Abstract
This paper examines the disorder of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). It particularly emphasizes disease management. The paper reviews the disorder, symptoms and prognosis. It then provides a more detailed examination of the problematic aspects in managing day-to-day activities, such as work, family and social obligations, due to the illness. The paper looks at how patient lifestyle modifications and adaptive measures can influence the outcome of CFS.

Abstract
Managing the Disorder

From the Paper
"CFS is a complex and demanding disorder that significantly alters one's lifestyle and affects more than just the patient. Comprehensive understanding of the disorder and how each patient is affected are essential in order to help the patient manage their disorder effectively and avoid further depressive, frustration and anger based emotional complications that normally plague an individual with a chronic disorder. For the patient with CFS, such a reaction creates a negative cyclical spiral. A positive approach and helping the patient to accept their situation, focusing on what they can do rather than on their limitations will promote a sense of well-being rather than disability."

Abstract
The paper defines TCP/IP as basically the core of the Internet. It consists of both TCP and IP protocols, with the Internet protocol (IP) the network layer of the Internet which provides a connection-free service and the The Transmission Control protocol (TCP), which runs on top of the IP protocol, providing a connection-oriented service between the sender and the receiver. The paper discusses how, at one time, the Internet was a specialized tool; but today, it is a general-purpose tool used for a variety of things by both individuals and businesses. The TCP/IP protocols were designed when the Internet was still very young and users trusted each other, for the most part.

The paper shows how these protocols lack some of the most basic mechanisms for security, including authentication and encryption. As more and more people use the Internet and use of the TCP/IP protocols increases, this lack of security is becoming a major issue. This paper examines the basic security flaws involved with TCP/IP protocols, discussing the roots of and possible solutions to these problems.

From the Paper
"Network developers generally use client-side cookies to combat the TCP session hijacking problem (Atkins, 1997). Cookies allow the system to check the identity of the user by means of storing the CFID and CFTOKEN in client side cookies and using that information to accurately identify the user. The cookies are issued when the user logs in, so this technique is generally effective.

A hacker would actually have to literally copy the cookies off another's machine to steal their identity. However, a lot of people do not like cookies and may even have them disabled. Fortunately, there are other ways."
