Origin: Greek gnst(os), variant of gntos not known, incapable of being known (a- a-6 + gnts known, adj. derivative from base of gignskein to know) + -ic, after gnostic; said to have been coined by T.H. Huxley in 1869 Related forms
agnostically, adverb
Synonym Study Agnostic, atheist, infidel, skeptic refer to persons not inclined toward religious belief or a particular form of religious belief. An agnostic is one who believes it impossible to know anything about God or about the creation of the universe and refrains from commitment to any religious doctrine. An atheist is one who denies the existence of a deity or of divine beings. Infidel means an unbeliever, especially a nonbeliever in Islam or Christianity. A skeptic doubts and is critical of all accepted doctrines and creeds.
Word story The word agnostic was coined by the English biologist T.H. Huxley in the late 1860s as a member of the now defunct Metaphysical Society, in response to what he perceived as an abundance there of strongly held beliefs. The original usage of the term was confined to philosophy and religion, and referred to Huxley's assertion that anything beyond the material world, including the existence and nature of God, was unknowable. Today the word can be seen applied to questions of politics, culture, and science, as when someone claims to be a political agnostic. In a more recent trend, one can be agnostic simply by not taking a stand on something. In 2010, President Obama called himself agnostic on tax cuts until he had seen all available options. At a forum on sustainable energy in 2008, GE CEO Jeff Immelt said he was fuel agnostic fundamentally. In technology, software or hardware can be said to be agnostic as well. Computer code that can run on any operating system is called platform agnostic, and such services as phone and electric may be considered agnostic if not dedicated to a particular carrier, device, or user interface.
Popular references Agnostic Front: A New York punk band, considered at the forefront of the New York hardcore music scene. Founded in 1983, in existence for over 25 years.
It [agnostic] came into my head as suggestively antithetic to the gnostic of Church history who professed to know so much. T. H. Huxley, Agnosticism Collected Essays, Volume V; Science and Christian Tradition: Essays (1894)
In theory he [Prof. Huxley] is a great and even severe Agnostic,who goes about exhorting all men to know how little they know. R. H. Hutton, Spectator (January 29, 1870)
Militant Agnostic: I don't know, and you don't either Bumper sticker, Northern Sun (Accessed 2010)
Melville is a political agnostic in Billy Buddhe doesn't know with finalitynot because he is indifferent, but because he sees too much. Robert Midler, Exiled Royalties: Melville and the Life We Imagine (2006)
The whole point of it is to make sure that all ideas are on the tableSo what I want to do is to be completely agnostic, in terms of solutions. President Barack Obama, Obama Agnostic on Deficit Cuts, Won't Prejudge Tax Increases Bloomberg Businessweek by Rich Miller (Feb. 11, 2010)

Religious Freedom as a Human Right Featured in World Religion News Featured Contributor Series
In the video, you can see a small, dark object go whooshing past parachutist Anders Helstrup around the 29-second mark, followed by a slow-motion replay. It sure as hell looks like a rock falling from above the sky, which would presumably be space, but what do I know? A Professional Rock Guy, a.k.a. a geologist, believes it's a meteorite.
Helstrup's jump occurred in the summer of 2012, according to Norway's state broadcaster NRK. (A legit news source, which matters very much in a story like this one.) He says he didn't notice anything during the jump, but saw the object streak past him upon watching the video.
"When we stopped the film, we could clearly see something that looked like a stone. At first it crossed my mind that it had been packed into a parachute, but it's simply too big for that."
Helstrup shared the video with experts at Oslo's Natural History museum, and it quickly became a sensation among "meteorite enthusiasts." They aided Helstrup in searching the area, which has been narrowed down to 10 square kilometers. But no luckit's damned hard to find a rock, especially when it may not necessarily stand out.
Judging just from the video, geologist Hans Amundsen believes it must be a meteoritespecifically, a small chunk of a larger body that likely broke apart miles above Helstrup.
"It can't be anything else. The shape is typical of meteorites a fresh fracture surface on one side, while the other side is rounded."
But we'll never know. My headline being constructed as a question is not meant to invoke Betteridge's Law, but reflects a genuine agnosticism. Would I love to believe this is the first ever image of a meteorite in "dark flight," after it has decelerated to terminal velocity and no longer carries a bright tail? You bet. It could also be Jimmy fucking Kimmel.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) April 03, 2014
Translational Biosciences, a subsidiary of Medistem Panama, has received the green light for a phase I/II clinical trial using human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC) for multiple sclerosis from the Comit Nacional de Biotica de la Investigacin (CNEI) Institutional Review Board (IRB) in Panama.
According to the US National Multiple Sclerosis Society, in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), an abnormal immune-mediated T cell response attacks the myelin coating around nerve fibers in the central nervous system, as well as the nerve fibers themselves. This causes nerve impulses to slow or even halt, thus producing symptoms of MS that include fatigue; bladder and bowel problems; vision problems; and difficulty walking. The Cleveland Clinic reports that MS affects more than 350,000 people in the United States and 2.5 million worldwide.
Mesenchymal stem cells harvested from donated human umbilical cords after normal, healthy births possess anti-inflammatory and immune modulatory properties that may relieve MS symptoms. Because these cells are immune privileged, the recipients immune system does not reject them. These properties make UC-MSC interesting candidates for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune disorders.
Each patient will receive seven intravenous injections of UC-MSC over the course of 10 days. They will be assessed at 3 months and 12 months primarily for safety and secondarily for indications of efficacy.
The stem cell technology being utilized in this trial was developed by Neil Riordan, PhD, founder of Medistem Panama. The stem cells will be harvested and processed at Medistem Panamas 8000 sq. ft. ISO-9001 certified laboratory in the prestigious City of Knowledge. They will be administered at the Stem Cell Institute in Panama City, Panama.
From his research laboratory in Dallas, Texas, Dr. Riordan commented, Umbilical cord tissue provides an abundant, non-controversial supply of immune modulating mesenchymal stem cells. Preclinical and clinical research has demonstrated the anti-inflammatory and immune modulating effects of these cells. We look forward to the safety and efficacy data that will be generated by this clinical trial; the first in the western hemisphere testing the effects of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on patients with multiple sclerosis.
The Principle Investigator is Jorge Paz-Rodriguez, MD. Dr. Paz-Rodriguez also serves as the Medical Director at the Stem Cell Institute.
For detailed information about this clinical trial visit http://www.clinicaltrials.gov . If you are a multiple sclerosis patient between the ages of 18 and 55, you may qualify for this trial. Please email trials (at) translationalbiosciences (dot) com for more information about how to apply.

Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Therapy Clinical Trial for Multiple Sclerosis Gets Green Light
New York, New York (PRWEB) April 03, 2014
Dr. Jeffrey Adler, New York podiatrist and Owner/Medical Director of Adler Footcare New York, will be interviewed by radio personality Laura Smith and taking live calls on New York talk show 77 WABC about the use of stem cells to treat chronic foot pain.
Adler Footcare New York uses live birth stem cells to help treat patients with chronic foot problems such as: Plantar fasciitis, Osteoarthritis, Achilles tendonitis and torn soft tissue. The stem cell treatment is proving to be much more effective than traditional treatments like physical therapy or orthotic therapy.
Stem cells have the ability to replicate themselves or change into the cell type that is needed to repair damaged tissue. The therapy works by directly introducing live stem cells into the affected area causing pain. Its approved by the FDA and consistently reviewed by medical professionals to remove the potential of any communicable diseases.
Dr. Adler often travels to other states to share his knowledge with other doctors in his profession. His latest research on stem cell therapy has gained much interest among his peers in the medical industry.
When compared to traditional treatments, stem therapy is proving to be more successful and longer lasting, Dr. Adler said. We are seeing patients heal much quicker and return to their normal activities much sooner.
To learn more about stem cell replacement therapy or to schedule a consultation with a New York podiatrist at Adler Footcare, call (212) 704-4310 or visit http://www.mynycpodiatrist.com.
About Adler Footcare New York Dr. Jeffrey L. Adler, Medical/Surgical Director and owner of Adler Footcare New York has been practicing podiatric medicine since 1979 and has performed thousands of foot and ankle surgeries. Dr. Adler is board certified in Podiatric Surgery and Primary Podiatric Medicine by the American Board of Multiple Specialties in Podiatry.

New Rochelle, NY, April 3, 2014Nearly 7% of Americans married between 2005-2012 met on social networking sites. How those couples compare to couples who met through other types of online meetings or the "old-fashioned" way in terms of age, race, frequency of Internet use, and other factors is explored in an article in Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking website.
In "First Comes Social Networking, Then Comes Marriage? Characteristics of Americans Married 2005-2012 Who Met Through Social Networking Sites," Jeffrey Hall, PhD, University of Kansas, Lawrence, describes the characteristics that are more common among recently married individuals who met online via social networking sites (SNS).
"Facebook use grew dramatically during the 2005-2012 time period studied," says Brenda K. Wiederhold, PhD, MBA, BCB, BCN, Editor-in-Chief of Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, from the Interactive Media Institute, San Diego, CA. "It will be useful to continue to observe how these trends change as various groups of individuals become more frequent users of SNS," says Dr. Wiederhold.

Which couples who meet on social networking sites are most likely to marry?
A set of prehistoric footprints, said to show meat-eating dinosaurs hunting vegetarian dinos, has just been recreated in a detailed 3-D model.
The frozen-in-time event, dated to at least 112 million years ago, happened at what is now the Paluxy River site in Dinosaur Valley State Park near the town of Glen Rose, Texas just southwest of Fort Worth.
The chase involved 20 to 30-foot-long predatory dinosaurs going after 30 to 50-foot-long dinosaur prey. While paleontologists arent yet certain of the species, Acrocanthosaurus (aka High-spined Lizard) is considered the likely hunter and Pleurocoelus (a hefty and impressively huge plant eater) the hunted.
Could These 10 Animals Be Resurrected?
It looks like one or more big predatory dinosaurs was stalking a herd of about 12 sauropods before the hunters went in for the kill.Some have suggested the tracks show one or more dinosaurs dying, since the footprints of young sauropods (the plant eaters) appear to trail off.
The chase scene has been known for some years. Unfortunately, after American paleontologist Roland Bird originally excavated the preserved footprints in 1940, researchers removed the tracks from their original location, divided them into blocks and transported them to various locations around the world.
Bird had documented the original site with photos and maps, but since that excavation, portions of the tracks have been lost. Peter Falkingham of the Royal Veterinary College, along with colleagues James Farlow and Karl Bates, decided to recreate the full set of dinosaur footprints.
When we first set out to map the Paluxy Rivertrack, creating an accurate 3-D model of the site required use of a large, heavy laser scanner that cost tens of thousands of pounds and was prone to failure especially in the extreme heat in Texas, Falkingham said in a press release.
Chicken from Hell Was a Fowl-Looking Dinosaur
They switched to a process called photogrammetry, which uses multiple digital photographs to generate a 3-D model. The process matches features between images and calculates relative camera positions. The researchers were even able to incorporate some of the original photos taken by Bird.

Deadly Dinosaur Chase Reconstructed
From buying organic to gluten-free, consumers seem to be more interested than ever in the ways their food is produced.
This spring, legislators in more than 20 states will consider proposals to mandate special labeling of genetically modified foods, to give shoppers one more bit of information.
Critics say genetically modified foods might be unsafe, but even if they are not, consumers have a right to know what is in what they eat.
So, why not tell people if the ingredients in their cupcakes and cereal have been engineered, and let them decide what to buy?
This may sound reasonable and seem to reflect how our choice-driven marketplace works. But, it reflects a deep misunderstanding about what genetic engineering actually is and how it compares to the changes we have been making to crop plants for thousands of years.
For starters, nearly every food on grocery store shelves has been modified by human hands at the genetic level. In the agriculture world, its called breeding. And, as many of us learned in high school biology class, breeding alters a plants genes so it expresses new traits.
This may be as simple as a new color or flavor, or even resistance to pests and plant diseases.
And, whether we use genetic engineering or more conventional techniques, breeding can mean just tweaking the genes already inside a plant or introducing entirely new ones.
The primary thing that makes genetic engineering unique is the power and precision it gives us to make those changes and then test for safety afterward. It has also given us food that is both safer for our families and better for the environment.
Plants with a built-in resistance to chewing insects, for example, have allowed farmers to use millions of gallons less pesticide every year.
