although it's no guarantee, it looks like the mets have a great shot at winning the nl east in 2006.\n\nthe 2005 standings:\n\natlanta: 90-72\nphilly: 88-74\nmets: 83-79\nflorida: 83-79\nwash: 81-81\n\nnow, washington performed well above what was expected of them, as they gave up 30 more runs than they scored. florida has traded all of their talent for prospects. therefore, those 2 teams are likely not going to win the division.\n\natlanta lost their leadoff batter and sparkplug rafael furcal and replaced him with edgar renteria, who was great two years ago but does not provide the same offensive or defensive weapons that furcal does. atlanta also got a monster year out of andruw jones, who likely will not repeat that performance. also, the braves lost their closer, kyle farnsworth, to the yankees and will likely go with chris reitsma, who was good but not great last year in limited duty. however, the young players on the braves roster such as jeff francoeur, adam laroche, and ryan langerhans should develop further. also, a full season of former mvp chipper jones would be helpful. that leaves the braves with a good chance to win 90 games again. \n\nthe phillies traded jim thome to the white sox for aaron rowand, which improves their team even though i feel they should have gotten more for thome. with a shot at first base for a full season, ryan howard should put up some incredible numbers. chase utley, their 2nd baseman, should also leap to stardom this year. however, the phillies other big star, bobby abreu, wants to be traded, and that most likely means that the phils will not get full value for him. lastly, they lost their elite closer, billy wagner, to the mets. tom gordon, though he's old, should be a serviceable replacement, but will not be as lights-out as wagner. unless brett myers becomes consistent and shows he can be an ace, the phillies pitching staff is comprised basically of a #2 starter, 3 #3 starters and a #4. many teams would be happy with that pitching staff, but it doesn't win the division for you.\n\nthat leaves the mets. the mets record last year was worse than it should have been, as they scored many more runs than they gave up. trading for carlos delgado to replace the worst 1b positional output in the majors will be a big boost. signing wagner to close instead of the shaky braden looper will help a lot as well, as looper blew 8 of 36 save chances. add in the continued development of david wright, who exploded at the end of last season, and jose reyes, as well as a bounceback year for center fielder carlos beltran, and the mets look very good up and down. paul lo duca should provide similar numbers to last year's fading mike piazza, but should also stay healthy, as the mets backup, ramon castro, is solid and should play every fourth game or so. the mike cameron-xavier nady trade made a lot of people say "huh?", but it's actually good for the mets, as victor diaz has proven himself worthy of a shot to play in right field every day. if jae seo gets a chance to start for the full season and performs like he did at the end of last season, he will be a solid #2 pitcher. problems could include the aging of tom glavine and steve trachsel, the inconsistency of kris benson, and the lack of bullpen depth. i'm not convinced that uber-GM omar minaya won't get his team more help in the bullpen, with rumors abound that the mets wish to sign danys baez, the devil rays all-star closer, to set up for wagner.\n\nall in all, this mets team could win 100 games and take the nl east easily.

What do the eagles need to improve on in the offseason?

The Eagles need to find a consistent WR in the draft. Perhaps Sinorice Moss, the younger brother of Santana Moss would help. Their defense also needs some help. I don't know what happened to them, but next year they shouldn't be all that bad. As for McNabb, I'm sick of all this pressure being thrown on him by both Owens and the media. As long as he stays healthy, the Eagles could be a threat--provided Andy Reid keeps the offense balanced. As for Owens, good luck finding a new team.


The smell of death.\n\nThere's nothing else like it.\n\nAnd it's the hardest thing to deal with, especially when you make a living cleaning up after death.\n\nMarshall Mulloy, the owner of Paul Davis Restoration in the Philadelphia suburbs knows the smell well.\n\n"It's hard to cope with death and it's a depressing thing to have to go in after a suicide or homicide or even a natural death," he says. "The odor of the aftermath is something you don't forget."\n\nMulloy says his company has cleaned just about everything, including vehicles.\n\n"I've even done cars that were totaled after a deer went through the windshield," he says. "We've had guys that shot themselves in the head in their car and have cleaned it up for auction."\n\nhttp://www.officer.com/article/article.jsp?siteSection=18&id=26242

Do you think the Philadelphia Flyers make it to the Stanley Cup this year? Why or why not?

Unfortunately I think they're get beat in the Eastern Conference Finals by Ottawa. Although the Flyers have been able to beat Hasek in the past, so I'll keep my fingers crossed!\nOh, and Gagne needs to figure out that he can play without Forsberg, he's been awful since Forsberg got hurt.


the main substrate for the secretion of ammonia in the kidney?

The Urea (or the Krebs-Hensliet) cycle outlines the mechanism by which ammonia is finally produced in the final reaction (involving Arginine, if I am right)\n\nAmmonia excretion can also be regarded as excretion of Nitrogen from different intermediates in the body. All of these N containing intermediates converge into the TCA cycle from where they become amino acids through enzymes known as deaminases or transminases. These amino acids converge to a common amino acid (alanine in humans, if i recollect well) which then travels to Kidney and initiates the UREA cycle to finally result in the production of Ammonia


Does decaf coffee count for my daily water intake?

I'm partial to Turner frames.  Check out the 5 Spot for an all around trail bike, the 6 Pack if you want more travel for aggressive riding, or the Flux for a lightweight trail bike that can hold its own on the race course.\n\nTurners are known for a great balanced ride feel, stiff/solid construction, and great customer service.\n\nNote: Turner recently changed the design of the suspension linkage on all their bikes.  Reviews indicate no significant change to how the bikes ride, but if this is the sort of thing you care about, read through the reviews at mtbr.com.

One way to open a geode -- to reveal the crystals -- is with a chisel and hammer. Score the geode completely around the outside where you want it to crack -- usually in two equal halves. Keep going until it cracks and breaks apart. This will almost always work and won't damage the crystals.

Why does the computer take so long to load if it doesn't have a virus?

Even though your computer may not have a virus, it could contain spyware that can slow down your computer.  Also depending upon whether or not you have dial-up or cable modem, it could also be the amount of space that your computer has reserved for the internet.

As someone who knows nothing about networking, how do I network my PCs with a wireless router?

That's assuming the main drive is labled C.  This also only works for a Windows computer.  What you failed to mention is how she will access information that has been set to be shared.  First off, you want to set a password when your sharing a folder or drive.  You should see a prompt when your setting share settings.  To access a computer that has a shared drive, simply go to network neighborhood, find the computer by clicking on it, and you should be prompted to enter the password you earlier gave, then you have access to the files, you can drag/drop and even save files to other computers.


what is the best way to stop smoking?? i have smoked for 20 years & need to stop...?

I myself am trying to quit, as of the day after Christmas. You'd think seeing my mom die from lung cancer when I was 29 years old would have been motivation enough. It is sooo hard, especially around your "triggers". For me, it's at home after work. My dad told me when he quit he would go for a walk or take a drink of water. I have tried them as well. I have not had luck with the patch nor the gum. I am trying cold turkey again. I have a straw I "inhale" at home .. just a straw. It seems to be working. Then I think about how gross it is and why I don't want to do it anymore. There's a great commercial out there that shows a dr saying he doesn't think he can operate and then a smoker saying I dont' think I can quit.\nI think the clincher for me is that my best friends kids are 13 and 14 and are both smoking. I was a little bit younger than that so I am trying to be a good example to them. I have to quit. \nI wish you success in the new year to quit smoking.


Yes.  He murdered four people in cold blood.  Volumes of evidence were presented proving his guilt.  Even the 9th Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, proven to be the most liberal, anti-death-penalty court in the nation, could not find sufficient cause to nullify the verdict.  He received his fair trial, his fair appeals process.  He continuously professed his innocence to delay (for nearly 30 years) his sentence, nothing more.  He capitalized on the fact that American society, with it's EXTREMELY short attention span, would forget the horrific crimes he committed.  He gambled on the possibility that we would forget what he did, become desensitized to it, and dismiss the jury's decision overly harsh.  Some arguing in his defense tried to portray the jury as a bunch of racist white rich folks intent on "murdering another innocent black man" (it wasn't all-white, check the record).  Fortunately, all of the right people saw through his charade, and ended his shennanigans, permanently.


a keyloid is a scar that has gone wild... it is usually caused by a bad wound on your body... I had one on my ear from a piercing and I have known other people to get them after they have had an surgery. mine looks like a peanut hanging off my ear but the ones on the skin look like raise skin. NO it is not cancerous and can be treated if you see a doctor with injections or removal all together

Which should i join, the Navy or the Air Force?

Being a Navy wife for 30 years, I would say the Air Force. The brances go by reading levels. Air Force, Navy, Marine, Army are the levels. Then you want the pay. Same levels. Education, Medical, Dental is offered by all branches no difference. You want to get a job that pays good and one that advancement is in. It is all about time in and money. When the recuritor tells you you will be getting your Medical "Free" that used to make me laugh, because it comes out of your taxes you are paying for it. Not the president. No there is no money transpired, but you are still paying for it. If you want to go into the service, go to college first, go in as an officer not a civilian. Money money money.  That is what you want to get. Your rate and rank has to go up.You will always be tested to achive a better rate. Now, it is a big commetment.  You are going to get married to the service.  There is no way out until your tour is up and then they ask you if you want to stay in.  Will you be educated enough from the military to go out into the world and get a good paying job?  Suppose you fall in love and get married, you cannot live on base unless you are a certain rate. Base living is very nice, but you are not making a lot of money. So now you have to live off base.  Rent is high. So no marriage until your first tour is up get your education and your money.  Better still, go to college before you go into any branch of the service. \nPlease go to college first.


What is Python 1.5, and can i delete it from my computer?

Python is a computer language, much like Basic or C or Cobol is a language.  It's an interpretive language, and so often when you install other software, Python is installed with it.\n\nPerhaps some program that you installed also installed Python.  Several BitTorrent programs were written in Python.  It's an open source language, so consider what programs you have installed recently.  \n\nCan you delete it?  Most likely.  But there's a good chance that something won't run - probably just a software package that you picked up along the way.  But if something stops running, you can always re-install Python.\n\nSee http://www.python.org


What are good sound reasons for getting a divorce?

Watch for the red flags prior to marriage.  But when in love, we often miss the red flags, so if that happens, here are what I consider serious and justifiable grounds:\n\nAdultery -- many people can't move past this.  It's a physical betrayal, but also tears at you emotionally.  I personally think it's one of the most difficult ones to resolve.\n\nAbuse -- physical or verbal.  Verbal often gets overlooked, but it's namecalling, screaming at you rather than holding a normal conversation, talked down to, and did I mention yelling and screaming?  If you ask the person a normal question, like "do you have any change for the toll?" and they start screaming that "all you do is harp about money," you've got a problem.  Physical is obvious, but don't overlook punching walls, breaking dishes, etc.  Watch out for signs of roughness or  meanness to your children and pets too.\n\nControl Freaks:  This is also a form of abuse, but these men want to know your every move, monitor your phone calls, read your email and voice mails, won't let you go to the mall alone, etc.  Insist that if you get a new hairdo or buy a new dress, it must be because you're cheating with someone.  This is usually disguised as jealousy which women may think lattering -- at first.  Don't be fooled.  Control freaks also don't want you to hold a job or have any money of your own.  You must beg for an "allowance."\n\nFinancial:  There are a lot of men who live off women.  They have jobs when you meet them.  Then, something happens, and it's always the company or bosses fault.  They tell you they're out job hunting, but nothing is happening.  Next comes laying around on the couch all day, sleeping, watching tv or guzzling beer.  Weeks turn into months and it's just you working.  Or, the person flits from job to job and can't hold a job.  This man will plunge you right into financial ruin and guess what -- you can't get them out of the house all that easy, if it happens to be your house and not a joint home.  Keep an eye out that they don't dip into your wallet.  A dollar or two missing, here and there, usually becomes much more.  You'll get behind on bills, your credit will suffer.  Don't stand for this.\n\nAddictive behavior:  Drugs, alchoholism, gambling.  Will cause you nothing but stress, pain and financial hardship.  Don't try to be the hero and "help" the person out of despair.  Unless you are rich enough to get them into very good rehab, like the movie stars do, it probably won't work.  Addicts can only be helped if they want to be and you'll be surprised how many enjoy the behavior and have no desire to give it up.  I've seen men go to AA or a counseling session, come right out and stop at a bar.  It is almost a joke with them.  You may keep gamblers out of casinos, but they'll spend a whole paycheck on lottery tickets or the football pool.\n\nIllegal behavior:  Selling drugs, stealing, pulls insurance scams, (or any scams), etc., RUN.  He'll eventually get caught and you might get implicated too!  Do you want his record to become yours?\n\nGood luck.

when your boyfriend and you don't talk much yet how do you figure out how he feels about you.?

I'm generally a quiet person, and I was very quiet around my now-girlfriend when I first met her. I think that likely drove her crazy... because she couldn't tell how I felt about her. After we hooked up and started seeing each other more often, my feelings just came through. I couldn't hold them to myself. There was a need to share them with her that I just couldn't imagine keeping inside.\n\nBut that's me - and not everyone is the same. Some people are emotionally sheltered and prefer to keep their feelings hidden away. Body language, gestures, and general mood and disposition toward you can give you clues as to how your significant other really feels. The question you need to ask, when you're finding yourself actively looking for attention like this, is whether or not you can be happy in the long term under these circumstances.\n\nPeople are tough to change, and if this is something you need, and your significant other is having a hard time dealing with that... you may need to re-evaluate your situation, or have a long and frank discussion with them regarding this.

Over hundreds of years, the glass in glass windows sinks down to the bottem.  So is glass a liquid or a solid?

This is pretty much a question of the definition you are using.\n\nIn a strict definition, conventional solids have a crystalline structure. Under this definition, glass is a supercooled, highly viscous liquid rather than a conventional (crystalline) solid. \n\nIn many ways, glass acts like a solid. Using that behaviour as a criterion, glass is a solid.


where did the phrase "this too shall pass" originate?

"This too shall pass" is the title of a poem by Helen Steiner Rice. \n\nThe almost identical phrase: "And this, too, shall pass away" has been traced to an Abraham Lincoln speech. \n\nIt could just be a deliberate reference to the Bible: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." (Matthew 24:35 and elsewhere). \n\nApparently it was old Persian proverb and a Hebrew parable: \n\n... written three Hebrew letters on the gold band: gimel, zayin, yud, which began the words "Gam zeh ya'avor" -- "This too shall pass."


Has Anyone ever read the book "To Kill a Mockingbird?"?

Yes.\n\nTo Kill a Mockingbird is a 1960 novel by Harper Lee, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1961. It was made into an Academy Award-winning motion picture starring Gregory Peck by director Robert Mulligan in 1962. A coming-of-age story, it is told from the point of view of Jean Louise "Scout" Finch, the young daughter of Atticus Finch, an educated lawyer in Maycomb, Alabama, a small town in the deep South of the United States. She is accompanied by her brother Jem and their mutual friend Dill.\n\nTruman Capote was a lifelong friend of childhood neighbor Lee, and allegedly was the inspiration for Dill's character in her best-seller. Capote frequently implied that he himself had written a considerable portion of her novel, and some have said he ghosted the entire novel. At least one person—Pearl Kazin Bell, an editor at Harper's— has gone on record as believing his assertions were true.\n\nThe title of the book is taken from Atticus's advice to his children about firing their air rifles at birds: "Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird". The blue jay is a very common bird, and is often perceived as a bully and a pest, whereas mockingbirds do nothing but "sing their hearts out for us". Metaphorically, several of the book's characters can be seen as "mockingbirds", attacked despite doing nothing but good. The mockingbird represents innocence, and to kill one is to metaphorically kill innocence. Note that the protagonists are also named after birds: Tom Robinson and the Finch family. However, "Finch" was also Lee's mother's maiden name.\n\nHarper Lee stated, "To get the ideas for the book I used recent events in my time like the Scottsboro Trials." (Harper Lee, Book Review, 1964)\n\nThe events of this book's publication and the following film are also subjects of the 2005 film Capote starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote and Catherine Keener as Harper Lee. It is also an excellent film and will likely be considered in one category or another for an Academy Award.


Immanuel means "God with us."  It was used in the Biblical prophets to predict the coming of Jesus (Isaiah 7 and 8) and is referred to in Matthew 1, when the angel Gabrial announces the birth of Jesus to Joseph.  Here's an excerpt from Matthew:\n\nThis is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. \n\n    But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[c] because he will save his people from their sins." \n\n    All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"[d]—which means, "God with us." \n\n    When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.


Do you generally care about other people, or simply live life for yourself?

Relationships with others enrich one's own life.  While living for one's self can be rewarding in a more immediate sense, helping others give a sense of gratification that can't be matched by egoistic tendencies.


Does anybody know what program allows you to use the satellite to discover another places?

I would say that at this time Google Earth is pretty much as good as it gets.  It is an amazing program.  Any other program would probably utilize the same satellite imagery.


What are best general purpose binoculars for astronomy?

It depends.  Just about any binoculars provide good view.  Make certain you stay away from very strong magnifications, otherwise you will need a tripod to keep them steady and may get dizzy without it.  The larger magnifications also limit your field of view.  \n\nI have some 8x42 Nikons that are great.  \n\nJust in case you are not aware:  the first number given in the binocular is the magnification.  Stick with 7 or 8.  The 10s you will need the stabilization electronics or a mono/tripod.  \n\nThe second number provides information on how much light comes through the lens.  \n\nFor example...if you were to compare the same brand and model with the exception of the number difference: 8x25 vs 8x42:  \n\nThe 8x25 will provide the same size image but the 8x42 will provide a brighter image.   If you are thinking about purchasing online...before you do find a camera store or a sporting goods store to see how they feel and get a better feel for what you really want.  Hope that helps...happy star viewing!\n\nAlso another possible source for help would be to see if there is a local star party group in your area.  Drop by one night; it can be fun to meet some experienced viewers with telescopes already setup as well as some people who have the really large expensive scopes which you may not be able to afford.


What do you think is the best age to be?  Why?

25!  Hands down.  I loved it.  My auto insurance dropped.  No one thought of me as a child anymore.  I felt grown.  I wasn't 'old' yet.  it is the perfect age.  Just grown enough to be grown.  Just young enough to be young...I have been turning 25 for the last 7 years!


You just end it. It really doesn´t matter why, the point is: you don´t want it anymore and it´s enough. Break up with the person, cry and be sad the time you need and then, be happy again :-)

Is there anything one can do to "spice" up what appears to be a dull relationship (marriage)?

Here's a hint:  Men like women to show initiative with romance and eroticsm--too often in relationships it's considered the "man's job" to get things moving! This will sound corny, but give it a shot:  First, if you've got kids, send them to the grandparents for the night in advance without him knowing (say on a Friday).  Next, turn off all the lights in the house and place scented candles in the bedroom and run a hot bubble bath just before he normally arives home.  Have some wine and two wine glasses at the ready on the coffee table, and rose petals on the floor leading a trail to the bedroom--or whereever you're most memorable encounter that you can remember occurred.  Personally, I like David Sanborn or some other smooth jazz playing in the background. Music is important to setting the mood, and if you've got cable or a dish, you can tune it to the music of your choice. Just before he gets home, slip into a nice satin & lace nightie and cover it with a heavy robe.  When he gets to the door, be there waiting to flash him and let him know what you've got in store for the evening.  Not in a crude way, mind you.  Most importantly, take your time...don't rush.  The anticipation of that which is to come will be as intense as the act itself.  Hope that helps!\nPeace,\nJayZ

What's it like, being in a relationship?

Not to complicate things or anything but it really depends on how each persons acts within a relationship.  As long as each person asks like themselves and is not trying to put on an act to ipress the other person it can be great.  Seeing that each one of you accept one another for who you are. \n  On the other side if you feel like you have to be soembody you are not simply to get the other person to like you then the relationship is doomed to fail, because you will eventually get tired of not being yourself.  The relationship will be horrible.\n  Being in a relationship can be the greatest thing ever. All you have to do is comunicate and be yourself and you will be happy


How are materials exchanged through capillaries?

Capillaries are thin-walled blood vessels in which gas exchange occurs. In the capillary, the wall is only one cell layer thick. Capillaries are concentrated into capillary beds. Some capillaries have small pores between the cells of the capillary wall, allowing materials to flow in and out of capillaries as well as the passage of white blood cells. Nutrients, wastes, and hormones are exchanged across the thin walls of capillaries. Capillaries are microscopic in size, although blushing is one manifestation of blood flow into capillaries. Control of blood flow into capillary beds is done by nerve-controlled sphincters. \n\n\nChanges in blood pressure, velocity, and the area of the arteries, capillaries, and veins of the circulatory system. Image from Purves et al., Life: The Science of Biology, 4th Edition, by Sinauer Associates (www.sinauer.com) and WH Freeman (www.whfreeman.com), used with permission.\n\nThe circulatory system functions in the delivery of oxygen, nutrient molecules, and hormones and the removal of carbon dioxide, ammonia and other metabolic wastes. Capillaries are the points of exchange between the blood and surrounding tissues. Materials cross in and out of the capillaries by passing through or between the cells that line the capillary.

As a Freshmen starting college, is it better to go away for school or stay home in this day and age?

It is my personal opionion and personal observation that people who separate themselves from their parents at an early age do better in the long run.  \n\nPeople who stayed home never grew up emotionally or became financially independant. Parents tend to enable kids staying kids for as long as personal.\n\nI am being honest about this knowing my kids will be ready to leave home soon enough and I will not want to see them go.

roito..  i'm no scientist, but the way i see it, since so many of our other elements have been hypothesized to be formed in a solar furnace, i'd take berilium to be no exception.  it's probably just left over from the nebula that produced our solar system.  However, astral bodies that collide with the earth also carry with them certain chemicals, so the source of berilium on this planet can also be attributed to some degree to those, as well.  \nhere's a neat factoid for ye..  protein strains that are slammed into the earth at those fantastic speeds known to meteors, upon impact, form amino acids...  if i can recall that episode of NOVA i saw on m'local PBS station correctly.  ;)

Christmas - 96%\n2. Hanukkah - 5%\n3. Kwanzaa - 2%\n4. (Other/Refused) - 1%\n5. (None) - 1%\n\nSo, I say if the majority celebrates it...why let the minority get us down...

What's your favorite programming language?

Well, I just fell in love with Ruby, when I began to learn it a week ago... I've been programming for 15 years and had been seriously hoping to make my own language one of these days, because all the languages I was used to had severe limitations at every turn.  I don't know how to explain all the reasons why I hate conventional languages, but let it suffice to say that Ruby lets you do virtually anything you want to do; it supports a wide variety of programming styles, and can do many things that are difficult or impossible in other languages, such as metaprogramming (the possibilities with this seem endless), arbitrarily changing existing classes (including built-in classes), coroutines (although you'll have to implement them yourself, since Ruby only has continuations built in), lightweight (non-OS) threads, closures, multiple inheritance (well, not exactly, but Ruby's "mixins" are just as good), "freezing" objects, and on and on.\n\nAlso, after reading through the online book Programming Ruby, I got the feeling that the designer and developer ("Matz") really knew what he was doing.  The parts of the language fit together well and on the whole, the language is well rounded, with a feature for everyone.\n\nFinally, Ruby is easy to play with, because\n(1) you don't have do define a class and a method and write a ton of import/include/using statements (as in Java/C#/C++) -- code at the top level automatically runs (in a hidden method called "main", I think.)\n(2) you get the interactive interpreter called IRB, with which you can type statements and get immediate results.  Multi-line statements (such as method and class definitions) are also allowed.\n\nThe one big problem with Ruby is that it is dynamically typed and interpreted, and thus very slow, although I've heard it is not much slower than Python or Perl.\n\nMy second favorite language is C# 2.0, which has most of the features I would want in a statically-typed language.  (although there's certainly enough missing that I still wish I had time to develop my own language.)

how do you get aids physically? do condom provideone of the best protection?

As far as I understand, there must be some body fluid contact, however small. AIDS virus is found in blood, semen and vaginal secretions but oddly enough, NOT saliva. \n\n"Fluid contact" usually involves sexual intercourse, but may also happen when sharing needles, recieving contaminated blood etc. \n\nNot having sex at all provides the best protection, condoms are second best. In addition to condoms, good lubrication is also important, as it prevents the condom from breaking, and small skin abrasions from occuring. Your best bet is to use condoms and KY Jelly -- it's cheap & easy to apply (I wonder why so many people don't use it!). \n\nCondoms are not 100% safe, of course, but neither is driving to work in the morning.\n\nAIDS risk from unprotected o-r-a-l sex is low, but there are other things you can catch that way. A-n-a-l sex is very risky, abrasions are more likely to appear since lubrication often inadequate.\n\n( Yahoo Answers censors some words, hence the dashes. What a silly policy -- does AIDS advice need to be censored? I bet if I used really, really, nasty language, the filter would not catch them. )


what kind of a person does it take to be a surgical technologist?

You have to be a person that is detail oriented and like to see gross stuff.  The surgical Tech usually finishes up what the doctor doesn't want to do, at times you will have to sew up the incision.  They also have to account for all the stuff hta the doctors uses(gauze, scissors, and all of the instruments).  They have to make sure that everything is accounted for so that it is not inside the person before the person is sewed up.  It is a fun job but you have to like the work if you go into the field, but for the most part it is fun.  The school part of it is hard but it is worth the work for the pay.

What are some treatment options for a herniated disc in the lower spine?

The initial treatment for a herniated disc is usually conservative and nonsurgical. Your doctor may prescribe bed rest, or advise you to maintain a low, painless activity level for a few days to several weeks. This helps the spinal nerve inflammation to decrease.  herniated disc is frequently treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication if the pain is only mild to moderate. An epidural steroid injection may be performed utilizing a spinal needle under x-ray guidance to direct the medication to the exact level of the disc herniation. Your doctor may recommend physical therapy. Therapy may include pelvic traction, gentle massage, ice and heat therapy, ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, and stretching exercises. Pain medication and muscle relaxants may also be beneficial in conjunction with the physical therapy. If these conservative measures do not help, then usually surgery is indicated.

Do aliens exist? Are they on this planet right now?

They don't exist.\n\nThey exist and have a level of technology similar or less advanced then we have.\n\nThey exist and have a superior level of technology.\n\nIf they have our level or a lesser level of technology it is not likely that we would know about them. With our current ability to communicate long distances it would take thousands of years to get a signal from the nearest galaxy, or to travel those distances. \n\n\nIf the have a superior level of technology we would probably not be able to detect them. \n\nSo, it is possible given the size and scope of the universe, however, it would be damn hard to prove.

What is the difference between religion and psychiatry?

Well Just a mom. You're having a cranky day aren't you. There is bad Psychiatry and there is bad Religion. Somebody in Med school and Seminary had to make the C's and D's. I think it is a little over the top to think that either Psychiatry or Religion is bad. I think it makes more sense to believe that I have a bad Psychiatrist or I have a bad Minister. A lot of people have better lives and believe that they have greater freedom because of the impact of Psychiatry or Religion on their lives. Not all of them are stupid. There are some people smarter than either of us who are solidly convinced that both Psychiatry and Relgion are real and that they can be complimentary. You have to decide what you believe and be prepared to deal with how your beliefs serve you or fail you.

Why do people say 'pardon my french' when they cuss?

Taken from the included link: "This phrase, in which French refers to "bad language", is employed when the speaker feels compelled to use an obscenity despite having listeners who might be offended.  It's a late 19th century euphemism which first appeared in Harper's Magazine in 1895.\n\nIt is thought that the term French is employed in this sense as it already had a history of association with things considered vulgar.  As far back as the early 16th century, French pox and the French disease were synonyms for genital herpes, and French-sick was another term for syphillis.  The OED also equates the adjective French with "spiciness", as in French letter for "condom", French kiss (1923) and French (i. e. "sexually explicit") novels (from 1749)."

what is the jewish custom of putting rocks on a graveto show love and care for the deceased?

The custom of placing stones on a grave or gravestone may hearken back to the biblical custom of erecting a pile of stones over a grave as a marker. It may also reflect the importance of visitation to the grave, with the stone indicating that someone has been to visit.\n\nRabbi David Wolpe suggests that in ancient times, a shepard counted his sheep at the beginning of the day by carrying the corresponding number of stones, and these were used to ascertain that the same number returned at night. Rabbi Wolpe then suggests that thestones may symbolize how precious each soul is to God, who, as it were, 'counts" each person in the world.\n\n-->

It's the one million dollar question in baseball circles right now.  Or maybe not, but it certainly has been headlining quite a few articles at various sports sites on the net.\n\nAt this point, its up in the air.  I think the past season wore on Clemens and that he's ready to call it quits.  But, since he will be training and working on staying in shape for the WBC, it's possible that he could carry that into the regular season and play one more season.  Staying with Houston would seem to make the most sense for him, but you know that the Yanks, Red Sox and Rangers will be interested (as well as a handful of other clubs) and may make things interesting.

how can you get a girl to get freakie and be okay with it when your married and she is single?

Start by leaving out the woman who is not your wife.  Your job as a husband is to love your wife, not to try to get freak with as many other women.\n\nGetting freaky with your wife starts by making love to her mind, getting her in the mood, reminding her why she married you.  \n\nIt starts that morning when you not only tell her, but show her how lucky you feel to have her.  You start building anticipation for the event hours later.\n\nMan, making love to a woman is a 24x7 job.  Stop slacking and get to work man.  You will not be disappointed.


why does a human live for only abt 70 odd years..........?

People have a genetic coding that basically extends life to approx 125 years old.  Our genetic make up accounts for approximately 30% of our life expectancy.  Environment and habits accounts for the other 70%.  Our bodies are constantly breaking down and our body does not have the ability to repair these breakdown indefinately.  Once our body loses the ability to repair our breakdowns we begin to see signs of aging.  Once the process begins we are unable to effectively stop it.  Maybe with advances of science and gene therapy we can extend our ability to repair but until then you are kind of stuck with your genetic make up.

what is "allometric chenge" in geomorphology?

Allometry is the study of the relative rates of change of two variables of a system. In the study of landforms, or the processes acting upon them, the power function Y = a Xb is useful for correlating changes in variables. Allometric analysis includes the study of dynamic interrelations during geomorphic history, or the static interrelations at a given time. Such analyses may include aspects of geomorphic open systems that are tending toward a steady state, have attained a steady state, or do not tend toward a steady state. The highly flexible allometric model can be used to demonstrate adjustment between interdependent variables of hillslopes, streams, and depositional environments.\n\nIt is highly unlikely that geomorphic steady states exist, because the dependent variables of a geomorphic open system cannot attain a time-independent state where the independent variables do not remain constant. Independent variables, such as climate, uplift, base level, erodibility of surficial materials, and impact of man, are changing at rates that are sufficiently rapid as to preclude attainment of steady state, particularly for those landforms that require geologic time spans to approach steady-state configurations. For most studies of processes and landforms, a broad perspective of the interrelations of materials, processes, and landforms can be obtained by using the model of allometric change in which landscape elements and processes are changing at different rates.

What is the best website for Government Grants and loans for disabled or low income 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 the life situation best applicable to you 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.\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


Do women really care about finding a nice guy?

Girls do like nice guys. I had a bad boy phase myself, but after I got sick of their games and lies, a nice guy was the one who won my heart afterall. Sometimes it is hard for a girl to see that a guy they are dating isn't nice at first. Alot of jerks act super nice to get into bed with them, and even abusers have been known to act really sweet to the girl to gain their trust and then ruin their self confidence bit by bit, but the whole time, the girl may not see it, they see the "nice" guy they fell in love with. They sometimes never realize it was an act all along. Outsiders realize that this guy is a jerk, but the girl is so naive, they think that he really is nice, deep down. Some girls also feel they do not deserve someone nice. I felt this way for awhile after a mentally abusive relationship. I thought noone decent would love me. But I was wrong, and the girls who only date jerks are too. Just hard to make them see it. Find a girl who is ready for a nice guy, they are out there, justhard to find nowadays ;)


Have you ever seen the movie "Event Horizon?"?

Unfortunately, yes. I think Manohla Dargis of the LA Weekly said it best:\n\n"The worst thing about Event Horizon--written by Philip Eisner, directed by Paul Anderson--isn't all the gore decorating the 21st-century space ship that gives the movie its name, but the filmmakers' reliance on shock edits and headache-inducing sound F/X to obscure the fact that this is one of the most derivative movies to hit screens in memory."

The speed of sound in air depends on a number of factors - air temperature and pressure.  Generally the higher the altitude the lower the speed of sound.\n\nIn air, sound waves travel at around 330 metres/second (when the air temperature is 0 degrees centigrade). At 40 degrees centigrade (a very very hot day) the velocity increases to 354 metres/second in air.\n\nThe average figure for speed of sound at standard temperature and pressure is quoted as 343 metres per second or 767 miles per hour.


According to news sites, the Earth's rotation slows only 2 milliseconds each 100 years. So why the heck are

nothing to do with daylight savings. Daylight savings is a human invention, not a natural phenomenon.\n\n...because leap seconds are not being added to compensate for the Earth's rotation slowing down.\n\nThe amount of time it takes for the earth to revolve around the sun is 365.2425 days.\n\nEven that is an approximation, the decimal digits can keep going on.\n\nSo initially, the calendar was divided evenly in 365 days. But about every 4 years, you'd be off 1 day. A century later, you've drifted off by a whole month!\n\nSo, leap years came into effect. Febuary has another day every 4 years. \n\nBut now you've approximated a year to 365.25 days, when in reality, its 365.2425 days.\n\nEvery century, you'll be off 1 day.\n\nSo that's where the next rule comes into play: "If the year is divisible by 4, but not by 100, its a leap year."\n\nNow we've approximated it to 365.2425, but because its always going to be an approximation, our calendar days are always slipping. All because the earth doesn't take exactly 365 days to go around the sun.\n\nThis is why leap seconds are added, and not to account for the slowdown of the earth's rotation.\n\nAs to why days are divided in exactly 24 hours, I'm not sure. But I would think the time difference is WAY less than 20 minutes, or we'd notice that soon enough, its dark at noon! :)  Time was divided a long time ago, and a simple system was sought for keeping track of it, so the minuts/hour/year thing is a nice division thats easy to do math with. The lost time, if its accounted for by leap years and such, could be easier to manage.\n\nFirst, I never said the earth is not slowing down. I said its not why leap seconds exist. And ok, I can entertain my explanation may be wrong, but that's no reason for your condescending tone, Jolly Roger. But look, your link brings me to a christian science evanglism site, where is the evidence that my answer is incorrect? \n\nYou haven't bothered to explain his original question. If leapseconds account for the slowdown of the earth's rotation, why are there leap seconds and not leap milliseconds?\n\nIf you want to append to your answer, at least try to do so while respecting the other users on this site, and not insult their intelligence.\n\nThis has piqued my curiosity, if there's anyone out there that has a source that says my explanation is incorrect, I mean an actual science website, you know, one that steers clear of religion, please let me know.


It is called a Quasquicentennial (quasqui = 25, centennial = 100 years).


Where did the tradition of Christmas trees start?

In the 7th century a monk from Crediton, Devonshire, went to Germany to teach the Word of God. He did many good works there, and spent much time in Thuringia, an area which was to become the cradle of the Christmas Decoration Industry.\n\nLegend has it that he used the triangular shape of the Fir Tree to describe the Holy Trinity of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The converted people began to revere the Fir tree as God's Tree, as they had previously revered the Oak. By the 12th century it was being hung, upside-down, from ceilings at Christmastime in Central Europe, as a symbol of Christianity.\n\nThe first decorated tree was at Riga in Latvia, in 1510. In the early 16th century, Martin Luther is said to have decorated a small Christmas Tree with candles, to show his children how the stars twinkled through the dark night.


Why are jews so few in numbers even though their religion came before christianity & Islam ?

Jews have been persecuted for Centuries for stupid reasons and have been made scrapegoats in many other occasions and forced to emigrate.  \n\nKnowing that you can be expulsed from your country at any time does not make you very enclined to have many children. \n\nAdd to that the millions of Jews who were forced to convert in the Middle Ages and have now lost their heritage...\n\nAlso, Judaism in itself can feel restrictive (food laws as an example) and it tends to be centered on ancestors and ties to the land of Israel which makes it harder to recruit converts.


Is it true that your personality is determine by your date and place of birth?

Genetics my question asker play the major role in determining your personality, however some people do believe that when you are concieved plays a part, because your mother has to deal with different enviromental factors with the changing of the seasons.\nAlso, the moon phases are believed to have an effect on the amniotic fluid you are swimming around in.\nAll of this leads to hints why people born under certain astrological signs act the way they do.


sbc offers different price rates for dsl.  what is the best if my son will be playing x box live?

Xbox Live is just like any online game. The biggest issue you will ever see has to do with Latency, also known as "Lag". \n\nLatency occurs when there are bottlenecks in the general network layout. Think LA freeways at 5pm on a Friday night. Unfortunately this issue is not one you can change, because it has to do with the actual design of the network, so choosing your provider properly is essential.\n\nCable Internet, in its basic form, is a shared medium. This means that every person who subscribes to Cable in your neighborhood shares the same on-ramp to the internet. This is only a problem if there are large numbers of concurrent users in your area.\n\nDSL, on the other hand, connects you to the backbone in a more efficient, seperated manner. This has the advantage of being much less susceptible to latency. Unfortunately, this advantage goes down the farther away from the switching office (CO) you are. \n\nAnother thing to consider is newer Cable networks tend to use a different model of communications than the old ones, and so approach DSL levels of service.\n\nTo sum up: DSL is better than Cable, but tends to be slower. However any speed higher than about 1 meg / sec should be MORE than sufficient to run today's games.

does putting alot of jobs on your resume hurt when looking for employnwent?

I stopped putting those little jobs on mine, and I don't think anyone cares.  (Having a lot there can make the resume hard to read, and bury the important work you've done.)\n\nMostly, employers are concerned with experience that actually relates to the job for which you're submitting the resume.\n\nUsually, if an employer wants a _complete_ job history (for government jobs, background checks, etc), they'll give you a separate form with plenty of legal language concerning the honesty of your answers.\n\nJust make sure you're completely honest about your work history when it comes time to sign forms.

Where do my teeth get their "Wisdom" from?

WISDOM TEETH: IS IT WISE TO REMOVE THEM?\n\nCommon misunderstandings surround their name origin, removal reasons and pain sources\n\nWisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to grow in the back of\nthe mouth. Common misunderstandings surround their name origin, removal reasons and\npain sources, according to the Academy of General Dentistry, an organization of\ngeneral dentists dedicated to continuing education. \n\n"The name 'wisdom teeth' is age related - third molars don't erupt until teenage\nyears and beyond, when people theoretically are more wise to the world," says Trey\nPetty, DDS, FAGD, spokesperson for the Academy of General Dentistry.\n\nCommon reasons for wisdom teeth removal include impaction, pain and crowding of the\nother teeth, which are typical tooth growth characteristics.\n\n"If wisdom teeth are not visible, they are impacted or unable to erupt due to space\nand size limitations," says Dr. Petty. "Impacted teeth don't have enough room to grow,\nand will lay beneath the gums, which may or may not be a problem." \n\nPain and tooth crowding are also top wisdom teeth problems. "Adults have forgotten\nwhat normal pain from a growing tooth feels like," says Dr. Petty. Complications also\ncan arise when wisdom teeth partially erupt. The broken gum acts as a breeding ground\nfor bacteria and germs. \n\n"When wisdom teeth partially erupt, food gets caught in the gums and may cause an\ninfection, swelling, growth of a tumor or cyst and pain," says Dr. Petty. "If this\nhappens, consult a dentist before problems worsen and affect overall oral health."\n\n"If wisdom teeth have erupted, the key to preserving them is maintaining good oral\nhealth by brushing twice a day and going to see a dentist twice a year," says\nDr. Petty.

How many electron pairs with principal quantum number n=3 can be accomodated in an atom?

n=3 means that there are s, p, and d shells involved.  The s shell can accomidate 2 electrons, the p, 6 and the d, 10, so a total of 18 electrons can be accommodated, so that's 9 pairs of electrons.


On the Simpsons, what state is Springfield in?

I believe this has been resolved.  (Northern) Kentucky to the best of my knowledge. (Although I agree with those that say "Anytown, U.S.A.") Many allusions and suggestions, but only one quirky episode states it explicitly.  \n\n"Behind the Laughter"\n1122 BABF17\nOriginal Airdate: 5/21/00\nA special behind-the-scenes look at the ups and downs of "the first family of American laughter." As the story unfolds, we learn of Homer Simpsons' humble beginnings and the demo tape that made him famous. Unable to get his videotape seen by any big time network execs, the family turns to FOX. The Simpsons quickly became an enormous hit, the future looking bright. But success comes at a great price and all the baggy pants in MC Hammer's old house can't save the family from themselves. Homer's addiction to painkillers, the tax problems, Bart's reckless behavior - it all spelled trouble for the show and the family. How did they ever pull through? With style and class. And a little help from their friends.

How can I get someone's address that has been deployed to Iraq?

The soldier can give it to you. Not trying to be hateful, but if the soldier doesn't give it to you personally, if I was in the position of giving it to you I would be concerned. I would be wondering why the troop didn't want you to have it in the first place.

Many students are surprised at the differences in studying for college courses versus how they studied in high school. Regular worksheets are replaced by vast midterms and exams which require knowledge about concepts rather than simple memorization of facts. Students frequently discover they need to adapt their study habits to the college setting. Here are some tips for getting started:\n\n    * Study in chunks: 20-50 minute time periods followed by a brief break (5-10 minutes) is the most effective way to study\n    * Use daylight hours: an hour of studying during the day is worth two at night! Do the work that requires the most concentration (typically reading) earliest in the day.\n    * Rank your three classes and be sure to spend time on your most challenging class everyday and early in the day.\n    * Study actively: ask yourself questions, review your notes regularly, discuss key concepts with peers and course professor \n\nWhere to Study:\n\nAlthough studying in a dorm room is convenient, it is often a poor place to learn. The dorm has a plethora of distractions including Blitzmail, Snood, the telephone, video games, friends down the hall. Lying down on the bed to read turns into an hour long nap and a bright yellow highlighter spot on your sheets!\n\nIf you want to improve your concentration and efficiency as a student, develop a place to study that is just that - a place where you go to work on academics. The campus is full of good spots to study. Experiment with what works best for you. The handout below provides a list of common study spots on campus and includes rankings of noise level, cleanliness, and availability.


What is the difference between AJAX and Microsoft Remote Scripting ?

Hi.\n\nMicrosoft Remote Scripting is similiar to AJAX, with the exception that it uses Microsoft technologies instead of the XMLHttpRequest.  Microsoft Remote Scripting earlier on was reliant on java applets to communicate with servers.  The are both methods of asynchronous remote scripting.\n\nAJAX is Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, and doesn't rely on any proprietary technologies -- simply using the XMLHttpRequest method and interacting with XML.

Should Y! have full reign to deny people their 1st amendment rights?

Remember that the 1st amendment only gives you protection from the Congress of the US enacting laws that interfere with your speech. Private entities (like Y! for instance) can do whatever the hell they please.\n\nI know it's infuriating. I grew up in a country where there was brutal suppression of speech of many kinds, and believe me, nothing makes you appreciate freedom like having seen what life is like without it. Nevertheless, those who own the bat and the ball  get to make the rules. If you don't like it, you're welcome to create an alternate forum where expression rights can be more to your liking.\n\nRemember, Y! is not in this business in order to promote freedom. They are in it to make $$$. And when the DOJ threatens, the risk-averse executives listen to their risk-averse lawyers and do what it takes to make their risk-averse investors happy.

If your current boyfriend refers to his ex a lot, does he still wish he was with her?

Not necessarily. I bring up my ex sometimes to people and its not that I am not over her because I totally am, but its just that most of his experiences in relationships(good or bad) may have been with her and that is all he knows. I know this be the case with me. I know I am over my ex because we still keep in contact and when she calls me or I call her I have nothing to talk about. Just lots of awkward silence. Ask him and see what he says. Have a heart to heart.


How do u feel about the verse in John(gospel) 3:16? and how did u find Jehovah Witnesses?Good or Bad?

THIS IS MY OPINION, NOT LEGAL ADVICE!!!!\n\nForeign nationals from poor countries are often denied visas under 214(b), intending immigrant.  Unlike in other areas of the law, applicants are considered guilty until proven innocent.\n\nYou must convice the visa officer that your life in Georgia is better than a potential life in America.  This is accomplished by showing close ties to your home country.\n\nYou should present evidence of the following things at your visa interview:\n1)  A letter from your employer indicating that you have a good job and are expected to return to your job after you return.\n2)  A copy of your bank statements showing that you have sufficient money to fund your trip.\n3)  A copy of your lease/mortgage showing that you have a home in Georgia that you can not leave.\n4)  Proof of a car.\n5)  Photos of you travelling in other developed countries.  For example, if you went to London on vacation and came back, you are more likely to return to Georgia after visiting New York.\n6)   A good reason to visit America.  I would say that you want to go to Las Vegas and Los Angeles.  Don't say: I want to stay at my cousin's house for three months.\n7) Luck.  Honestly, if your cousin lives in Chicago and the visa officer is from Chicago, you will have better luck.  I once went to a lecture by a visa officer.  He said that he once approved somebody because an applicant was planning on studying in America, but wanted to look at colleges first.  One of the five colleges listed, was the speakers small liberal arts college.  Because of that, the visa was granted.


What is the reason behind the creation of the FBI?

The FBI originated from a force of Special Agents created in 1908 by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte during the Presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt and Bonaparte both were "Progressives." They shared the conviction that efficiency and expertise, not political connections, should determine who could best serve in government. Theodore Roosevelt became President of the United States in 1901; four years later, he appointed Bonaparte to be Attorney General. In 1908, Bonaparte applied that Progressive philosophy to the Department of Justice by creating a corps of Special Agents. It had neither a name nor an officially designated leader other than the Attorney General. Yet, these former detectives and Secret Service men were the forerunners of the FBI.\n\nBy 1907, the Department of Justice most frequently called upon Secret Service "operatives" to conduct investigations. These men were well-trained, dedicated -- and expensive. Moreover, they reported not to the Attorney General, but to the Chief of the Secret Service. This situation frustrated Bonaparte, who wanted complete control of investigations under his jurisdiction. Congress provided the impetus for Bonaparte to acquire his own force. On May 27, 1908, it enacted a law preventing the Department of Justice from engaging Secret Service operatives.\n\nThe following month, Attorney General Bonaparte appointed a force of Special Agents within the Department of Justice. Accordingly, ten former Secret Service employees and a number of Department of Justice peonage (i.e., compulsory servitude) investigators became Special Agents of the Department of Justice. On July 26, 1908, Bonaparte ordered them to report to Chief Examiner Stanley W. Finch. This action is celebrated as the beginning of the FBI.

Are people that consume vegetables produced by illegal aliens evil?

You are the evil one for thinking this way! Not to mention ignorant; these people are just trying to make a living. A form of living you by no means would want to inquire. People have died in the fields. They work 16 hrs a day on temperatures above 90 degrees fahrenheit,just to bring you some fresh produce, and you try to deny them an over earned wage. You should be thinking on how we can get them to make more money. Not deprive them of a wage!


How can the social quagmire of abortion be resolved when only about 15% of elected offices are held by women?

While abortion obviously affects women's bodies, maybe that is only 15% of the issue?  Perhaps the other 85% are social, religious and scientific?  So the parts dedicated to women's reproductive rights aren't the major parts of the issue, but rather the unknown and arguable stuff that I just gave an 85% weight.

Should the government ever have the right to spy on it's own citizens?

The government should have the right to observe citizens. The NSA's mission is just that: to observe electronically criminal and terrorist interests. It is largely unlikely that a Big Brother society will develop as a result of this: the government will never have enough resources to listen in on everyone, nor would they want to. \n\nElectronic bugging has caught many criminals where standard investigations failed. These men include John Gotti, other Mafia dons, terrorists, and organized crime rings. It is an essential part of law enforcement and must continue.

what do you think of muslims and Islam ?

Islamic culture was superior to christian culture during the Middle Ages, but after that the western civilization got better and the muslims lagged and got mostly stuff in their dark ages.\n\nIslam per se is not as bad as people tend to think. Muslim fundamentalists don't represent the 'real' or mainstream islam. That would be like saying that the christian whackos who think the Bible is to be taken literal represent mainstream Christianity.\n\nMost muslim people are people like you and me who just want to quietly live their lives and care about their families.

what is titratable acidity, how is it formed in the kidney and excreted in the urine?

Titratable Acidity\nH+ is produced from CO2 and H2O (as in the proximal tubular cells) and actively transported into the distal tubular lumen via a H+-ATPase pump. Titratable acidity represents the H+ which is buffered mostly by phosphate which is present in significant concentration. Creatinine (pKa approx 5.0) may also contribute to TA. At the minimum urinary pH, it will account for some of the titratable acidity. If ketoacids are present, they also contribute to titratable acidity. In severe diabetic ketoacidosis, beta-hydroxybutyrate (pKa 4.8) is the major component of TA.\n\nThe TA can be measured in the urine from the amount of sodium hydroxide needed to titrate the urine pH back to 7.4 hence the name ‘titratable acidity’.

IF THE HOUSTON TEXANS GET THE #1 PICK IN NEXT YEARS NFL DRAFT, SHOULD THEY GET REGGIE BUSH?

Houston has a good young QB in Carr, a good your receiver in Johnson, and a good young RB in Davis. Logically, I would say trade down and build up the bigger needs at OL and defense in order to build a more complete team. However, Reggie Bush may be a once in a generation type of player and whatever team passes on him may be looked on historically as we do the Portland Trailblazers for passing on Michael Jordan.

will the seattle seahawks go the superbowl this year?

No, for two reasons:\n\n1. They're not as good as their overall record (11-2). They play in the uber-weak NFC West which means fat helpings of the Niners, Rams and Cardinals. Yum. They're 3-2 versus teams with winning records (and the Giants game really should have made that 2-3). So I don't think they're that much better than the Giants, Bears/Vikes, Bucs, Panthers, Falcons, Cowboys and Skins--doesn't mean they can't get there, I just don't think they're the overwhelming favorite that their record would indicate.\n\n2.) A lot of the time, teams reach the Conference Championship once and lose at least once before winning and going to the Super Bowl. It's not a lock, it's not certain (and it depends a lot on the competition), but look for the Seahawks to make it to the NFC Championship and lose to someone recently experienced in getting to the next level like the Bucs/Giants/Panthers.

Define BELIEF.What do you think of Athiests and Communists?Explain.?

Belief is just a kind of knowledge.  I'm an atheist and I believe in lots of things:  my children's love and the scientific method, for example.

Lenin and Stalin's terrible effects on the USSR shouldn't necessarily detract from our understanding of Marx's class analysis of society.  Any doubt about whether class exists as a powerful force in the US should have been thoroughly washed away by Hurricane Katrina.
