this is for a college assignment so any help would be really grateful

It all depends on what league you swim for. For example, in the US, YMCA swim leagues end earlier in the summer than USA ones.\n\nThat is just for younger kids, htough.\n\nIf you're training to be in the Olympics, Worlds, or even just Nationals, you train year round, with various meets around the year. Olympics take place in the summer, Short Course Collegiate Champs in the winter, etc. Try to find the website for the league you're looking for, and they'll usually have a schedule.


I've learned something new every day in my 57 years . Tell me something new for today !


do they get accumulated? let's say i have 5 questions left for today, those 5 would be added up tomorrow?

No I'm afraid not.  You start afresh the next day.


for over a year now my forehead has been itchy, sometimes severly, it can get red from scratching and sometimes little bumps come up that itch as well, and it often flakes when i scratch it especially after i get outta the shower and i dry it off, anyone have a reasonable explanation for all this

That sounds like hormones messing with your skin if you ask me. You havent specified if youre male or female....but sometimes, because of stress, extra hormones are triggered off in the body causing these itchy pimples. I had these aswell plus the flaky skin. You should go to the doctor and get some medication to clear it up.\nRemember not to overload your face with products, this will make the problem worse.\nHope it clears up soon!


how can i get it?\ni can't find it anywhere..

It is called "Unstoppable" and is available on the Lifetime site as a ring tone. Hopefully they will put the artist out soon. Watch the site.


In Judeaism and Christianity we do something about those who kill supposedly in Gods name.Why doesn't the religion of "peace"?

Your knowledge of Islam is very limited, thus your querstion.\nHere goes:-\n\nIslam NEVER CONDONES violence of any kind.\n\nIslam’s Response to Terrorism\nAbdul Ghany Jahangeer Khan\n\nIslam means the religion of peace. A person following Islam will find that he or she is surrounded by noble teachings, the aim of which is to establish peace between man and Allah, the Creator of all; between man and man; and between man and the rest of Allah’s creation.\n\nHow does such a religion deal with the issue of terrorism? And what does the word terrorist mean? Dictionaries will define a terrorist as one who systematically uses violence and intimidation to achieve political ends – or one who controls or forces others to do something by violence, fear or threats.\n\nAll these definitions are covered by two words in the Holy Qur’an, the sacred book of Islam: Fitnah and Ikrâh.\n\nIn the Holy Qur’an, God begins to deal with the issue of terrorism by teaching Muslims never to become terrorists in the first place. Two of the very first verses of our Holy Book say: ‘Al-Fitnatu ashad-du minal qatl’ – meaning that in the sight of Allah, ‘persecution, or making people constantly fear for their lives, is much worse than killing’. And also: ‘Lâ ikrâha fid-dîn’ – ‘There shall be no compulsion in religion’, that is to say, that no one has the right to force others into complying with their demands or compelling others to follow their line of thinking.\n\nAllah Almighty warns the believers again and again that they should never abandon Him, the source of all goodness. Allah Almighty reminds us that it is those who have abandoned Him and thrown away all good, and divested themselves of every shred of human decency, that are the ones who will eventually resort to terrorizing others, forcing them into complying with their demands. The believers are repeatedly reminded that they would lose Allah Almighty’s love and His favors if they ever began to behave in that way.\n\nBut Islam does not content itself with these injunctions strongly forbidding Muslims from ever becoming terrorists. It also makes sure that the believers are made into highly moral, excellently behaved people, by inculcating those lofty human values that can turn them into people who sincerely love humankind without distinction of religion, race or social status. Islam no doubt encourages the logical and rational discussion of views with people of all creeds in a calm and dispassionate way, with the only aim that truth prevail over error and falsehood. But it also reminds us that it is error and falsehood as such that are to be hated and detested. The people who unfortunately hold on to error are never to be hated. That is why the motto of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is ‘Love for all, hatred for none.’\n\nIn Islam, an amazingly powerful emphasis is laid on developing love for mankind and on the vital importance of showing mercy and sympathy towards every creature of Allah Almighty, including human beings and animals. For indeed, love and true sympathy are the very antidote of terrorism.\n\nIt is related by ‘Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, the talented wife of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, that some desert Arabs came to him one day and asked: ‘Do you kiss your children?’ He answered: ‘Yes.’ They said: ‘We never kiss them.’ The Prophet (sa) said:‘What can I do if your hearts have been stripped of compassion?’ He also said that Allah Almighty has no mercy for him who has no mercy for his fellow beings.\n\nThe measure of compassion shown by the Holy Prophet (sa) cannot but amaze anyone who knows how rough and violent was the society into which he had been born. Abu Qatâdah, may Allah be pleased with her, relates that the Messenger of Allah told him: ‘It happens that I stand up to lead the prayer, having in mind to lengthen it. Then I hear the cry of an infant and I shorten the pray


I noticed that outsourcing has been very rampant this past 10 years. Some IT Operations (Programming Support etc) have been outsourced in the Philippines, India and China for their LOW cost. Where do you think is the best place to do this outsourcing and why?

India. There must be a good reason other companies are heading there. Low labor cost, many people with computer degrees, etc.


A lot of us have jobs we don't love, simply because we need the income.  But we all have the potential to do anything.  So what would you do?

I would open a recording studio and a performance center for kids in my town who can't afford instruments or anything else to give them a place to learn, play, and for a few of them work at developing their talents so I could put records out there and fulfill their dreams.


I am organizing a group of people who want to learn and pracitce Judaism according to Judaism's Holy book the Torah.  If you are interested in learning in a relaxed yet purposeful and focused environment in the Metro Atlanta area, let me know.

Have you considered going to a local synagogue to meet Jews? I did a quick search and turned up 43. A synagogue is obviously the best place to meet people interested in Judaism. I don't know if you're Jewish or not, but if you're not, you can ask a Rabbi about how to convert. \n\nThe best thing to do would be to visit a lot of synagogues and find one you're comfortable with. If you go to Friday night services, they have a snack & social period ("Oneg Shabbat") after the service where you can meet and mingle.


We are a  manufacturing facility with 20 stages of production from project start to finish.\n\nWe are looking for a bar coding solution that not only specifies the details of each order (how many units, printing options, packaging options, shipping address, due dates, etc..) - but also allows the tracking of the project through production stages within our warehouse.\n\nAs this job goes through the various stages of production, we would like it to be logged via barcode.\n\nie: when an order arrives at pre-press, it is logged when this job is received. \n\nFrom pre-press, the project then goes to printing and is logged, etc.\n\nEvery time the project goes through another level of production - that data should be automatically uploaded to our server.\n\nThe goal is to keep close track of each job for strict internal structure, and also to keep the customer well informed of the progress as he/she inquires.\n\nIdeally, this system should be integrated with programs like Goldmine, ACT, etc.

I would look into the system used by EZpass on highways and certain medications.RFID tags. They are usually from two to four square inches in size, and contain a silicon chip that holds a unique string of numbers identifying the item to which it is attached. A separate RFID "reader" receives the information contained in the tag through the tag's antenna. Unlike a bar code, the signal does not have to be read directly by a scanner; RFID signals need only to be in the vicinity of an RFID reader.


I've been taking Beta Carotene and Vitamin C throughout the flu season, so i think i have a fairly mild case...

Eat oranges. Buy a bag, n eat them while on the net or watching tv. LOTS of water, 8+ glasses daily, stay away from sodas and juices for this time, it will help you heal faster. Then sleep n sleep. But, don't stay bundled up in your house under a blanket all day long. Move around, walk around the house. If you stay in your 'sick' way of life, ive always found that it took longer to get over the flue. The more active I was around the house (cooking, cleaning, getting up myself to get myself water, doing the dishes)..the faster I would heal. \n\nGet Well!

We were watching Champions leage the other night, and remarked on how many national players were on the field... if you look at all teams who started out in the Champions League (in Europe) this year - what percentage of the total player roster in the World Cup do they make up?

Statistically, only 14% of the World Cup 2006 players played in the Champions League this year.


A rite of passage marks a change in an individual's status.\nThe main R of P are the acceptance of a baby into the community of faith by such acts as baptism, when the child takes responsibility for its own religious observances such as confirmation and adult baptism.  In Marriage an individual is linked to another.  Ordination (for Catholics) separates a person from the community for a special role. The funeral is a transition to an after-life.

I just want to know what people think about their favorite CSU and why I shuold pick it to go to for my undergraduate.

If you are referring to Cal State University, in my opinion the best one is San Luis Obispo. Its even harder to get into than some UC's.


i tried to download a game, but  somethings came up,  Local file error 10.the file may be currently in use the hard drive may be full, or you may not have the proper acces to privileges to write this file,pls confirm available hard drive space and acces privileges with your administratot and reattempt download...... need help for this, thanks in advance

Left click "My Computer" to open a browser window to view all of your available drives.  Of course your hard drive is usually labelled as "C", but it may have two partitions.  The second partition is usually labelled "D".  "C" and "D" will be on the same drive but appear to be seperate.  I will get to why I mention this later.\n\nOnce in "My Computer" you can put your pointer over the drive that you want information on.  Without doing anything else, it should give you some basic information on the drive/partition; free space and total size.  If you want more details just right click and select "Properties".  This will give you a graphic representation of your available and total space on your drive. \n\nYou have a few options if you don't have any free space.  You can do a "Disk Cleanup".  Do this by clicking "Disk Cleanup" in the window you opened in the previous step or go to Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Cleanup.  This will find all temporary files, files in your recycle bin and various other files that you may not need anymore.  When it has run, it will give you a list of all of these files and how much space that they will free up if deleted.  Select the ones that you wish to delete and Finish.  Note that you should do this periodically as part of your regular PC maintanance.\n\nAnother option is to go through your computer and manually delete files and programs you don't need anymore.  You may delete something that you need if you are not careful though.  Deleting files is easy.  Right click and Delete or drag them to the Recycle bin.  To remove programs go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs.  Once the program list pops up select to Remove the programs you want ot get rid of and follow the prompts.\n\nIf you have a lot of files that are taking up space, but don't want to get rid of them, move them to another storage media.  Put them on an external drive, or save them to disk.  You can even save them to the D drive if you have space there.  I like to save everything from my projects and working folders onto my D drive.  That way I know where my files are and they don't take up program space on my C drive


is that some one keeps on calling me private!! and i want to know who it is!!

first you have to answer the phone and see who it is - that is the only way to know who is calling.  you can call your local phone company and get instructions on how to block private callers.


i know it is kinda late but im not fat and i just wanted to tone up alittle bit maybe drop 3-6 pounds.

Cardio alone WILL NOT help you look good for summertime. Cardio gets your heart rate up which is fine, and you will lose some fat around your belly, which is fine, but summer is about two months away and doing excessive cardio does not build muscle, it only leads to injured joints. You lose MORE FAT and get toned by turning your fat into muscle, by lifting weights, seriously. if your a girl and not into lifting weights i recommend doing squats for your legs and various ab exercises.

im 17 years old and im now in a seriuse relationship with a girl... my parents will accept me the way i am but i just dont know how to tell them im bi... and suggestions???

there is no easy way to tell them. If you know for sure that your parents will accept that you're bi, then it should be a problem telling them. They probably already know and just waiting on you to say something.


In the politics section most people are either extremly left or waaay far to the right. Im somewhat in the middle. And also i would like to add this... if your antibush is this "BECAUSE BUSH SUCKS". you shouldn't be here.. you should be developing a better counter arguement.

Most moderates don’t give passionate opinions one way or another and don’t take the time to engage in partisan bickering.  Moderates scorn propaganda (which this site and much of the web is full of), try to stay abreast of issues which directly concern them, and usually don’t hang around forums such as this.  In all fairness to the “Bush Whackers” there are just as many unfounded, “Liberals are stupid” statements made as there are “Bush is an idiot” statements.  Neither types of comments reflect too much intelligence or knowledge on the question being asked, but earn the answerer two points.\n\nBoth parties should be aware that moderates are America’s silent majority and if either party wishes to achieve lasting respect and successes, they should steer away from swinging too far to the left or the right.\n\nYou should also be aware several users of this forum are adolescents who really don’t know a whole lot about politics except for what their parents tell them.

I have2 do a project on renaissace and i need 10 causes. can anyone help or can u suggest some useful sites... ill b greateful 2 u...........

The Renaissance has no set starting point or place. It happened gradually at different places at different times and there are no defined dates or places for when the Middle Ages ended. The starting place of the Renaissance is almost universally ascribed to Central Italy, especially the city of Florence. One early Renaissance figure is the poet Dante Alighieri (1265–1321), the first writer to embody the spirit of the Renaissance.\n\nPetrarch (1304–1374) is another early Renaissance figure. As part of the humanist movement he concluded that the height of human accomplishment had been reached in the Roman Empire and the ages since have been a period of social rot which he labeled the Dark Ages. Petrarch saw history as social, art and literary advancement, and not as a series of set religious events. Rebirth meant the rediscovery of ancient Roman and Greek Latin heritage through ancient manuscripts and the humanist method of learning. These new ideas from the past (called the "new learning" at the time) triggered the coming advancements in art, science and other areas.\n\nAnother possible starting point is the fall of Constantinople to the Turks in 1453. It was a turning point in warfare as cannon and gunpowder became a central element. In addition, Byzantine-Greek scholars fled west to Rome bringing renewed energy and interest in the Greek and Roman heritage, and it perhaps represented the end of the old religious order in Europe


im havin trouble tryin to sleep im countin sheep but runnin out. as time ticks by, still i try, no rest for crosstops in my mind.....\nown my own here we go

Brain Stew. You must really be a Green Day Fan huh?


I have 2 friends, who I have known for a few years, they are twins and both of them were supposed to be my daughters godmother, but on New Years Eve, I told them I was going to Atlantic city with my b/f then they started telling me how Im wrong and that I should be with mydaughter. I told them that I spent Christmas with her, so New Years is gonna be my time. (I take good care of my baby). They tried to make me feel like Im just out running the street. Then I told one of them that my aunt died, she didnt even say sorry to hear that, she asked to borrow 10 dollars, ever since then I stopped going to their house, I walk right past like they dont exist. Then I notice that they are jealous because they are both fat and sloppy and ugly..ALL OF THE FAMILY IS and they always try to criticize me. If i get dressed up, they give me a compliment but then in the same breath they ALWAYS find somethin wrong with my outfit. They always ask to borrow but never pay back. I just want to know am I wrong?

Double the trouble. F'm. \npunch one in the face and see if the other on feels it


im only 19...and i guess i still have high metabolism ...i eat alot but dont see it going anywhere....should i do the macdonalds diet\nget the gmc protein powder\nwhat?

Presumably you don't want to be fat, but bigger.  So I recommend lifting as heavy weights as you can, do the protien thing, and build up your muscle.  Now also keep in mind that this takes a long time.... so I guess if you want to gain wait quick...\n\nDrink Starbuck\neat McDonalds\nwatch too much tv

“If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death, their blood is upon them.” (Revised Standard Version)\n\nSurely the whole quote is invalidated when you only accept half of it? Is it only a half-truth?

Peer pressure influences everybody more than a single text, however sacred it claims to be.\n\nThe Bible was like any piece of writing a product of its sociopolitical context, and this was one where capital punishment of minority groups was much more accepted. Nowadays homophobia is generally more widely perceived to be wrong, and the strength of that pressure means that even something that is supposed to be set in stone is adapted. Quite right too - every idea has to adapt to changing circumstances if it is going to survive. There is no such thing as an Eternal Truth


what is a constitutional convention? how has the canadian political system been influenced by coventions?

If you are talking about the constitutional conventions of Canada, there were three of them: Charlottetown Conference (1864), Quebec Conference (1864), and London Conference (1866).\n\n-----\nCharlottetown Conference\n\nThe Charlottetown Conference was a conference in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island for representatives from the colonies of British North America to discuss Canadian Confederation. The conference took place between September 1-7, 1864.\n\nThe conference was originally planned as a meeting between representatives from the Maritime colonies only: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island although Newfoundland was also invited. Britain encouraged a Maritime Union between these colonies, hoping that they would then become less economically and politically dependent on the Crown, as well as provide for greater economic and military power for the region in light of the ongoing U.S. Civil War. However another colony, the Province of Canada (modern Ontario and Quebec), heard news of the planned conference and asked that the agenda be expanded to discuss a union that would also include them.\n-----\nQuebec Conference of 1864\n\nThe Quebec Conference was the second meeting held in 1864 to discuss Canadian Confederation.\n\nThe delegates from the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island had agreed at the close of the Charlottetown Conference to meet again at Quebec City in October of 1864. Newfoundland also sent two observers, but did not participate directly in the proceedings. In the month between the conferences, the ideas presented at Charlottetown were drafted in the Seventy-Two Resolutions, specific goals to be achieved in the creation of a new country.\n-----\nLondon Conference of 1866\n\nThe London Conference was held in the United Kingdom in December 1866 and was the final in a series of conferences that led to Canadian confederation in 1867. Delegates from the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick met with officials of the British government to draft the British North America Act. A major issue of contention was education with Roman Catholic bishops lobbying for guarantees protecting the separate school system. This was opposed by delegates from the Maritimes, and the compromise reached was Section 93 of the BNA Act, which guaranteed separate school systems in Quebec and Ontario but not in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick.

what would a girl you liked have to have (not talking about personality)

taking the personality out, you didn't leave much, as the physical body is like a flower that has it's prime time and then dies out. good flower has beautiful scent even when it is dry. a plastic or fake flower is useful only for decoration. saying that everybody seeks the physical qualities or standards they set to themselves first before they getting to know the woman they are interested in, every man has a type they are looking for, could be something to do with the hair, some prefer dark hair, others prefer blond while others may prefer brunette. or it could be something to do with the way the woman smile or laughter, some men disregard the facial and hit for the body and even that varies, some men like big bums, others like slim legs, big breasts and these preferences are dynamic, what a man likes in a woman one day, month a year or a decade may not like in another. \n\nif you are a woman I am sure there are men out there who like what you have.

I need to put my fiance on my medical bc I really think he needs to see a doctor soon. But for the good insurance it would be 120 every paycheck. I live paycheck to paycheck now so that would be very hard. This one insurance offered is 70 bucks a check BCBS high deductible. Now its like 80% covered after the deductible. I mean I do not know how good this is. I mean we prolly don't need a doctor but a few times a year and he needs to go soon. So what could I expect to pay for a doctors visit and presciption medicine?

It is really hard to say. It depends on what the office call is and what the doctors diagnosis is. Then after that the medication that he is put on and if he can get a generic or if he needs the name brand. \n\nIf you have a high deductable and it hasn't been all covered, then you may end up paying for most of the visit anyway.\n\nMaybe he should look into getting his own individual medical insurance. \n\nHope this helps. \nGood Luck!!

Every other celebrity has mentioned what kind of underpants they like to wear, except him. I'm just wondering if anyone has been successful in finding out this tidbit of information.

it was in seventeen magazine in an interview he had, and its BOXERS!!


If blond, red, and light brown hair and blue, green, grey and hazel eyes and light skin are recessive, how did they become so common among those of European descent? Did geography play a role in this adaptation? Perhaps due to climate that is colder and more cloudy most of the time they developed less pigment in their skin, hair and eyes?

dominance or recessiveness have nothing to do with what is selected, it only affects expression in the individual, this can be a tough concept to get, but basically if a gene is recessive it doesn't mean its better or worse than the alternative genes out there, it could be either. Recessive/dominant doesn't mean rare/common.


The sport to my knowledge is quite new to recreational sporting. I would like to know when it was first played at the olympics.

fencing was played by the greeks in the olympics, who first introduced it.


Is it me? Should I give him room and time? What should I dooooooooooooooooo?!

No, you are not the reason he is not opening up. But, yes, do give him space and time. When he is ready he will talk to you (or not). From my experience, men like to work things out by themselves, and if he works it out successfully he might tell you or more customary just act like it. You will know its all better just by his mannerisms.\n\nBut for now space and time, ok honey. It's all good, just be patient, y'll see. Hope I helped a lil.


If an individual is on informal probation (no probation officer, reporting obligations etc) but subject to search of their residence and person at the request of any police officer, can law enforcement officers take and/or open their mail as I described it above?

Depends on the wording of your probation order.\n\nIf it says, "person, property under your control, vehicle and residence," then yes, they can open your mail no matter where it is, as long as it's under your control.  And if it's in your mailbox, it's under your control.\n\nThere are some cases that hold the search of your property should be related to the offense you're on probation for, but at least in California, this is still being worked out.\n\nIf you were in California, and subject to "normal" probation terms, I would search your mail if I thought there was some reason to, and I'm confident I would be doing so legally.

Latest reports revela that I have Triiodthyroinin (T3) level of 32 ug/ml, Thyroxine (T4) level of 1.3 ug/dl, and Thyroid Stimulating Hormones (TSH) 64.6 uIU/ml.\n\nProblems: over weight (95 kg), breathing inconvenienec and high blood pressure (in the range 150 /120 to 120/90)\n\nMedicines using: THYRONRM -50 and RAMISTAR-H5\n\nI had anemia in 1996 and 2004 and got cured with medication.  I have normal level of HB count at present without medicines. \nBut the Dcotor now opines that thyroid could have been the root cause for the anemia too. No one detected thyroid previously.\n\nI would be grateful if  anyone suugests proper medication for my problem. Thanks in advance.\n\nRavi\nMale, age 44 years

It sounds like you have hypothyroidism (your body doesn't produce enough T4). Thyronorm is a replacement for T4.  That is probably why your T3 is low and TSH is high but T4 is mostly normal.  It sounds to me, based on this information, like you need to increase your Thyronorm dose.  Discuss it with your doctor and see if he agrees before you make any medication changes.

For educational and logical question ofcourse my mind.. no work of heart there \nfor questions of belief and realtions, love and friendship, where someone needs advice for life.. HEART .. no work of mind there ... bcoz emotions comes from heart :)\nand if there is a dumb question then NONE hehe i just blabber rubbish to get points ..


I was thinking of someone like madam C.J Walker - she invented hair care products for Black Women. They do not have to be black there just has to be a book about them that is at least 100 pages in length. It could be a scientist, Composter or Artist.  This is for a 5th garde book report!

I don't have any titles in mind, but really your best bet is to visit the library where you will find dozens of books!  If you need help, the librarian will (or "should!) be very glad to help you find what you seek.


k so theres this guy i really like him and he knows but we have already gone out, but he never got to see me be myself so he dumped me...... now its really akward what do i do!oh by the way his sister is one of my best friends!

Guys are really hard to understand.  Maybe he just want some one on one time with you or maybe he just want sex.  My parents were really strict and when I was in college I had my first boyfriend.  His name was Kenneth.  He was my age but he was a senior in high school and I was a college freshman.  We both lived with our  parents.  Throughout our entire year of dating, we never were alone.  I swear to God, we were never alone anywhere together.  There was always my parents, my cousins, my sister, his family, or his friends.  We lived within walking distance of each other.  Niether one of us had a car or could drive.  It was frustating to him because he wanted to have sex but I didn't care because we were both virgins and I wasn't going there.  After a year of dating he ended up breaking up with me for that very frustrating reason.  We are still friends 12 years later.  When I ask him why we broke up then, he always tells me he was a horny little teenager and I wasn't trying to hear it.  So I'm sure that might have something to do with it.  If so, leave him alone.  You're probably about 16 anyways and don't need to be around a guy alone.  I appreciate my parents strict rules.  Remember, your parents always want the best for you.


My boyfriend is gorgeous, smart, athletic, well-mannered but for some reason, he almost always tucks a paper napkin in his collar when he eats. I asked him why and he says he does not want to get any stains on his shirt and that he has always done this. I noticed that when I have had dinner with his family, his two brothers do the same. My friend went to prom with a guy that wore a napkin attached to one of those dental bib chains during dinner at a fancy restaurant. She said her date was paranoid about getting anything on his tux. I guess it is a smart idea but it is also kind of embarrassing. I guess guys don't get embarrassed as easily as girls.

His parents probably forced him to do so since childhood. Call it a habit I suppose.

Arithmatic mean Is in the Book of Mathametics. what is the formula of it?

I think you're talking about "average," so you add up the numbers and divide by how many numbers you've added.\n\nthe average of 5, 6, and 7\nis 5+6+7 divided by 3\nso it's 18/3 = 6\n\nhope that helps, sorry if I'm way off


I am a Die hard Yankee Fan.My two Favorite Players are Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.Which one is a Better Fielder?

jeter is a better fielder and anyone who knows anything about baseball will tell you that. dont you remeber him diving into the stands for a foul ball and busting open his head or that behind the back backhanded flip to posada to tag out giambi at home plate in the playoffs a couple of years back. you never see A Rod doing those things. Now A Rod is a way better power hitter and rbi guy but not a better fielder.

When you see a 11-16 year old boy in a hoodie, what do you think? What needs to change? Do we change our point of view or do the youth change?

Nice question. I wouldn't even know where to begin with answering this one there are so many issues tied up in this. Firstly are we talking UK here? I'm guessin yes. When you say "urban" are you talking inner city/ethnic minorities generally/Black youth specifically cos it all makes a difference. Also- who is doing the misunderstanding? Is it the general population cos if it's a case of the general population misunderstanding white youth that's absolutely nothing new, if it's the general public misunderstanding Black youth that's also nothing new but they're very different issues. I live in South London (arguably an area of the country with the worst reputation and some of the highest street crime rates- and an area where the stereotypes of hoodie-wearers are rife). I'm 21 (so not too far from the teens and at times  and in certain situations I still consider myself to be 'youth'). For me 11-16 is a really big age gap. If I see an 11-14 year old boy walking down the street in a hoodie my impressions of him will be different than if he's 15/16. It also depends on his demeanour- maybe I can read these things better because I'm of that age and culture and not long out of school? To give a good example the other day I was packing my car boot outside my house and I had to go back to get some more stuff. There was a young Black boy (I'd say about 12/13) walking down the street towards me with a hoodie and tracksuit. I decided that he wasn't a risk so I left my car boot open and went and got the rest of my stuff. As I was coming back to the car and he was walking off past it I thought to myself 'would I have left the car boot open if he was taller? or older? or with a group of friends? or if he looked angry or on a mission to do something bad?' I don't know. It's interesting. A couple months ago in a similar example we were unloading some drinks that we'd just bought from the car (getting ready for a party) and there were two young white girls (about 15) walking past, singing and acting silly (no hoodies). Anyway, I waited by the car til they had passed before I went inside. It was night time maybe that had something to do with it? I don't know. It's interesting because I don't have any schema that consider young white girls to be more criminal than young Black boys (and in fact dominant ideology actually works the opposite way) so as far as I'm concerned it must have been the particular circumstances and I guess that's my answer to your question. It depends. In terms of change, wow there's so much. A really good start would be breaking down barriers between young and older people- exposing them to each other's lives and cultures so they can understand there's nothing to fear and that the other should be respected (this goes both ways). Respect was my next one. Particularly young people need to recognise that their elders should be shown respect regardless of how 'deserving' they are in our eyes. I've seen and experienced some severe violence from older people towards youth (mostly on the buses) and it's just not on but maybe it should start with the youngers? Maybe we should learn to be the 'bigger man' and show respect. Take up our roles in society as the next, capable generation and start to ensure that the path we've laid will be walked by generations to come and when we're older respect for your elders will be a given (like it was back in the day).

haha I think you and every other living breathing man on the planet would love to get in touch with her!  If u really are serious about trying to get in touch with her, the closest you would probably get is by joining her fanclub (they should have some kind of fan mail system) she should have a website that provides a fanmail thingy or u could always go to one of her concerts, stand up the front and pray that she hears you calling out to her.  Goodluck, if you ever get in contact tell her angel said she rocks!!


I am looking for a free clinic close to glendale , california

what type of free clinic. you have to be more specific.


Let (X,d1) and (Y,d2) two metric spaces and let f:X-Y be an onto continuous function s.t d1(x,y)<=d2(f(x),f(y)) for all in X. Prove if (X,d1) is complete then (Y,d2) is also complete

Easy Homework.\n\nSuppose {y_n} is a Cauchy sequence in Y. Since f is onto, there are x_n with f(x_n)=y_n. Since d1(x_n,x_m)<=d2(y_n,y_m), {x_n} is Cauchy. Since X is complete, there is a limit, x of {x_n}. By continuity, {y_n} converges to f(x). Thus every Cauchy sequence in Y converges, so Y is complete.


Why is it that your boyfriend will act a complete fool treat you like crap and then make it out like it was all your fault? Why is it that they cant just apologize for their mistakes? Even worse why cant they just talk it out instead of blowing up?

Egotistical and immature, If this is the case you need to talk to him about it and set the boundaries if that is not acceptable then you don't need to continue to carry the load. A real man will admit when he has made a mistake and will become a bigger more respectable  man in the process.

i just know c,C++, pascal in programing languages.\nwhat all i should learn and how to proceed to make my own software

There are many different programming languages that you can use to program a computer. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses, and therefore some are more suited for writing one type of software than others.\n\nVisual Basic is very good for beginners, and it is possible to use it for quite complex programs.\n\nIt is an object oriented language, which means that you effectively draw the screen using tools much like you do using a desk top publishing program, and then you write the program by adding the code to each object.\n\nBasic stand for "Beginners all purpose symbolic instruction code" and was designed to be easy to use. It is a high level language, which means the commands you use are closely related to English and therefore easy to remember / learn.\n\nTo develop your own software, once you have learnt a language, you first have to have a clear idea about what it is you want to write, and how it is going to work.\n\nA good place to start is to write out your program using "pseudo code". Pseudo code means you plan out exactly how the program is going to work, but without worrying abut the actual commands you are going to use - write each line using whatever makes sense to you - presumably English - and then when you sit down to actually write the program you just need to convert your notes in to the language you are using. Pseudo code is good because it allows you to plan out the program, work out how to is going to work, and plan the logical flow of it.

The Epoch Times in their April 20-26 edition reports that a Singaporean Muslim man convicted of rape has 10 wives and 64 children. He was sentenced to 32 years and a caning. I am curious about the practice of multiple wives.

hey.. in islam .. men are allowed to have only 4 wives.. no more than that..\nbut nowadays rarely men marry more than 1 women...\nand that thing u wrote under ur question.. \nmen are NOT ALLOWED 2 HAVE MORE THAN 4 WIVES... him havin 10 and all those children ..is forbidden and wrong in islam..


No thank God.  My wife is way out of my league.  She is beautiful, smart, kind, well organized and clean.  Her only fault is that she married me.  I'm the luckiest man in the world.  By all rights she should have never even given me a look.  I honestly can't think of even one thing in which I would come close to being her equal.  If you want my advice you should always try to marry way over your head, like I did.  That way you always have a great role model and something to strive for.

That Creation didn't work out too well, so they were done away with. I believe it was the gap in Genesis either chapter 1 or 2 between two of the verses. Anyone know about this? This race of giants was introduced either before or after the dinosaurs died out. There was even talk the giants were not really of this earth. What's your opinion on all this?

yes, the nephalim.. (children of the gods and earthly women)


Regard the alphabet as letters on a belt with Z being next to A.\n\nClearly the gap between \n\nC and A is 2 or 24\nA and R is 9 or 17\nR and R is 0 or 26\n\nIf the intervals between the gaps are 7 and 17 and the next one is 27 therefore, that would make the next gap 53 and the next letter (we are travelling backwards) would be Q (NOT S)\n\nAs Q is not offered as an answer, then I can only assume the answer is Y because it forms a word (CARRY) where the others do not.

How has he helped the situation of the middle and lower class during his terms? Specific examples that have gone or are going to go into effect before the end of the term.


I know the effects of interest on price, but why?

Let's say a bond is paying 10% and its par value is 100, so a coupon payment for one year is 10.\n\nIf interest rates go up to 11%, to pay its coupon payment of 10, the value has to drop to 90.9 to match up.\n\nSimilarly, if interest rates go to 9%, to get a coupon of 10, the value has to go up to 111.11 to match up and give the same coupon.\n\nSo, when rates rise, the price goes down and vice versa.


With the current atmosphere on Mars, is it possible to grow any sort of vegetation on that planet and slowly acclimatize the planet for human occupation? Does anyone know if NASA or any other space agency is working on a project like that?

dude above this comment addressed some of the problems . . . but what about the solutions?\n\nFor my astrobiology class I did research on terraforming Mars, and learned quite a bit.  The first thing that would need to be done is landing, constructing miniature chemical fixing plants that could do to the atmosphere exactly what we're doing to this planet right now: release greenhouse gases that otherwise would be locked in the regolith. This would have to be done first to allow the planet to warm up a little bit, but this would take a few hundred years. You see, this would project would have to have the full commitment of the entire human race over a few thousand years for this to be "completed."\n\nAfter a few hundred years of warming,  you might actually outgas enough atmosphere from the regolith to hold liquid water stably, you might have a little more CO2 to build atmos. pressure, but growing algae or anything would require genetic engineering, since algae, im sure, is not going to grow in soils containing peroxides and epsom salts. They would fix the atmosphere to contain more oxygen. This would also take a few hundred years as well.\n\nAssuming we had the patience for this, we could have some sort of atmosphere close to 60% the pressure of ours within 600 years, and the temperatures from the 50s-70s (one scientific paper said something about 77F being reached feasibly). So this terraforming is do-able, but do we need to? have we finished discovering things on Mars before we start erasing it with running water and weather systems? \n\nSome say there is still a lot of water on Mars, enough to make an ocean covering the entire planet about a few feet deep (thats a lot), but that would take a lot of work to achieve.  Also, you have to realize that all this work would not be permanent.  Mars has no magnetic field, and thus no real protection from the solar wind which would slowly strip the planet of its atmosphere. \n\nthe "mars project" would be fruitful but not permanent, and would work for probably a good several millenia, but would need maintenance. . .  \n\nim done typing

I want to learn hebrew fast, but i dont know much about it.\nplease HELP!

Hi,\nHebrew as a second language...interesting.  I am multi-lingual and have noticed things about learning new languages.\n\nYou have already been supplied answers like:\n\n1) study\n2) immersion!!\n3) CD's, books, teachers\n4) speak to survive!\n5) stoned?\n\nThese suggestions are rated here:\n\n5 is useless...it just makes you think you're learning something when you're just wasting time.\n\n1 & 3 have been know to work but not rapidly.\n\n2 & 4 both work and work rapidly.  \n\nNow how to get there.  The language you intend to learn is of no consequence;  that is these concepts work with any language.\n\nLearning through chat rooms will gain you nearly nothing.  \n\nBeing younger is a distinct advantage.  If you are between 5 and 8 you will probably learn faster than those of other ages. \n\nYou need to live daily with those that exclusively speak your intended (new) language.  Having a person that speaks your native language fluently around is as much a hinderance as it is a benefit.  Optimally you'll have limited access to this person but have constant access to those who are only familiar but not fluent in your native language.  This forces you to do some of the language thinking.  Thinking in the new language helps you learn.  If you think you can learn without speaking out loud you are missing a large portion of the language learning process as well.  You need to say things out loud to people who will be attempting to understand you.  If they do, then you have positive reenforcement that will reward your efforts...and negative reenforcement for confusing or unclear communication.  When you mangle a sentence in your new language (which you will) you may see the listener wince telling you that you made a mistake.  This immediate feedback is most valuable in your learning.  Acceptance of your sentence and understanding from the listener is both rewarding and immediate and helps you learn that much faster.\n\nAfter you find yourself thinking in your new language, you are on your way.  Speak out loud, practice saying things that you hear, these are the two things that children constantly do that adults find annoying but are necessary for rapid learning.\n\nOops...I didn't mean to write another book.\n\nGood luck in your Hebrew endeavor.  I hope you're not just entering this lightly (e.g. because this cute guy is taking Hebrew too xP ) but ready for a lifelong commitment to knowing and understanding a new language and culture.

My son's fiance began radiation therapy for leukemia 4 weeks ago.  She was in remission 8 years and her Dr. felt confident he caught it quite early when her cells were just beginning to change.  She also takes the Depo shot for contraceptive but found out she's 6 weeks pregnant.  She's had 3 radiation sessions and her oncologist said it hasn't harmed the baby and if she decides to go go full term with her pregnancy he will switch her to chemo.  She has a gyno appointment next week but my son is afraid to take a chance with her health and the harmful effects of the radiation and now chemo. They're thinking about terminating the pregnancy. Is there anyone with knowlegde about this ?

I am really surprised that they did not do a pregnancy test prior to starting radiation, even if the woman was on birth control.  In my experience, that is the first thing they look for because radiaton treatment can be extremely harmful to a fetus.  \n\nIt is not a good idea to become pregnant during radiation therapy because radiation may harm the fetus.  http://www.cancer.org/docroot/MIT/content/MIT_7_2X_What_Side_Effects_Occur_With_Radiation_Therapy_to_the_Pelvis.asp?sitearea=MIT\n\nPatients should not become pregnant during radiation therapy because radiation treatment during pregnancy will injure the fetus, especially in the first three months. If a patient is pregnant before therapy, the doctor should be informed so that the fetus can be protected from radiation, if possible.  http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/dc/cen/canc/gen/radiation.jsp

i don't get ALGEBRA...so plz sumone help me\nx^+12x+36       \n^ is squared, can sumone help and explain this\n\n* also if possible\n9x^+12xy+4y^\nThanks

The equation is a quadratic, (you know this this because of the x squared) To solve a quadratic you need to factoruse ut, so make two brackets with and x in each, (x   )(x   ).\nNow, you need to look for factor pairs of 36(the constant at the end) that when you add them together or take them away, they equal 12 (the number in front of the x term)  Our options are, 1x36, 2x18, 3x12, 4x9 and 6x6.  Only 6x6 adds to give us 12.  You can now add two sixes to your brackets, so (x   6)(x   6).  Now you need to look at the signs, which signs when multiploed out will give us +36?\n\nIf you are not confident with algebra, try trial and error.  in this case it'll be ++, \n\nSo fully factorised this gives us (x+6)(x+6)\n\nTo solve this we now need to make it equal to 0\n\n(x+6)(x+6)=0\n\nNow put each bracket equal to zero  ( as both brackets are the same we need only look at one of them)..(x+6)=0, so with simple manipulation we can say that x=-6\n\nThe second equation is related to a circle and tricky to explain by message, try looking in a revision book around circle equations and properties

If you are looking for a star player, its almost always a striker. Ronaldo was the star in 2002. Who in 2006???

Your name sake...if he stays heathly.  He has the quickest feet in the game and is always dangerous.  What a playmaker!

We've all heard of Civilian contractors being taken prisoner, killed, etc overseas... How does one land a job like that? Given they are willing to take the risk. Anyone know of any contractors hiring overseas, or potential "danger zone" jobs?  Thanks

The pay for these jobs is much higher than in the states. Call Halliburton, they hire most of the civilians in Iraq.


I've had two dreams with lemons and a lemon tree in them.  The symbol of life being a lemon and making lemonade doesn't fit.  Are there any other meanings?

What do lemons mean to you?  What do you feel when you think of the "lemon dreams"?  The best symbology is your own.  Books that list meanings of dream images are too general, like horoscopes in the newspaper: "Dreaming of lemons means you have a sour outlook..." I would study what dreams are, their atmosphere, and how we are the dreamer of dreams, not the passive figure...The Seth books (Jane Roberts) are the best, I believe.


and gain more lucrative foreign contracts for US companies

No one knows for sure so really this is a redundant question; however, one I believe is in every ones' minds.  If GWB had his way, we would have already taken the whole middle east.  He is greedy, greedy for power, greedy for riches, greedy for control of all the oil.  \n\nWho knew that in five years that GWB would have made the greatest country on this Earth, the U.S., the enemy in the World's eyes.  He seems to think that History will treat him well.  Over time, history does change but let's hope the truth is always written about what happened to this country during the years GWB almost ruined this country.


Well, I sometimes chat with my co-workers but I don't hang out with them. I've lost contact with all my college and high school friends. The only person I chat with is my brother and my boyfriend. He says I have 2 personalities. Bubbly and friendly personality ... and quite, lost in my own world personality.

i'm a loner myself. i dont have close friends to hang out with. i only talk with my bf and my sisters. sometimes i'm bored and hoping that i have few friends to talk and out with. its not that i'm unfriendly, i just did'nt find someone that really understand me as a friend. when i found ur question,i felt that i'm not the only one who had this kind of problem. maybe it's normal.


A 28 year old MBA who makes of lot of money wishes to establish an account, so that at the time of his future retirement at 60 years old, he can withdraw $6,000 per month at the end of each month for 25 years until all the money is exhausted.\nHe knows that he is going to inherit $200,000 at age 50. The inheritance can be invested. If he starts to save now until 60, how much should he save per month at the end of each month, if all money can be compounded monthly at 7% annual rate at all times.

I'm using the financial apps package on the TI-83.\nAt 7% annual for 10 years the $200,000 will grow to $401,932.  To withdraw $6000 a month for 25 years he'll need $848,921, which is $446,989 more than he'll get from investing the $200,000.  So he'll need to put $312.93 a month into his retirement fund.


I want to use a dvd camcorder, then edit out some sections, maybe insert some text graphics, and make a menu so people can choose to skip to one section or another. Thanks. Also, any recommendations for good camcorders would help, too.

ok firstly i have done a lot of this kind of stuff so as far as cameras go. My recomendation would be either sony or connon. sony usualy are not quite as expensive and have a few more cool electronic features. Cannon however have better lenses and the more expensive ones have three CCDS, i beleive sony has this now too. What camera u need is very much dependant on what you want to do with it, but if you only an amature looking to have a bit of fun i would recomend the sony, especialy if you are on a budget.\n\nNow as for the programs to edit with. well adobe premier is very good but also quite hard to learn. Pinncle Studio is very good and is pretty easry to get to know. it has good tutorials with it. for DVD authoring Ulead DVD studio is one of the best i have used. So just get one the u like the look of and ge familiar with it, in the end they almst all do the same thing, they just do it in different ways\nhope this helped


Please, elaborate from your perspective, experience or other relevent information?\n\nThanks !

religion is not a citizen. religion does not have any right itself. nor you can hold accountable someone which is abstract or just thoughts in legal terms.\n\nreligious lobbyists are citizens. those organization which have a legit name and use it to fight legallY are corporate citizens. thus reigious or other organization are accountable for the acts done in the name of religion/any organization. \n\n  the citizens who are members are also responsible for their personal actions committed while holding the post. \n\nactually religion is a product. the resoning is simple. \n\n  organizations sell religion as a "product". they advertise it. they propogate it. they tell about its positive sides and leave out negative impacts.they asks others to join it. it is marketting.\n\nthe perspective consumers have a right to know what they are buying. \n\n religion or lobbyist groups using legal means to silence or censure individual who are exposing things about them should  be held accountable for this action. \n\nafter all they are trying to silence someone not because it is exposing their religion but they think being a follower it reflects their deeds and beliefs. they are the ones who are supporting , propogating and acting upon those abstract idea. \n\nin another words they are trying to hide what they really stand for. thus trying to hide true facts about their goods.\n\nany fact which is true about a religion should not be censured by court. religion itself has no right of privacy. it would be better for those who are now ashamed of some beliefs simply accept that "yes we had this drawback but now we are editing it". in either case people have a right to know the whole facts. \n\nonly if the stated facts are false, distorted and giving wrong impression by virtue of being used in wrong context then believers have a right to get it censured.\n\nadded:\n\n in india relegion is not regarded as a citizen. to tell the truth we are not as active as US when it comes to litigation. so such cases like you are stating above are not heard of. at least i do not know.\n\n however the deity of the temple is considered a person. any case on the temple and summomns can be issued to the risiding deity of the temple and the priest of the temple represents him in court. but no deity ever went to court suing anybody else. same goes for a "Math". the head priest or mahant is held accountable.\n\nfor the acts of relegious organization the individuals committing those acts are held responsible.

are you aware that your parent, child, spouse or friend may be dwelling on your every word?\n\nmany people are blessed and skilled at the fine art of conversation.  they know what to say, when to say it, and perhaps most importantly, when to stop.\n\ncan you use broad brushstrokes in your conversations, effortlessly creating a fine work?  are you a master of the fine art of conversation?  would others agree with your assessment?  \n\nextra credit:  whether you answered yes or no, where do you need to improve?

I've never heard that precise term before (did you just coin it, Patz?) but judging by your description, yes, I am very definitely a "conversation artist" -- and happy to be so. The art of conversation seems a lost one in the modern age, alas, much like the art of letter writing. The internet has likely contributed to both of these unhappy circumstances, particularly the latter, but I think the larger culture is to blame. But pray don't get me started or I'll be off on one of my (infamous?) tangents. ;)\n\nI'm not so vainglorious as to believe friends and family hang (dwell?) on my every word, but yes, what I say matters to the people nearest and dearest to me and I always endeavour to be mindful of that fact. Words can hurt like a fist, perhaps more so, and I have long been keenly aware of their inherent power to both help and harm others. I sincerely hope and trust I am more careful than careless in this regard. The old adage is correct: The pen (the voice, too) is indeed mightier than the sword -- and this coming from a Knight!\n\nYes, I do find my ability to converse fairly effortless, though not always. I'm not sure about "creating a fine work" but I invariably leave that for others to determine. I do seem to know what to say and when and how to say it, whether it be comforting a fallen comrade on life's hard journey or breaking the tension at a dinner table with a timely joke or witty bon mot (often of the self-deprecating variety as these almost always put everyone else present at ease). I'm not entirely sure I always know when to stop, however, as I do tend to go on... and on... and on... Have you noticed? I mean, it does turn up in my written communication as well, does it not? ;)\n\nYes again, I am a master of the fine art of conversation. Indeed, I am Lord and Master of all things and you WILL bow down before me! (A tip of the cap to the brilliant Joel Hodgson and his old crew from MST3K, a forgotten classic that I miss as much as I adore, for allowing me to borrow that hilarious reference.) Would others agree with that assessment? Yes on my mastery of the fine art of conversation. No on my satirical reference to delusions of grandeur. The former would result in some lovely accolades being tossed my way which would humble me into rare silence. The latter would result in various items being flung at me with a real sense of purpose. Good thing I wear plate armour, eh? ;)\n\nI doubtless need to improve on my listening skills. That is to say, I DO listen, always, but I'm prone to interrupting when something comes to mind that I feel it important to impart. This is never intended to be rude or discourteous, though someone who doesn't know me well might take it to be so, unfortunately. Interestingly, I'm more inclined to be circumspect about this personal flaw with those I don't speak with often. It may seem like a very backhanded compliment but if I know and trust you well enough to be in my comfort zone when speaking with you, then it is highly likely I will on occasion interrupt you to make a point I'm dying to make. If I never do this when we converse, it likely means I am not very comfortable with you at all. \n\nA conundrum? You could say that. A paradox? You might say that, too. So very MacSteed? In a nutshell (or a suit of armour), you betcha!\n\nThank you for a thoroughly enjoyable and thought provoking question. This is exactly why I remain at YA, notwithstanding some difficulties on site and some serious personal issues off site. Thoughtful people like you, Patz, make my presence here entirely worthwhile. Cheers!


I'm unsure what the AARP's role in government is. I know they are considered a controversial lobbyist group. But how do they affect politics and sway others to vote their way.

AARP most significant purpose is allegedly and supposedly protecting the interests of its membership.  Inasmuch, AARP is a financially power entity and has the ability to sway political opinions thanks in part to their membership and collations with other political factions.\n\nWhile singularly, AARP may win some battles, generally speaking is usually is a joint effort with other lobbyist groups.


i have a question where i have to compute the distances under the specified conditions. Here is the information given:\n\nTemperature: 26 degrees celcious\nTape Length: 30.009 m\nrequired horizontal distance: 114.691m\n\nim not sure what it means...i am looking for the uncorrected distance, hence they have me the required horzontal distance ( which i assume to be the corrected distance)\n\nother information needed\n\ntape standardization length: 30.000m\nstandardiztion temperature: 20 degrees celcious\nmodulous of elasticity for the tape: 11.6 times 10 to the negative6\n\ncan n e body help me...

The coefficient of thermal expansion of steel (assuming you are using a steel tape) is about 0.0000065/ degree F. A difference of 15 degrees in temperature will cause a change in length of nearly 0.01 feet in a 100 foot tape. Therefore a measurement made with a steel tape on an extremely hot day in the summer cannot be expected to agree with one mage during zero weather.\n\nThere is a formula for this (in English system) for the amount for correction for temperature:\n\nC=Lα(T-t)\nWhere C is the correction applied\nL is the length in feet\nT is the temperature at which the tape was used\nT is the temperature at which the tape was standardized\nΑ is the coefficient of thermal expansion.\n\nThere should be a formula just like this but with a different coefficient of thermal expansion in metric.


they would love use. we could give the israelites some land like we did the indians. and make a doctrine were they could still visit the holy land.

Israel is definitely a flash point in the mideast and a big reason why there is such a reift between the US and most of the Muslim world.   I have no clue why we continue to support them to the extent that we do ---- likley due all the political contributions in the US ---- We let Israel have a secret nuclear weapons cache, but we threaten Iran for the same thing - no wonder we are viewed the way we are.   I am not saying give the land back. but clearly the borders need to be reset and a lot more settlements taken down --- The US policy on Israel has not worked in the US's favor in over 4 decades ---- It really needs to change


and she seems pretty cool but i get this wierd vibe from her...like this crazy vibe...she stares at me all through class...so i get this feeling she digs me...should i ask her out even though i have this strange vibe from her or should i just leave it alone?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Are you afraid she might eat you. She's probably thinking "whats wrong with me, why won't anybody talk to me....please"


if you get arrested with someone but on different charges should the time they hold you have anything to do with the proccesing of the other person?  also if the two people are dating does that mean that only one has the right to make a phone call?

I am employed in the Criminal Justice Field.  Firstly, the law does give you the right to a telephone call.  You each get a phone call.  In my County within California, you can't be held in a intake processing holding cell for over twelve hours unless they can't verify your identity within that time frame (unlikely).  Within the twelve hours they must provide you with a booking receipt that includes your charges and bail information.  Depending on the charges you may be kept in custody pending your arraignment, be given the opportunity to call a bail bondsman and post bail or be cited (given a court date) and released.  If you must remain in custody, you must be assigned a housing cell within that twelve hours.  If you are to be released you may have to wait beyond the twelve hours in a release tank.  the entire process from intake to release onto the streets is usually within sixteen hours so consider yourself lucky. \n\nIf it is shift change, of course there may be a delay because of the officer information exchange and naturally people slow their work pace toward end of shift.  \n\nThey may have been questioning your boyfriend or a third party while you were in custody to obtain additional criminal evidence against you in order to add charges to your case.  If they are questioning your boyfriend they may hold you longer then what is necessary to process and release you for the reason stated above.\n\nBest of Luck


I am looking for peewee football or football leagues my son can enter. But I can't find any in the San Fernando Valley, CA. Does anyone know of any?

Check out is the local police community league has anything available. \n\nI know in the Bay Area, there is a league called P.A.L.\n\nIt's a league sponsered by the local police. Maybe San Fernamdo Valley has something like that.

Two weeks ago I bumped into an old guyfriend, now he is going into the Marine Corps in three weeks, I use to be in loved with him two years ago, and so was he. I do still love him, but I am not in love anymore with him. When we saw each other, all he did was stare, like he has never seen me before. We broke up our friendship two years ago, long story. Now the thing is now I regret giving him my phone number, he use to play these mind games with me long ago. He wants me to see him in a few weeks before he leaves, but I am now kicking myself over this, giving him my phone number because I believe he wants me to think about him, miss him, rehash on the memories, he hasn't called yet, which I think is a good thing, I don't know maybe I made a mistake again!!! Yet I also fear that him going in the Marine Corp, he will lose his life. So what should I do?? I am thinking about not seeing him before he leaves, but then that sounds selfish. Sigh, I hate this.

i think you are playing games with your own mind. honestly, not to sound sarcastic. but in my eyes you are really overanalyzing the whole situation. just breathe, stretch, shake and let it go. relax. if he calls, he calls, if not then oh well. act on your feelings. do what feels right to you-----not what you think he'll most likely respond to.


if you wanted to, would you rather wait till death takes you and have someone freeze you and wait for future technology to catch up and be able to revive you, or be cloned while you're still alive in order to live longer? cloning would be able to be done repeatedly, but freezing sounds bizzare...

Hmmmm... I think I would just rather die gracefully like I'm supposed to.  I don't want to out stay my welcome!


I'm tweleve and I'm turning thirteen in july I also like alot boys how do I choose and how do I found out that they like me?

You mean "caucasian." Anyway, you are 12 and you're too young to date. Guys your age are only after one thing, so don't even bother. Wait until you are older to date, i'd say 18. You can flirt, maybe go on dates, movies, kiss a little but don't go falling head over heels for every good looking guy. Take it easy. Focus on school work hehe :) How do you choose a guy? how about you choose zero, zilch, nada, nothing! trust me, you don't need a boyfriend now. When I was your age I never wanted a boyfriend because I knew they only wanted sex and wanted to have fun then break my heart so I chose not to get involved with any at all and now I am 21 and have a great b/f. Even grown men take a long time to mature lol, how can a young one like 13 grow up?? They want fun and you will only be just that. I'm not trying to get in your case but wait ok, and be patient!! Don't date, don't do anything you will regret; your reputation is on the line and once it's screwed up it cannot be fixed. You are probably an 8th or 9th grader. No boys needed. Chill with your female friends. Ciao.


Early speculation proposed that the Moon broke off from the Earth's crust due to centrifugal force, leaving an ocean basin (presumed to be the Pacific) behind as a scar. This concept requires too great an initial spin of the Earth and the presumption of a Pacific origin is not compatible with the geological standard model, the theory of plate tectonics. Others speculated the Moon formed elsewhere and was captured into its orbit. Two of the other theories include the coformation or condensation theory and the impact theory, which speculates that the Moon formed from the debris that resulted from a collision between the early Earth and a planetesimal.\n\nThe coformation or condensation hypothesis posits that the Earth and the Moon formed together at about the same time from the primordial accretion disk, the Moon forming from material surrounding the coalescing proto-Earth, similar to the way the planets formed around the Sun. Some suggest that this hypothesis fails to adequately explain the depletion of iron in the Moon.\n\nRecently, the giant impact hypothesis has been considered a more viable scientific theory for the moon's origin than the coformation or condensation theory. The Giant Impact theory holds that the Moon formed from the ejecta resulting from a collision between a very early, semi-molten Earth and a planet-like object the size of Mars, which has been referred to as Theia or Orpheus. The material ejected from this impact would have gathered in orbit around Earth and formed the Moon. This hypothesis is bolstered by two main observations: First, the composition of the Moon resembles that of Earth's crust, whereas it has relatively few heavy elements that would have been present if it formed by itself out of the same material from which Earth formed. Second, through radiometric dating, it has been determined that the Moon's crust formed between 20 and 30 million years after that of Earth, despite its smallness and associated larger loss of internal heat.\n\nThe geological epochs of the Moon are defined based on the dating of various significant impact events in the Moon's history. Analysis of craters and Moon rocks show that there was a late heavy bombardment by asteroids around the period 4.0 to 3.8 billion years ago.\n\nTidal forces deformed the once molten Moon into an ellipsoid, with the major axis pointed towards Earth.\n\nIn 2005, a team of scientists from Germany, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland measured the Moon's age at 4.527 ± 0.010 billion years, which would imply that it was formed only 30–50 million years after the origin of the solar system.[4]


When a tennis ball is used it will lose pressure and have less of a bounce.  However, there are devices which allow you to re-pressurize tennis balls and gain some of their original bounce back for a limited time.  The devices often have two parts where one end screws into the other and thus increases the internal pressure of the canister.  The balls inside the canister will eventually reach an equilibrium similar to the pressure inside the canister and this results in an increased bounce.


And an apocolypse that will send everyone to hell but you? Please tell me you are not serious.

Maybe not so much of a man sitting in the clouds watching over us, but I do believe in something more powerful.  Maybe its fate, maybe its god, maybe its even the devil, but there has to be more to this life then just being here.  I don't have beliefs like the major religions, but I have ideas.


my fiance has cheated on his ex wife before he met me and i asked him why he cheated on her and he said he was very unhappy and he did not get the attention that he wanted all he got was negative such as your stupid, you wont amount to anything ,your a bad father ect.  i was so afraid that he will cheat on me but he says he never will because he loves me alot more than he loved his ex wifes,they were always mean to him.  he is such a kind person,all they ever did was fight with him,  me and troy never fight we get along great.  he has also said tha he has never felt this way before about any one.  do you think he will ever cheat??  i really dont think he will but there is always that little bit of doubt.  well what do yall think??

I think I can't believe how women believe that stuff. ,... oh I mean, I have a bridge to sell you... hahahahaha


Personally, I prefer Mark Warner (www.draftmarkwarner.com).\n\nOther popular choices are McCain, Giulani, H. Clinton, Feingold, and a few others.

The problem is that if people blame Bush's idiocy for our troubles, they probably also think that the solution would be to get him out of office, but if they think we'll be saved by "Hillary in '08," or any other politician, they're even slower than Bush. \n\nRegardless of who's occupying the White House, there has never been an idiot running this country. There's too much power and money at stake for an idiot to gain control of it. If the president is an idiot,(And He IS An Idiot) he's only in the White House because someone else has firm control over him. Someone somewhere has a lot more control over the fate of this nation than our "president" does. \n\nOf course this reasoning begs the question "if this country isn't being run by an idiot, why is everything going so horribly wrong?" The answer is that it's going wrong by design. \n\nMany Citizens Make the assumption that this country is being run by people who are acting in the interest of Americans, but nothing can be further from the truth. Instead of accusing Bush of doing a lousy job, or being a lousy president, please try to think in terms of Bush's "boss" being someone other than the American people, and his "job" as being to grab as much cash as he can for himself and his friends before driving this country into the ground. \nIf you look at his presidency in that light, you can instantly see that he's doing a marvelous job, and he's the best "president" an enemy nation could ever hope to see in the White House.The fact of the matter is that America as we know it (or knew it) is being systematically destroyed, and the politicians from both political parties are making this possible.


SURYANARAYAN's FAMILY SHATTERED.\n \nThe news of Indian telecom engineer K Suryanarayan's killing by his Taliban abductors in Afghanistan shattered his family in Hyderabad.\n\nThe engineer's wife Manjula fainted while his two daughters and a son, all aged between 5 and 13 years, were crying inconsolably. His father, K Chandrasekhar, a retired government employee and mother were too shocked to react.\n\nThe family received the news from the television channels barely an hour after they met Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy, who assured them that the government was making all efforts to seek his early and safe release.\n\nAfter some reassuring words by the chief minister came the shocking news.

It can't be true - the peace loving, compassionate, gentle, caring, kind hearted, honest, pious (hope that doesn't start another world wide riot) muslims actually hurting someone - no waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy.  \n\nYou can't possibly have your facts correct.  \n\nIt MUST have been some haliburton guys working on behalf of Bush.\n\nI have worked with middle easterners for 8 years.  Their word us worthless.  This isn't what I have read.  This isn't what I have heard.  This is what I have lived.  \n\nIf they put their name on a contract, you can wipe your *ss with it because that's all the paper is worth.  They are the most abhorrent people on the planet.\n\nIf it wasn't for oil - name one thing they contribute to the worlds society beside sand?\n\nAnd please, don't tell me about the sh*t they did 2,000 years ago.


I'm adding second Hard.Do i set jummper to master or cable select?and why?

if you are connecting the HDD to an existing cable set the existing HDD/CD to master and set the new one to slave \n\nif you are using a cable with no other devices attached then you can set to master\n\nthe reason for selecting master would be that the OS boots from the master and some of the older OS will not boot from slave

This is a tough math question for me: How many zeros does 5000! (5,000 factorial) END WITH?

It is important to remember that fives, when multiplied by an even number, will give zero. There will always be more even numbers than multiples of five so we can use all factors of five. 5000 divided by 5 is 1000. There are 1000 zeros right now. 5000 divided by 25 is 200. There are 200 more zeros. 5000 divided by 125 is 40. 5000 divided by 625 is 8. 5000 divided by 3125 only is 1 whole number. There are 1249zeros coming from fives. \n\nThere are 1249 zeros at the end of 5,000!
