notification
Looking great!
It's looking awesome amazing so far!
Thanks for the kind words guys! I edited some things like the text size and the tooltip size to make it more readable and the text was actually 14px I changed that to 12px. I also changed the background of the font-type etc from noting to a gradient. I will repost it when it's done. Does anyone has any suggestions or critism? Thanks!
yup looking good
good work
Hi guys I did some changes today. Feedback, anyone?

The winningest season in St. John Fisher College men's lacrosse history may have came to an end today, as the top-seeded Cardinals dropped a 12-11 decision to No. 4 Ithaca College at Fisher's Growney Stadium in the Semifinals of the Empire 8 Conference Championship.
With the win, Ithaca College advances to Sunday's title game and will play at No. 2 Rochester Institute of Technology at 12 p.m.
With the loss, Fisher, ranked No. 11 in the latest USILA poll, will wait until Sunday night to see if it has earned one of five at-large bids to the NCAA Division III Championship. The Cardinals (16-2) have already set a College-record for most wins and best winning percentage in the program's nine-year history.
Fisher, who led 3-2 after the first quarter, pushed its lead to 4-2 less than two minutes into the second quarter on a goal from Ryan Schmidt.
Ithaca, however, scored the game's next three goals – all of which came in 1:55 span -- to take a 5-4 lead with 9:04 left in the second quarter.
The Cardinals, who tied the game at 5s, 6s, 7s and 8s, regained the lead at 9-8 with 5:16 remaining in the third quarter on another goal from Schmidt.
Fisher never led again though, as Ithaca scored the game's next three goals, pushing its lead to 11-9 two minutes into the four quarter on a goal from Mike Silipo.
Kyle Denhoff scored his 46th goal of the season with 11:52 remaining, but Ithaca went back up two with 10:03 left on Devin Weinshank's third goal of the day.
Schmidt scored his fifth goal of the game with 7:08 remaining, but neither team scored the rest of the game.
Fisher gained an extra-man opportunity with 37 seconds left but failed to capitalize, turning the ball over.
The Cardinals regained possession with 11.2 seconds left and went the length of the field, but a shot from Schmidt sailed just wide as the final horn sounded.
Ryan Schmidt led Fisher with seven points on five goals and two assists, while Denhoff and Chris Schmidt each added two goals. Jeff Price added one goal and one assist, while Kory Smart also scored.
Jon Cortina stopped seven shots in the loss.
Erich Rassow won 20-of-27 face-offs and scooped up eight ground


text: My throttle springs are pretty spring loaded, it takes a lot of effort to keep this thing going after an hour or two, i would like to find a setup with two cables(one to open and the other to close the throttle) that requires less tension to ride with. I know the kz900 has one but they are slide throttles as opposed to butterflies. Any suggestions would be nice, thanks.

It's never too late for an engagement shoot… even if the wedding is in two days! Yesterday I met with Lauren and John for a quick enagement session which also works really well as a "dress rehearsal" for their wedding on Saturday. I really like to do engagement sessions with my wedding couples because they get to know me, my style of shooting and they will feel more comfortable with me on their wedding day. It's a great way to get to know each other in a relaxed setting AND get some great photos!
Since John and Lauren were in Boston for school we weren't able to meet up until yesterday. I hadn't seen Lauren in almost a year… although through the power of Facebook I feel like I've gotten to know her and hear the details of the wedding planning. =) This was the first time I met John and see them together as a couple. I knew I was excited about their wedding before seeing them together but now I can't wait (only one more day)!! They are so sweet together and so in love…
I met John and Lauren at Lauren's parents' house as they were getting ready for a big family dinner. I figured it was be nice for them to escape for a little while so we headed to a nearby park.
There were tons of pretty trees, green grass and a creek but I loved this shack right in the middle of it all. =)
She's going to be a gorgeous bride!
If you're wondering if there is a light at the end of the tunnel… there is. =) Another random find at the park!
We headed back to the parent's house for a few more shots. Lauren's mom has a beautiful garden in the yard. I'm pretty sure I was stepping in the herb garden to get this shot! Don't worry, I wasn't steeping on any herbs. =)

WOOSTER -- The community is invited to come to a party with their friends and neighbors, all in an effort to raise funds for one of Wayne County's most needed organizations, on Jan. 28.
The annual Viola Startzman Free Clinic's A Meal that Heals fundraiser will be held at TJ's Trio of Restaurants from 1-9 p.m. on Jan. 28 to support the facility's continued support of providing health care to low-income, uninsured Wayne County residents.
"A Meal that Heals is an enjoyable event because it feels like a party with friends and neighbors," said Alicia Wallace, treasurer of the volunteer-based Free Clinic Network. "Guests get a great meal, entertainment and the opportunity to win fabulous prizes, all with the benefit of knowing you are supporting a good cause. The whole community comes together -- business community members, educators, the medical community, Free Clinic staff and volunteers. The Wooster Oilers are helping direct traffic in the parking lot again this year. You can't walk through the restaurant without seeing multiple people you know."
For $28, patrons to the event will receive a full-course dinner, which includes the choice of a chicken, Certified Angus Beef strip steak or salmon entree, salad, bread and non-alcoholic beverage. Vegetarian and/or take-out meals are also available.
Local "celebrities" will be on hand, acting as bartenders for the event, and musicians will be showcasing their talents throughout A Meal that Heals to keep attendees entertained. Scheduled to perform are Good Vibes and Wendy Barlow/Bob Bellamy.
"And because there is no live auction or program, it doesn't feel like a fundraising event -- just a fun and relaxing evening with friends," Wallace said. "And, TJs's staff does a terrific job of making everyone feel welcome and keeping things moving."
One of those staff members at TJ's who works tirelessly to ensure A Meal that Heals goes off without a hitch is the restaurant's office manager, Angie McPhern, who said the ultimate goal is seeing the patrons leave satisfied.
"With my job at TJs I have had the pleasure of helping many couples plan their wedding reception," McPhern said. "We have couples tell us over and over again how their wedding was so special and they were able to enjoy it because of TJs. This is what we strive for with our food and service, and it is great when it all comes together."
A Wayne County native, McPhern graduated from Waynedale High School and continues to live in Apple Creek with her children, Ryan, 18; and twin daughters, Chloe and Lindsey, 14. Most of her family continues to live in the area, and she said she is very close with them, often taking family vacations together and supporting one another's children at school events.
When not working at TJs, McPhern can be found supporting her own children as president of the Waynedale Athletic Booster Club. She has also served as past president of Apple Creek PTO and is often involved in various fundraisers to benefit her kids' schools.
Her job is obviously one that constantly involves food, but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy going home and preparing it with her family.
"I enjoy baking with my girls, especially chocolate cake with a white fluffy frosting," she said. "If there is any left -- for the cake, that is -- they like to sample it along the way."
Besides chocolate cake, her family often enjoys eating pizza, stir-fry and wings.
Sponsors for this year's A Meal that Heals fundraiser are Flo and Stan Gault, the Romich Foundation, The Commercial and Savings Bank, Shisler's Cheese House and Certified Angus Beef.
Tickets are available at the Startzman Clinic, TJs, Buehler's Towne Market, Milltown and Orrville. For more information, contact Wallace at 330-345-7901.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
What did your blood work, x-rays, show?
Were you investigated for different arthritis?
Did you consult any specialist?
Are you diabetic?
Any significant past medical illness?
What are your present medications?
Did your symptoms precipitate due to injury at work or were aggravated by it?
Dr. Arun
Thanks for the detailed information.
Your symptoms should be looked for the following;
1) Rheumatoid arthritis
2) Lupus
3) Polymyositis
4) Ankylosing spondylitis
Following blood work would be warranted, if not yet done (these tests tell about the immune mediated arthritis): ANA Anti-dsDNA Anti-Sm Anti-SSA (Ro) or Anti-SSB (La) Anti-ribosomal P Anti-RNP Anticardiolipin Lupus anticoagulant Coombs test Anti-histone
RA factor
ESR Thyroid function tests
Your blood sugar was elevated and should be further investigated by;
1) Glycosylated hemoglobin; this tells about the average blood sugar of last three months.
2) Glucose tolerance test
Diabetes and immune mediated arthritis cause nerve affections, which is called as NEUROPATHY. Your symptoms aggravation especially after the injury can be due to the primary disease process as well as due to neuropathy. The specialist to consult would be rheumatologist. Your primary care physician should meanwhile get a blood estimation of vitamin B12 which also causes neuropathy and a DEXA scan. DEXA is a very specific test for osteoporosis and tells about it's extent, so depending on the severity, aggressive treatment can be done. Osteoporosis can again be an aggravating factor in your case, for all these symptoms. Please feel free for your follow up questions.Dr. Arun
Hello,People who have episodes of fatigue or tiredness (or persistent symptoms) need to be classified in;1) chronic fatigue syndrome; unexplained, persistent or relapsing fatigue with unrefreshing sleep, muscle pain, concentration problems, headache, sore throat etc.2) idiopathic fatigue; it does not meet the above criteria.Fibromyalgia, lupus, sleep disorders are the other disorders which should be looked for your symptoms.Following investigations are essential (most of these are common which we get for the immune mediated arthritis);1) Complete blood count, 2) Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), 3) Thyroid function tests, 4) Muscle enzymes; 5) Anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA)6) Adrenal function test7) Anti-dsDNA 8) Anti-Sm 9) Anti-SSA (Ro) or Anti-SSB (La) 10) Coombs test 11) Anti-histone
So fatigue basically is an overlapping symptoms for the immune mediated arthritis, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Many of the immune mediated arthritis affect the other organ systems of the body, including the gastrointestinal tract and affect the movements of the stomach and intestines. Thus they can be responsible for the bloating and constipation or diarrhea. If you have a documented iron deficiency anemia, this point to spondyloarthropathy, rheumatoid, lupus which are classically associated with it. So crux is thorough investigation and an appropriate specialist consultation.
If an ultrasound of the abdomen has not been done, should be done to rule out gall bladder stones with symptoms of bloating.It is pleasure and privilege assisting you.Dr. Arun
