New Scientist News – Chronic fatigue is not all in the mind

—

No S#$%! Glad they have finely figured that one out.

The mechanism that they discuss is interesting.

My symptoms started with a month long bout of flu that left me unable to do much more than real short walks for weeks. That was about 17 years ago. I still have periods that I am unable to do more than just walk from place to place to sit again. Mental activity is almost impossible at those times.

I am coming out of a 2 to 3 week bad period now. This time the mental fog wasn’t as bad but still bad enough that things that I would usually spend minutes on has been taking hours.

Typing during these episodes is always interesting too as I seem to get short circuits between head and hands, so that the finger on the left that is supposed to type the letter will not work but the one on the right hand will do so instead. Or the speed with the nerves fire will seem to vary and I get a lot of “teh” and “ot” and other transposed letters.

I’ve been living with is as there is no alternative that I have found to this point but this sounds like it may have a direct impact on a lot of us…

Makes sense. And may give a new way of either predicting or monitoring quakes.

Salt Lake Tribune – Utah
Really cool invention brings teens awards
Physics students: They came up with an environmentally friendly, economical air conditioner

This is via Steve. Thanks for the pointer. I saw a link to this yesterday but failed to get through at the time.

This looks possible. Depends on how much electricity it uses. The Pelter devices I have played with were real juice hungry but they “were” older devices. I guess the first one I saw was in the late 80’s or early 90’s and they date way on back from there.

The article says they are using 5 of them so I’m sure they are getting a lot of cooling. The problem is going to be overcoming the initial thermal load of the hot air mass in the car as well as the hot mass of the car its self.

Will have to wait and see when more info is available.

Gonna have to try one of these pendrive distros one of these days. Sound interesting. And with the newer bios machines should boot right up. Don’t think anything I have will boot off a pen drive.

Vehicle barrier allowed to go ahead | www.azstarnet.com ®

But this isn’t turning into a police state. Nope. This isn’t at all like the Berlin wall or the Great Wall of China. This is just a 123 mile long concrete barrier to keep drug smugglers out that the taxpayers get to foot the bill for.

Idiots! But I forgot, we now have Albert E. in charge so anything goes…

RAH you predicted “the crazy years” only too well…
