The problem with Vick is that he looks to run the ball instead of throwing it.  He was that way in college, and his first few years in the pros.\n\nLike any professional athlete, he wants to get his respect in the media, so he tried to adapt his style by throwing the ball more often.  The truth is, he just isn't a great drop back QB.  He has all of the tools, but he just hasn't had to do it all that much.\n\nGiven time, he could be a great all around quater back, but as teams learn his tendancies and shut his legs down forcing him to throw, his "stats" aren't going to be very strong.\n\nI live in Atlanta and heard all of the criticism, but the most telling thing of all is his record as a starting quarterback.  I don't know the numbers off of the top of my head, but he wins about 70% of the games he starts.

can any1 tell me about the importance of project management professional.?

If you're talking about the PMP certification from PMI, it lets people know that you have some PM experience, and that you are familiar with PMBOK and with PM best practices.\n\nWhether this means you're an effective project manager or not is a different question.  Just because you have your PMP doesn't mean you're any good - but it does mean you can speak "the language".

Brett Favre..,Should he or should he go?

He should retire.....if Brett came back and had another terrible year he may tarnish his career. It's also not a great situation.  The Packers brought in a new coach, they're obviously not contending, and they seem to be in rebuild mode. If Brett were to come back, he would be playing for a last place team.  It would be better for him to retire and let Aaron Rodgers take over and begin what he is destined for and that is a career in coaching.


They pay their royalties on a monthly basis.  One week out of the year, they keep a log of what they play and who wrote it.  The publishing companies use this information to calculate payment for the song writers.  \n\nWhen I worked in radio, we subscribed to BMI and ASCAP. We paid around $1,000-$2,000 per month to each service to play their artists.

anyone else believe that lehmann deserve that no.1 spot as germany's goalie instead of kahn??

Personally, I believe Lehman is a lot better than Kahn. He's one of the main reasons Arsenal had a full unbeated season (03-04)! No other team in the history of Football has bean able to do that! A lot of it was becaues of Lehman's awesome goal-keeping!\n\nUnfortunately, I think Kahn would probably be selected, as he has a larger 'presence' in the National team. Also, he led Germany far in the last few tournaments...\n\nLet's hope Jens Lehman is finally selected!


what's is the main difference between man & woman please tel with brife?

Depends on where they are from, what society they grew up in and such. But overall. . . \n\nMen tend to look for either men in women's bodies-> someone you can watch the game with and then have sex with.\nMother type figures->clean up after them and cook, then have sex with.\n\nMen also tend to speak more directly, if there's an issue they say it.\n\nWomen are more likely to talk around issues, and read more into actions and behaviors then men.\n\nWomen are more likely to look for the love of thier lives from day one.  The prince or knight protector is one image women tend to look for.  \n\nBut at the end of the day we are both just looking for a companion.

is there a cure for multiple sclerosis ?

Time being we cant find the cure but there are ways of slowing down the process and lessen the inflammation..usage of steroids help in reducing the damage....the main reason we cant find the cure is because we cant find the main cause of this particular disease...\nMultiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). MS lesions, characterized by perivascular infiltration of monocytes and lymphocytes, appear as indurated areas in pathologic specimens; hence, the term "sclerosis in plaques." \n\nPrevent relapses or disease progression by using the “ABCR” immunomodulatory drugs (ie, interferon beta-1a IM [Avonex], interferon beta-1b SC [Betaseron], glatiramer acetate SC [Copaxone], or interferon beta-1a SC [Rebif]). These 4 medications have been approved by the US FDA and are currently used in the United States as first-line therapies for MS. As a rule of thumb, the ABCR medications tend to decrease the rate of MS relapses by approximately one third, with the highest efficacy demonstrated in clinical trials for the high-dose, high-frequency interferons (ie, Betaseron [34%] and Rebif [33%]).\n\nbut still there is no cure..only drugs to prevent the progression...

Does the government distract us from the truth?

Truth is relative to the beholder.  These days it is more of an opinion rather than a fact.  The government has evolved into what the founding fathers tried to guard so much against with the constitution.  Dissenting views are very rarely a part of our government.\n\nHere are some examples:\nTRUTH - There is scientific evidence supporting global warming.\nGOVERNMENT TRUTH - There is no evidence and anyone that disagrees will be dealt with.  See the first source for more details.\n\nTRUTH - Some military officials told the Bush Administration that several hundred thousand troops would be required to win in IRAQ and lots of time\nGOVERNMENT TRUTH - This assesment did not agree with upper managements assesment of a quick easy war.  General Shinseki was made a lame duck Army Chief of Staff and Army secretary Thomas White was fired in April 2003 after agreeing with dissenting remarks.  See the second source for details.\n\nThese are just two examples.  There is not nearly enough space to get into it here.  \n\nRight or wrong, the truth is in the eye of the beholder.

Light has no rest mass, since it can't be stopped without absorbing it, but it does have a mass equivalence due to its energy.  The energy of a photon of a particular wavelength of light is given by E=(h-bar)(nu) and the mass equivalence of energy is E=MC^2, so (h-bar)(nu)=MC^2, solve for M, and you get M=(h-bar)(nu)/C^2 as the mass equivalence for an individual photon.  It's a really, really small number, even for high energy wavelengths of light, plus light moves very fast past an object which could assert a gravitational pull on in, so light only bends by an observable amount in really high gravitational fields.

what are the prerequisites for becoming a radiologist, MRI or CAT scan technician?

It really depends what state you are in.  In CA, you must go to an accredited radiologic technologist program.  I had to complete about two years of a college, with classes in biology, anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, psychology, algebra, computers etc.  I did this at my local community college.  Then I entered an x-ray program, and we again studied these subjects, but it was more geared towards how they related to the x-ray field.  My x-ray schooling consisted of about 1,700 class room hours and over 2,000 clinical hours.  Upon graduation, I had to pass the state licensing boards, then the national licensing boards.  There really are not many school based programs for CT scanning.  You must be a registered RT.  Normally, you get your training on the job once you've become a RT.  There is a national license for CT, but it is not a requirement.  MRI does not involve radiation, so you do not need your RT license.  But, unless you go to a MRI school (and those are very limited in number), it would be hard to get a job in that field.  There is also a national MRI license, but again it is not required to work in that field.  To find out if your state requires an accredited radiologic program, do a search with your state and "radiologic technologist licensing requirement."  Good luck!


What's the best way to learn Canadian French?

Depends on if you want to learn Acadian or Quebecois. Acadian French you can find in the South part of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and Quebecois, you can find in Quebec and some of the major cities (ie. Toronto, Ottawa)\nAcadian French is from the French who were deported to Louisanna after they wouldn't swear allegiance to the english throne. Some people made their way back up to Canada again... anyways, go visit some places that I mentiond above, and if you are really adventurous, Universite Sainte Anne in Nova Scotia has a summer immersion program that you can enroll in for the summer. It's the best because if you speak English three times while you are there, you get sent home, great incentive to speak French!!!\nGood luck

how do hedgehogs catch their preys? and how do they do it?

Given European Hedgehogs eat mostly slugs, snails and earthworms  as well as various other invertebrates not noted for clocking up many land-speed records, they just grab the prey with their teeth and chomp them quickly.However, they will go after frogs, snakes, birds eggs and nestlings.  They sniff `em out and eat `em before they get a chance to escape.When hunting snakes they will bite the snake multiple times in order to kill it.A hedgehog`s teeth are supprisingly sharp & vicious looking,I`ve seen many a happy hedgehog waddle around my garden snuffling up his prey at a relaxed walk.(Protein & gentle exercise at the same time...I bet they`re fit)\nHedgehogs can run quite fast if need be, and are supprisingly efficient swimmers too.They have been known to range up to 3 miles in one night.\n\nI can only speak for Great Britain, the European Hedgehog (erinaceus europaeus) is not threatened in my home country.(Unless you`re refering to their habit of curling up into a spiky ball when alarmed.)


I´m only gonna attemp thisbecause it´s kind of late and there´s a chance you´ll have to wait untill tomorow (and I guess you´re cramming). So if you don´t get anyother answers, pick and don´t let it go to waste)\n \nImagine you have a scalar function over R3, that is f(x,y,z). Pressure is a scalar - it is given by a number so there is no direction involved like with force.\n \nA pressure field can be defined as P = f(x,y,z) where the point (x,y,z) defines a point in space.\n \nA gradient, is a vector in space, that is, for a given point, e.g. (10, 20, 15), a gradient is a vector that could be (1, 5, -20). The thing is that the gradient points in the direction that you would have to follow if you were at (10, 20, 15) that would lead you to the maximum increase in the field (in this case, in presure). It also indicates the intensity of the increase (kind of like a derivative).\n \nAn example in the body can be given by the presure in the femur when you stand (on one leg). (These examples are acctually hard to give, because bio-mechanics is very complex; there is hidro-dinamics, flector moments etc. and few cases of hidro-statics or simple compression.) At the top end of it, it receives all the weigh of the body minus the weight of the leg. The pressure is that weight divided by the area of cross section at that point (extreme over simplification here). As you go down towards the middle of the femur, two things happen:\n1) the weight above the cross section increases;\n2) most important, the cross section reduces.\n \nSo we know that as you go down the pressure (force / area) increases. So the gradient along this part of the femur would be a vector pointing down.\n\nHope this was clear (and correct) enough.

Does anyone know where to find information on the courtship rituals of the Samurai?

I have several books on Samurai, but none of them go into courtship rituals.  The Samurai society was very structured, so arranged marriages were the norm.  They may talk about courtship in "The Tale of Genji", a very famous Japanese novel.  I haven't read it yet, though, so I'm not positive.  Wikipedia has a little on marriage, I've quoted it below and given a link.  Most of what is written about Samurai focuses on war and weapons.  You question is very interesting, sorry I can't tell you more.  I'm going to highlight your question to see if anyone comes up with a better answer.  Good luck!\n\nfrom wikipedia:\nThe marriage of samurai was done by having a marriage arranged by someone with the same or higher rank than those being married. While for those samurai in the upper ranks this was a necessity (as most had few opportunities to meet a female), this was a formality for lower ranked samurai. Most samurai married women from a samurai family, but for a lower ranked samurai marriages with commoners were permitted. In these marriages a dowry was brought by the woman and was used to start their new lives.\n\nA samurai could have a mistress but her background was strictly checked by higher ranked samurai. In many cases, this was treated like a marriage. "Kidnapping" a mistress, although common in fiction, would have been shameful, if not a crime. When she was a commoner, a messenger would be sent with betrothal money or a note for exemption of tax and ask for her parent's acceptance and many parents gladly accepted. If a samurai's wife gave birth to a son he could be a samurai.

why july and august got 31 calendar days?

July is named after Julius Caesar and gave it 31 days.  It was originally the fifth month of the year.  Per Wikipedia.org: "July was renamed for Julius Caesar, who was born in that month. Previously, it was called Quintilis in Latin, since it was the fifth month in the Roman calendar which started in March. Because of its origin, until the 18th century this month's name was pronounced the same way as the name "Julie"."\n\nAugustus took a day from February so August was the same length as July.  Per Wikipedia.org: "August was named in honor of Augustus. The month reputedly has 31 days because Augustus wanted as many days as Julius Caesar's July. Augustus placed the month where it is because that is when Cleopatra died. Before Augustus renamed August, it was called Sextilis in Latin, since it was the sixth month in the Roman calendar which started in March."

Gynecomastia is the excess development of glandular breast tissue in boys and men. Gynecomastia treatment depends on a number of factors. The cause of gynecomastia is the first factor that determines further course of action. There are several causes of gynecomastia including: puberty, steroid use, obesity, a multitude of medications, genetic disorders, tumors, liver problems, and other underlying diseases. \n\nPubertal gynecomastia is a common occurrence, affecting up to sixty percent of boys at this age. If gynecomastia is the result of pubertal development, the condition will usually resolve itself within a year or two, and no medical gynecomastia treatment is necessary. Gynecomastia treatment may not be necessary if the underlying cause of the condition is drug use. Generally, gynecomastia can be resolved in these cases by discontinuing the medication. \n\nIf gynecomastia is determined to be the result of an underlying disease, such as hyperthyroidism, hepatic conditions, or hypogonadism, gynecomastia treatment might involve treating the underlying condition. Often times, gynecomastia is resolved with this treatment of the underlying disease. Mild gynecomastia that can only be detected by a medical exam may also not require gynecomastia treatment. \n\nGynecomastia treatment involves a relatively safe and effective plastic surgery procedure. This treatment is growing evermore popular because of its affordability and desirable results. If a person is considering gynecomastia treatment, a plastic surgeon will be able to evaluate their condition to determine if they are a good candidate for plastic surgery. \nGynecomastia treatment also depends on the duration of a patient's symptoms. \nOKAY??

What does 825 CHINA stamped on jewelry means. It does not say 10kt or 14 kt.?

It is stamped "825 China" probably because it is made in China. The 825 is the code for Continental Silver (European) and it means the alloy contains 82.5% Silver.\nThe millesimal fineness (a system of denoting the purity of Platinum, Gold and Silver alloys by parts per thousand of pure metal in the alloy) for 14 carat Gold is 585 and for 10 carat Gold is 417, therefore the Gold jewelry would be stamped accordingly.

on what year was personal computer invented? and by who?

In the March, 1974, issue of QST magazine there appeared the first advertisement for a "personal computer." It was called the Scelbi (SCientific, ELectronic and BIological) and designed by the Scelbi Computer Consulting Company of Milford, Connecticut. Based on Intel's 8008 microprocessor, Scelbi sold for $565 and came with 1K of programmable memory, with an additional 15K of memory available for $2760. The second "personal computer kit" was the Mark-8 (also Intel 8008 based) designed by Jonathan Titus.\n--------------------------\nIn 1977, Radio Shack introduced its TRS-80 microcomputer, also nicknamed the "Trash-80". It was based on the Zilog Z80 processor (an 8-bit microprocessor whose instruction set is a superset of the Intel 8080)\n-----------------------------\nPersonal note... I was among the first users of the TRS-80, using it with my ham radio hobby for generation and decoding Morse code and radio teletype.

how to get a friend to jerk off with you?

You could try some friendly flirting to get a feel if the friend is into you, or if they think of you as just a friend.brother figure.\n\nIf your friend likes you then all you have to do is make a move. I like my guy friend, and I'd love it if he made a move on me. But if it was another friend I wasn't into, then no amount of seduction, planning or plotting could make me interested.\n\nSo it's just a matter of finding out if your friend is attracted to you or not.


i want information about history of computers?

Originally, the term "computer" referred to a person who performed numerical calculations under the direction of a mathematician, possibly with the aid of a variety of mechanical calculating devices such as the abacus onward. Examples of early calculating devices, the first ancestors of the computer, included the abacus and the Antikythera mechanism, an ancient Greek device for calculating the movements of planets, dating from about 87 BCE. The end of the Middle Ages saw a reinvigoration of European mathematics and engineering, and Wilhelm Schickard's 1623 device was the first of a number of European engineers to construct a mechanical calculator\n\nCharles Babbage was the first to conceptualize and design a fully programmable computer as early as 1837, but due to a combination of the limits of the technology of the time, limited finance, and an inability to resist tinkering with his design, the device was never actually constructed in his lifetime. A number of technologies that would later prove useful in computing, such as the punch card and the vacuum tube had appeared by the end of the 19th century, and large-scale automated data processing using punch cards was performed by tabulating machines designed by Hermann Hollerith.\n\nDuring the first half of the 20th century, many scientific computing needs were met by increasingly sophisticated, special-purpose analog computers, which used a direct mechanical or electrical model of the problem as a basis for computation. These became increasingly rare after the development of the programmable digital computer.\n\nA succession of steadily more powerful and flexible computing devices were constructed in the 1930s and 1940s, gradually adding the key features of modern computers, such as the use of digital electronics (invented by Claude Shannon in 1937) and more flexible programmability. Defining one point along this road as "the first computer" is exceedingly difficult. Notable achievements include the Atanasoff-Berry Computer, a special-purpose machine that used valve-driven (vacuum tube) computation, binary numbers, and regenerative memory; the secret British Colossus computer (1944), which had limited programmability but demonstrated that a device using thousands of valves could be made reliable and reprogrammed electronically; the American ENIAC (1946) — which was one of the first general purpose machine, but still used the decimal system and incorporated an inflexible architecture that meant reprogramming it essentially required it to be rewired and Konrad Zuse's Z machines, with the electromechanical Z3 (1941) being the first working machine featuring automatic binary arithmetic and feasible programability.\n\nThe team who developed ENIAC, recognizing its flaws, came up with a far more flexible and elegant design, which has become known as the stored program architecture, which is the basis from which virtually all modern computers were derived. A number of projects to develop computers based on the stored program architecture commenced in the late 1940s; the first of these were completed in Britain. The first to be up and running was the Small-Scale Experimental Machine, but the EDSAC was perhaps the first practical version.\n\n \nThe Apple II, an early personal computerValve-driven computer designs were in use throughout the 1950s, but were eventually replaced with transistor-based computers, which were smaller, faster, cheaper, and much more reliable, thus allowing them to be commercially produced, in the 1960s. By the 1970s, the adoption of integrated circuit technology had enabled computers to be produced at a low enough cost to allow individuals to own a personal computer of the type familiar today.

can i clear a speeding ticket off my record in illinois for doing 82 in A 55?

My husband got charged with reckless driving after doing 84 in a 55.  He was advised to hire a lawyer, which he did, even though it was a misdemeanor charge.  The lawyer got it reduced to speeding, and he had to pay a much smaller fine.  Far fewer points on his record too.  But of course, lawyers cost money, so in the end, he ended up paying the same amount.  But the advantage was the reduction in points on his record.  I have heard some cases in which the lawyer can get the charge dismissed entirely.  So, this might be a good route for you.


Name the parts that comprise the knee joint?

The knee is a complex, compound, condyloid variety of a synovial joint. It actually comprises two separate joints. The femoro-patellar joint consists of the patella, or "kneecap", a so-called "sesamoid bone" which sits within the tendon of the anterior thigh muscles, and the patellar groove on the front of the femur through which it slides. The femoro-tibial joint links the femur, or thigh bone, with the tibia, the main bone of the (lower) leg. The joint is bathed in a viscous fluid which is contained inside the "synovial" membrane, or "joint capsule". The recess behind the knee is called the "popliteal fossa".

What do rockclimbers use to protect their hands when climbing in the summer?

I've seen a few climbers use gloves, but they are significantly the minority, due to the gloves making it impossible for you to get a feel for the rock, which is why I don't use them.  Chalk gives you protection from moisture and to a much less extent temperature of the rock and friction.  But primarily, your best protection is to just keep going it until the calluses develop.


Not only is it bad it's gross and really creepy.


If I really want an item on ebay, are there any tricks other than a quick hand to win that item?

If you want an item, wait until the auction is almost over, unless it is a "Buy Now."  Before you bid, check their feedback to make sure they are reputable.  You can "watch" the auction by clicking an icon to the right of auction [I think. I sell more than buy].

how do i print a page off my monitor to my hpofficejet4215xi?

These instructions are for Windows computers (Sorry, but I don't have a MAC)...\n\nPress Alt-PrintScreen (like typing a shift-A or some other letter, you hold down the Alt key while typing the PrintScreen key).  This copies the current window into your clipboard.\n\nStart up a word processor (MS Word, Open Office Writer, etc.) or a paint program and press Ctrl-V.  This copies from the clipboard into the program.\n\nUse the program you just copied into to print the page.


Is internet gambling or wagering prohibited in Indiana?

someone answered this question no.  it is illegal in the united states to gamble over the internet. however, because of the free trade agreement that DOES NOT specifically prohibit internet gambling most other countries may offer it legally. cuba and north korea probably cannot offer it because i don't think the united states has any free trade with them and a few other countries. however, today, april 4, 2006 something is up specifically with costa rica.  but not to worry, there are 2 or three US based internet casinos that are illegal but nobody seems to care enough to enforce it.

a model of the process of celluar respiration inside the mitochondria.?

Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell.\nThe process occurs in two phases:glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid; the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water.\n\nIn eukaryotes, glycolysis occurs in the cytosol. The remaining processes take place in mitochondria. \n\nsee link.

You need to enable your WEP security feature in your WiFi Access Point. \n\nDepending on the brand you are using, there are different methods of accomplishing this task.\n\nOnce you have enabled WEP security, you will be generated a "key" to give to those other people whom you want to access your access point. This will prevent those unwanted bandwidth leeches from accessing your internet bandwidth.

It is part of the rebalance of pride.  Black slaves were beaten like dogs and worked like well slaves under the rule of whiteman. They lost their sense of self worth during this time and is slowly rebuilding it now.\n\nIt is a shame we can't be equal (and No We Are Not All Equal) and color blind. But it's the way it is today.  The majority of childhood hero's are white, all the presidents are white, and most entertainers today are white (though this is changing the most with music and hiphop).\n\nBlacks are just a guilty for the lack of integration as the whiteman. But the over compensation of pride black youth has today will continue to hinder most interraccial relationships for years to come.

when do american express travelers cheques expire?

I think they never expire and your bank has made a mistake.\n\nHere is a snippet from the link below:\nAmerican Express Travellers Cheques are accepted around the world. A wide variety of stores, restaurants and hotels accept them, as well as banks, other financial institutions, currency exchanges and American Express Travel Service locations. Or you may prefer to exchange your Travelers Cheques for local currency free of charge at over 86,000 locations around the world. And, since they never expire, you can save unused Travellers Cheques for your next trip.

Try asking this question in the engineering section under math and science.  That is where I ask all of my technical questions.


Well, easy. Just tickle the person having hiccups for a couple of second. Let him or her laugh out for a while. They will breathe normally afterwards. It works because it loosen up something which I can't remember what in your breathing passage way. A loud laugh will makes it better.\n\nHolding breath does helps but occasionally since some hiccups are too extreme that it is hard for a person to hold his or her breath for even a second or two.\n\nEven drinking water too. Seldom helps. Bottomline, try out these guidelines especially the tickling part.\n\nCheerios.

Why would the Comprehensive Crime Control Act abolish parole in the federal prison?

Talk to this boy & let him know that keeping this from your best friend is making you feel bad about the whole situation. In a way you're lying to your best friend & talking to this boy will help you figure out what the both of you want to do.

If she's truly your best friend she will be happy for you & her brother.


On some Topps baseball cards I just bought, the silver printing didnt print all the way. Are they worth more?

Actually, they are worth less. Fiending baseball card addicts typically shave off the slight amounts of aluminum, silver, gold, and platinum foil, with X-Acto knives and store in a mason jar. Separated by metal, of course. It takes about 1,440 packs of 1999 Upper Deck, for example, to fill a mason jar to the top with platinum foil. For the methodical devotion to process the average baseball card junkie displays in order to meet this goal, his rate of return is huge. That same mason jar of platinum metal, the metal which the addict himself shaved off the baseball card and which, all told, weighs 6.7oz. (=/- .15oz.) and can fetch upwards of $670,000 on the international market. This same level of gold is worth about $235,000; silver $62,760; aluminum $.06\n\nIt is possible that a baseball card abuser removed much of the foil before the cards were packaged. Unfortunately, it is true that abusers and addicts have been infiltrating baseball card factories with greater and greater frequency, ever since the 1993 Topps Black Gold debacle. While it is possible that a junkie or freak got to the cards before you, it is also just as likely that a simple manufacturing error produced the inferior cards you now have undoubtedly encased in crystal screw-down protectors. Either way, go ahead and take them out of the protectors because, since your cards in their current state have little value to the baseball card junkie who is always looking for a way to finance his addiction (witness his huge collection of baseball card paraphernalia), you will likely never be able to sell it at a show, to your local dealer, or on ebay. These cards are for personal use only.

When a COMPLEX  ovarian cyst ruptures, does the fluid from the sac cause any harm ?

Hi again.  That does change things a bit, doesn't it?  A complex ovarian cyst needs to be evaluated further.  A small percentage of these can be cancerous.\n\n"Sometimes cysts are complex, either containing partly fluid elements and partly solid elements or having septations (walls) within a fluid-filled cyst. In general, complex cysts are evaluated further, as some complex cysts may be cancerous. Depending on exactly how the cyst looks on ultrasound, your doctor may recommend blood work, a CT or MRI scan to get a better look at the cyst, or even surgery to remove the cyst. Many times a complex cyst can be evaluated via laparoscopy, but sometimes a large abdominal incision is required."  http://health.ivillage.com/gyno/cysts/0,,4ltl,00.html\n\n"With a complex one they would remove it and evaluate it for ovarian cancer."  http://www.baymoon.com/~gyncancer/library/blqa32septcyst.htm \nIf it was my body, since the cyst is not a simple cyst, I would have it removed.  If it were truly a simple cyst, with NO malignant characteristics on ultrasound, I would leave it and see if it remedied itself.  But, it sounds like there are no guarantees that this mass is benign.  So, in my opinion, it does not matter if it ruptures or not.  A cancer is a cancer, and I would not like to have that uncertainty in my body.

In Christianity, the Sabbath is a weekly religious day of rest as ordained by the fourth of the Ten Commandments. The Hebrew word ("šabbāth", שַׁבָּת) means "the [day] of rest (or ceasing)," as it entails a ceasing or resting from labor. The institution of the Sabbath was in respect for the day during which God rested after having completed the Creation in six days, (Genesis 2:2-3).\n\nOriginally denoting Saturday, the seventh day of the week, or, more precisely, the time period from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, the term Sabbath can now mean one of several things, depending on the context and the speaker:\n\nSaturday, as originally, in reference to Jewish or historical observance; \nSaturday, as above, as a day of observance for some Christian groups; \nSunday, as a day of observance for various other Christian groups. \nsaturday and sunday as a day of relaxing. \nThe word is also infrequently used to describe the annual Holy Days observed by several Christian groups, also called High Sabbaths or High Day Sabbaths (John 19:31): the First and Last Days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, the First Day of the Feast of Tabernacles, and the Eighth Day of the Feast.

I need help on something about a friend :(  PLEASE HELP!?

It's tough on your friend, being gay.  He feels outcast, different, and under a microscope.  He doesn't want anyone to know most likely because he feels that he will be picked on, made fun of, or worse.  He's probably not comfortable with his orientation, either.  He may not have the acceptance at home from his family.  If you're his 'only' friend, then you have a big responsibility.  It would be good to get him into a group of others that don't care about sexual orientation or whatever else.  It's all part of growing up and being more accepting of those around you - you seem to have it mastered.  As far as your bf is concerned.  You need to be truthful with him and not raise any doubts in his mind.  If you care enough about him, then be honest.  Keep the conversation confidential, and be honest with your friend, too.  If you're honest with him as well, he'll trust you more.  Good luck, and God bless.  Be safe and study hard...  :-)


who built the cars for the fast and the furious 3?  i know ep industries did them for the first two movies?

The movie will be released on June 16th in theatres and looks like the worst film ever made. Paul Walker and Vin Diesel will not be in it. \nI dont know how to find out the actual car builders, but I'm pretty sure it's not EP industries, since they are making this sequel WAY below the budget of the first two movies.\nIf you go to this link you can read about the cars:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fast_and_the_Furious:_Tokyo_Drift

what to do if i have a lot of small pimples on my face?

Bummer!  The first thing I would do in your situation would be to attempt to determine whether or not they're really pimples.  Where are they located on your face?  Are they limited to [a] specific area(s), or are they just random eruptions?  Are they on the very surface of your skin, or do they seem to be underneath the skin?  If you're sure that what you have are pimples, then I guess you could move on to the next step in the process to eliminate them.  \n\nThat next step might consist of you trying to assess the cause of your pimples.  This is where you carefully examine your diet, your facial cleansing routine and the products involved in it, what you've been exposed to, how often you wash your face, your shampoo, exfoliation, your facial moisturizer, your diet, how you wear your hair, what you use on your hair, any makeup products you use on your face, sunscreen, tanning lotions, exposure to harsh temperatures and climate related elements, how you touch your face, and how often you touch your face.  That last part is VERY important.  Do you scratch, pick, poke, squeeze, and prod at your blemishes?  Lots of people don't realize that they themselves are responsible for facial blemishes simply because they touched their own face with dirty or contaminated hands and fingers.  Maybe you should be washing your hands a little more if you happen to be one of those people who touches their face often...  And what about your pillowcase?  When was the last time you changed / washed that thing?  Lots of times, dirt, oils, and other contaminants from your hair and face which are excreted during your slumber remain in the fabric and could be the cause of your blemishes as well.  \n\nThere 'are' over-the-counter preparations which are designed to combat acne and deal with pimples but I think it's much wiser to first try to do all the things you can to remedy this problem at home before you go spending money on something which may or may not work for you.  You might find that you need to switch to a soap that doesn't leave a residue on your face.  Perhaps you're using too harsh of a cleanser on your face, so your skin is really dried out, and, as a result, has begun to over-produce oil to compensate.  If you work out, and do a lot of sweating, perhaps your own perspiration is responsible for your facial eruptions.  At any rate, it would be in your best interest to exercise a little trial-and-error before you go wasting your money.  \n\nFor the record, I think it's best to let you know that in the process of getting your skin cleared up, your pimples might seem to get worse before they start looking like they're getting better.  I don't know why that's always the way with skin irritations and other dermatological complaints, but it is.  I guess it has something to do with the fact that your skin is a large membrane, and it's got to endure a lot of stuff on a constant basis.  Plus, it's ever-changing...  \n\nBut anyway...  If all else fails, and you can't figure out what's causing these pimples, or you've changed everything you can think of, and they're still present, I would definitely recommend seeing a dermatologist or esthetist for at least a consultation session.  It might be a little easier for them to determine the cause of and remedy / treatment for your blemishes.  They can actually help you correctly identify if you really are dealing with pimples or if perhaps you've developed some type of allergic reaction to something you've ingested or been exposed to.  \n\nAt any rate, I wish you the best of luck in getting rid of your blemishes.  I hope something I've said helps you.


what the previous writer has posted is true only for sodium. equivalence takes into account both the molecular or atomic weight of the species you're interested in and its valence - for example sodium has atomic weight of 23 and a valence of 1 (the ion is +1), hence the 23/1 conversion in the previous answer. This wouldn't be the same for, say, carbonate with mw ~60 and valence of 2 (= equivalence of 30)


Is there any legal basis for a solicitor or barister to withdraw from a case if a plea bargain fails?

A duty to the court means just that.  ie If you tell your lawyer you killed someone but then under oath state that you didn't kill someone your lawyer has a "duty to the court" to inform the judge that you just lied since your lawyer is acting as an officer of the court.  This could be the reason they would withdraw since you've already told them you commited the crime and they would have a duty to the court to tell them you were lying if you said otherwise under oath.


No, it is a myth.  But, it's a cool idea.  I'm sure someone will pick it up, write a book about it and make lots of money making people believe it.

The Death Penalty: How can we justify so perfect a punishment within such an imperfect system?

I agree with having a death penalty, if we could ensure guilt. until then, the only justification is to "save money" that would be spent imprisoning someone for life. I think that argument is a little too NAZI. killing people because they cost society money just isn't a healthy road to travel.

Joe Calzaghe best pound for pound boxer since Sugar Ray Leonard?

The best pound for pound boxer was Sugar Ray Robinson and a younger Muhammad Ali, both of which started before Sugar Ray Leonard, but I had to get my two cents in anyways. Note that Robinson often fought bigger and more muscled fighters because he was so good that he beat everybody in his class.

how do i get a grant to start a small buisness?

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

Why should I as a student lose my chance of attending my dream university in USA?

In my humble opinion, you shouldn't lose your chance to attend a University that accepts you for admission.  However, unfortunately right now, international students are having a very difficult time coming & staying in the United States with all of the immigration/visitation concerns since the 9/11 attacks.

If she is in a SERIOUS relationship, yes, her significant other should be invited, but a "date", no. Weddings are great places to meet new people and singles should be glad for such a target rich environment! \nYou are not at all obliged to let guests bring guests of their own, not even the members of the wedding party.


what does it mean your salary is between 6k-8k for the post of computer operator in a reputed firm?

k is a short form of 'kilo'. \n1 kilbyte is actually equal to 1024 bytes. But it is customary to round it to 1000. People in the computer industry have a tendency to use their technical terms in their day to day communication as well. So, 6k-8k salary means the salary will be in the range of 6000 to 8000.

What are the main argumetns made about abortion?

Pro-abortionists will say that the unborn baby is a product of conception.  This allows them to not have to deal with the baby issue.  They want to say that pro-lifers are anti-choice....that they are against a woman having the right to choose what happens to their body.  I think the pro-murder or anti-life (I will call them that as they like to use the anti-choice moniker) advocates don't understand that pro-lifers are trying to speak up for the choice of one who cannot be heard...the baby!  The argument that I like to use, from a Biblical sense is that God says He knew us before we were born and that He knit us together in our mother's womb.  This indicates that He began life before our actual birth.  The argument that the baby is just a product of conception...it is true.  A baby is a product of conception, the only one...you conceive a baby!  It is not the baby's fault that you made a mistake, that you were irresponsible or that some sick bas...d went and did something to a woman that he should be strung up by his ba..s for!  That baby is innocent!  The woman who aborts a baby is also, often, wracked with guilt in their later years over what they did.  Why inflict an additional pain on some poor girl/woman who has been raped, etc.?  It is illegal to break an eagle's egg because it is living and the bald eagle is endangered, but it is legal to kill a human infant in the same state...what kind of sick logic is that?

You think is ok they make gangsters look as heroes in the movies?

no. but the trend started more or less when gangsters started investing in movies. it is a buisness where black money is easier to spend and profits easily white. everybody likes fame and respect.  each ganster likes to be popular like Robinhood. it is not uncommon that they help the local poors with money or other small favours which are not that big for them but does not harm their buissness. it earns them respect. and they feel good about themselves. so when they invested  money in movies they financed these films more. \n\n  they bring more realism in these films. because they had first hand knowledge. i have read about some hollywood hero who were gang members themseslves. we see them in mumbai films regularly.they get success once these films got success others followed. it is all about money.\n\n also that public watches them to fullfill its own sence of adventure.


I think they should be tried, sentanced and put in jail. You people don't seem to see the big picture here. You think they're helping mexican immigrants. But as we increase the amount of people in this country who A.) don't vote, B.) Don't register C.) Don't pay taxes because they don't want to register for a social security number D.) Don't want to learn english because the bleeding hearts of this country want to help them.....this country will have to lean more and more on those of us who ARE legal. ARE paying taxes ARE keeping the money we earn at our jobs INSIDE this country. Taxes will have to go up to compensate. And who do you think are taxing our medical systems for care because they don't pay medical insurance? And good luck paying for your bleeding heart through your pocket.

did our military find some weapons of mass distruction in iraq?

It certainly does sound like wmd's. Recently, an Iraqi officer who served Saddam has acknowledged that a stock pile of WMD's were sent to Syria prior to the US invasion of Iraq. As I understand it, civilian air liners were gutted and the planes were used as transport vehicles to move all WMD out before the US found them.  Naturally, this didn't get a lot of press because the opponents of the war would lose momentum, plus they would be forced to acknowledge that President Bush was right all along.

Does anyone know where the tradition of closing curtains on the day of a funeral came from and why?

would me recently widowed mom have to pay capital gains taxes on the sale of the home she shared with my dad?

If the sell of the home is in the same year of your dad's passing, then up to $500,000 of the gain from the sell would be excluded from your mom's gross income.  If it is the year after, then the exclusion will be up to $250,000 of the gain.\n\nIf the house was part of community property, then one-half of the home would get a step-up in basis to the Fair Market Value of the home on the date of your dad's passing.  So, you might not have that much gain, leaving you well below the exclusion limit.\n\nHope this helps, and I'm sorry to hear about your loss.


When would you not use  the plan-do-check-act cycle as a problem solving tool or technique?

My husband has MSRA. Back surgrey.Taking for 3 wks vancomycin sed rate 120. How will we know if meds working?

Sed Rate range differ depending on gender and age.  The best thing for you to do is talk to your doctor about your concerns. Wounds with mrsa that have closed are difficult to detect if the mrsa is gone.  I work in a facility and deal with mrsa from time to time. There are different types of mrsa. from the lungs to the urine. I asked one of our doctors about mrsa in the wound and how someone can tell if the mrsa is gone and she told me that there is no 100% way of knowing. Usually when the wound closes and the patient has been treated properly with antibiotic (usually vancomycin) it is considered to be treated. If the wound heals with no signs and symptoms of infection (no swelling or redness) then there is no infection.  She also told me that everyone has a small amount of mrsa in the body. It is the level of mrsa that the person needs treated.  If his red blood cell count is low and iron is down it might be good to have him on an iron deficiency otc med. He might be anemic.  The best advice I can give you is ask your family physician and also your surgical doctor of your concerns. This is also why they get paid.  I hope I helped you in some way.

The shape of the Nepalese flag is two triangular. This shape of the flag makes it unique in the world. The body of the flag is read in colour and the border of the flag in blue in colour. There is a sketch of the moon in the upper triangle and in the lower triangle there is a sun (previously the sun used to have eyes and mouth making it look like the face of a human). \n\nThe red color of the flag denotes the blood of the Nepalese. We Nepalis are also known are Gorkhalis who are popular in war. Our ancestors gave their blood in war to protect our country. Red is also the sign of heat. It also represents the heat and anger in the Nepalese people.\n\nThe blue color of the flag represents seas and rivers of Nepal as Nepal is the second richest country in water resources. The blue colour also represents cold mountains. \n\nThere is a sketch of the sun and moon as they are regarded as gods in Nepal.

if a guy asks you out on a date and you swap phone #'s and he doesnt call you... Do you call him?

It would depend on the meeting. If I thought he REALLY liked me, then  I might wait a week or so and then call him with something very casual, like, "Hey, I'm going to be in your neighborhood for a meeting next week, wanna get a cup of coffee or something?" See how he responds, then go from there. You never know, maybe he lost your number or something and is dying for you to call. Above all, just keep it casual at the beginning and let him take the lead. Good luck

Is there a number to someone above the local human services for child protective service?

Get a good custody attorney.  If you can't afford one than what you need to do is inspect your children for signs of abuse every time they come back from their father and photograph any injuries, or take them to a doctor and have the doctor's office do it.  They should photograph any injuries that may be a result of abuse which you can later use in court. If you suspect sexual abuse than this is especially important. \n\nGoing directly through Human services for this is a bad idea.  Social workers have huge caseloads and they are getting very critical of reports of child abuse because 60% of all cases are unfounded.  In addition there have been cases where over zealous social workers take the kids and sort the mess out later which means that your child could end up in foster care until you go to court.

A Skinwalker shapeshifts into other creatures.  It's part of the AmerIndian culture and Shamans are most likely do it during ritual.  Generally, the Skinwalker goes on an astral journey during which he/she will take on the form of an animal -- most likely their Spirit Animal.  Skinwalkers are not an "entity" but a person who takes on the aspects of animals.  They have very powerful medicine.\n\nFunny (as in funny odd, not funny haha) story:  I spent a lot of time with an elderly Blackfoot who told me I dance with spirits.  I guess I don't get to skinwalk which may be why I have incredibly poor eyesight in spite of my Spirit Animal being the owl.  I have often wondered why my vision is so incredibly lousy with an owl as a Spirit Animal. LOL


While watching a video, video freezes but i still have sound?

Maybe from the video card, but I think it's because of the codecs, get Ace Mega Codec pack and make shure you have DivX installed. Rarely, you may find a movie encoded with a codec that is not that popular, maybe that's your problem.


i want to  know how to manufacture an Aluminum wire coated (plated) with Copper?

In order to do this you will most likley have to also apply a voltage to the wire in order to drive the reaction.  Also, the bridge between the 2 beakers must be conductive, so there has to be some sort of electrolyte soaked into the bridge.  i would suggest using a simple copper sulfide solution in the plating side of the cell, and using an iron electrode in the other beaker.  electroplating is sometimes quite complex so you may want to consult a chemist regarding your final setup.

How big is a fat quarter when your dealing with quilting fabric? I just started sewing and have no idea?

A fat quarter is a quarter of a yard of material.  When making quilts you usually use 4 or 5 different colors or prints of materials.  So you buy a quarter of a yard of one color and a quarter of a yard of another.  They call them fat quarters because they're usually a generous quarter of a yard of material.  Good Luck quilting, it's a great stress releiver.  My suggestion is to start small.  Like making Lap quilts.  They're about 5 foot by 6 foot, and are easier to work with and quicker to finish.


sumthing is seriously wrong here, isnt it


Of course they did since most of the made up the fact that they were prophets to begin with and were faking it!  I don't believe in prophets or god so I don't think any of them were real.  One for sure I know wasn't because he declared himself to be the prophet of one religion when their holy book said there would be no more then when he was rejected by the followers he created his own religion.  Nice fake job that one!  I chalk most of them up to delusional disorders.

how much does a mammogram and breast ultra sound cost with health insurence?

Those are free after age 40 but before hand well that is not a thing you can just go down and get. You have to have a Doctors order to get one. There are some places that are privet that can do it but your insurance wont cover this kind of thing its not expensive at all they just take the study and you have the choice to have it read by a doctor that works for them know that costs allot trust me.  You also can just take it to your own Doctor and he can read it as well. You need to check it out call your local hospital talk to the Radiology Department and they will turn you in the right direction. Oh talk to the File room they deal with everyone from Lawyers to Doctors around the USA. \n\nWarning....You may have to drive a bit to get to a place if you dont live in a major city.

What is the differance between the Roman Catholic religion and Greek Orthodox?

There are many wonderful answers here. The chief difference as noted in several is that the H.H. Bartholomew is the Patriarch of the Ecumenical Orthodox Church in Constantinople (Istanbul). Other Orthodox Bishops are not subject to the Patriarch, but come together in a free association. This association is different than in the Roman Catholic community where each Deacon, Priest, and Bishop takes a vow of obedience to their superior. \n\nThe Orthodox Church and many others do not accept the pope as infallible, wherein Councils are the will of the Church and not the decision of one person. A true Ecumenical Council has not come together in a thousand years and I urge everyone to suggest one within their communities.\n\nOther exceptions as noted is that Orthodox priest may marry in keeping with the earliest Traditions of the Church. The other is the way the Orthodox Church views the Trinity and the addition of the "Filoque" which added to the Nicean Creed after it was decided at Council the Creeds could/should not be altered.\n\nThe faith in God is shared, as are many wonderful servants and faithful. Diversity in the expressions of our faith is a strength.\n\nPeace be with you all.\n\n+Michael

You could speak to your local Child Support Agency about having the jurisdiction changed. You could also obtain from your state Government the rules governing child support in that state. You could also try contacting your local representative in the state Assembly. You might also want to consult with your lawyer about starting procedures. Given that you have lived there for 15 years, you would have a good case for a change.

shold I buy a place in alabama and move there?

I have no clue who wrote the above comment, but the weather here isn't always so great. It depends on what you're used to. \nI'd say if you want to live here, really make sure you know the reputation of where you live. There are really awesome places here. You should come visit (if you haven't already). Places like Vestavia you'd probably especially like to live in. The Galleria's there, and in Cahaba Heights there's the Summit and a bunch of awesome stuff. Consider a move here. I'm sure you won't regret it if you know what you're doing. Good luck!! If you have questions about living here, post more details and I'll probably see it (even if the question ends up resolved) or email me at hoipolloi289@hotmail.com.


Who does one go to in order to be mummified. Any known websites about how much it would cost etc...?

I don't think anyone has actually figured out how the mummification process works.  They know how they did it more or less but not the preservative formula or how to duplicate it.  You can get mummified maybe but you might not last as long as the Pharaohs, or you'd have to settle for modern conventions.  What about trying fossilization?  Just have someone bury you in volcanic ash or something.


How fast is a bullet moving when it leaves the barrel of a revolver?

Depends on the gun and the bullet.  Different kinds of bullets have aerodynamic designs and powder charges that vary their speed when leaving the barrel.  For most handguns (say a Colt .38), that speed is around 300 meters per second.  On other kinds of wapons (say a Desert Eagle Cal. .50) The speed can go to around 400 meters per second with a heavier projectile, and so on.

What percentage of U.S. troops in World War I were African American???

First off, to answer "Reality's" question, the official designation was United States Colored Troops.\n\nOf the over fifty US Army divisions and I believe three Marine divisions deployed to France and Murmansk Russia during the First World War, two divisions were Colored Troops. They had very different outcomes during the war.\n\nThe first of these was a division made up of three regiments of draftees who were thrown into the initial offensive at Cantigne in late 1917. While most of the American forces had a difficult time, the Colored division completely fell apart, while two entire battalions just dropped their weapons and ran away. As a punishment, the division was taken out of the line and made to do manual labor (digging trenches, carrying supplies, etc).\n\nBecause of the problems above the second division, the 92nd Division made up of three regiments of New York and Illinois state National Guard, was not even supposed to be sent to France. The soldiers in the division paid their own way to get to France, but when they arrived the American Army refused to put them into combat, again because of the problems earlier. Marshall Foche agreed to accept this division into the French army, and the soldiers were immediately deployed. Throughout 1918, this division fought so bravely that they became the most highly decorated division in the French Army, to include those which had entered combat in 1914.\n\nWhen the war ended, the American Army finally accepted this division, only to order them returned to the United States early because of what are believed to be trumped up complaints of fraternization. The implied intention was so these soldiers would not be included in the planned victory celebrations scheduled later, much as the Colored Troops were excluded from the victory parade in 1865 ending the Civil War. However, when the division arrived into New York harbor, the city provided their own celebration which reached its crescendo when the soldiers' parade marched through Harlem.\n\nThere was a large memorial to this division in France, but it was demolished by the Nazis when France was occupied.\n\nSo, that is the short answer. 4% of the American soldiers sent to France in World War I were African Americans.

1. An area of the economy in which businesses share the same or a related product or service.\n\n2. A group of securities in the same industry or market.  \n\n   \n 1. Dividing an economy into different like pieces allows for more in-depth analysis of the economy as a whole. Any economy can be divided into sectors, such as the economy of a particular city, or the global economy. The oil and gas sector is an example of an economic sector. \n\n2. It is common for analysts to specialize in certain sectors. For example, at a large research firm, an analyst may cover only pharmaceutical companies. Investment funds often specialize in a particular economic sector, a practice known as sector investing.  \n\nWhen you analyze a specific sector of the market, you are concentrating on a particular market niche.  For example, biotechnology, mecial instruments and devices, financial services, etc. are all sectors of the market.  Instead of concetrating on one particular stock, you are concentrating on a larger piece.


I like being with girls but i still love my baby's father what should i do?

Are you still in a relationship with him? If so, you need to figure out together where things are headed, he may be okay with that. If he's not you have to ask; how much does the relationship matter to you and what is best for your child. Since you still love him, I see no reason to throw thay away because you like girls. You wouldn't cheat on him with a guy you liked, going after a girl is no different really. If not, I don't see a problem. After all, you can see who you want now.


Why we need to  use the servers to compile the webapplications and what is meaning for server and how many are

Because:\nThe applications on a server (a type of webpage/site) carry out some actions before sending a result to you ...\n\nExample : When you post a question to Y! Answers. The server's job is to list it for others to see and act upon.\n\nServer is basically very much like your computer. But servers are solely dedicated to a website i.e. all their resources are used to handle large amounts of visitors and their requests...\n\nYou can use your PC as a small-scale server too ...\n\nJust like building webpages is called "web-designing", coding a servers actions is called "server-scripting"...\n\nMany Languages are used for server-scripting. Ex- PHP, ASP, etc.\n\nHope this helps...
