How do protons all stay together in the nucleus of an atom?

The strong force holds quarks together in combinations that make protons and neutrons.  It also holds the protons and neutrons together, but in a more subtle way, because protons and neutrons are color neutral.  This means that protons and neutrons don't have excess color charge (which determines the strength of the strong interaction), and by this logic shouldnt be attracted to each other.  The quarks are not in a point-like configuration, though, so each nucleon has a "dipole" and higher order moments. If you've never heard of this kind of thing, it's the same idea as the electric force holding electrically neutral atoms together to make chemical compounds.\n\nThe differences in mass between atoms and the sum of their particles is a consequence of the strong force... the strong force is not caused by the mass difference.  In fact, atoms above iron have a mass which is larger than the sum of their nucleons, while atoms below iron have mass that is smaller than the the sum of their nucleons.  That's why you can only break large atoms for energetic nuclear fission.

how to share memory to builtin graphics card in 915 chipset?

In your BIOS.  Usually accessed by pressing "DEL" or "F2" (on Dell's) (or sometimes other keys that are displayed during the Memory test time) right after you power on your computer.  Just start pressing keys if you can't figure it out, you'll usually get something to show or tell you what to do during this brief 5 to 15 second time period of startup just before the OS starts to load from the hard drive.\n\nInside the BIOS you should find a place where you can edit the shared memory.  Not all BIOS's have that ability, but most do.  So don't fret if you dont' find it.  I'd recommend about 16 Meg if it's an average duty computer, 64 Meg if you plan to play games, or get a new video card or new computer if you're serious about games.


Yes. \n\nOK, that seems too short for a Yahoo!.ANSWERS answer. But it must be obvious, giving the hugebuttedness of the nation, that they are. They really should be either illegal to sell (like drugs) or taxed heavily (like cigarettes) since they severely affect the health, productivity and future of the nation.


compare shelters in all parts of the world?

We need different shelters for different environments.  The major geographical regions are desert, mountain, forest and aquatic.  Now, think what shelters are typical of each area, and tell how they each shelter the organism effectively.  (To contrast, tell how each shelter is different from the other, and why it must be so.)  Start with yourself.  Where do you live?  What does your home look like?  Why?

When will the US get the troop levels in Iraq below 100,000. Please give your best guess and why you think so.

I think at the beginning of 2007, our troop levels will be below 100,000.  Reason:  More Iraqi Military units are becoming self-sufficient.  They will be equipped better by then with vehicles and armor.  The Iraqi people will rather be policed by their own than outsiders.  Recruiting will be hurting, because the Army fell short for FY 2005.  They just sent out 80,000 letters to everyone who left the Army within the last 5 years saying we want you back.  The Army tapped into the  FY 2006 delayed entry pool to meet FY 2005 numbers, and they still fell short.  Stress on the force and equipment will take a huge toll.  Stress on the families that have their Service Members away 2 out of the last 3 years.  As our coalition partners pull out, it will put pressure on the US politicians to draw down.  As the presenditial elections heat up in 2008, the Republicans will have to draw down to get reelected.  Hope this helps.

i need encrypt/decrypt from-to string using a key in vb.net?

I assume you talk about symmetric encryption (same key to encrypt and decrypt).\n\nCheck out the 3DES implementation (System.Security.Cryptography.TripleDES). It's really easy:\n1) call TripleDES.Create()\n2) call GenerateKey() and GenerateIV()\n3) configure a CryptoStream with the result of CreateEncryptor()\n4) write to it\n5) save Key and IV somewhere\n\nThen to decrypt:\n1) call TripleDES.Create()\n2) change Key and IV to the values you saved previously\n3) configure a CryptoStream with the result of CreateDecryptor()\n4) read from it


Is there a life insurance for people with cancer.?

Depends on the type of cancer and how far along the treatments are.  The best bet is to contact a local life agent and give them all the information. Don't try to hide anything because it could result in a denial of payout down the road.  A local agent can talk with their underwriter to determine if they can write the policy and at what health class.


Automatic boot to Windows with Ubuntu installed.?

Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (use 'sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst' or 'sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst') and change the default line to read 'default 5' or 'default saved'.  The 'default 5' option will default to boot on the 5th OS line listed in the bottom section.\n\nI usually set 'default saved' so that the last OS booted will be the default one booted.  If I boot into Windows and restart, I will default to Windows but if I boot into Ubuntu, then I will default to boot Ubuntu.  I have 3 seconds at reboot to change OS.\n\nThere is also a linux command 'grub-reboot 5' that will reboot the computer into the desired OS remotely.


can i use capital for the word anda which is insert to a indonesia sentence?

Oh, no. I'm an English-Indonesian translator, and according to the spelling book here (EYD), you should always write 'Anda' capitalized, because it's always used to refer someone in a sentence. Most people ignore this, because it's a hassle to hold Shift while typing, but the rules are rules.


what is the difference between the electoral college and the popular vote?

The Electoral College is a group of electors who vote for the president.  The group members for each state are all the state's US House and Senate members.  There are a total of 538 members in the Electoral College.  All electors from a state must vote for the majority, although it wasn't always this way.\n\nThe popular vote is simply the measure of how people voted in the entire United States.  This does not choose the President, the Electoral College does.\n\nHope this makes sense!  Use the information that you need.

What "never fails": love or charity? Why?

Love = Charity\n\nIf either one fails, it was NOT real love or real charity to begin with. Which is why you can always trust God, people will let you down (or beat you down).


where did god come from, what was before god, who made it?

God has existed forever. He doesn't have a beginning and will never have an ending. I know it's impossible for us as humans to comprehend, but we have to believe it by faith. Our minds just can't comprehend it. \n\nI know that alot of people won't agree with what I just said, but can they come up with a better explanation? I don't think so.

But remember on thing, its always better to subscribe to some service, paying a minimal fee per month. Both legally, as well as it would give the artists their due share for their artistic creation, and encourage them further to make better songs.

There have been very many different atomists, and some were determinists, others not. Democritus, the first real atomist we can verify, was a determinist, so to speak, but really believed that the world was an illusion, which essentially precludes the question of determinism. Epicurus, one of the other first atomists was strongly anti-determinist, and introduced a random element, called the swerve, to attempt to solve the problem of determinism. Most people today who have a basic knowledge of the nature of the atom are obviously atomists, and I believe most people are not determinists.

Baby wipes can be pretty cold out of the package. You wouldn't want to shock a sleepy or tranquil baby awake by putting a cold wipe on their bum. On the other hand, it's strictly for the baby's comfort, and not a crucial need. It's a good item to have on a gift registry, but don't feel compelled to purchase one for yourself.

Patrick, it is extremely difficult to learn to read and write in chinese. the chinese language is not based on letters combining to form representations of phonetic sounds, like english and most other modern laguages. the chinese 'alphabet' is actually comprised of over 3,000 unique pictographs. also, they read and write their texts from right to left, a convention that is strange to those that speak english, and most of the european and slavic languages. does that help? :-)

How to prevent infant from influenza virus ?

The best way to help prevent influenza infection is to get an influenza vaccination each year, usually in early November. Unfortunately, immunization (administration of vaccine) against influenza is approved only for infants 6 months of age and over.\n\nUntil your infant is old enough to take vaccinations, you should look into home remedies and try to look for baby food with some of these ingrediants.  I looked up some for you:\n\n~ GINGER = best\n~ GRAPEFRUIT\n~ BASIL LEAVES\n~ GARLIC = dont know if thats good for infant but works.\n~ for more, visit link below\n\nhope i was helpful :)


It depends on the bacterium. For E. coli (common lab bacteria) 20-30 minutes is an average doubling time, but different strains vary.\n\nI heard something somewhere about a weird form of bacteria that lives miles underground in granite formations and only divides once every ten thousand years, or something crazy like that. I can't give you a source, it's just a freaky thing off the top of my head that I haven't gone to the trouble to confirm. My contention is that if reincarnation is true, that would be the *worst* thing to come back as. So mind your karma.\n\nPart of the reason it would be the worst is that bacteria reproduce by one cell dividing into two, so as long as there are any of that strain still alive, it hasn't really died.\n\nThey can die though. In a liquid culture you can tell because of a lot of turbidity (cloudiness) some of which is from cells and some from debris from dead cells. Or, you could have agar plates that get really nasty and dried up, and most of those bacteria are probably dead. Or you could tell because they look really crappy under a microscope. If you try to streak it and grow it on a plate and it doesn't grow, it's probably dead.

A doosra is a particular type of delivery by an off spin bowler in the sport of cricket. The term comes from Hindi-Urdu and in this context it means "the other one". (It literally means "second" or "the second one".)\n\nThe doosra is a relatively new type of ball, developed in the late 1990s by Pakistani spinner Saqlain Mushtaq. The bowler bowls the ball with the same finger action as a normal off break, but holds the wrist turned so the back of the hand faces towards the batsman. This gives the ball spin in the opposite direction to an off break, causing it to spin from the leg side to the off side to a right-handed batsman.\n\nThe doosra is the off spinner's equivalent of the leg spinner's googly, which also spins in the opposite direction to the bowler's stock delivery.\n\nThe doosra has been used effectively by its inventor Saqlain Mushtaq and Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan. Other spin bowlers have been described as using it to varying degrees, including young Pakistani Shoaib Malik. Among non-subcontinental commentators, the word "doosra" is rapidly gaining currency as either a catch-all term for a delivery by any spin bowler which behaves in an unexpected fashion or as a synonym for "mystery ball".

His SAT score was 1206 (566 verbal, 640 math).\n\nHis cumulative undergraduate GPA at Yale was 2.35.\n\nGraduated from Yale University with a degree in history, and then earned an MBA from Harvard University.\n\nTraditionally, one has to have a 3.0 GPA to get a Master's degree.

Why don't Jehovah's Witnesses celebrate birthdays, etc?

Jehovah's Witnesses base their beliefs solely on the scriptures. For the most accurate explanation, you wouldn't check Wikipedia, you would check their official website at www.watchtower.org. \n\nAs far as birthdays are concerned, the Jehovah's Witnesses believe that everything in the Bible is there for a reason. Now, the only 2 mentions of a birthday celebration in the Scriptures are not put in a very positive light at all. Both were celebrated by those who did not worship the true God, Jehovah. And both involved a murder. In the case of the second mention, it was the murder of one of God's prophets, John the Baptizer. Another reason that they do not is because the ONLY celebration that Christians are Biblically commanded to observe is the DEATH of Jesus Christ, not his birth. If Christians aren't to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the very Son of God, why would they want to go ahead and celebrate their own or anyone else's?\n\nMost holidays can be traced back to origins in false religious, pagan worship, which tended to include many sinful practices. God is well-aware of the origins of every celebration that is being practiced today. Just because some try and change a holiday to be "Christianized" doesn't change the fact that it's origins are not scriptural and that they are in fact not originated with God. There are Biblical examples, in the book of Exodus for one, in which the nation of Israel tried to take a false religious Egyptian celebration and turn it into "a festival to Jehovah". Jehovah's response? Many were killed. \n\nThat's the short of it. If you would really like the answers to why Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate such things, then go to the link below which can expound on what I just stated.


Generally, non-euclidean geometries are geometries that use a different fourth postulate, that, in Euclidean geometry, says that corresponding angles of a transversed parrallel lines are equal.  This basically means that parrallel lines never meet.  There are two other possible postulates.  One is that parrallel lines do meet, i.e. that space is like a globe where longitudinal lines meet at the poles.  The other is that other lines, besides parallel lines don't meet. In this situation space is shaped like a saddle, and lines get farther and farther apart.  Those are the two I know.  There are three other Euclidean postulates (e.g. you can draw exactly one circle through a point in the center and one on the rim) that someone might be able to change, but I am not aware that anyone has done that.


A man walks up to you and says - "everything I say to you is a lie."Is he telling you the truth or is he lying

he's lying.\n1) assuming the man is telling the truth, then the sentence "everything i say to u is a lie" is to be believed. so he IS lying.\n2) assuming the man is lying, then the sentence "everything i say to u is a lie" is a lie itself. So he IS still lying.

How can the United States withdraw from Iraq in a way that is good for Iraq, its neighbors and the U.S.?

In one word - carefully.  We must continue training their forces, and keeping a presence through their voting process and while their new government is setting up.  Offering aid to rebuild schools, hospitals and roads will put children in schools, adults to work and a place where the sick can be attended to.  This is a fledgling democracy in which the majority wants to see succeed.  The enemy is largely hidden and not always obvious, but in essence, the enemy is theocratic fascism.

what is the circumstances, implications, prospects and problems of having a friend?

People tend to hide the parts of themselves that they do not like or do not wish to deal with.  Friends allow us to be open and get feedback on our version of reality.  Most peoblems with others usually start by miscommunication.  Friends also allow us to practice communicating, verbally and otherwise.


Dating "best friends" is risky at best, and more often than not it doesn't work out. Girls (you don't say how old you are, by the way) tend to see close male buddies more like brothers at times, so making the transition from friend to sweetheart is often a stretch for them.\n\nThe one thing I can suggest is to be open and honest.  Try telling her at some point, but don't wait until she's dating someone else.

how to run to first on a hit to the outfield?

The question's a little vague, and there aren't many official resources for information like this, but I'll do my best.  Once you hit the ball, you begin to run as quickly as possible to first base.  It's ill-advised to slide, since you're permitted to overrun the bag, and running past the bag is faster than sliding into it.  If it appears that the ball has gotten past an outfielder (e.g., into a gap, into a corner), you'll want to at least round the bag at first and consider going to second, depending on how you judge the ball and what the first base coach instructs.

Would you delete my yahoo account, please, asap?

Long story short : https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user\n\nTwo ways to delete your Yahoo Account\n\n(1) Get it deleted by inactivity\n(2) Terminate your account manually\n\nFor the first method, just don't login to your account for 4 months, and your account gets deleted. But the waiting period is quiet long. It is a good policy by Yahoo, as it helps maintain an accurate number of users. I remember, when Hotmail used to brag about in its initial days about its huge userbase, most of its accounts were never used by users(who had registered themselves to get a taste of what email is called). Yahoo always gave an accurate picture. Also, for common usernames like amitgupta, emmacooper, etc which are never available (due to large no of people having these names), a chance is available to the new users to get such usernames from users who are inactive( which generally have to be registered as emmacooper1232005 due to unavailability)\n\nFor the second method, I gave you the link above. The advantage is that your account is terminated instantaneously. You can read the explaination at http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/edit/edit-23.html


What percentage of rebates offered are actually paid?

Less than 10%.  Folks do not follow through and mail in the paperwork and proof of purchases on time.  Or, they don't follow the detailed instructions that come with each rebate.\n\nIt is very inexpensive to generate sales with mail-in rebate offers, when there is no follow through by the consumer.

how can i change a guy who is not interested in studies and who is always being so lazy and idling?

If someone is always idling and being lazy the\nproblems could be related to his friend circle and\nfamily. He should be helped to get involved in\nsolving puzzles, reading, physical activities like\nsports ( preferably team sports ). Reading about the\nhistory of subjects one wants to study also helps.\nInteresting toys, repairing gadgets, doing/building\nmodels also help in generating a keen interest.\nIn general the problem is of arousing interest and\npassion for something. Which can be solved by \necouraging him to live a active life rather than a \npassive one. ( e.g. Learning to play a musical\ninstrument rather than listening to music.\nParticipating in a drama / performance rather\nbeing just a part of the crowd. Learning to\nwrite programs than just playing the games on\ncomputer. Learning to perform magic, learing\nto draw cartoons instead of watching cartoons.\n\nHelp him in developing an interest in some hobby.\nAgain I would repeat, prefer a hobby involving\ndoing things rather than merely collecting things.\n\nEncourage him to get involved in team activities.\n\nOf course, this is a tough task requiring a lot of\nunderstanding and patience.\n\nWish you good luck!

For the benefit of these files being BACKED UP, using an archiving program like compressed files (on Windows 2000 and XP) programs like winzip or any other from a vast number of archiving utilities that can be found online, downloaded and installed, and some of them may even have step-by-step wizards to help and guide you to complete this task.\nUsing one of these will make your data take up less space.\n\nSince MS Windows is a graphical user interface, and as such, anything on the computer can be represented by an icon, and clicking on the icon will either open a file into a program, run a program, or open up a folder. All you have to do is open up the windows explorer, and from there select one of the disks/drives listed in that window, click on one of them and it will allow you to view data/diles there (depending on your set up, it may change in the open window where you are, or open up in another window) having two windows open will be easier.\n\nThis will subsequently list the folders (directories) that are stored on this drive. if you want to make a new one called backup - it may be an idea to give it a different name that you know what it is but no one else will, so not take any notice of it. Open this folder up so it is an open window. Switch back to the original window (say, the folder that represents "My Documents" and so long as both windows are open and visible on the screen, you can use what is called "drag & drop" to move/copy files from one location to another. To select more than one file at a time using the mouse, if all the files are in sequential order then using the mouse select an area round those files and they will be selected.The alternative method if you are being selective about what files you want to move, hold down the -Ctrl- key as you click on each file, and it also becomes selected, and will be highlighted along with other files .\n\nThis is genuinely easier to to than my description might suggest, but be VERY CAREFUL that you don't hit the delete key when more than one file is selected unless you genuinely want to get rid of that file, an easy mistake to make, and easy to recover from by going to your Recycle Bin (get to this from your desktop) and selecting restore files. Equally, be aware of not creating a file called "Copy of document.doc/picture.jpg" etc, because that is one sure as hell way to confuse people when they are doing file back up tasks, and this also doubles up the amuont of space the files take on your hard disk because there would be two of them.\n\n*SIDE NOTE* \nIf you have  only one drive it will be assigned drive letter (C) personally I would always recommend creating a second volume on your hard disk, and this would be one of the reasons for doing so. Incidentally, any CDrom or DVD and CDRewriter will normally be listed as (D) and (E) drives - this is a completely different way of backing up data, and not in the remit of your question. \n*NOTE ENDS*\n\nThis can also be applied to a folder on a network if you are connected to a network. Repeat all instruction as detailed above, with the exception that if you want to access it 9your backed up data) you will have to re-connect to the network, normally automatic when you log in to your computer - speak to your network administrator about this, if this is applicable.\n\nThank you for reading, and I hope this explains and assures you that it is a really easy task, and even a novice computer user can do this.

Whats the natural remedies to reduce cholesterol?

As mentioned above:  exercise (preferably aerobic enough to get you sweating) and soluble fiber* - oatmeal is one source (probably the best source), but isn't the only source.  \n\nAnother method of reducing cholesterol is to take niacin.  Note that niacin had a side effect called "niacin flush" which is rather unpleasant.  To prevent this, take a timed release version of niacin.\n\n*The more I learn, the more I find out that most health problems are due to either a lack of exercise or inadequate fiber.

What is the hardest workout program you can suggest (without going to the gym more than once a week) ?

You should seriously consider Pilates. Pilates is a totaly body fitness system developed by Joseph Pilates decades ago. The system focuses on complete strength using your own body as resistence as well as flexibility and health.\n\nPilates has enjoyed a resurging popularity recently as dancers and other performers have found it to be effective and fast. Once it took hold it found it's way into classes in gyms all over the world.\n\nThere are devices used in some pilates classes but none of these are necessary. If you pick up some literature on the exercises taught by the creator and do them faithfully every day you will not even recognize your body in 3 months.

How can I enable digital certificate autoenrollment in Windows Server 2003?

Autoenrollment is available to Windows 2003 and Windows XP domain members for version 2 certificate templates (which can be issued only by enterprise certificate authorities--CAs--running Windows 2003 Enterprise or Datacenter Edition). The autoenrollment process grants certificates based on certificate templates that are supplied with Read, Enroll, and Autoenroll permissions for the users, groups, or computers who require autoenrollment. A modification is made to Group Policy to initiate the process during a Group Policy refresh or interactive logon event. Make sure that the certificate templates to be configured for autoenrollment don't require user input because if they do, the autoenroll process will fail. In this example, we'll enable autoenrollment for certificates to be used for digital signatures and message encryption via Microsoft Office Outlook 2003: ......


"[The color of californium is] unknown, but [it is] probably metallic and silvery white or grey."\n\nAnd just in case you were wondering...\n\n"Californium is a radioactive rare earth metal named after the state of California and the University of California (USA). Californium-252 is a strong neutron emitter and one microgram emits 170 million neutrons per minute, making it a biological hazard. It has a few specialised uses but only a few of its compounds are known."


do you think that there is still hope for mankind cutting each others throat??

there is always hope. To make sure there is a chance for humankind to "pull through," do what you know to be right, and do it well, without hesitation. And do it mindfully. This is the best thing that can be done to spread authentic joy and compassion for al;l beings everywhere.


When dropped from a height, does the velocity of an object depend on its weight, mass, both, or neither?

To answer the question asked:  It depends on neither.\n\nWeight is a factor of the amount of mass in a gravity field.  \n\nOn earth, the gravity field is uniform enough for weight to be a good measure of mass.  But take your 5 pound rock to the moon and it would weigh much less even though it still has the same mass.  It weighs less because the pull of gravity on the moon is less.  As the pull is what gives the rock its acceleration when dropped, it is only the pull that determines how fast something drops. \n\nThe last mission to the moon did the classical experiment of dropping a hammer and a feather at the same time.  Since there is no air on the moon they both dropped at the same rate.  But it was a rate that was much slower had the hammer been dropped on earth.\n\nSo it isn't the mass, nor an objects weight, but how strong the gravity field the object is in when it is dropped.\n\nThat means on earth all things fall at the same rate.  We see a difference when we drop a feather and a hammer on earth because of the friction of the air places greater drag on the feather than on the hammer.\n\nBut they are both pulled down at the same rate by the gravity of the earth.


who won the Chilean presidential election?


Atoms have a nucleus ( composed of protons and neutrons) and a cloud of electrons. The number of the different components varies between different elements.\n\nElectrons can only have specific energy levels in an atom - that is the energy is not continious but quantized. This is different from, say, the solar system, because a planet could theoretically be in any orbit. But we know from quantum mechanics (and many, many experiments) that electons can only occupy certain "orbits."\n\nSometimes an electron can be bumped into a higher orbit (the higher orbits have less energy, because they are not as tightly bound) or kicked out of the atom altogether. If a second electron moves into the spot it will release energy as it falls into that level.\n\nHydrogen is the easiest element to study. The nucleus is a single proton, and it can have only one electron. The different energy levels can be illustrated like this:\nhttp://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hyde.html#c2\n(though in reality electrons don't travel on nice orbits)\n\nIf an electron in the second lowest level does a "quantum leap" to the very lowest, it will emit energy - light - at a very specific frequency. In this case 656 nanometers, which is red. If, on the other hand, an electron falls from the 3rd level down to the 1st level the emitted light is blue.\n\nA "spectrum" will show all of these distinct levels, with the brighter ones being the most common. This shows the spectrum of hydrogen with a diagram of the quantum leaps:\nhttp://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hyde.html#c4\n\nIn other atoms it becomes more complex, not every jump is allowed, and in the precense of a magnetic field a "fine structure" is seen in the spectrum, as some of the main lines look double.\n\nThe result of all of this is that each different atom will give a different characteristic spectrum. So, you can use this to identify different elements in anything from crime scene samples to distant galaxies.


When do you call it quits if your married?

Marriage should be a lifetime committment, however, if one of you is unhappy and the other won't listen or try to help make changes so you both can be happy, it's time to call it a day. An unhappy marriage can't survive if both aren't willing to give 210% to love, honor and cherish each other. You have my deepest empathy and best wishes.

how do i modify the settings on my router to access wireless connectivity. i cant get into the settings?

On most modern consumer routers, administration is done through a web browser. Try accessing http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 and see if you are prompted for a username and/or password. If you have never changed these values, you can look in the documentation for your router to see what the defaults are.


If it is against New York law, should the NYC transit workers have gone on strike?

The strike is illegal under New York's Taylor Law. "Under the law, public employees are prohibited from striking and penalties for violation are levied against the union and employees involved." I've included a link to the judge's injunction that explains why the strike is illegal, along with a brief explanation of the Taylor Law and a link to the text of the law.\n\nSometimes civil disobedience may be justified, such as calling for an end to racial segregation.  Here, the terms do not suggest such justification.  Among the terms requested: requiring 0% of their pay to go to health care coverage, rather than 1%; a lowered retirement age to 50, currently 55; a cap on discipline for violations of rules, such as operating transit while intoxicated; and salary increases above the current $63,000 annual salary, in comparison to the average New Yorker's $45,000 annual salary.  Those traits don't seem like ones important enough for society to support a violation of the law.

how do get a ringing sensation in your head to go away?

Very seriously, you need to visit a doctor. There are many things that can cause this & none of them good. When it comes down to it, the doctor is going to have to determine what the problem is &, only then, will he or she be able to do something to help you.\n\nI don't want to scare you but the ringing sensations can actually signal something very serious so you shouldn't take it lightly...\n\nGood luck!


What an excellent and well timed question, thank you.\n\nMost people believe that the start of the war was a response to North Vietnamese patrol boats firing on the US destroyer USS Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964.  This "attack" was the all the reason needed for the US to "respond" with bombing raids on North Vietnam.\n\nBut, and this is important, there was a report that came out a few days ago that basically states the North Vietnamese did NOT shoot at our destroyer and further the N. Vietnamese had no idea where our destroyer was!


did al gore invent the phrase "the super information highway" ?

I agree with the above poster. Here is some additional information:\n\nThe information highway is a term used especially in the 1990s to describe the Internet. The official project was dubbed the National Information Infrastructure (NII) and went beyond the interconnectivity of just computers; the scope broadened to include all types of data transmissions between a plethora of places, people, and devices. It is often associated with the US politician and former vice president, Al Gore, who promoted funding for programmes that led to aspects of the development of the Internet, although its currency was wider than merely Gore — many policy organisations made pronouncements about the so-called information highway or the variant information superhighway. Both terms are used less frequently now that for many people the Internet has become a less abstract and more concrete thing; the highway analogy, though useful and apt, has perhaps served its purpose.\n\nIt is used in early editions of Wired Magazine as well as Popular Mechanics.\n\nInternet denizens sometimes use these terms in reference to the terms' overuse by traditional popular media (and consequently by non-Internet-users) while the Internet was still becoming mainstream. Compare with the term Interweb. Many geeks often use it in a mocking tone, poking fun at the press for always being hopelessly behind in their description of technical matters.

Whom and when did Steffi Graff defeat 6-0 6-0 in Roland Garros?

Natasha Zvereva of Russia in 1988. This was the year Graf won her GOlden Grand Slam, all 4 majors plus the Olympic Gold.\n\nNatasha is famous for saying early in her career to the Russian government "i want my prize money". RG was withholding a lot of it. NZ went on to become a top doubles player.\n\nAfter the match in Paris in 1988 Steffi Graf apoligised due to the match was so short. About 33 minutes.\n\nSomebody said the best thing about the match was the rain delay in the middle of it.\n\nSteffi Graf is the last person, male or female to win the GRand Slam, Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US open in the same calendar year.\n\nSerena Williams did it in a non-calendar year.\n\nhope this helps...\n\nAlso it;s GRAF, not GRAFF. one "f".\nit;s not spelled like Graff Diamonds in New York, the store...


generally anode is marked '+' but in dry cell,cathode is marked '+'.Why?

At anode the reaction taking place is oxidation\nthat is loss of electrons and therefore it gains + charge,wheras at the cathode reduction takes place and hence it gains -ve charge.But in a dry cell,the polarity indicates the terminals to which the cell needs to be  connected.That is cathode to the +ve\nand the anode to the -ve terminal.

what is integration and its applications?

It's the limit of a type of convergent infinite sum (that's why it's symbol is an elongated 's').\n\nIt's applications range from finding the solutions to differential equations, being used to calculate an area, volume (in the sense we know it, and in a generalised space of n-dimensions).  In Fourier Analysis it's used to approximate functions using cos and sin, etc.  But, by far, the best use of it has to be answering exam questions.\n\nNot helpful, but fairly interesting.  So I thought.  I'll go now.


What's the best way to educate kids on money and finances?

Here's something we're trying with our 15 year old to help him understand credit cards and money management.  \n\nHe has a Visa Buxx card, which is a prepaid, reloadable card that works like a credit card, but has a balance only you (the parent) can control.  The teen has access to account information on their balance and transactions.  They use it just like a credit card anywhere Visa is accepted.  They MUST be aware of what's available in their account or their purchase will be declined.  \n\nYou fund the card from a checking account or checking card.  The issuing bank charges you a setup fee and a small fee ($2)each time you add to the card.  We have a checking account with the bank that issues it and they actually waive that fee.  You can put as little or as much (up to $2000) as you want.  Minimum age to use a card is 13.  And there's no minimum balance or minimum time limit on it.\n\nFor us, it's a real simple way to give him an allowance AND responsibility for it.  For him, it's a way to spend AND budget his money, easily helping him save it for what he wants without tapping his real savings account.\n\nIf your kids are too young, or you think it's too soon, I'm sure the program will be around for a while.  But if you think it's something worth trying, here's a link from Visa to explain the program.


what are the content in the carbide inserts?

Tungsten carbide, WC or W2C, is a chemical compound containing tungsten and carbon, similar to titanium carbide. Its extreme hardness makes it useful in the manufacture of cutting tools, abrasives and bearings, as a cheaper alternative to diamond. Tungsten carbide is also used in wedding rings.\n\nIn a tragic 1945 accident, Harry K. Daghlian, Jr. dropped a brick of tungsten carbide (which is a neutron reflector) onto a plutonium core, causing it to reach critical mass. He died a month later, of radiation exposure.\n\n\nUses in machine tools\nCarbide cutting surfaces are often useful when machining tough materials, such as carbon steel or stainless steel, as well as in situations where other tools would wear away, such as high-quantity production runs. Sometimes, carbide will leave a better finish on the part, and allow faster machining. Carbide tools can also withstand higher temperatures than standard high speed steel tools.\n\nMachining with carbide can be difficult, as carbide is more brittle than other tool materials, making it susceptible to chipping and breaking. To offset this, many manufacturers sell carbide inserts and matching insert holders. With this setup, the small carbide insert is held in place by a larger tool made of a more rigid material (usually steel). This gives the benefit of using carbide without the high cost of making the entire tool out of carbide. Also, the inserts can be changed without losing much accuracy, allowing the machinist to simply swap out a broken insert without re-zeroing the machine. Most modern face mills use carbide inserts, as well as some lathe tools and endmills.


"Normal" bonding occurs when a ligand donates electrons to a metal. When a metal ion donates electrons back to the ligand, this is called back-bonding. The combination of normal bonding and back-bonding creates a strong bond between the ligand and the metal. The reason that phosphines, carbon monoxide, and cyanide are so poisonous is because they bond readily to iron in biological systems and cannot be displaced by the ligands (such as oxygen) which should bond to iron in normal metabolic processes.


what is the etymology of the word "poll"?

from the Greek 'polis,' which was the place where the political occured, around the polis: a point, or a marker, in the middle of the city.  of course, in ancient Greece, the only people who were political were Greek men with money and land.  Women and the poor and the crazy and Non-Greeks were 'apolis,' outside of the political, and had no voice.  You can see holdovers from this today.


What is the best website for U.S. Govt. grants and loans for disabled individuals?

The Government has created a portal to help individuals who need benefits because of life events. Visit http://www.govbenefits.gov\n\nUse the drop down button\nDO YOU NEED BENEFITS BECAUSE OF A LIFE EVENT?\nChoose Becoming Sick or Disabled and then see if you qualify for the available government assistance.\n\nForget grant money - there's hardly any money for individuals. Go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and Grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. But you'd be hard pressed to find any grant that would support individuals.

But always remember the most important step, listen to him and not other people's opinions...


J2EE app randomly throws a "page connot be displayed error". There are no errors in logs. what could be wrong?

A J2EE Application will be running on a webserver or a ApplicationServer. For example: If you are running your J2EE Application on tomcat. Browse to tomcat_root/logs/ and you will find files with names like localhost_log.2005-10-09. In this file you will get a stacktrace of problem with your J2EE Application.\n\nIf you are using any other application server like jboss, weblogic or websphere login to the respective site to find where you will find log files for that server.\n\nAn alternate solution is get log4j. This is an open source loggin tool developed by apache group. You can get the jar file into your webapp and start logging activity in your application. This will give you the power to log all the important activity in your application.\n\nThe most possible answer for your question is: Your webapp is not loaded by the webserver of application server. You need to configure the app.


Whats the difference between an MD and a DO?

I'm a DO student. \n\nI was admitted to both MD and DO schools, and ultimately chose the DO school because of the philosophical approach of osteopathic medicine and its location. So, "not hacking the grade" isn't really accurate.\n\nSome DO schools are easier to get into than MD, some are not. Both students must take certain prerequisite courses in college as well as the MCAT.\n\nDOs and MDs are both considered legally equivelant in the eyes of the law. Both bill insurance comps the same amount for the same procedures. Salary is the same. Both types are found in every field and specialty of medicine, from radiology to neurosurgery.\n\nMDs receive the Medicinae Doctor (Doctor of Medicine) degree and DOs receive the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree.\n\nTry the American Osteopathic Association for more information about DOs.

i'm looking for information on the Bajah or Baja religion. where would i find it?

Do you mean Bahai??\nIt originated in Iran as an offshoot fromthe Ithna Ashari Shia Community and has evolved to a new religion.\n\nThe Bahá'í Faith is an emerging global religion founded by Bahá'u'lláh, a nineteenth-century Persian exile. "Bahá'í" is either an adjective referring to this religion, or the term for a follower of Bahá'u'lláh.\n\nBahá'í theology speaks of three interlocking unities: the oneness of God (monotheism); the oneness of his prophets or messengers; and the oneness of humanity (equality, world unity, globalism). These three principles have a profound impact on the theological and social teachings of this religion.\n\nReligion is seen as a progressively unfolding process of education, by God, through his messengers, to a constantly evolving human family. Bahá'u'lláh is seen as the most recent, pivotal, but not final of God's messengers. He announced that his major purpose is to lay the spiritual foundations for a new global civilization of peace and harmony, which Bahá'ís expect to gradually arise.\n\n1 Relation to other religions \n1.1 Distinction \n1.2 Persecution \n1.3 The Covenant \n2 Demographics \n3 Teachings \n3.1 Summary \n3.2 Social principles \n3.3 Mystical teachings \n3.4 Study and worship \n4 History \n4.1 The Báb \n4.2 Bahá'u'lláh \n4.3 `Abdu'l-Bahá \n4.4 Bahá'í administration \n5 Current plans and focus \n6 Laws \n7 Places of worship \n8 Calendar \n9 Symbols \n10 Involvement in society \n11 See also \n12 References \n13 External links \n13.1 Official websites of the Bahá'í International Community \n13.2 Other Bahá'í websites \n \nRelation to other religions\nBahá'ís believe in a process of progressive revelation recognising the major religions' founders including Adam, Noah, Zoroaster (Zarathustra), Krishna, Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad. Like Muslims, Bahá'ís interpret religious history in terms of a series of prophetic dispensations. Each prophet, or Manifestation, brings a somewhat broader and more advanced revelation for the time and place it appeared in. Unlike contemporary Muslims, Bahá'ís do not believe that this process of progressive revelation has an end.\n\n\nDistinction\nThe Bahá'í Faith is not a combination of religions, but is a distinct religious tradition, with its own scriptures, teachings, laws, and history. Even though Bahá'ís have their own distinct teachings, they believe in the divinity of several past messengers of God.\n\nBahá'ís describe their faith as an independent world religion, differing from the other great religious traditions only in its newness. Bahá'u'lláh is thought to fulfill the messianic promises, and other spiritual aspirations, of all these various predecessor faiths.\n\n\nPersecution\nBahá'ís continue to be persecuted in Islamist ruled countries, especially Iran, where over 200 believers were executed between 1978 and 1998. Since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Iranian Bahá'ís have regularly had their homes ransacked, been banned from attending university or holding government jobs, and several hundred have received prison sentences for their religious beliefs, most recently for participating in study circles. Bahá'í cemeteries have been desecrated and property seized and occasionally demolished, including the House of Mírzá Burzurg, Bahá'u'lláh's father. The House of the Báb in Shiraz has been destroyed twice, and is one of three sites to which Bahá'ís perform pilgrimage. [1] [2] [3] [4]\n\n\nThe Covenant\nOne of the main teachings in the faith is of unity, and Bahá'ís believe that Bahá'u'lláh has guaranteed the unity of their faith by ordaining certain authorities and institutions, which are described at length below. This divine guarantee of the integrity of Bahá'í institutions is known as "The Covenant of Bahá'u&

is Jupiter a real planet or it's own star system?

Jupiter is definitely a planet, a gas giant type. Sometimes the Jovian system - the huge planet with its moons, taking their number and size of the largest ones, is referred to "LIKE a mini solar system". Jupiter is not a star though, and it is not a brown dwarf. Though Jupiter has a major gas atmosphere it still has a metallic core. A browm dwarf, an intermidiary between a star and planet, is totally made of gas, so there is a full convection between its outer and inner layers, unlike Jupiter.


how do i tell a boy that am i like him if am scarde to even look at him without losing my breath?

Maybe you should give tiny hints and get to know him a little better and get comfortable around him so that you don't lose your breath. I've been in that situation many times.

When and where was the 'warning track' introduced to professional baseball?

The dirt and finely-ground gravel, as opposed to grass, area bordering the fence, especially in the outfield. It is intended to help prevent fielders from inadvertently running into the fence. 1950s and 60s broadcaster Bob Wolff used to call it the "cinder path". The first "warning tracks" actually started out as running tracks in Yankee Stadium and Cleveland Stadium. True warning tracks did not become standard until the 1950s, around the time batting helmets came into standard use also.


How many deserts are there in California, USA ?  What are their names ?

Two.  Parts of the Mojave Desert and the Sonoran Desert are in California.


On New Year's, people look forward and back, as did the two-headed Roman god Janus who lent his name to the first month of the year. It's a time for resolutions, a custom that goes back several millennia to the Babylonians, whose most popular one reportedly was to return borrowed farm implements. Nowadays, we're more likely to resolve to become better, skinnier, more fit, more patient, and smoke-free.\n\nParties, champagne and fireworks are common around the globe, but there are some more idiosyncratic customs as well. In Spain, 12 grapes are eaten during the last 12 seconds of the outgoing year (Peruvians eat 13). People who belong to polar bear clubs may indulge in a refreshing icy dip; the Coney Island Polar Bear Club of NYC has been doing this on New Year's Day since 1904. One Hogmanay custom popular in northeast Scotland is fireball swinging, which involves marching through the streets while twirling three-foot flaming balls on six-foot chains.\n\nOther places tend to drop things during the final countdown to midnight. The most famous, in Times Square, is a 1,070-pound, 6-foot Waterford crystal ball, but other choices in various US cities include a pine cone, a pickle, a pretzel, and a live opossum in a cage.


Why is light both a particle and a wave?

Adding to the previous answers: It's not so much that light IS a particle and a wave, it's that it behaves like a particle or a wave depending on the situation. And 'particle' isn't a very good term since it implies mass when it, in fact, doesn't have mass (it does have momentum however).\n\nParticle examples (called 'photons'):\n- Light is absorbed by atoms and molecules in little bundles/packets. Only bundles of an exact amount of energy can be absorbed and/or released.\n- The photo electric effect: When light strikes the surface of metal it can knock electrons off (due to it's momentum).\n\nWave examples:\n- Light interferes with other light in much the same way water waves do (constructive and destructive interference).

How do u organize ur computer? with many files (Movies, Audio, Books, Games, Apps)?!! I failed?

As far as Audio files are concerned, I let iTunes worry about organizing it and if I need to find music I just go through iTunes, iTunes is very good at keeping your music organized.\n\nWhen it comes to documents such as Word and Excel, I have folders for Word documents and Excel documents withint the My Documents folder that way I can see only that file type.\n\nI put movies into the Movies folder within My Documents and then organize them according to genre.  However if you don't want to worry about ever organizing your files again try a desktop search tool such as Google Desktop Search or Copernic desktop search.


what determines your characteristics such as hair,eyes,skin,etc.?

Such characteristics are shaped by the chromosomes you receive from your parents. There's a gene for every color of eye, color of hair, thickness of hair, color of skin, thickness of skin, shape of eyes, weight, height, life span, character, etc.\n\nEvery person receives information for every part from 2 people, so it will have 2 probably eye color, hair color, etc. Even when only one will appear, that person still can give the other gene to a child.

I'm pretty sure we'd all be dead and not really care that we all fell down, if that were truly the case! lol


Microsoft Windows Vista (codename "Longhorn") is the next upcoming version of Windows which will replace its predicessor, Windows XP.  Windows XP and 2003 will still be supported, however, for a long time.\n\nAs of now, Windows Vista is in its Beta-2 phase, meaning its ideas are near finalization.  Vista will bring in many new 'visual' features that makes using a computer easier.  It will features and new searching technologies like in Mac OS X Tiger.  Many people have stated it looks like that operating system because it features a lot of similarities.\n\nRelease Date was originally 2004, then pushed to 2005.  Now it's to be released Spring 2006, Summer at the latest.\n\nI'd recommend just switching to a Mac, though.  You can buy Virtual PC (from Microsoft, the same people that make Windows) and install it on a Mac to run Windows XP and Windows applications on it.  You can't do that 'legally' with a Windows computer.  There are also about 5 known Viruses on Mac OS, while there are millions in the Windows OS.\n\nFor more information, please visit Microsoft's website and click on Windows Vista in the sidebar.\n\n[troy]

What progress has been made in reaching international agreements on disarmament since World War II?

None - There were a bunch, but Bush reversed about 50 years of progress by pulling the USA out. \n\nI figure <and I'm only figuring> that we will never ever ever ever reach full international agreements. If you mean only the countries that are most likely to try to bomb others, like Iran or the USA, we will have to wait for some competent leaders with competent foreign policies. \n\nDon't get me wrong, though, many countries have made agreements. But I think many people will agree with me that without the USA in peace agreements with you, there is probably no point in attempting world peace.\n\nEDIT: I hope this wasn't a question in your homework. Don't use this :P


I need to know all Yahoo e-mail addresses for Mike Wossum?

I don't think "need" means what you think it means.


in US,e.g.,why101 pronounced as (one o one) instead of (one zero one)110(one one zero)but not(one one o) here?

Pronunciations are dependent on your geographic location in the USA, and what the context is.  Commercials try to use the least amount of time possible, so they will often use "oh" because it's one less syllable than "zero", so it's a little faster to say.  "zero" is more common in mathematics, so that it's not confused with a variable that might be named O.  In regular conversation, generally "zero" or "oh" are both accepted.


How does Hubble's expansion jibe with the speed of light?

Some distant galaxies appear to be accelerating away from us, not just moving at a uniform speed. \n\nAnd the most distant galaxies are probably expanding away from us at more than the speed of light. This does not violate the special theory since no information is being transferred (see reference).


Points and Levels\nTo encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take. The points table below summarizes the point values for different actions. While you can't use points to buy or redeem anything, they do allow everyone to recognize how active and helpful you've been. (And they give you another excuse to brag to your friends.)


I believe the best answer to give you is:\n\n"It depends"\n\nThe main thing that usually holds true with laptops is the more functionality you have, the heavier the computer.\n\nI would say spend whatever your budget allows.  Buy from a known name as well.  I would recommend Dell, HP, Sony, etc.\n\nAlso, keep in mind, whatever you buy now is pretty much what you are stuck with for the long run.  There are very few parts that can be upgraded on a laptop.  The main one being RAM.\n\nHope this helps!

Cystic fibrosis is an the most common autosomal recessive condition in caucasian children.  It has an occurrence of 1/2000 and 1/22 are carriers in the caucasian population.  It is characterized by abnormally elevated sweat chloride levels, pancreatic insufficiency in 85% of patients and blockage of the airway by thick, heavy mucus.  The later contributes to chronic airway infections.  Half the patients die before the age of 30.\n\nThe gene responsible, CFTR on chromosome 7q31 encodes for a chloride ion channel.  A 3-base-pair deletion in the first nucleotide binding domain is a typical cause for the disorder.  \n\nRecent gene therapy trials have attempted in vivo GAT using recombinant adenoviruses or liposomes to deliver the CFTR gene to the respiratory epithelium have been attempted.  The spice tumeric has also been indicated as potentially limiting the severity of the disease.  Finally, liver transplantation may be a possibility.


when i run my computer the CD tray opens only while booting and when whole windows is loaded ot fails to open.

Try opening it with an unfolded paper clip: There is a small hole just under the CD tray. Insert the unfolded clip until the tray pops out.\nYou probably have a mechanical problem. Check if any foreign objects are in the drive. Although I'm almost sure it will be unusable.


I get dry skin on my face but only where hair grows; chin, upper lip and one eye brow; Why?

make sure you're rinsing out the soap after you wash your face.  It is harder to rinse out of hair than just skin, so make sure it has been thouroughly rinsed out.  soap just sitting on your face all day can cause that.


First, beauty comes from within; it is enhanced by the way we act, speak, treat others, and treat ourselves.  Remaining healthy is similar to the first; some health issues are out of our control, but we have the power to give it a good shot.  Eat healthy foods, drink lots of water, exercise, get regular checkups from your doctor and stay away from unhealthy places (bars and crowed elevators :).  Now as for being loveable to others well, treat others the way you want to be treated, and you will be surprised at the response.  Now for you last question, I am still working on that one myself, but if you succeed with all of the above how much wealthier do you want or need to be?

According to answers.com\nhttp://www.answers.com/tornados%20\n\n"Tornadoes develop from severe thunderstorms, usually spawned from squall lines and supercell thunderstorms, though they sometimes happen as a result of a hurricane. They are believed to be produced when cool air overrides a layer of warm air, forcing the warm air to rise rapidly, though tornadoes over water (waterspouts) frequently are observed forming in the absence of convection or apparent strong surface temperature differences. Tornadoes, lightning, and sometimes hail are associated with thunderstorms. Many tornadoes appear at the tail end of mesocyclones. On weather radar screens, a characteristic "hook echo" marks the area where tornadoes are likely to exist."\n\nThe reference will give good idea for how do tornados form


who do i call about my son being beaten many times at orange county jaik while cops do nothing?

The no-BS answer?  In all likelihood they don't really care all that much. The general attitude of most people towards criminals is that if they find prison life a bit harsh or brutal, well they earned it didn't they?  Following on that thought is likely a "Maybe he'll think twice about landing in jail a second time." And that's just the general public, not the folks who are forced to work with murderers and rapists on the one hand, up to petty thieves and drunken idiots on the other. \n\nWhile our society likes to talk about prison as aiming at rehabilitation, for most it is seen as punishment first and foremost.  Think of all the "dropping the soap" humor.  Not too much sympathy for the incarcerated there.  Harsh treatment at the hands of one's fellow prisoners is hardly going to greatly concern many working in the penal system who deal with the dregs of humanity on a daily basis unless it rises to the level of an emergency room visit or two.  \n\nIf you want there to be action taken on your son's behalf, you are going to have to make it more worthwhile for them to intervene than it is for them  to let it slide.  That probably means getting a private attorney, the ACLU, an elected official, or the media involved.  A mother's phone call probably doesn't register highly on their "things to worry about" list given the other challenges involved with managing a population that includes society's baddest of the bad apples.


Is there a directory of Yahoo addresses, how can I search it and can I cross reference snail mail?

I'm not sure if there is a specific directory for people with Yahoo! e-mail addresses, but you might be able to find her e-mail address by searching at http://people.yahoo.com/


whenever I try to access my e-mail Iget a cannot find servor or DNS error?

Try to access it just using the IP address (you can get this if you look at 'details' of old emails you sent). If you CAN, then there is a DNS error. If you have already waited a few days (or three months) and it still doesn't work, you should make sure the DNS entry was made with whoever your DNS provider is.\n\nIf you CANNOT reach it with the IP address, it is more likely your email server has a problem.


How do you operate a ATX power supply without putting it on a motherboard?

The best thing to do is make yourself available for the kiss by being close enough to kiss, and by making subtle hints like eye contact, and \noccasionally staring briefly at his lips.  Also, being alone or in a private setting is important.\n\nIf you make the first move, make sure that you don't come on too strong.  If he likes you and wants to kiss you, he will kiss back by prolonging the kiss or using a little tongue.  If this happens, just respond by relaxing and don't being too agressive with your own tongue.  If you start slowly and carefully, you won't be making any mistakes.  Let him take the lead and if you like it, continue.  If not, pull away and smile.  Remember guys fear rejection as much (or more) than girls do.\n\nIf he doesn't want you to kiss him, he'll pull away.  Let him.  You don't want to waste valuable kissing time on someone who doesn't want you.\n\nAlways remember less is more.  You'll never regret having kissed too little, but you'll always regret coming on too strong.  Remember to remain confident, too.  Don't forget a breath mint!

Who thinks the 4 Marines accused of raping a Filipina girl in Subic Bay did it?

From the news reports it sounds like her story has been corroborated as the soldiers start to point fingers at each other.  \n\nFrom personal experience I saw numerous examples where any girl in Subic was assumed to be a bar girl.  \n\nRegardless of whether she was a bar girl, that doesn't mean that she doesn't have the right to say NO.  \n\nBTW, you can see Olongopo in the movie "An Officer and a Gentleman".

Should there be a recall election for Bush?

Hey gang, I don't think the Constitution allows for a recall election.  I think only states have recall election provisions, and then only some states.  I do think, however, that the states could pass a constitutional amendment making the President answerable to the people for his crimes and come clean with all available records, but can you really imagine such a thing happening, with our f'ed up media?\n\nAs I see it, the only ways to get rid of this President are to a) rise up in a mass, anti-Constitutionally elected government revolution, or b)elect a Democratic majority to the House and then successfully impeach both Bush and Cheney simultaneously, thus giving the Presidency to the Speaker of the House, who would be a Democrat.  To my mind, that's the only real scenario that works.  I suppose if we had a different media and more active populace, a new party could split the vote, and all hell could break loose, but I don't think we're going to see a repeat of what happened in 1860 and Lincoln and the Republican Party takeover of the White House.  So that leaves us with Democrats taking control and actually acting on something the people want, which is impeachment.  And if impeachment isn't acted upon, this country sinks deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole.

Is there any way to make your own experimental telephone out of materials including carbon bits and a speaker?

The original telephone mouthpieces used a small funnel to concentrate the voice onto a thin metal diaphragm that had a metal part (pointer?) that could compress carbon bits more or less as the diaphragm vibrated.  As the carbon bits compressed and decompressed their resistance to the flow of electricity varied in proportion to the compression causing current to flow in an external wire that replicated speech as an analog.  The external wires were connected to the ear piece of the person receiving your message.  The ear piece contained an iron rod wound with many turns of very fine insulated wire forming an electromagnet.  When another very thin round diaphragm of sheet metal (attracted to magnets) was held very near the electromagnetic pole but not touching it, it vibrated in proportion to the current changes produced by the mouthpiece; producing sound waves.  A power supply (DC battery) was included in the circuit to cause current to flow.\n\nI would first try by placing the mouthpiece diaphragm horizontally over a dish of carbon bits with a pointer connected at the center of the diaphragm dipping into the carbon bits.  Gravity will hold the bits in contact with the pointer.  The carbon bits may rest on a conducting plate which is lead out of the dish using a connected insulated small diameter wire.  A second wire would be connected to the pointer or diaphragm if they both conduct electric flow.  Connect the two wires of the mouthpiece to the two wires of the ear piece including your battery in series in the circuit.  Use very small voltage by adding 1.5 volt cells in series as needed so as not to burn out the ear piece.  Experiment with the pointer and confinement of the carbon bits to optimize the rig.\n\nIncidentally, both the mouthpiece and earpiece can be made of wire coils rather than use carbon bits.  Try wiring two earphones together (without a battery) and you can talk in one and hear at the other.  Good luck.

how can i get rid of the tierdness after quit smoking?

Usually, your body is starting to get used to not smoking again within a month.\n\nThis should make you feel less tired already. If it is making you more tired than when you were smoking, you should see a doctor.\n\nSlowly picking up working out will be good too. Have a long term goal. For instance, expect to be a changed person in 6-12 months. Don't expect miracles before the end of the year.

When people sleep, does the mind also dose off, or is it just the body?

The Mind Controls the Body. When you sleep, your mind falls into an altered state of operation, and such follows the body.  Sleep is the time your body repairs and "recharges" itself from the trauma that the previous "awake time" has brought upon it.\nEver had the experience of seeing someone sleepwalk??  It is obvious in seeing such a spectacle that the mind doesn't shut off, but does operate under less than full capacity.

Do you think teaching the theory of evolution in schools should be banned?

Of course not.  Evolution is the study of how man evolved.....not how he was created...Banning this is to leave out a major part of learning knowledge that is  required to continue/progress in the studies of all the sciences relating to beings such as medicine, biology, chemistry etc:  Nothing should be banned in a free society nor beliefs forced upon a person. Also the christian religion should not  be taught (by itself)unless all the other religions of the world are also taught.
