Major League Baseball and steroids. What ever happened to apple pie? What are we teaching our children?

There are many points of view to this question. Some people, like Charles Barkley (NBA analyst for TNT), would tell you that it is NOT the responsibility of athletes and sports franchises to raise your children or teach them what kind of person to be. They claim that's the parent's responsibility. And that is true... to a degree.\n\nHowever, the parent's job of teaching a child the difference between right and wrong becomes much more difficult when a child can watch a professional athlete reach the pinnacle of his profession by flaunting the laws of a country and the ethics of the sport. How do you explain that cheating is wrong when the child can clearly to point an example that shows how a person benefits from it and is allowed to get away with it?\n\nThe only answer I see is to talk plainly with a child and explain that life isn't always fair, that those who do wrong aren't always caught, and that sometimes, even when they are caught, they aren't punished. Truth is the best way to make a child understand something. And it might also help to make sure they fully understand that, in the end, it's just a game and doesn't have any lasting impact on the real world.

Would the Philippines be better off had it opted to be a colony of the US? like Guam,Virgin Islands,Hawaii?

In my observation, most of the countries colonized by Spain are like the Philippines, not as good and advanced. Unlike countries colonized by UK like Hong Kong and Malaysia, they are way better.

essay question on the book white noise: what is the novels critique of contemporary culture? 6-8 page paper?

Our dependence upon technology and the fear it fosters as technology becomes a more prevalent entity in our everyday life is the critique of contemporary culture--for example, the strange chemicals in the school that kill a worker cleaning up the asbestos or the conversation between Jack and Babette in the bedroom that is constantly interrupted by a blaring television set. I hope this helps you get another perspective on the novel. Good luck.

I want to set up a VOIP business between 2 cities in 2 different country.?

Honestly, you wont' find anyone (myself included) who understands VOIP on here that will just give you the answers for free. Additionally, there are huge drawbacks to VOIP that you may want to consider\n\nVoIP technology still has a few shortcomings that have led some to believe that it is not ready for widespread deployment. However, many industry analysts predicted that 2005 was the "Year of Inflection," where more IP PBX ports shipped than legacy digital PBX ports.\n\nImplementation challenges\n\nBecause IP does not provide any mechanism to ensure that data packets are delivered in sequential order, or provide any Quality of Service guarantees, VoIP implementations may face problems dealing with latency (especially if satellite circuits are involved), and jitter. They are faced with the problem of restructuring streams of received IP packets, which can come in any order and have packets delayed or missing, to ensure that the ensuing audio stream maintains a proper time consistency. This functionality is usually accomplished by means of a jitter buffer. Another main challenge is routing VoIP traffic to traverse certain firewalls and NAT. Intermediary devices called Session Border Controllers (SBC) are often used to achieve this, though some proprietary systems such as Skype traverse firewall and NAT without a SBC by using users' computers as super node servers to route other people's calls. Other methods to traverse firewalls involve using protocols such as STUN or ICE.\n\nDSL Internet access\n\nVoIP technology does not necessarily require broadband Internet access, but this usually supports better quality of service. A sizable percentage of homes today are connected to the Internet through DSL, which requires a traditional phone line. Having to pay for VoIP in addition to both a basic phone line and broadband Internet access reduces the potential benefits of VoIP. However, some regional telephone companies now offer DSL service without the phone (often called "naked DSL"), thus saving you money when you switch to VoIP. VoIP can also be used with Cable Internet instead of DSL, eliminating the need to purchase two telephone lines.\n\nReliability\n\nConventional telephones are connected directly to telephone company phone lines, which in the event of a power failure are kept functioning by back-up generators or batteries located at the telephone exchange. However, household VoIP hardware uses broadband modems and other equipment powered by household electricity, which may be subject to outages. In order to use VoIP during a power outage, an uninterruptible power supply or a generator must be installed on the premises. Early adopters of VoIP may also be users of other phone equipment, such as PBX and cordless phone bases, that rely on power not provided by the telephone company.\n\nSome broadband connections may have less than desirable reliability. Where IP packets are lost or delayed at any point in the network between VoIP users, there will be a momentary drop-out of voice. This is more noticeable in highly congested networks and/or where there is long distances and/or interworking between end points. Technology has improved the reliability and voice quality over time and will continue to improve VoIP performance as time goes on.\n\nEmergency calls - 911 calls\n\nThe nature of IP makes it difficult to geographically locate network users. Emergency calls, therefore, cannot easily be routed to a nearby call center, and are impossible on some VoIP systems. Moreover, in the event that the caller is unable to give an address, emergency services may be unable to locate them in any other way. Following the lead of mobile phone operators , several VoIP carriers are already implementing a technical work-around. The United States government had set a deadline, requiring VoIP carriers to implement E911, however, the deadline is being appealed by several of the leading VoIP companies.\n\nThis is a differe


what to do if your child feels bullied my the teacher, child aged 6yrs/?

You need to arrange a meeting with the teacher immediately to address this - have another person with you, and keep notes of what was said.  Don't go in all guns blazing, be polite but firm and explain your concerns in a dignified manner.  If you do not get anywhere with the teacher submit a formal written complaint to the head teacher and ask for a meeting with him/her to disucss your concerns and what can be done.  Take notes of everything and copies of all letters/details of phone calls.  Take notes of anything your child tells you and of any changes you notice in your child behaviour - reluctance to go to school, nightmares, bedwetting, acting out of character. The teacher has behaved unreasonably, but give them a chance to give their version as you have so far only heard one side.  As I said - make notes of everything, the more documentation you have the stronger your case if you do need to take this any further. It's hard to stay calm and rational in this situation, I know but you've a better chance of a positive outcome if you do!


Cost accounting studies the cost of doing something.  Environmental cost accounting studies the cost of doing things to the environment.  For example, if a lumber company is going to cut down a section of forest what are the costs to the eco system, to the wildlife.  To the surrounding community.  Then a dollar value is placed on these various costs to find out what the real cost of cutting down a section of forest is.

A bump on your penis can be many different things. Of course, the most frightening things that it could be are STDs. This is why going to a doctor for a diagnosis is so important. Depending on the differences in what the bump on your penis looks like, it could be one of several different STDs, or it could be none of them. For example, most bumps that are related to herpes look more like blisters, so if you have bumps that do not appear to be blisters, you probably don’t have herpes. However, you should still get it checked out.  \n\nThere are other things that cause a bump on your penis. The most common, however, is simply blocked hair follicles. This problem can cause bumps anywhere on the body, not just the genital area (although it’s much more worrisome when it occurs in the genital area). While you should still go and see a doctor, generally the only treatment for blocked follicles is to wash gently and to be careful not to scratch or use lotions that can cause the skin to be more broken up.

how much sands are available thruout the world ?

Sands? Let me get this straight. You want to know how many sands are available? Holy crap, man. How do you even go about the thought processes to develop that question. Was it a whim? Did you just wake up and decide you wanted to know how many sands are available. First of all, if that question made sense you could pass it off as a moment of insanity. This is just ludricous. How many sands are there? Since this is a ridiculous question, here is a ridiculous answer: fifty-six Bazillion


Are there any loans out there that will let you borrow money if you have no credit history?

Yes.  If you have collateral, you take out a loan with a bank.  Also, you can secure a credit card and establish a history.\n\nAditionally, there are several government back loans, managed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac that can be applied for mortgates (or FHA or GI Bill).  There are also student loans that can be taken out for studies.  You really have to be more specific.  It seems that you don't know anything at all about finance...I would recommend you learn a lot more before you start taking out loans.  Read up on it first.

I don't know what you mean by 'mirchy' or 'hyderabad' but, here's a general answer about FM reception.  Your Hi-Fi system has an FM tuner and the sensitivity is fixed - you can't change it.  What you can do is to provide more signal strength to the tuner by connecting an antenna.  There are many kinds of FM antennas on the market, pick the one that involves the least amount of work and fits within your space.  Suggest you start with a simple wire di-pole (looks like the letter T).  Connect it to the two terminals on the back of your Hi-Fi that say 'FM Antenna'.  There are also 'active' FM antennas that have built in amplifiers and of course you can always install an outside antenna just like you would do for TV reception.  Once you've selected the best fit for your situation, get it as high up as possible - the higher you place it, the more signal it will receive.  Move things around, try a different wall or something near a window.  Large metal items could be blocking your signal.  Good luck!

Once you believe, and you know you are ready to accept the responsibilities as a Muslim, all you have to do is recite the Shahadah. You can either do this at a mosque, in which they will help you and provide resources for you to learn more, or you can declare it alone to God, as God is the only witness you truly need.\nTransliteration: "Ash-hadu ana la eelaha il-Allah, wa as-hadu ana Muhammad rasool Allah."\nTranslation: "I testify that there is no god but God, and I testify that Muhammad is His messenger."\n\nIf this is the decision God has led you to, the I congratulate you and wish you all the best in this life and the next!\n\nBelow are some links for new Muslims and for non-Muslims who wish to learn more about Islam. And as another person mentioned, ignore those who insult and hate, because the only thing that accompanies fear and hatred are lies. Nobody would expect Osama bin Laden to give an honest report of Christianity, so why expect an Islamophobe to give an honest report about Islam?

System\n\nThe Console class provides basic input and output support for applications that read from and write characters to the console. If the console does not exist, as in a GUI application, writing to the console produces no result, and no exception is raised.\nThe standard input, output, and error streams are represented by properties, and are automatically associated with the console when the application starts. Applications can redirect these properties to other streams; for example, streams associated with files instead of the console. [Note: For additional information see the System.Console.SetIn(System.IO.TextReader), System.Console.SetOut(System.IO.TextWriter), and System.Console.SetError(System.IO.TextWriter) methods.]\n\nBy default, the read methods in this class use the standard input stream and the write methods use the standard output stream.


Why a debit goes on the left and a credit on the right, where does this procedure began?

Ok...this is an easy question with a complex answer.  Debit is latin for left and credit is anything that goes on the right.  Think about a balance sheet with assets on the left and liabilities and equity on the right.  To increase accounts on either side of the balance sheet, you have to use a debit/credit (which ever one corresponds to the side of the account that you are increasing).  Decreases in an account use the opposite placement.  For example to increase cash (an asset), you would use a debit.  Lowering cash would use a credit.  A note payable (a liability and on the right side of the balance sheet) is increased by crediting and decreased by debiting.  \n\nRemember that all income statement accounts close to Retained Earnings (an equity item and on the right side of the balance sheet).  Revenues and gains increase this account while expenses and losses decrease this account.  Therefore, revenues are credits (because they increase retained earnings when net income is closed to the balance sheet) and expenses are debits.  This is the best way I have of thinking about this relationship.  Hope it helps.

is GaI3 polar or non polar ......is AsF5 polar or nonpolar...?

Thanks NeuroProf.\n\nThe molecule AsF5 is trigonal bipyramidal in shape. First lay out all the bond pairs in that shape and then see if the 'pulling effect' of all the bonds cancel each other. Here, there are 3 bond pairs (of Cl) at the corners of the triangle, 1 bond pair at the bottom and 1 at the top. The Cl at the top pulls electrons and the pulling effect is cancelled by the one at the bottom. Considering the 3 bond pairs left in the middle, 2 are angled at 120 degress and one is at 90 degrees to the top and bottom bond pair. So the pulling effect of the 2 pairs is cancelled by the one at 90 degrees. Overall dipole cancels out and there is no charge distribution, so the molecule is non-polar.\n\nIn BrF4- (with square planar shape), the pulling effect of the lone pair at the top is cancelled by that of the lone pair at the bottom. This leaves 4 F atoms arranged at the corners of the square in the middle. The pulling effect(dipole) of 2 diagonal F atoms will cancel because they are in the same plane and are the same atoms. Hence all the 4 dipoles cancel out and that of the lone pairs too, so the molecule is non-polar.\n\nIn GaI3, the 3 I atoms are arranged in a trigonal planar manner. The dipole of the 2 I atoms at the sides will cancel, but the I atom at the top is not paired with any other atom at the bottom, so the dipole cannot cancel out. Since overall dipole moment is not equal to zero, the molecule is polar.\n\nAre you sure the molecule is SbF6- and not SeF6? If it's SbF6 then the shape will be square bipyramidal or octahedral (similar to BrF4-). The dipole of the 2 F atoms at the top and bottom will cancel and that of 2 diagonal F atoms will cancel and overall dipole will be zero, so the molecule will be non-polar.

how x rays are taken when a person enters an x ray room? And how long does it take?

The detection of X-rays is based on various methods. The most commonly known method are a photographic plate, or cassette, and rare earth screens.\n\nThe X-ray photographic plate is frequently used in hospitals to produce images of the internal organs and bones of a patient. The part of the patient to be X-rayed is placed between the X-ray source and the photographic plate to produce what is a shadow of all the internal structure of that particular part of the body being X-rayed. The X-rays are blocked by dense tissues such as bone and pass through soft tissues. Where the X-rays strike the photographic plate it turns black when it is developed. So where the X-rays go through "soft" parts of the body like organs and skin the plate turns black. Contrast compounds containing barium or iodine can be injected in the artery of a particular organ. The contrast compounds strongly block the X-rays and hence the circulation of the organ can be more readily seen.\n\nAnother method of detecting X-rays is a fluorescent plate. In modern hospitals a special plastic sheet is used in place of the photographic plate. The plastic sheet is read by a scanning laser beam. The resultant image is then stored in a computer. The plastic sheet can be used over and over again.

Is it ok to listen to music on Winamp while playing a video game (with game sounds turned off)?

It depends on your computer.  If you have a low-end system, then obviously having other applications opened while you are gaming will slow your performance because you are using more resources.  If you have enough RAM and a fast enough processor to play the games while listening to the music, then it will work fine.  I generally use Windows Media Player 10 or Creative MediaSource Player to listen to music while I play Call Of Duty online.\n\nHOLY CRAP!! Like, 6 people answered while I was typing this!!  I guess there really ARE other people in the world as bored as I am right now. :)


It's not. A 5-cylinder is naturally unbalanced, unlike a 4, 6, or 8 cylinder. Therefore you get more vibration than a conventional V6. 5-cylinder engines don't have the refinement of 6 cylinder engines and they consume more fuel than a 4-cylinder. That's why most manufacturers don't use 5-cylinder powerplants. Too many compromises in the design.


How can I get a marriage annulled?Got married 12 years ago but never lived together!?

You would have needed to apply for annulment within three years of your wedding. Sadly, it is too late for you.\nHowever, it sounds like you have a straightforward case for divorce. You can apply for divorce on grounds of 5 Years Separation. You wont even need your wife's consent. You could probably take the DIY route to getting a divorce. It is quite easy and is a lot cheaper than doing it through solicitors.


Was Tiger Woods wrong for using the word 'spaz' to descirbe his lack of putting ability?

"It's not what you say it's the way that you say it."\n\nHad Tiger Woods directed the term at a Spastic person (or any other disabled person) in a derogatory manner then it could have caused offense, but he didn't.\n\nThe US and UK use of the word is different.  In the UK it's a corruption of Spastic, the term given to people with Cerebral Palsy.  In the US it's a more generalized insult along the lines of idiot, moron or numb-skull.\n\nNo offense was meant when he made the comment and the only people to have taken issue with his comment appear to be the namby-pamby, woolly-minded, politically correct brigade whose primary concern seems to be to dictate to people how they live their lives.\n\nInterestingly, more non-disabled people are offended by the use of the word spaz than are disabled people.  In fact, when you look at the results of the BBC's survey into 'offensive' terms it's the politically correct terms such as 'special', 'brave' and 'wheelchair bound' that cause more offense to disabled people than calling them 'psycho', 'mong' or 'window-licker'.\n\nPerhaps these PC orientated people should butt out of everyone's lives and realize the reality of the situation which is that they're the ones causing the offense - something the BBC survey quite clearly shows to be the case.

In North American social, cultural and political discourse, soccer mom refers broadly to a demographic group of women with school-age children. In general, the term "soccer mom" refers to the concept of American post-feminist motherhood as an amalgam of traditional values with modern feminism (1960s-80s), though with modern conveniences such as the SUV, cell phone. A soccer mom is typically imagined as upper middle class, probably college-educated, most often suburban or exurban, and typically white.\n\nThe "soccer mom" typically indicates a single income family, where the husband works while the wife is a homemaker. Since the 1980s, two incomes are widely considered to be "requirement" of the typical working class family in the U.S., and in this context single incomes symbolise both affluence and a disconnect from the struggling working class.\n\nHence in the term may carry pejorative connotations, where the soccer mom may connote a woman who is aloof and has little responsibility or occupation, other than providing basic transportation for her children. In feminist circles, the "soccer mom" may connote a woman who has given up on a career, particularly after having some early aspirations and achievements. In this context this may carry the meaning of someone of diminished individual character.

what drove teens to kill fellow students & teachers?

all of the above. Yeah, we did; we didn't love them enough.\n\nTV did. They are latchkey kids that learn their morals and lose their virtue by being force-fed violence, mythology, perversions, delusions, drugs, sex, and mix it all with a little blood-lust and devil worship, declare God to be dead, and what do you get? \n\nWithout true purpose and meaning, insert Darwins Evolution in the place of Creationism, do away with God, or insert a little doubt, we are worthless creatures of chance. If we just disintegrate to dust at death, then party hardy, throw care to the wind, murder, maim and destroy, because it's all meaningless anyway.


Boys and Girls - When you're walking in the street and people pass alongside, do you look at them ?

I look at all of them and acknowledge with a smile,wave,or head nod mostly.Sometimes i use verbal greetings and handshakes as well.

Why do children have to have so many school holidays?

Our school district designates certain days as "Teacher Work Days" or "Teacher Development Days" when students cannot be on campus. These are important days that allow teachers to spend time needed to plan, collaborate and generally improve their teaching skills by attending workshops and conferences. With most of the school year spent in the classroom, teachers hardly have time to meet with other teachers to collaborate, plan, explore new teaching techniques or improve their skills.\n\nAfter a school day or on Friday, most teachers (at our school at least) take loads of work home to grade, etc. Some teachers regularly come in on the weekend, too. A few days spread out during the school year without students provides necessary non-student time during the work week that teachers really need.\n\nI agree that the child care issue is a problem for those households with two parents who work. However, if a school year calendar is provided which tell parents when non-student days are scheduled, couldn't parents arrange child care well ahead of time? Before I became a teacher six years ago--when I had children at home--I reviewed the school year calendar when I got it before the end of the current school year and arranged childcare well ahead of time. Just a thought.

Great question, as a Senior SAP Instructor my advice is the following:  The job you are planning is very complicated and requires knowledge in a broad range of fields to include Metal/Steel work, electrical, mechanical, HVAC, permits, architecture.  Therefore the right partners will make this successful.\n\nThe most important thing to start is to align yourself with a good HVAC contractor that has done jobs of the size you are outlining (i.e. how many sqft is the building, how much common area space, how many buffer zones, how many heat/cooling pumps would be required (assuming closed loop system).  It is likely that this HVAC contractor will have acquaintances that can help and also be able to make recommendations on equipment based on experience (I've put up 6 large EVAPCO towers as a proj mgr).\n\nFrom here your HVAC guys should be able to enumerate the remaider of the concerns.  Bear in mind you'll be dealing with things like; new penetrations through the roof to accomodate facilities feeding the tower, the need architect and manufacture steel to specification and later install those girders to support the tower.  You'll need at least a 20ton crane to boom the unit to the top, you may need to consider building a shadowbox around the unit so it's nicer in appearance and so forth.  Don't forget the permits you may require from the local municipalities either.\n\nGood luck,\n\nAlfredo


if your heart is aching so bad, and no one to talk to, what do you usually do?

Blogging can help.  I have found that just writing out my feelings leaves my mind feeling cleansed.  I know how you feel, as I've been there myself.


Would you consider the word "asinine" to be a profanity?

No, of course not! But I can see how someone could say it with the emphasis on the AS and make it SOUND like a profanity! But that's why you posted your question in the "words and wordplay" category...!


If you chose to keep your old Windows installation and the FAT32 file system, you should be able to uninstall Windows XP. Please see "Sources".\n\nIn case you do not have an option to uninstall Windows, back-up all your important files onto CDR/CDRW/DVDR/'another hard disk'/'other forms of memory', (create a boot floppy as described in next paragraph,) format your hard disk, and install the version of Windows you want.\n\nWindows XP's CD is always bootable, so you won't require a boot floppy. I assume it must be the same for 2000, but for 9x, most probably you will need a boot floppy. After you finish backing up, insert a blank floppy and (from within XP) format it as a start-up disk. To format,\n-Open My Computer (in your new XP Start menu).\n-Right-click the floppy drive icon.\n-Select "Format".\n-Put a tick mark in the check box named "Create an MS-DOS startup disk".\n-Click "Start" button (the one in the Format dialog box)\nOnly then should you format your hard disk.\n\nI'm not sure of FAT32 taking up more space, but if you use NT/2000/XP, then it is highly recommended that you try your best in sticking to NTFS. Check out the Sources for some information regarding the two file systems.\n_______\nViva La Dvorak! - www.dvzine.org

they're saying what they want to say as in saying what really comes form their heart, but saying what they need to say as in saying what they think you'd like to here...they don't want to make the wrong move so they usually say what they think they need to say, until they are comfortable around a girl long enough that they can just say want they want to say.


I have Windows XP and i want to uninstall it, how do I do that. I will reinstall it with my reinstallation DVD

You don't have to uninstall and then reinstall.  The installation cd comes with a repair feature, it you only want to fix things, that does not disturb your data.  You put the cd in the drive and go through the install procedure.  When you get to the part where it asks if you want to use the Repair Console, say no, skip that, and go on with things until you have to press F8, and then after that there should be a notice that an installation of XP has been detected and what do you want to do, and one of the options is press R to Repair the installation.\n\nOn the other hand, if you want to competely erase XP from the drive, then just put the cd in the drive and follow the prompts to format the partition.

is there really a tenth planet behind pluto called sedna?

Actually, the people who found it honestly want to have it called Xena.\n\nOn July 29, 2005, a Trans-Neptunian object called 2003 UB313 was announced, which on the basis of its magnitude and simple albedo considerations is assumed to be larger than Pluto. This caused its discoverers to call it the "10th planet" of the solar system, although there is no consensus yet on whether to call it a planet, and others consider the new discovery to be the strongest argument yet for demoting Pluto to the status of a minor planet.\n\nBut until then, it's being refered to as Planet X.


What are some of the deadlies Viruses and Bacterias?  And what is deadlier between bacteria and viruses?

As a general rule viruses are more deadly, more infectious, and harder to cure.  Some bacteria like Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Tuberculosis), Bacillus anthracis (Anthrax), Yersina pestis (Black Plague) can all be more deadly than a common cold (Rhinovirus).  But viruses not bacteria are what occupy the highest level of containment, level four.  Viruses like small pox.


oh man i like this boy but i am a tomboy i don't know what boys like from girls what should i do ??????????

You dont need to change, guys will like u just the way you are. I think that girls who say that guys prefer more girly girls are stupid. Girls that are used to hanging out with guys are usually the ones that are better at flirting, communicating, and having a good time. Guys dont want a girl whos all prissy and stuckup.

The black hole information paradox results from the combination of quantum mechanics and general relativity. It was a contentious subject for science since it violated a commonly assumed tenet of science - that information cannot be destroyed. See Liouville's theorem (Hamiltonian) and unitary transformation.\n\nIn 1975, Stephen Hawking and Jacob Bekenstein showed that black holes should slowly radiate away energy, which poses a problem. From the no hair theorem one would expect the Hawking radiation to be completely independent of the material entering the black hole. However, if the material entering the black hole were a pure quantum state, the transformation of that state into the mixed state of Hawking radiation would destroy information about the original quantum state. This violates Liouville's theorem and presents a physical paradox.\n\nMore precisely, if we have an entangled pure state and we throw in one part of the entangled system into the black hole while keeping the other part outside, we get a mixed state after we take the partial trace over the interior of the black hole. But since everything within the interior of the black hole will hit the singularity within a fixed finite time, the part which is traced over partially might "disappear", never to appear again. Of course, we don't really know what goes on at singularities once quantum effects are taken into account, which is why this is conjectural and controversial.\n\nHawking was convinced however because of the simple elegance of the resulting equation which 'unified' Thermodynamics, Relativity, Gravity and Hawking's own work on the Big Bang. This annoyed many physicists, notably John Preskill, who in 1997 bet Hawking and Kip Thorne that information was not lost in black holes.\n\nThere are various ideas about how the paradox is solved. Since the 1998 discovery of the AdS/CFT correspondence, the predominant belief among physicists is that information is preserved and that Hawking radiation is not precisely thermal but receives quantum corrections. Other possibilities include the information being contained in a Planckian remnant left over at the end of Hawking radiation or a modification of the laws of quantum mechanics to allow for non-unitary time evolution.\n\nIn July 2004 Stephen Hawking announced a theory that quantum perturbations of the event horizon could allow information to escape from a black hole, which would resolve the information paradox. Basically, his argument assumes the AdS/CFT correspondence which states that an AdS black hole is dual to a thermal conformal field theory, which is unitary. However, as of 2004 the full details of the theory have yet to be published, so most peers are reserving judgment before accepting the result. When announcing his result, Hawking also conceded the 1997 bet, paying Preskill with a baseball encyclopedia (ISBN 189496327X) 'from which information can be retrieved at will'. Thorne, however, remains unconvinced of Hawking's proof and declined to contribute to the award.\n\n\n[edit]\n\nThe Equation\n\nEntropy of a black hole.\n\n\nS = \frac{c^{3}A}{4 \hbar G}\n\n\nS = entropy, c = speed of light, A = surface area, ħ ("h-bar") is the reduced Planck's Constant (or Dirac's Constant), G = constant of gravitation.

Why do universities make it hard to get in when they recieve money for offering an education that should be fr

Universities do not have unlimited space.  They are restricted in the size of enrollment by the physical size of the buildings on the campus.  At my university, the classes are typically jammed and some students have to plan on taking 5 years to finish a degree that should be completed in 4.  There is also a limit on the number of professors and how many students that they can handle.


The Relationship Between Ventilatory Threshold and Lactate Threshold?

It is commonly believed that the ventilatory threshold occurs because of a decrease in blood pH. When muscles exercise at  low intensity, very little lactate is produced. However, lactate, like ventilation, is produced at high intensities of exercise. The transition between small amounts of lactate production and large amounts occurs over a small range of intensities and, in fact, nearly coincides with the ventilatory threshold. This makes sense because the lactate production is associated with a decrease in pH, which is then buffered by bicarbonate (Henderson-Hasselbach Equation), resulting in an increase in blood pCO2. Chemoreceptors then stimulate the brain to increase ventilation which returns pCO2  to normal.\n\nAlthough this makes physiological sense, it is not completely accurate. Patients with McArdle's Disease, are unable to produce lactate, and therefore have no lactate threshold. However, they still have a ventilatory threshold. Therefore, there is more to the ventilatory threshold than just pH, which we already knew because the two points do not occur at exactly the same intensity.

so u have an integral 0 on bottom to .4 on top of [ tan^-1(x^7) + sin(x^7) ] dx. Use the series to approximate

For the second part of your question, you need to differentiate 1/(1+x)^4 for n times and divide by n! and then substitute x=0 to work out the nth coefficient of the power series. The first constant term is found by substituting 0 into 1/(1+x)^4, so it is 1. The second term is found by differentiating 1/(1+x)^4 once and substitute x=0 and then divide by "1!". The third term is produced by differentiate  1/(1+x)^4 twice and substitute x=0 and then divide by "2!" factorial. You can get as many terms as you want, the series looks someting like:\n\n1 -4x + (20/2!)*x^2 -(120/3!)*x^3 .................\n\nSubstitute x= 0.16 to approximate the number, for 7 terms the answer is close to 0.55223. I might have made mistakes in my calc so you might need to calculate these values again.


If it was GHB:\nConsumption of less than 1 gram of GHB acts as a relaxant, causing a loss of muscle tone and reduced inhibitions. Consumption of 1 to 2 grams causes a strong feeling of relaxation and slows the heart rate and respiration. At this dosage level, GHB also interferes with blood circulation, motor coordination, and balance. In stronger doses, 2 to 4 grams, pronounced interference with motor and speech control occurs. A coma-like sleep may be induced, requiring intubation to wake the user. When mixed with alcohol, the depressant effects of GHB are enhanced. This can lead to respiratory depression, unconsciousness, coma, and overdose.\n\nSide effects associated with GHB may include nausea, vomiting, delusions, depression, vertigo, hallucinations, seizures, respiratory distress, loss of consciousness, slowed heart rate, lowered blood pressure, amnesia, and coma.

What does 1/4,2/4,3/4,4/4 mean when talking about violins ?

if you are reading sheet music it has to do with a time signature. I the top number indicates how many beats are in each measure while the bottom means what type of note gets the beat. If you were refering to the size of a violin the sizes are 1/16 1/4 1/2 3/4 and4/4. A full size violin is 4/4 so a 1/2 violin is half the size of a full size.

Describe how an electrscope works to detect static electricity?

There are different types.\n\nHowever, the gold leaf electroscopes have two very thin leaves (not necessarily made of gold) attached to a conductive rod. The rod has a metal knob at the other end.\n\nWhen some charge is imparted to the knob, the charge flows to the leaves. As the two leaves same type of charge (either positive or negative), they repel each other.\n\nAmount of charge can be estimated by the amount of separation of the leaves.

What is the purpose of burning a peanut?

The purpose of burning a peanut is to show the high calorie count.  As you know, fire needs a feul source, i.e. energy.  And calories are actually nothing more than a numerical measurement of energy.  So the longer and hotter a feul source burns, the more energy, or calories it has.  Hope this was helpful!

toddler with undiagnosed health problem?

A toddler’s health is something parents should be concerned about because at this stage a toddler is very active, they encounter many new things and do a lot of dangerous things. Because toddlers are more active and because many parents tend to go to more places once children begin getting older the chances of colds and flu increase, parents should prepare.\nImmunizations\n\nParents should be up to date on their children’s vaccinations, vaccinations are very important tools that help prevent various childhood diseases and protect against germs that are floating in the air.\n\nEach time a child is immunized a parent is given a shot record that keeps track of all of the vaccinations a child has received. Parents should keep this shot record in a safe place at all times and if a parent isn’t quite sure if their child is up to date or not a quick call to the pediatrician or local health department should help a parent make sure.\n\nFever\n\nMost parents never think about what they will do when their toddler is feverish. At the first sign of fever take the toddlers temperature reading and call the pediatrician or the pharmacist to ask what type of pain reliever is best but most will recommend Tylenol or Motrin, follow the dosage directions on the packaging. \n\nPlace the toddler in the bathtub for a lukewarm bath because sometimes a bath can counteract to reduce a fever. \n\nAfter the bath the toddler should be dressed in warm clothing to keep them snug, usually a temperature can be brought down this way but it may return within hours.  Give the toddler another bath if needed but if a fever is high and refuses to come down, take the toddler to the doctor or emergency room because a fever could be a sign of something simple or serious. \n\nDiarrhea\n\nToddlers tend to experiment with lots of food that sometimes results with diarrhea! When in doubt or in severe cases, call the pediatrician or pharmacist for direction but do not give anyone with diarrhea milk or dairy products; instead go to the market to purchase pediatric drinks made specifically for little tots with diarrhea. \n\nThe ideal meal for a toddler with diarrhea is rice and bread or if the toddler doesn’t have much of an appetite a couple of pieces of toast or some crackers is great. The point is to get some absorbent into the stomach to absorb the painful liquid. \n\nIt’s also important to drink lots of liquid because with diarrhea it’s easy to become dehydrated. Clear drinks such as water, ginger ale, sprite or 7-up are acceptable but avoid darker liquid drinks or juices with a lot of sugar.\n\nCuts & Scrapes\n\nOne thing that parents should brace for are injuries, just in case. Toddlers are on the move and sometimes a scrape on the knee or the elbow is inevitable. A first aid kit is a must.\n\nWhile some cuts and scrapes are worse than others they should always be cleaned with an antibiotic spray or a liquid like hydrogen peroxide to reduce the risk of infection. Neosporin is an excellent ointment to aid in the healing process and use a band-aid to finish off. \n\nFalls\n\nFalls are pretty tricky and head injuries … even worse. If a toddler falls, even if there are no marks left behind, keep a close eye on them and if they act even a tad bit strange take them to a physician immediately. Head injuries can be very serious and they are nothing to be played around with.\n\nThe risk of concussion or internal damage is to high to leave up to chance.\n\nIf a toddler falls inspect them closely to make sure there are no hidden injuries, talk to them, ask them if they are okay and monitor them closely for at least two hours after, do not let a toddler go to sleep after a bump on the head. It’s always best to call a pediatrician or the hospital emergency room.\n\nToddlers are adorable mini people that need lots of supervision and toddlers are rough and tough tots that love action, just keep it safe.

why do people insist that their religion is best??

i think people claim that their religion is the best because they believe in it, because they are convinced that this is the best way to reach God. but as long as you respect the other persons' beliefs it is not a problem. the problem arises only when you try to force the others to believe in your religion or when you harm them for being the members of a religious group. this proves that the ones who do such things are not the servants of god.


The appendix has no known function in humans. Evidence suggests that our evolutionary ancestors used their appendixes to digest tough food like tree bark, but we don't use ours in digestion now. Some scientists believe that the appendix will disappear from the human body.\nThe appendix is rich in infection-fighting lymphoid cells, suggesting that it might play a role in the immune system. Whether the appendix has a function or not, it can be removed without any ill effects.

thats a dizzying, yet interesting question (dont ask me why its dizzying, it just is)...\n\nlyrics, can describe me exactly as i am. they can say it bluntly and just say it. music, on the other hand, can describe me but more subtly... so it depends what mood im in... whether i want to tell everyone what im thinking or whether i want to be more discreet about it...\n\nmost of the time i want to tell people what im thinking, but cant, which is more music... what would it sound like? uhhh... that depends on what day it is. something which sounds like remembering, what im remembering... something loud, yet quiet at the same time, rough, yet smooth, all things contasting... aka, muse!\n\nthe lyrics would be a combination of songs which remind me of me... breaking the habit (linkin park) easier to run (linkin park) butterflies and hurricanes (muse)... and lyrics shouting out what i believe in......\n\ni doubt that made sense to anyone else, but oh well.....

What is the negative effect of a trade deficit on the country which is not buying as much?

The negative effect is that no country can produce everything it needs due to lack of natural resources. So, the standard of living will not be as great. Fewer things to buy and enjoy.

My Friend does not belive in any religon.?

Believing in Religion and having a since of Spirituality are two different things. I believe in God and consider myself a very spiritual person (which I define as a person who has belief in something more than just the physical/principles/morals, etc). However, I do not believe in organized religion or the institution of Church. Yet I have a strong connection to God. \n\nSo I say it all depends on your friends core belief. He can still have a belief system that does not revolve around choosing a religion.

"The Republic of Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) is a landlocked country located in the southern part of the continent of Africa, between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. It is bordered by South Africa to the south, Botswana to the west, Zambia to the north, and Mozambique to the east. The name Zimbabwe is derived from "dzimba dzamabwe" meaning "stone buildings" in the Shona language.[1] Its use as the county's name is a tribute to Great Zimbabwe, site of the capital of the Munhumutapa Empire."

Have you seen the Movie 'Lord of War' w/ Nicholas Cage?

I thought it was a very well thought out movie with fine acting.  Very thought provoking.  I found myself thinking about it and discussing it for several days after I saw the movie.\n\nRead the trivia page on that movie in IMDB.  Yuri was based on a composite of 5 real people.  "Andy" was a pretty accurate portrayal of Charles Taylor.


it wasnt played last year its played every 4years.


Well, it depends on what sort of drug therapy they are on.  Hormone therapy definately changes natural odors.  You can even ask this question of women who have gone through menopause or had hystorectomies!!  I have known post-ops that I couldn't tell by sight or smell to have once been men, and I am very sensitive to these things since I am a bisexual woman.\n\nBut of course, any transexual is doing it to feel comfortable in their own skin, not to impress anyone else.


Has anyone heard about another Terminator movie that was supposed to have started  filming last August '05?

Yes, according to IMDB.com, a script has been completed and preliminary arrangements have been made but they aren't due to start shooting till early next year. The film will then be scheduled for release sometime in 2008.\n\nThis movie will probably be about the war against Man and the Machines which had been hinted at so many times in the previous 3 films.


Could be a fungal infection, the body is prone to these when depressed, you will know if the soreness is very red and has a sticky (sweaty) feel to it. This is also contributed to by being overweight, and can effect the groin, belly button, and other folds of skin. If the rash has a lot of flaky skin it could also be a local psoriasis, which can also be brought on by depression. \n\nIf it is fungal canesten HC is one of the best solutions, but long term use is not recommended. If it is psoriasis ask your doctor if he can prescribe Dovobet. \n\nOn top of this use an unperfumed soap, use a lfannel and shower every day, wash your flannel after, and change your clothing regularly to prevent spread and reinfection.

I am a Scorpio, and my husband is a Scorpio too. You will find that honesty matters above all else. He will be able to read your face & eyes anyway, so you better be telling the truth! If not, he will find out, and will make you pay. Scorpio males (or females) are very sexual. We will try anything once. Then we will do it again, and again, and again if it's fun!! We can be moody. We enjoy our "alone" time occasionally. This has nothing to do with you, we just like to have a little space now & again. Scorpios will be loyal to the end until you screw them over! Then, you better run because they will find a way to get revenge, and it will not be pretty. You may have to work a little harder to break down your man's security gate, Scorpios are always secretive. Make the effort. It will be worth your time. \n\nGood Luck!  :)

Well my mother is a phsycian. It really depends on a wide range of things. If you have your own practice, work for someone else, or a mix of both. It also depends on their speciality and level of skill. Physicians with a few years of experience can expect to start out at around $150,000 per year. The more specialized the doctor is the more money they make. Another large factor is location. In private practice it depends on how large the practice is and how many patients are seen and can be significantly more than the 150K. Doctors earn their money though. They work long hours, work hard, and put up with a lot of stress. Who would want to have to worry about saving lives every day. With a person's life on your shoulders, this causes a huge amount of stress.


should stupid little catholic skools b allowed to give uniform violations if youre not even wearing it?

In my opinion, school is not fair at all.  She let you slide on the first one and you pushed your luck when you wore the second one.  They have a dress code for a reason and you violated it when you wore the skirt.  Your answer back was rude and uncalled for.


Do u think b-n curious about the same sex makes u gay/lesbian?

No. Psychologist say that it is common amongst some straight people to be curious about it. Many of them never actually act upon it. Some act upon it and don't like it afterwards and it ends the curiousity. Some act upon it and like it and it turns out they are bisexual. \n\nIt all depends a lot on you and where your sexuality fits on the scale. There are those who are exclusive heterosexual and exclusive homosexuals. I'm the latter. I've never even thought about the opposite gender in a romantic or sexual way. Since I was a little boy I always wanted to kiss the boys and hold their hands. That's what it means to be an exclusive homosexual. And there are heterosexuals that are like that, too. They have never even thought about being with someone of the same gender. Then there are all the areas in between and right in the middle are the degrees of bisexuality. Some are bisexual, but lean more towards heterosexuality (meaning they enjoy and are attracted to both genders, but enjoy being sexual and romantic more with the opposite gender) and those that are bisexual but lean more towards homosexuality (meaning they enjoy and are attracted to both genders, but enjoy being sexual and romantic with someone of the same gender more). It is said that those who are exclusively heterosexual, exclusively homosexual, and those who are 50/50 bisexuals are actually the minority sexually. It is all the middle grey areas that are more common. Atleast that is what I've read.\n\nI mean, consider the type of scale it is\n\nHeterosexuality/Homosexuality\n100/0\n90/10\n80/20\n70/30\n60/40\n50/50\n40/60\n30/70\n20/80\n10/90\n0/100\n\nEach end is the exclusive (top being exclusive Heterosexual 100% heterosexual 0% homosexual and the bottom being exclusive Homosexual 0% heterosexual 100% homosexual) and the middle area is the grey area of bisexuality. Obviously a person who is 90% heterosexual and only 10% homosexual is probably not going to act on the homosexual tendency, it is very weak. But that person might occasionally have a dream that is somewhat homosexual. The same would be true of a person who is 90% homosexual and 10% heterosexual. They may realize they are gay, but occasionally would have a heterosexual dream. That might cause the person to question, but probably never act. As you get closer towards the middle the more likely the person is to have actually acted upon their interests...gay or straight.


How do you save a relationship when it's your fault??

you have to realise that it is your fault and admit to your partner that it is your fault and you realise it, be honest with your partner and just try to make it up to him/her the best you can.\n\nDo whatever your partner wants to do, make him/her feel special and happy. Write a poem or letter if your partner does not want to hear or speak to you.

How do I know if I have set my preload correctly on my mountain bike forks?

When setting up your suspension, there are a couple of things to look for.\n\n1st, You need to know how much total travel your fork has. When you sit on your bike in your normal riding position, the fork should compress anywhere from 10 to 20 percent of the total travel. This is known as "Sag". If there's too little sag, then decrease the preload. Conversely, if there's too much sag, increase preload.\n\nSecond thing to check is how the fork works when you are actually riding. When out on your typical trail and riding in your normal manner, try to pay attention to how much fork travel is used up when you hit the hardest or biggest bump (or drop) on the trail. If the fork bottoms out lightly, that's OK and lets you know that you are using all of the available travel. But if the fork bottoms very hard, or on many different bumps, then the preload or spring rate is too light and needs to be stiffened up a bit either by adjusting preload or changing to stiffer springs (if you use an air fork, simply increase the air pressure).\n\nIf you are not sure how much fork travel is being used while riding, put a zip tie around one of the upper fork legs, and slide it down so it rests against the top of the lower leg. When you ride the bike over bumps, the zip tie will move upwards as the fork compresses. This will indicate very accurately how much of the travel is being used and can be a guide in setting preload.\n\nHope this helps.

How are cathedrals, basilicas, and churches distinguished? (Other types of church buildings as well.)?

Hey I hope that this will help you out some, I dusted off my architecture book and looked some stuff up for ya. first of all this says that Basilica generally refers to a rectangular building that has a central section with a higher roof like a nave of a church, flanked by lower aisles on both long sides, and that early Christians adapted the form as a basis for a church design. so basilicas can be churches and were the most common church in the sixth century. And a cathedral is a church that serves as a seat of a bishop, so it's not an actual design of a church, It's just a designation given to a church that contains the seat of a bishop.\nOther christian church buildings were martyria: buildings erected for memorials to commemorate saints or sites of importance.\nBaptistery: Buildings that were often built for baptisms.\nMausoleum: building's erected to contain tombs of important people. \nSo the basilica can be a type of church and cathedral is just a designation given to some churches. I didn't list all the types of churches and ill bet there are more than I could ever learn but i hope that this will help.

Why do you have to tell him that? He already hinted that he doesn't want to be "pressed". The smartest thing to do is ACT like in love, but don't give the actual verbal message. \n\nMy guess is that YOU want him to love you back. It's not about revealing your feelings, it's about making him love you. Unfortunately, this doesn't just happen in a single day and it cannot be coerced by similar questions.\n\nLet him be, act like a loving person and your (and his) feelings will become evident.

I am from Marathi Medium student how should i improve communication skill in english i want to be fluent?

I am an Indian too - and so, feel fully qualified to understand your problem, and answer you :\nTo speak and write well [correctly], you must first become very familiar with the language : And the best method for that is to read as much as you can, of the CORRECT kind of English...\nThe Readers’ Digest is best for your purpose - with its simple and contemporary [present-day] English, mostly written in a crisp ‘active’ voice. \nKeeping a dictionary nearby, to check any word you do not understand, make it a point to read at least 2 articles every day - and then try repeating from memory [in English, of course !] whatever you had read. \nAlso keep a good book on English Grammar [Wren & Martin’s High School Grammar is possibly the best reference book available] handy - to spot-check and clear any doubts on Grammar.\nThe more you keep reading [next step : novels by British authors, whose English does not involve too much ‘slang’], the better will your vocabulary [range of words you know to use] be ! \n...At the same time, take steps to improve your pronounciation : \nGet VCDs or DVDs of famous films like ‘My Fair Lady’ which highlight correct English pronounciation. See this film again and again, follow how the actors pronounce words, and try imitating them aloud : You will sound funny to even yourself at first - but [if you only do not give up midway !] after a few weeks, you will find that your accents and pronounciations, have certainly improved.\n....The next step : record your speaking in English, and listen to it yourself. Try to find where all you had gone wrong, and make efforts to correct those mistakes...\n...After about 3-4 months of continuous effort [not before that, please !], both your vocabulary and pronounciation will have become good enough - to give you the confidence to write !\n...Do not think of writing as a ‘composition’ class in a school : Imagine that you are talking to a person sitting in front of you - and simply put down what you would have talked about in writing ! [As you should have adequate knowledge of spellings by now, this will not be too much of a problem !]\nNow, read whatever you have written, aloud - and try to judge what SOUNDS RIGHT, and what does not. Try to find out what was wrong, by yourself, and correct it. Repeat this, until you feel satisfied with what you have written ! \n...Continue this process of reading, speaking, plus writing - while testing out your new talents, upon only your friends and family. Hopefully, there should be at least one person among them, who knows GOOD English - who will support your efforts.\n...Self help, dear friend, is the BEST help : No amount of expensive ‘private tutions’, or ‘conversational courses’ given by so-called experts can help you - as only your will, and efforts can.\nMy Best Wishes to you.

Why are humans not considered good organisms for genetic studies?

Humans are not the most studied organism as far as genetics go.  That's probably the mouse or fruit fly.  Humans are crappy subjects.  For one, our DNA mixes alot, we mate w/ whoever we want to.  Good genetic organisms are genetically identical from one indiv. to the next.  For two, our generation time is 20 years or so (the time between birth and having first kid).  And we only pop out 1 or 2 a year.  Good genetic organisms like mice can pop out 8 every 8 weeks or so (6 or 5 weeks if they are pushing it). Better, flies lifecycle is 1-2 weeks, and they generate thousands of offspring.  Further, we can't manipulate our genome, it's not ethical to do so.  Also, although we can communicate with each other, we haev to follow all sorts of protocols, we can't just inject people with whatever we want.  Human research is extremely slow and extremely expensive, for these reasons mainly.  Nobody wants to kill a patient during a clinical trial, many trials have been halted due to this.    Population studies on humans is very complicated and huge family trees are reqd to generate useful data.  I think these are the main reasons, dunno if i missed any.


What does this MS WORD ERROR MESSAGE MEAN:  "Word has insufficient memory.  You not be able to undo this actio

I think its because Word creates a .tmp version of whatever you are working on which is basically a duplicate of the original file...in this way if you select Undo from the edit option on your menu (or I think also if your computer crashes and Word tries to retrieve whatever you were previously working on) it can carry out the action.  I'd say that what you are trying to cut/paste is too large for it to hold 2 of them in memory....anyhow that's my guess.

Zen Buddism is a combination of Mahayana Buddism and What?

Zen is a branch of Buddhism and as such is based on and deeply rooted in the Buddha's teachings. It is also very much the child of China and has some teaching derived from Confucianism and Taoism. The Zen branch calls itself the Buddha Heart School and traces its lineage back to the Buddha, with the Flower Sermon being the first transmission of the Dharma. It's common for daily chanting to include the lineage of the school, reciting the names of all "dharma ancestors" and teachers that have transmitted Zen teaching.\n\nZen is part of the Mahayana branch of Buddhism (Northern) and some practical differences are to be found with the Theravadins (Southern). For example, Zen and other Mahayana traditions place greater emphasis on the practice of the Paramitas (Path of Perfection) and less on the Eightfold Path, although familiarity with the Eightfold Path is still required. Another difference is in sutra study; Zen and other Mahayana traditions focus on the Mahayana Canon, while the Southern schools place emphasis on Tripitaka study.\n\nAll Zen schools, Rinzai or Soto, are versed in Buddhist Doctrine and Buddhist Philosophy, including the Precepts, Four Noble Truths, Pratitya Samutpada, Three Signs of Being, Five Skandhas, Three Fires, Four Right Efforts, Five Hindrances, Ten Fetters, and the Bhavacakra (and its symbolic representation). At the same time, Zen's emphasis on direct seeing into one's nature keeps it lively and at the edge of the tradition.\n\nThis openness has allowed non-Buddhists to practice Zen, especially outside of Asia, and even for the curious phenomenon of an emerging Christian Zen lineage, as well as one or two lines that call themselves "nonsectarian." With no official governing body, it's perhaps impossible to declare any authentic lineage "heretical." Some schools emphasize lineage and trace their line of teachers back to Japan, Korea, Vietnam or China; other schools do not.

I need to find a place to have a child evaluated for a learning disorder?

If your child is school aged your first conversation may be with his or her teacher. If the teacher does not feel an evaluation is necessary then you may request one via an IEE (Independent Educational Eval). There are strict federal and state time guide/deadline when it comes to evals and special ed. Make sure you document everything. You may chose to have the Eval done yourself and often insurance will cover it. if you do this then you own the Eval not the school system and you may share it with them or not. however, sharing the info usually benefits the child. you could ask your doctor for a referral or recommendation or call your insurance company. The initial pre-referral and Eval process can be time consuming and is a big learning experience for the parent. The most important thing you can do is to remember that you are your child's best advocate and to advocate well you must educate yourself. Here are some very helpful websites for you: www.wrightslaw.com; www.schwablearning.org; http://www.fcsn.org/index.html (federation for children with special needs); http://www.ldonline.com/. I hope these are helpful. You are not alone and the special needs community is very helpful and supportive. Best of luck.

how to get recruited by colleges for baseball?

Let colleges know you're interested in playing for them.  If you're not batting .600 with 17 HR and 57 RBI in 20 games, scouts may or may not make it out to your games.  The suggestion of sending schools tapes of your play is excellent.  Also, you can apply to the schools that you would like to go to after checking up on whether they're looking for someone with your baseball talents as well.\n\nIf you're a pitcher who can throw gas, you'll get attention.  If you can bat as I mentioned above, you will, too.  Also, if you're a good catcher with a decent bat, that's the fastest way up the food chain.\n\nIf you're looking to play ball as a way of getting through college, remember that most teams don't hand out many full baseball scholarships.  Last I checked, a team had 11.7 scholarships in D-I, so most of their players get half or quarter rides.\n\nGood luck with your play.  And if a pro scout takes interest in you, take interest in him.  You can go to college anytime... :)
