Does science take away the 'magic' in life?
It seems in today's society we know everything from atoms to what caused life. But does this take away the 'magic', the passion, the wonder in life. for example, if you were to watch a sun set, we are told it is formed because of gravity's pull and the rotation of planets compared if we did not know the function we would simply stare in wonder. I am not saying science is bad but that it turns our view of our surroundings into a mechanical engineering system, a system relying on statistics and data only. making our world cold. religion has often been denied by science the belief in God since the enlightenment has made church attendance at a all time low. So should we go back to the stone age and stop innovation? of course not however, does science take away the 'magic' in life? if so, should we embrace it? what steps should we take to preserve the 'soul' of life?

May 14 2013: Rather than science somehow diminishing our sense of wonder, if anything I believe it has served to enhance it immeasurably. Think of some of the greatest works in art, say the Mona Lisa, the Last Supper or David. Would it not enhance your appreciation for these masterpieces if you actually were there watching the artist meticulously apply the brushstrokes or apply the chisel to marble? I think most of us would give all we have for the privilege to have been there, to have actually seen it go from the artist's mind to a tangible object. So too, to see a field full of sunflowers is truly awe inspiring. But to understand the underlying mathematics of their design - the Fibonacci sequence, the golden ratio - only serves to enhance the experience. The birth of a child is wondrous. To know how the reproductive processes work at the genetic level, the staggering complexity and near flawless precision necessary to pass on genetic instructions only serves to enhance that wonder. No, rather than the false contradictions that have been contrived to polarize science and wonder, a look beneath the immediately obvious has enhanced our wonder exponentially.May 14 2013: Nonsense!!! The fact that I know why the rainbow forms does not take away the joy of beholding one. The pleasure of laying down on the grass watching the stars is not diminished by the fact I know their nature. The "magic" of the moon lighting my way at night does not disappear just by knowing that light is reflected form the sun... I'm sorry but I don't agree with you, I think is quite the opposite.

For me the knowledge that science brings only magnifies the 'magic'. The more we find out, the less we know.
A hundred years ago a living cell was just a blob of yuk. Today it is a bustling miniature city; complex beyond our imaginings. Tomorrow? Goodness knows what we will find . In every age we have thought that science had the answer; partly it had, but things always seem to be more complex than we originally realise.
To me the world is largely a mechanical system, but sophisticated beyond our dreams. Yes, I believe MAGIC is an appropriate word.
May 12 2013: I would say science adds to the magic. The magic u describe is enhanced by my knowledge of what it is I'm observing. The drama of the sunset for example, the living juxtaposition of moving colors, clouds, the serenity of the calming horizon, the magnificence of the sun itself is not reduced, but enhanced because of my knowing the gases, the prizmatic bending of light, and the fact that the sun is not 'setting' but the horizon's moving up. My wonder and awe is magnified because of the miracle of the components before me. And if this is what I 'know' so far, what is yet to come?

May 12 2013: Isn't that the truth, Kate!
We just got a book from the library about the human body - it is a kick to look at the pictures and talk about how our body is so perfectly designed to do everything we need! It is truly amazing.
May 14 2013: "...unless we have a real illness..." There are those (I'm sure you're aware) that believe that the body has the ability to cure itself of all illness, that it is 'limited' because of our capacity to allow it to work properly, and that many (if not most) modern illness is a result of stress. Stress, it's believed, depletes the body's ability to ward off the invasion of disease. If we therefore reduce stress, we could be much healthier and happier. But of course, then we'd be 'happy' so we wouldn't need to buy a bunch of junk to try to appease our pain, and we'd be 'healthy' so wouldn't need so many health products and services - which I believe is the single largest profitable industry besides the military. Not very good for business! So plan on stress continuing and increasing. It helps us to be good citizens.

May 14 2013: Yours is definitely more accurate. I used 'citizens' from a quick vision while writing that our citizenry is defined by our participation in society, and I live in a consumer society. Not the best descriptive word for the point. Thnx.

May 11 2013: We may know what causes a beautiful sunset but to see one is magic and very special. So is the birth of a baby of any animal, or bird soaring through the air. Science is wonderful but it doesn't take away the wonder and magic.May 14 2013: I don't think so. I think it does the opposite. In attempting to understand the world, going beyond the superficial and in not being content with "Well, God did it" the world becomes more "magical" as you can find true wonderment in the complexity of life and everything in it. You've also got the excitement, enchantment and challenge of that which we do not know yet. Feynman compared how an artist perceived a flower's beauty, but it was only the look that they considered, a scientist, he argued, was exponentially captivated by everything else associated by the flower.

"God was invented to explain mystery. God is always invented to explain those things that you do not understand. Now, when you finally discover how something works, you get some laws which you're taking away from God; you don't need him anymore. But you need him for the other mysteries. So therefore you leave him to create the universe because we haven't figured that out yet; you need him for understanding those things which you don't believe the laws will explain, such as consciousness, or why you only live to a certain length of time--life and death -- stuff like that. God is always associated with those things that you do not understand. Therefore I don't think that the laws can be considered to be like God because they have been figured out." Richard P. Feynman
Rick May
May 14 2013: David: While I agree with the conclusion that understanding the science of a thing does not diminish its wonder, I do disagree with the conclusion that understanding function precludes the existence of a designer. This is akin to saying that since we understand how a car operates mechanically that the existence of an engineer is no longer required. Feynman's analysis of this matter has a flaw in its premise, namely that religious belief (i.e. God) was invented to explain the currently inexplicable. That simply does not match up with the historical facts, namely that the leading inquisitors into the mysteries of the universe were those of deeply held religious convictions who sought to understand the mysteries of the universe as a means of peering into the thinking of the Creator. While religious organizations have acted shamefully in this respect, individual men and women of science and faith sought to understand such mysteries an an enhancement to, not a replacement of, their faith.
- +2
May 20 2013: Rick,
A car is designed a tree is not no are they the "same" thing. True many of the great scientist of the past held religious convictions, but if you take forr example Newton has religions feelings at the boundaries of his knowledge , but when he talks about motion there is no reference to God(s) or neither when he talks about the two body force (gravitation that he deduced, there is no mention of God(s). Why because he had his mind wrapped around the subject like a vise grip, even thou that in his time iit was a commonplace to render those subjects to the divine.When Newton faced the calculation of the whole solar system using the body equations his formulas crashed, they could not account for the stability for as long as it has in the Universe. The Sir Isaac Newton lacking the Math framework to account for the tugs of some planets invokes Intelligent design, a Creator. Then Huygens solves the problem in 1650 (no God(s) required), then Huygens himself calls on Intelligent Design to account for all the Biodiversity ( of course biology was a little behind in the 17th century).
And the examples go on. The God(s) do hide at the perimeter of our ignorance , I agree with Feynman.
Rick May
May 20 2013: Isaac Newton actually wrote more about religion and religious subjects than he did about science. And, interestingly, he applied the same rigor to his religious thought as he did in the scientific realm. The result were works that were completely at odds with the religious systems of his day (and today for that matter). I would not describe this portion of his life and thought being at the "boundaries" in any way. Instead, Newton considered them the centerpiece of his life and in complete agreement with his scientific discoveries. However, Isaac Newton is not the heart of this reply.
- +1
A few flaws stick out in your argument. First "many great scientists of the past held religious convictions" implies that this is not the present state. The reality is that many great scientists throughout history, including our modern day, hold deeply religious convictions. Of course individual belief, no matter the level of education, proves nothing at all. That takes me to the second flaw, namely "a car is designed and a tree is not". Well, despite efforts to close down this debate, the jury is still out on that one. And no, I am not implying some supernatural design for each species of tree. What I am saying is that the mechanisms of life at the genetic level cannot be glibly dismissed with time and randomness as the agents of creation. The laws of probability alone preclude this being a chance random event. It is clear that design was involved, and design that we are only starting to appreciate with recent developments in nanotechnology.
Which takes me to the overarching theme of this discussion; do any of our advances in understanding diminish the wonder of it all? Well, when I consider closely the elegant beauty manifest in genetics, all of which is only recently coming to light, I am in awe of its accuracy, complexity and, dare I say it, wisdom. As I learn more, it is only enhancing my appreciation and continues to fill me with a sense of wonder.May 20 2013: I think you miss my point at hand between Newton and Huygens, basically is that a Creator fills the gaps of knowledge, but the creator gets pushed as mankind moves the boundary further.
. And very true many a scientist do hold or held religious convictions, that is fine. And is also true that there is a large number of scientists that do not. I agree with you that individual belief no matter the educational level is not evidence of anything by itself.
"mechanism of life at the genetic level cannot be glibly dismissed with time and randomness as the agents of creation. The laws of probability alone preclude this being a chance random event."( for some reason it reminded me of Borel's law)
If we were to rewind the tape of our history to the beginning and then to have a fresh start , I dare say that the outcome would be different, (you use the concept of randomness, but random relative to what?), thus there is an element of chance involved, let's say the asteroid that hit the Yucatan peninsula & killed the dinosaurs may or may not hit us.Also natural selection would do its work whether mutations are directed or not. We need to distinguish between two senses of "random": the one kind that involves a total break in the causal chain, and in which the event is essentially chaotic; the other that requires only unpredictability such as the decay of unstable atoms, or Brownian motion, but which remains a caused event. These get confused all the time. There is nothing about changes in a genome or a gene pool that is random in the first sense, but much of the second sense.
And I agree with you again as I watch the marvels of the universe I am humbled and fascinated.
I know what makes a CD player work, but when you play Ray Charles , I don't think about audible acoustic waves, or frequencies , but rather the "magic" of a musical genius.
Rick May
May 20 2013: Carlos, I have reread both of our comments and I see your point, namely that Newton or Huygens invoked a creator in areas they did not understand using the models they created. I would however point out that if either of them could have ascertained the solution to their respective dilemmas, I doubt that either would have had their faith in a creator pushed out by the scientific explanation. Rather, what we see in the writing of Newton is that his discoveries were, in his view, insights into the mind of God not an explanation eliminating him, as was Feynman's original premise.
- +1
Regarding randomness, I would wholeheartedly agree that randomness is an explanation for variance in a given outcome and, in that sense, would agree that a fresh start very well would have altered our present reality. And natural selection certainly provides a satisfactory explanation for changes in an existing system over time. However, as a causal agent of extremely complex systems, neither random events nor natural selection provide a satisfactory explanation.
One final point, a very important one; you have great taste in music.May 20 2013: Rick operationally I agree with Feynman, and both Newton and Huygens were men of faith.
Evolution provides a satisfactory explanation for Genetic changes that can be passed on to the next generation. Darwinian Evolution doesn't attempt to explain How life began, and Physics points to causes known to have taken us to this point and time.
Evolution of complex systems is a ubiquitous phenomenon, we can't explain a complex thing as originating in a single step, but complex things do evolve. Like let's say software systems (remember DOS?) The assumption of complete requirements at any point in time is detrimental to the development of successful (i.e., useful and usable) software systems, successful software gets changed because it offers the possibility to evolve.
In the other hand all the explanations in the world cannot kill the beauty of a Maui sunset in Kihei. Science is an essential tool for discovery, but for me it doesn't take away the passion for life, au contraire it enhances that je ne sais quoi life is made out of.
Thanks Rick!!

May 14 2013: What is "magic"? Card tricks; bunnies from top hats; a long chain of knotted scarves; sawing a pretty girl in half; etc.? I don't think the word "magic" is intended that way here. The word is being used here as a lazy substitute for things ethereal, or things transcendental, things not explainable by the Scientifc Method. If I am right then the answer is clearly "NO". Science cannot observe;describe; quantify; predict;or classify such things as happiness and sadness; love and hate; music appreciation; beauty; faith; etc. If I am wrong about the intended definition, then the answer is "Yes", science can absolutely demystify the disappearing assistant trick and the milk poured into the newspaper cone. Abbra Cadabra!May 11 2013: Read about the double slit experiment and tell me it takes the "magic" away.May 18 2013: I think people need to see beyond science and God being mutually exclusive. That is a ridiculous attitude and it isn't scientifically supported. The fact is, the most basic scientific presumption points toward a creator. Something CANNOT come from nothing. Ask any scientist if there is such a thing as a random occurrence and they will tell you no. An example: a rock cannot just appear from nowhere. Like earth. Since there cannot be an infinite string of causes, basically there has to be a beginning SOMEWHERE, this means that we were created. The bein who created us cannot be held to the same laws as us, because the string theory would still apply. So conclusion: we were created by an infinite being, not subject to our laws. That would be God.

As for the magic in life, I really think science can enhance it. We are walking miracles, and we can choose to be constantly amazed by the intricacies of this world if we wish. Just think o how complex our world is, how reliant each piece is on the other. Flowers need bees, bees need flowers. How did that relationship develop? Isn't it amazing? Albert Einstein propelled in many ways modern society. But he was once fluid and matter, tucked in a woman's belly. Miracles still happen. We just dont want to see them, because we think if we admit to the miraculous we will be judged or criticized. That is the true loss we have suffered.
May 20 2013: Stephanie
"out of nothing" I think first you have to define what nothing is and if it does exists in the natural world, You may want to read the work of L Krauss University of Arizona.
What is the most basic scientific presumption that points toward a creator?
Be well.May 13 2013: as i'm typing this, millions of transistors switch state in my CPU and RAM, so tiny you need strong microscope to see them. then when i press submit, in a matter of seconds, information travels to the US, across the ocean, modifies the transistors in a computer there, and then information travels from there to india, south africa, australia for others to see.
no, it seems to me that science creates magic.May 13 2013: Life is a mysterious thing. We live in awe of everything it has to offer, and we know only a fraction of what it has to offer. Some people would call this the "magic" of life, you never know whats coming and what is out there. With science, there are many frontiers being explored, and things that were once thought impossible, are now occuring in everyday life. Things like a flat screen TV and cell phones were once seen as impossible and radical, but now our life revolves around it. Once useless food now has every nutrient that is necassary for life. Scientists can now code the DNA of living things, and change the outcome of nature. So where now is the mystery? Where is the magic? Where is nature? Science and Scientists have done quite the job on eliminating these things from our everyday life. Where people wondered how the sun worked back in the 1800's we now know it is a ball of gas, nothing special, nothing magical. This "magic" made life interesting and it gave everyon something to think about, and now there is no food for thought, even the most uneducated Americans know the answer to what the most brilliant once pondered on. How does this leave the "magic" in life for the rest of us? Sure there are scientists that are just as curious in many new frontiers as there were back then, but the difference is, everyone wanted to know back then, no people are content with what science has told them, and their ambition to discover how the "magic" works is gone in almost all of the population.May 12 2013: Science is historical in nature and one of the historical aspects is that it was once a minority viewpoint of the world, whether in ancient Greece or in the middle ages. So, as it became more popular it attempted to make itself definitive by rejecting aspects such as religion from its being. Gradually, after the time of Newton, who showed it was possible to predict the motion of the planets in a purely mechanical way without reference to God, those people drawn to science attempted to purge all non-mechanical aspects out of science. This process had the effect of killing the wonder and "magic" and beauty in the study of the natural world. This does mot mean that there is no magic, rather that in the view of the world of mechanical science it is not seen. What this means is that one manifestation of the world is the mechanical one whereas passion, art, the spirit are also a part of the world but ignored by the accepted scientific norm.

Good question, I would say no for I feel science is a tool for us to use in rediscovering ourselves again which is obviously what we are meant to do, to do the opposite is to stagnate which has no purpose therefore no intelligence would be needed so man would become redundant or unnecessary & what magic is in that??
MathewMay 13 2013: A lot of good arguments being said however, I think the term "magic" is being miss interpreted as science inventions. Yes science can make some amazing, magical stuff however, after a while there 'wonders' gets neglected. if you compare what I am stating to a child when given a new toy, some toys last longer than others but in the end we just throw them away. Look at the steam engine train and any other scientific invention which has been replaced with a new one. my point is that science can't bring everlasting satisfactory happiness to our lives and instead might possibly be reducing it instead.
May 13 2013: But for everything in life, it's not about the what, but about who and how. Science brings enormous amounts of "magic" to my life. Each and every day. The problem is not science, but people's attitudes. I can reduce anything the way you reduced science to "cold facts and whatever," painting could be "cold brushes and mixed colours." It's all in the individual. My point before was that it is not science, but the indifference created by the information overload, but this is not that simple, there's also a failure in the educational/societal system, that leaves people "soulless." The problem is not science, but pervading indifference.May 13 2013: It might be choice which takes away magic just watched this great talk on TED:
http://www.ted.com/playlists/91/everything_you_thought_was.htmlMay 13 2013: Interesting argumentMay 13 2013: No. Not at all. The opposite is true instead. In the absence of science, humans invent magic and wonder and rituals and myths to explain, to provide answers to, the unknown or unknowable. Science makes it unnecessary to embrace ridiculous fantasies but in no way diminishes (or enhances) any aspect of reality.
May 13 2013: But is the "magic" a human reality, through science the world that surrounds us has its functions such as the houses function to shelter humans however is the "magic" a functioning process.May 12 2013: If magic equates to wonder then science is surely one of the greatest producers of magic.
It allows you to say sentences, in the full knowledge that they're true, which sound completely absurd.
It gives you whole new world perspectives.
Every ounce of self importance is dismantled by one glance at a Hubble photo. To see the deep field is to realise that there are millions of worlds out there and introduces to you the vast unimaginable distances between the galaxies which culminates in the mind blowing exercise of trying to imagine the size of an ever increasing universe.
To be able to say the time physically tops at the event horizon of a black hole is another example of an incredible thing we can only say because of modern science. That there are literally places in the universe where you can be stuck motionless in time.
To be able to say that every atom in our bodies, except for hydrogen, was cooked in the furnaces of stars is incredible, everything on Earth is literally stardust.
To know that millions of years ago Mars had water.
Imagine being one of the first people to point a telescope at that giant bright dot in the sky, only to discover that it's actually a colossal gas giant such as Jupiter.
To know that everything on Earth is related, that all life came from that one point in time.
Then to top it all off. You've to consider that every single bit of knowledge we have, is because of ions transporting electric currents through our brains. Which then compute everything we receive via our sensory organs into data and memory.
And I could list hundreds more things, like even curing diseases is incredible.
Science only adds to the beauty of the universe.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRmbwczTC6EMay 12 2013: Thank you for the reply and inputs to the conversation much appreciated.
What is science? is it not cold hard facts which leave scientists lock away in there rooms contemplating. Is it not these same cold facts which turns our earth into an ice cube? I mean wonders that take our breath away such as the grand canyon even man made inventions like the iPhone(joke intended) may still be wonders with or without science however, taken that we know, we understand or we come across these wonders everyday, or we can search them up and locate them with out having to go to those places, like Entrophy said, somehow makes us ungrateful or take for granted these wonders. And is it not this which makes wonders in life a bit less 'magical'.
May 12 2013: I see in your profile that you identify yourself as a student and lover of science, so why not share your real point of view on this? Most lovers of science could hardly see science as "cold hard facts that turn the Earth into an ice cube."
May 12 2013: Yes I am a lover of science and a student. But what i said is true, science are stone cold facts. it is what we make of it that makes the subject differ between different individuals. Yes I am a lover of science and a student. But my interests have no effect on what science is, and it is made up of theories, statistics and facts. But as days pass by in London i want to know different views and opinions on weather science takes away the 'magic' in life? Like you stated i am a lover of science and a student.

May 12 2013: I just cannot understand your attitude toward this topic.
- +1
Science has given us technology that provides us with magical results. How can you not appreciate the magic when using a microwave oven, watching TV, stopping at an automated stoplight, flying through the air at 800 kph, using an IPhone? I had to take a flight recently, the first time in many years. The modern airport may not have the longevity of the pyramids, but it is far more wondrous and functional.
Taking wonders for granted is a choice. Choose to appreciate the wonder and magic.
May 12 2013: Yes you are very right in the case that science can create such 'magic' no doubt about that we have all seen the wonders it creates (disregarding the mass destruction it can cause).
I think we need to understand first what is meant by 'magic'. Some of you who are religious as i am, who believes in a creator such as God, when confronted with such wonders we can say "oh this is Gods work" and with God or with a creator comes a set of rules. As science takes control over our society i fear what might come from putting so much faith into science as science has none of these rules. i think there is a bigger question to be answered here and that is should we put our faith into science?
Its a bit of a radical change of question i know but i realized how dumb this question actually was so i looked deeper.
May 12 2013: You are asking whether it's better to believe a set of rules set down during a very early and undeveloped part of human history which if broken result in eternal torture, VS, a modern, ever changing system which can be tested and falsified. When you say science has no rules it actually does. Whatever you state must have evidence, if you claim it to be true then it must show experimental results which match your predictions whilst also leaving a method for it to be falsified.May 15 2013: Define your terms Peter. Faith and Science are apples and oranges, oil and water. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1 KJV). Science is systematized knowledge derived from observation, study, experimentation, and theorizing about the physical workings of the Universe. Your phrase "faith in science" denotes an impossibility because all belief is based on either Faith OR Science. For folks without Faith everything is based on Science.May 12 2013: I would say that it is disinterest, boredom, and information overload that takes away the "magic" in life. Today it is possible to learn a lot at the push of a few buttons. That makes people perceive it as if there's no effort involved. No thinking necessary.
We are far from knowing everything, but sure science has found explanations to make of the deepest mysteries of nature. As Peter Law said below, science still manages to show that we know very little, and, often, we discover many more mysteries to answer. That makes it even more interesting, but sure the newer generations take so much for granted, there's such an overload of information, that it looks as if we know everything there's to know. But that's a false perception. I try and teach my students to put themselves in the shoes of those who first discovered one thing or another. It's hard. They truly feel like there's no mysteries anywhere. But we have to try. Our young are losing their "souls" to information overload.May 12 2013: Nice to meet you Peter Yeseab,
An interesting question. Hopefully I shall provide a satisfactory answer!
Well I find (for me) an explanation doesn't diminish the beauty of something at all.
I mean if you explained to me how "love" occurs, would that make "love" less magical and special?
(To quote Justin L. Barret :
"Having a scientific explanation for mental phenomena does not mean we should stop believing in them. Suppose science produces a convincing account for why I think my wife loves me — should I then stop believing that she does?")
For me?
Just because you have a scientific explanation for something, I don't think it reduces it "magic" at all.
Science helps me enter a state of "flow", as I wonder at the secrets of the universe.
I'v always like the quote by J. B. S. Haldane :
"I have no doubt that in reality the future will be vastly more surprising than anything I can imagine. Now my own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose."
Science helps us find out what that "reality" is! :-)
Kind regards,
Bernard.May 12 2013: very interesting question PeterMay 12 2013: Yes science could add to the magic, but is it not the curiosity that makes the wonder or 'magic' and that curiosity is taken away by our knowledge on the subject. I am not implying science makes our current natural wonders completely boring however, it makes it less of a wonder. Using the example of a sunset, type that into Google (one of the worlds most used search engine) for a definition and what do you get? Do you get that thrill or that 'magic'? No, simply facts and data. Obviously this is different to seeing the sunset in real life but if you were then confronted with a sunset after studying the process' which takes place your whole experience changes.May 11 2013: Through all sorts of media, products and established ideas we are constantly seeing new innovations in our society. science has taken over court cases and even moral issues, it seems to me that science has become the new truth and thats how we are being told to think in the same pattern.
In addition maybe it is not only science that prevents this 'magic' but in total logical thinking, what should we pay attention to more, our spiritual side which allows us to feel with out knowing or the controlling calculative side, a side not always considered the best?

There is ALWAYS more to explore and learn....or not.....depending on one's perception:>)May 11 2013: Yes however, if we look at the day to day scientists the 'common man' we see that there natural state of wonder is being altered by making life abit dull because they know or they are told what is and what is not. If you use the example of a regular mobile, we use mobiles, we know what a mobile is, we pass by and use that mobile almost everyday in our life's, now if you give that mobile to a 18th century 'common man' that man one could say would worship such genius with wonder, with feelings like 'magic'.
Yes people see different patterns and that doesn't make it less magical but i believe we are being told to view everything in the same pattern. And that thing, or that god that tells us to view everything in the same pattern is science.
Fritzie -
May 11 2013: I don't know why or how you are being told to view everything in the same pattern.May 11 2013: The scientists I know do not look at the world with less of a sense of wonder than others. It gives them an additional way of seeing the world, just as an artist has an additional way of seeing the world.

You might think of either as a way of seeing patterns. Seeing more patterns is not less magical than seeing fewer.

Oct. 6, 2006 -- Yaz has become the first birth control pill to gain FDA approval for treating premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), the most severe form of PMS.
The FDA based its action on clinical trial results showing that Yaz cut PMDD symptoms by at least half. Women taking Yaz reported twice as much improvement in PMDD symptoms as women taking inactive placebo pills.
Yaz improved both physical and emotional symptoms of PMDD, including interpersonal relationships, work productivity, and enjoyment of hobbies and social activities.
Like other birth control pills, Yaz uses the female hormones estrogen and progestin. Unlike other versions of the pill, Yaz uses a form of progestin that has unique properties. This, plus its 24-day dosing regimen, may help account for its positive effect on PMDD, says Andrea Rapkin, MD, in a news release from Berlex Inc., the U.S. affiliate of Schering that manufactures Yaz.
"For my PMDD patients who need a treatment to reduce their symptoms -- as well as a safe and effective contraceptioncontraception to prevent pregnancypregnancy -- YAZ is an important option that can meet both of their health care needs in a single pill," says Rapkin, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine.
While most women have some PMS symptoms, PMDD occurs when these symptoms are at their most severe. PMDD affects about 5% of women.
Think of PMDD as PMS squared. Women with PMDD have at least five severe premenstrual symptoms. These may include:
At least one of the first four symptoms must be present for a diagnosis of PMDD. The symptoms occur during the week before a woman's period and resolve within a few days after her period starts.
Because PMDD is so severe, doctors usually prescribe antidepressants, antianxiety medications, hormonal treatments, and/or water pills. While doctors have used other oral contraceptives as treatments for PMDD, Yaz is the first drug of this class to receive specific FDA approval for this purpose.
The most common side effects seen in women taking Yaz are headache and breast pain.

The hard truth is that many IT managers have risen through the ranks based on their technical skills, not their leadership ab...

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

Brain Tumor and Brain Cancer -- Adult
- Home
- Health Information
- Brain Tumor and Brain Cancer --...
- Primary brain cancer—This begins in the brain. It can be either malignant or benign. A small benign tumor in a bad location can cause significant problems.
- Secondary or metastatic brain cancer—This has spread to the brain from another site in the body. All metastatic tumors are malignant.
|Brain Tumor
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk Factors
- Radiation
- A condition that affects the immune system
- Family history of certain types of cancer
- Lung cancer
- Breast cancer
- Malignant melanomas
- Gastrointestinal tract cancer
- Kidney cancer
Headache—Most headaches are not caused by brain tumors. Headaches due to brain tumors may have the following features:
- Worsens over a period of weeks to months
- Worse in the morning or causes you to wake during the night
- Different than a normal headache
- Worsens with change of posture, straining, or coughing
- Seizures
- Nausea or vomiting, especially early morning vomiting
- Weakness in arms and/or legs
- Loss of sensation in arms and/or legs
- Difficulty walking
- Hearing loss or vision loss, including double vision
- Speech problems
- Drowsiness
- Memory problems
- Personality changes
- MRI scan
- CT scan
- PET scan
- Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
- Combination PET and CT scan (PET/CT scan)
- Arteriography
- Biopsy
- Stereotaxis
- Steroids to decrease swelling and fluid buildup
- Anticonvulsants to prevent seizures
- Craniotomy—opening the skull to remove the tumor or as much of the tumor as possible
- Shunt—implanting a long thin tube in the brain to direct fluid build up to another part of the body
Radiation Therapy
- External radiation therapy—Radiation is directed at the tumor from a source outside the body. If you have a metastatic brain tumor, you will receive whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT). If you have a primary brain tumor, you will receive more focused radiation therapy. WRBT may also be used in people who have cancer in other areas of the body. The treatment is used to prevent brain cancer.
- Internal radiation therapy—Radioactive materials are placed into the body near the cancer cells. This is used less often.
- Stereotactic radiosurgery—Higher doses of radiation can be delivered to the affected areas of the brain. Nearby normal tissue can be spared. Special equipment, including MRI and CT scans, help to focus the radiation. This is most often used in metastatic brain tumors or in benign brain tumors, such as meningiomas.
Rehabilitation Therapy
- Physical therapy to help with walking, balance, and building strength
- Occupational therapy to help with mastering life skills, such as dressing, eating, and using the toilet
- Speech therapy to help express thoughts and overcome swallowing difficulties

@BenR - please re-open or re-engage on your JTAC case - either the fix doesn't work, or this is a similar symptom with different root cause.
@Everone else - if 10.0R3 resolves the issue for you please post back.
re: Release-notes.
I have asked a member of my team to run an analysis on the release-note contents for SRX to see if we can make some process improvements in what's reported in the known-issues and resolved-isses areas.
04-29-2010 12:20 PM - edited 04-29-2010 12:20 PM
I had the issue just reoccur, 4 days after "upgrading" to 10.0R3.10... uploaded core dump to J-TAC.
versello (OP) said something about disabling all IDP features. I'm having what looks like the same problem with my SRX240 HM and was wondering how you go about doing that. I can post my config if it helps.
05-04-2010 02:30 PM - edited 05-04-2010 02:31 PM
One of the J-TAC engineers working on my case also said some indications point to IDP (I just have UTM disabled)... perhaps I'll disable it. This will mean my device isn't any better than my replaced PIX 515e.
My SRX has been running for two weeks without issues on 10.0R3.10. It doesn't have any IDP features enabled which may be part of the equation. It's dissapointing that Juniper hasn't ironed out those problems yet though.
I tried the suggestion from oldtimer to restrict port switching, but it didn't seem to help. I'm installing the 10.0R3 right now, so I'll post back with results in a few days.
05-12-2010 10:52 AM - edited 05-12-2010 10:53 AM
My SRX240 HA Cluster on 10.1R1.8 just crumbled when I downloaded the IDP database and templates. I set the Recommended template to Active but hadn't apllied the IDP to any policies yet. I have been running for 2 weeks with Web-Filtering turned on with no issue. When I kicked off the download of the IDP database, I saw that one of my Zones stoped passing data to and from the other Zones. Just like that, no change of policies or anything. Just ran the command "request security idp security-package download" During this outage, the Firewall could ping the affected zone, just no one else could. Then one by one, the other zones stopped responding. I could stay on the telnet session to the firewall, but all traffic between all zones just stopped.
I am leaning towards
1) JUNIPER NEEDS TO GET THEIR CODE FIXED, this is major release 10 of your software and it still doesn't work?!?!?!?!
2) IDP is the culprit in these cases.
Yep, I think it is IDP. I've been running without IDP for a week and a half and it hasn't crashed yet.
After upgrading to 10.0R3 and applying the fix for PR#521684, my device would only core flowd about once a week. I have upgraded to 10.1R2.8 now, because I was told by JTAC that my last crash cause was fixed in it. So far so good with ExpressAV, Web filtering and IDP enabled. Only problem with this release so far has been the DNS alg, which has been blocking DNS replys with CNAME pointing to the base domain address (IE www.asp.net CNAME asp.net, etc.) so I disabled the DNS alg.
BenR - Can you let me know if your system becomes unresponsive? JTAC told me 10.1R2.8 doesn't have the fix to my core-dump IDP issue, so I probably won't even bother with it.

Tax liability for income earned overseas by Americans has been part of the U.S. tax system since the federal income tax was first introduced in 1861. Since 2009, the United States has witnessed a rise in citizenship renunciation, especially among the affluent. Some see this as a barometer of the waning appeal of U.S. citizenship, which has been and remains an aspirational goal for many around the world. However, it seems as though legislative and regulatory factors may be the more likely triggers for this new trend.
This article examines the underlying reasons for the interrupted school enrollment of Latino immigrant young adults in the United States who are colloquially referred to as dropouts and perhaps more precisely should be defined as pushouts, shutouts, or holdouts. A study reveals wide-ranging reasons for the interruption in their schooling, both before migration and after, and provides relevant data for educational policy and programming.
Notwithstanding the opportunities for qualified unauthorized immigrants brought to the United States as youth offered through the newly implemented deferred action program, the policy's success still faces implementation and other challenges. Muzaffar Chishti and Faye Hipsman examine the issues that remain unaddressed in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
In the past 50 years, the number and share of European immigrants in the United States have declined significantly. A look at the population's size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Though little recognized as such, the Workforce Investment Act represents one of the most important immigrant integration initiatives in the United States, assisting workers in obtaining the necessary training and language skills to advance in the workforce. Despite a steady increase of immigrants in need of these services, a decreasing share are able to access the programs to keep pace with a changing labor market.

Using a nationally representative U.S. birth-cohort study, this report examines levels of school readiness among young children by race/ethnicity and nativity. The authors identify the contextual factors — such as family circumstances, parenting practices, and enrollment in center-based child care — that encourage early school success.
This report draws on a six-year longitudinal study of Palm Beach County, FL, examining parenting, child care enrollment, and other factors that encourage early school success. The authors find kindergarten-age children of Black immigrants have significantly higher odds of being ready for school than children of Latina immigrant or Black U.S.-born mothers.

This report analyzes prenatal behaviors and birth outcomes of Black immigrant mothers, and finds that Black immigrant mothers are less likely to give birth to preterm or low-birth-weight infants than U.S.-born Black women, but more likely to experience these birth outcomes than other immigrant and U.S.-born women.
This report examines the role of naturalization as indicator and facilitator of successful integration in the United States. It examines why immigrants decide to naturalize and why many of those eligible to naturalize are unable or choose not to do so.
This report focuses on the development of children of Black immigrants in the United States, comparing against the outcomes for their peers in native-born and other immigrant families. It also compares these U.S. children to those in the United Kingdom, where there is a large Black immigrant population but a notably different policy context of reception.

Cold Waves (Razboi Pe Calea Undelor)
During Nicolai Ceauescu's brutal and oppressive reign as President of Romania from 1965 to 1989, he permitted little opposition among his citizens, but he had one enemy he could not control as much as he tried. Radio Free Europe was a radio network controlled by United States intelligence operatives that beamed Western entertainment and news coverage into a number of different Soviet block countries during the Cold War, and listening to their broadcast was a common act of defiance among the Romanian people. While many Romanian intellectuals were later appalled to realize that they were dependent on a C.I.A. propaganda vehicle for reliable news prior to Ceauescu's death, Radio Free Europe helped bind together the Romanian people who opposed their president, and Ceauescu is said to have been so angered by RFE that he tried to hire notorious assassin Carlos the Jackal to kill its top officials. Filmmaker Alexandru Solomon offers an idiosyncratic view of Radio Free Europe and its impact in Romania in the documentary Cold Waves, in which RFE staff, loyal listeners and former government officials determined to keep the broadcasts out of Romania talk about its content and impact. Cold Waves was an official selection at the 2008 London International Documentary Film Festival.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I have a Bosch shear in either 6 or 8 gage (not looking at it right now and memory isn't that great). Good tool, and it has its purpose, but for a nicely finished edge with less prep time I'd give the edge to my old Hypertherm 900. Actually for 10 ga. I have a couple of cheap Harbor Freight Skil type metal cutting saws that beat both for a nice precision edge...but they are an ungodly mess to operate throwing metal chips hither and yon! If cutting other than an absolutely straight line the Bosch can be more than a handful to keep under control.

The quality of cut BS gets old too, O/A has been producing beautiful cuts for many many decades,,, and it can't get more simple than wheel the outfit to where the work is and turn on the tanks.
No doubt their are some jobs that Plasma is the best choice, but in my situation, it's just an expensive toy I don't need and would never buy another one... when the cost of consumables come down and are made water proof I might become interested in Plasma machines... until then I'll avoid using it as much as I can and continue to use O/A, the Ellis band saw, Evolution saw, Milwaukee chop saw and now the Makita to do my cutting.
Here's my expensive air system, since 2003 it's been serving me well.. 10 drops of oil in the air tools before I use them and I'm off to the races....

Your air system is shameful, you didn't put $3000 into it to build projects that you don't even need in the first place.
Distortion? you boys need to go watch an electrician welder burn targets and boxes out...How about distortion on CNC plasma tables they always talk about, plasma can distort thin metal also.

I'm surprised to hear you would rather use o/a rather than your plasma. I have loved my plasma since I got it. The consumables are cheap for my machine and they last a long time if I don't get backs plashing. What plasma machine do you have? I do hear ya on oxy being a little more portable, but acetylene is not cheap and air is free. My plasma is dual voltage, and can cut 1/4" on 110v, while running off my small job site portable compressor.
Really interested to see a cut from your new shears too. I have always been happy with makita products, I'm sure you will love this!

Thanks for the replies to both of you. So it is the moisture in the air supply that eats the consumables. I've heard lots about air driers for plasma but I suppose everyone figured I already knew why. I guess that's why they sometimes use nitrogen instead of air. Nitrogen about the same cost as oxygen? Anyway nitrogen doesn't solve my issue either. I'm trying to avoid tank rental fees. We can't own cylinders here except for the really tiny ones that I find too small and too expensive to be useful for what I do. I was hoping for something light and portable that I could use at home that I don't have to keep paying on whether I use it or not. Given other discussions about inverters aging and storage maybe that's not a great idea either although I don't know that I buy into that either. Between work, renovations and the demands of family life I don't get as much leisure time as I'd like. Food for thought.Thanks.
It's like why do I need to have plasma? Not one of my projects or repairs have been done with Plasma. I honestly get along fine without it... just like I did before plasma became popular and a common tool in the shop.
I'll put some 10 ga cut pictures up after I get the tool and go over the adjustments.
The shear is just another arrow in the tool quiver. I have been wanting one for long time and a 10 ga project is at hand. From information I have gleaned over the internet shears are better for what I want to do.
My Ellis 1600 is by far the shops work horse.

Time is money.....I GUARANTEE you that I can cut a sheet of 10 gauge with my Hypertherm 1000 with a drag tip on it all the way across in less than 10 seconds.....name me one person that can do that with OA? OA can cut decently fast on a track torch setup(which takes for ever to set up) and decently fast with a guide(but only until you skip a beat in your heart rate and need to restart the cut). Hardly any prep after plasma either. I can and do use a 00 tip on my torch hear and there and I consider myself pretty ****ed good with a torch but for sheetmetal you can not beat plasma......and at home I have an airline filter and dryer but at work it's about the dirtiest air you can get and no problems.....what time is involved in plasma setup? Hook up the ground and airline and go at it? Probably takes the same amount of time to get shear out of cabinet and run extension cord. Dave
I get sick and tired of hearing how fast someone can cut with a plasma, I don't know of anyone who sees how many cuts he can make per second plasma vs O/A... I ain't in no hurry and clean up is no problem.
Time is money... give me a break, I'm not a fab shop so the speed of lightening and few taps to knock off slag are non issues for me. Go buy another plasma, with practice you can cut with both hands and really impress those who care how fast your are.
Manufactures make the tools so we can buy them. Each tool has its place and each person has his or her tool of choice. Some of us can afford them all and others cannot afford shoelaces. It's what you have and how you make it work.
A old guy told me that anybody could do it with the right tool.

Hugo Chávez stole not just money from his people, but also their democratic institutions and prosperity. He rewrote his nation's constitution to suit himself, rigged elections, neutered opponents in politics and the judiciary, and silenced critical media. Thus, it's no surprise that his land is presently moving closer to anarchy. This is what happens when a nation's mechanism of government — which ideally should be a perpetual-motion machine of stability — is destroyed and replaced with a cult-of-personality demagogue. For when that man becomes the government and then dies, you're left with nothing but a scramble for power.
At a former workplace many years ago, I learned that a certain fellow was cheating the business out of rental fees. So I confronted him, but he showed no contrition. Instead he replied, "I deserve it [the extra proceeds]." In case you haven't guessed, he was a devout leftist.
This story is brought to mind by the revelation that the late Hugo Chávez had amassed $2 billion during his tenure as president of Venezuela. Yes, that's one of those nine-zeros figures. Now, unfortunately for Mr. Heat and Sulfur, the Big Theft technique doesn't quite work like the Big Lie technique: If you steal a sum big enough, people don't start to believe you earned it. But why would this man — a champion of the poor, critic of capitalism, and beneficent bestower of charity — steal so much for himself?
Of course, given that ol' Hugo should rightfully have ended up at the looped end of a rope, perhaps we can't blame him for having wanted to create an exile-facilitating safety net. As to his justification, however, I'd bet dollars to doughnuts it was akin to that of my former colleague. His "feeling" likely was, "I do so much for the poor, I've fed so many people, and I've given away so much oil that I deserve it."
You see, this is standard among the Left. In theological circles, it's called the "sin of presumption." The idea is that I'm such a good person, it's okay if I have my fun and cut a few corners. Hey, where else is the world gonna' find another God's gift to humanity like me?

HG2 A hedonist's guide to... The UK's best-selling luxury city guide.
Tallinn Map
Everything we love in Tallinn
Explore the city by district:
New Town
Old Town
Tallinn City
When you first walk into Tallinn you'll notice something unmistakeably Disney about the town – its medieval spires glinting in the sun, the charming narrow streets and the perfectly preserved merchant's houses – all of them overlooked by the stern towers of an ancient fortified hill. The impression is reinforced by the throngs of tourists walking the streets, the handicraft shops, and the polite young students kitted up in medieval clothing who will accost you with inducements to join a Hanseatic feast in one of Tallinn's many themed restaurants.
But Tallinn is never as it first appears. While there is a thriving tourist industry in the centre, where foreign visitors are drawn like bees to honey by the bizarrely picturesque atmosphere, the city also hides many other worlds. Outside the Old Town there is a small modern metropolis – the Soviet and post-Soviet sprawl where most Estonians live and work (although many commute into tourist-land for their day jobs, along with shoppers and diners). But far from being a frozen museum-piece, the Old Town is host to some of the city's best nightlife and restaurants, shops and galleries. And there is also plenty going on outside the ancient walls, from the modern city centre – more active and vibrant with every year as business grows and new shops and services open – to the trendy port area. This was once an industrial wasteland, but today is home to some of Tallinn's choicest
nightspots. More leafy and serene, Kadriorg Park lies a few minutes' drive outside the bustle of Tallinn's centre and hides some of summertime's best jewels: a beautiful park, gorgeous museums and a forest right next to the ocean. Further along the coast and you're in Pirita, Tallinn's marina and beach.
Like its Baltic neighbour, Riga, Tallinn has garnered a reputation for legendary nightlife, full of racy clubs and beautiful, willing women. The truth is a little different, although not always far off. Rather than cater uniquely to the fantasies of drunken sex tourists, Tallinn has the beginnings of a truly sophisticated night-time scene, from its excellent restaurants and cafés to bars and nightclubs that would hold their own in London or Paris. There is a wonderfully disorganized element to the development of the city's entertainment, with themed restaurants ranging from Italian and Georgian to Russian, Indian and Thai, and inventive bars and cafés which will strike any pose to stand out from the crowd. The vast majority of these 'ethnic' businesses are owned and staffed by Estonians, proving that Tallinn has gladly embraced the role of themed town – except that no one seems sure what that theme should be. Expect waitresses costumed in medieval dress rubbing shoulders with Sikh-style doormen, and sushi bars next to Irish pubs.
Finally, it is worth remembering that this small city of 400,000 people crammed next to the Baltic Sea is long used to visitors: from the foreign armies that crossed its borders for 2,000 years to the legions of Finns that flood over every weekend from Helsinki, less than two hours away on the ferry. As a result Estonians are open-minded, curious and welcoming to guests – and tolerant of their excesses – and it's worth getting to know a few as you pass through.

According to ABC News, recipients of gifts returned as many as 37 percent of holiday purchases last year. But shoppers at the Army & Air Force Exchange Service can rest easy knowing the Exchange makes holiday returns as easy as possible.
"We know it's hard to please everyone on your list," said the Exchange's Chief of Staff Col. Tom Ockenfels. "There's enough stress during the holidays, so we have industry-leading return policies to make it simple to transform an unwanted gift into a replacement item, refund or Exchange gift card credit."
The Exchange's standard policy allows returns anywhere from 15 to 90 days of purchase with a sales receipt, but the holiday return/exchange policy extends these terms through Jan. 31, 2014 for all items purchased between Nov. 1 and Dec. 24, 2013.
As is the case throughout the year, refund requests with sales receipts are processed according to the original forms of payment (cash for cash, credit for credit card). Customers returning items without sales receipts will receive Exchange gift cards for the refund amount.
Also as a convenience to Exchange online shoppers, shopmyexchange.com orders can be returned to the nearest Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy or Coast Guard Exchange. Customer online returns due to an error on the Exchange's part are reimbursed standard shipping charges as well.
"We take our commitment to serving those who serve seriously," said Ockenfels. "On the rare occasion an online return is necessary, we know it's extremely important they have a hassle-free experience."
To make a return or get more information on exchanges and gift card credits, be sure to stop by your Exchange's Customer Service area or visit www.shopmyexchange.com.

Day-36 I haven't been posting every day, but I have been putting evryday. I have increased my range and have a new found confidence on anything inside the circle. I bought myself a matched set of 3 Spft Magnets at the 30 day mark to celbrate. Daily putting has become a habit, and I look forward each day to besting the performance from the day before.
The best results have been that my scores are down and it is changing the rest of my game. My shot selction off the tee and my approaches have become an intregral part of setting me up for a confident putting game.
I will continue to putt daily.
