The top three are usually listed as 1.) Yale, 2.) Harvard and 3.) Stanford.  The next tier is University of Chicago, New York University, and Columbia.  There's another eight which regularly make it in varying order into the top 14.  Then, there's the Top 25.  The top 50 make up the "Tier 1" schools with the next 50 making up "Tier 2." "Tier 3" is (drumroll here,) the next fifty.  At the bottom are the "Tier 4" schools which are left unranked so that no one will know what the worst law school in the country is (although the folks at jd2b.com unanamously think it is Cooley School of Law).\n\nThe rankings are based on the report put out by U.S. news.\n\nIf you want a shot at going to a "big firm" and making "biglaw money" (Think the character Mitch in "The Firm") you definately need to go to one of the top 25.  You'll be able to afford the loans you have to take out to go there.  \n\nIf you're thinking that you want to do public service law or if you don't think you can be in the top 25% at one of the top 25 schools, choose a low-cost alternative.  In many places, the state schools are affordable, but in California, Virginia and other places, the state schools are only marginally cheaper than the private schools.  If you score high on the LSAT (generally in the 80th percentile or better) you can often get a half- to full-tuition scholarship at one of the lower ranked schools.  You'll still be able to be a D.A. or a Public Defender and you'll be able to afford to pursue your dream when you are done.


Congratulations - the Howa 1500 is an excellant investment for the money. \n\nHowever..\n\nDo not tamper with the adjustment screws on the trigger assembly. The screws have been properly set and sealed at the factory.\n\nAny attempt to adjust ANY trigger can result in improper safety operation and should be done by a qualified gunsmith.\n\nIf I recall some Howa 1500's were recalled for a modification to solve improper bolt replacement. You should take it to a qualified gunsmith anyway to determine if your serial number falls in the recall.


can/should I buy a fixer-upper, in poor hood, w/poor credit b/c I'm sick of renting? I'm a contracter.

Sounds good to me. Start talking to a bank or a reputable mortgage broker. Let them tell you how much they will finance and put down as little as possible. Keep looking for a house. Remember location is very important. Keep an eye on the neighborhood you are looking for a house and see how long it takes for a house to be sold. Also find out from a Realtor, how much the house price has gone up since last year on average. When people look at the house, they estimate the fair value based on square footage. In that sense, fixer-upper with larger square footage than typical neighbor houses would be a good one. Cul-de-sac is also  nice. Avoid houses on busy street. \n\nKitchen and bathroom remodeling is a must. A hard wood floor in even one room make it an upgrade. Estimate the material cost and add it to the house cost. That what you need to sell the house for to get the money back. Extra will be your profit. See if that's a reasonable expectation. Also don't forget, when you sell the house let's say in a year or two, you need to pay 6 % (more or less) to a Realtor unless you sell without one (which may be difficult). So, you need to add that to your cost, too. Good Luck.

how can I set up two monitors using win xp?

Install a second Windows XP compatible video card and monitor.  Right click anywhere on the desktop where there isn't an icon and select properties. Click the settings tab.  Here you will find where to setup the second monitor.\nIt is important you use a Windows XP compatible video card. I did it using a video card out of an old computer.  My computer started having problems with random lockups.  I installed a new video card and everything now works great.


Why? There are many girls you can find that are free.


A man escapes from prison where he has been for 15 years. He breaks out into a house to look for money and a gun and finds a young couple in the bed. \n\nHe orders the guy out of the bed and ties him to a chair, while tying the girl to the bed he gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom. While he's in there, the husband tells his wife: \n\n"Listen, this guy's an escaped convict, look at his clothes! He probably spent lots of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain, do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is probably very dangerous. If he gets angry he'll kill us. Be strong, honey. I love you." \n\nTo which his wife responds: "He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me he was gay, thought you were cute, and asked me if we had any vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong, honey. I love you too!!"

What type of political system is in India?


yes.  some people have special dietary needs, like diabetics who need to eat at scheduled times.  also, hunger can be distracting, causing students to be less able to focus on their studies.  lunch at school shouldn't be required but it certainly should be available.  for some students from low income families their school lunch is the only meal they get all day. i also think breakfast should be available, but that wasn't really your question.

When Prince Charles comes to the throne, what will his title be?

When Prince Charles becomes King he can choose to be known by any name that he wishes. Should he choose to keep the name Charles he would be King Charles III.\n\nSo his official title would be: Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith\n\nHowever, Prince Charles has discussed rejecting the title King Charles III because of its associations with Britain's bloody past. His decision would not be a first, as four of the past six British Monarchs chose to be known by a different name. For example, George VI was known as Prince Albert. At the moment, the most discussed alternative has been George VII, in honour of Charles's grandfather.


How can you tell when someone likes you as more than a friend?

i smoke and drink too much.  I am working on quitting both.  How do I get my husband to join me?

You can't. You cannot make someone else change something about themselves, especially if they don't want to. You can only change something about yourself - with difficulty. Please don't think it is your responsibility to make sure that your husband makes it. You can only sort out yourself. Far be it for me to cite organisations but check out an Al-Anon meeting if you can. They can show you some signposts. It is up to you how you choose to follow them. Take care of yourself. Best of luck with your own recovery.

what % of people is male and what % is female out of the worlds population.?

I don't know the exact percentage, but a percentage I use is the old 60-40.\n\n60% of the people in the United States are women\n40% of the people in the United States are men\n\nI use the same calculation for the world too, because men die off sooner then women for many reason.  Some of the reasons are, women have the good cholesterol and men have the bad.  More men die in wars than women.  More men goes to prison than women, which sometimes results to death.  More men ends up walking through dangerous areas of a city than women, which ends up in death.   Women usually tries to avoid dangerous places and if they have to go through the dangerous areas of a city, they end up with a group of women.  A lot more men are alone and has no friends.  Most women has friends, so they can help protect each other.  Since men has fewer or no friends, suicides deaths and just plain deaths are higher.\n\nJust remember, there isn't a higher chance of having a female baby than having a male baby.   You have the same chance 50-50.  Most people don't believe this, they believe that they're a higher chance of having a female baby than male, but not true.  Just more males end up not living as long for the reason I listed above and many more reasons.

How to find a 95% confidence interval for sample proportion p (sample size =5) without normal approximation??

For n = 5? Seriously?\n\nIt is not clear what you are asking.\n\nSuppose that:\n\n1. Your model is of a sequence of independent Bernoulli trials each of which succeeds with probability p.\n\n2. Your null hypothesis H0 is p = 0.3\n\n3. Your alternative hypothesis H1 is p is not 0.3.\n\n4. You plan to observe 5 trials with the intent of accepting or rejecting the null hypothesis with 95% confidence.\n\nThen from p + q = 1 (i.e., q = 1 - p) and 1^5 = (p+q)^5 = p^5 + 5p^4q + 10p^3q^2 + 10p^2q^3 + 5pq^4 + q^5 you know that the probabilities are\n\n5 successes in 5 trials: p^5 = 0.3^5 = 0.00243\n4 succeses in 5 trials: 0.02835\n3 successes: 0.13230\n2 successes: 0.30870\n1 success: 0.36015\n0 successes: 0.16807\n\ni.e., 5 or 4 successes occur <= 5% of the time so you accept H0 on 3 or fewer successes and reject H0 on 4 or 5 successes.\n\nAnother interpretation of your question:\n\nSuppose your model is of independent identical Bernoulli trials each with unknown probability p of success and you would like to estimate p from observing the outcomes of 5 independent trials.  Given k out of 5 successes as the observed outcome for which p can we say that "k" or "k or fewer" or "k or more" successes out of 5 has probability <= 5% of being observed (that is three different questions by the way).  For each of k = 0, 1, ..., 5 you plot the probability of that outcome given p and exclude those p for which the plot drops to 5% or less.

What was/were the temptation(s) of Christ?

Hope this inspires your research.\n\nLuke 4\nThe Temptation of Jesus \n    1Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, 2where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. \n\n    3The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread." \n\n    4Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone.'[a]" \n\n    5The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. 6And he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. 7So if you worship me, it will all be yours." \n\n    8Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'[b]" \n\n    9The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down from here. 10For it is written: \n   " 'He will command his angels concerning you \n      to guard you carefully; \n    11they will lift you up in their hands, \n      so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'[c]" \n\n    12Jesus answered, "It says: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'[d]" \n\n    13When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.


Lewis and clark information...NEEDED NOW AND DESPERATELY?

I wouldn't say they discovered these but they did encounter the Mississippi River, Missouri River, Columbia River, Pacific Ocean (I think the Great Salt Lake).  Land Masses?

They were looking for the Northwest Passage: a waterway from the east coast to the west coast but alas they had to travel on some land.


Can anyone please explain to me how it is any less insulting to humans to have been created?

I would say that a Creator would be insulting.  For one, (S)He invented the insult.  For another thing, (S)He made life so very miserable.  As the Monty Python song goes:\n\n"All things dull and ugly,\nAll creatures short and squat,\nAll things rude and nasty,\nThe Lord God made the lot.\n\nEach little snake that poisons,\nEach little wasp that stings,\nHe made their brutish venom.\nHe made their horrid wings.\n\nAll things sick and cancerous,\nAll evil great and small,\nAll things foul and dangerous,\nThe Lord God made them all.\n\nEach nasty little hornet,\nEach beastly little squid--\nWho made the spikey urchin?\nWho made the sharks? He did!\n\nAll things scabbed and ulcerous,\nAll pox both great and small,\nPutrid, foul and gangrenous,\nThe Lord God made them all.\n\nAmen." \n\nAnd if monotheism is right, God made the devil too.

why do I have so many tears on windy and cold weather or when I am scared???

there may be exessive production of tear or decreased tear drainage, if your docs who have seen an examined you say it is the second problem, you may need to do surgery to dilate it. you canal is enough for the basal amount of tear and fails to drain only when the tear is secreted more than normal times, so it shouldn't be that much tight, i think you will not need a big surgery, and will have good outcome,good luck!

They are really the insecure ones.  when people pick on others its to keep people from looking to closely at them.


Why do so many liberals drive imported cars?

I'm an independent, but I bought a Honda Insight in 2000 because I was concerned about America's addition to oil (still am).  The Big 3 did not make a fuel efficient car anywhere near comparable.  Last year in May, we traded in the Saturn SW1 station wagon for a 2005 Prius, again because Detroit did not produce what we felt was appropriate to mitigate the fuel crunch crisis.\n\nIt will likely be a few more years before Detroit comes around; they made the choice themselves, even asking Bush to kill the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles program, where they had produced prototypes of family cars that achieved over 70 mpg.  But they wouldn't make as high a profit margin as SUVs, so the Big 3 continued their role as pushers for the growing ranks of addicts. Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham said Monday, April 9, 2001 that seven years into the partnership, its ``direction is inconsistent with where the market is headed and where the automakers are headed.''

You make fireworks by taking something that burns in a special way, fast, slow, or with lots of sparks in a certain color.\n\nWrap it with paper, or sometimes aluminum foil, to control how and when it burns (a firecracker should be one big, quick burn, but a sparkler needs a long steady burn with lots of sparks.\n\nI would study chemistry, which helps a lot in learning how to make things blow up in particular ways.  For example, pouring sugar in to sulfuric acid makes a show much better than the "snakes" in a fireworks kit.  A little pure sodium in water gives a great show too, but wear your safety goggles.

How do we know that Yahoo isn't selling off all these questions for some secret research project?

I think Yahoo is making money off from this. It's all part of marketing tricks. Concept here is interaction and free apply of individual thoughts and advertise accordingly. If you go to Q&A search and type certain word... let's say "sex" for test. It would show all the Q&A related to "sex" as well as advertise on right side. So basically Yahoo is trying to increase it's exposure for more income.


How many years past before "anno domini"?

The calendar goes from 1 BC to AD 1 (there is no zero year).  The Birth of Jesus was probably around 6 BC - here is a long winded explaination of why I think this:\n\nThe Bible puts the birth of Jesus:\n\n(1) Before the death of King Herod [Luke 1.5]; ) Josephus records that Herod died in April of 4 BC.[ However Chuck Missler quotes anothersource which gives the death of King Herod as January 14, 1 B.C. (Magillath Ta'anith, an ancient Jewish scroll contemporary with Jesus.) ] The magi came to Herod and told him when they had seen the star of Christ in the East. Herod wanting to protect his royal line had all males in Bethlehem under two-year old killed. (Matthew 2.1) a The Joseph family fled in time and took refuge in Egypt. They returned after the death of Herod from Egypt. Assuming the death of Herod as 4 BC the birth of Christ could be placed between 6 and 5 BC. \n\n(2) Since the reason for Joseph and Mary to make the trip from Nazareth to Bethlehem was the Roman Census,(Luke 2.3-7) if we could identify the time when this was done in Palestine we could pin point the birth of Jeus. Luke 2.1-2 identifies a census taken throughout the Roman Empire during the reign of Caesar Augustus, by Cyrenius (also Quirinius) when he was governor of Syria. .However there is no historical record of this particular census in the annuls of Rome. Since the Roman Empire was very vast census was spread over several years and this particular census must have been any of the earlier orders. The first century historian Josephus records that Cyrenius did conduct a census in BC 6/7. During the Roman census of Judea in 6 BC [Luke 2.2]; Quirinius was the governor of Judea which was during the period 6-9 BC. We also know that he performed a taxation census in 6 BC.\n\n(3) Luke 3.23 states that 'At the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius as emperor of Rome Jesus was about thirty years' old . This would place the birth of Jesus at about 2 BC . Tiberius became emperor in 14 AD. The statement "about thirty" do not allow us much accuracy. We cannot actually pin point the year. Jesus could well have been 33 or 34. The only condition for holding any priestly office was that one should be over thirty. This is what Luke was referring to.\n\nChuck Missler (http://www.joshuanet.org/articles/born.htm) on the other hand places the year of birth as 2 BC on following grounds:\n\n(5) Tertullian, (born about 160 A.D.) stated that Augustus began to rule 41 years before the birth of Jesus and died 15 years after that event. Augustus' died on August 19, 14 A.D., placing Jesus' birth before 2. B.C. Tertullian also notes that Jesus was born 28 years after the death of Cleopatra in 30 B.C., which gives a date of 2 B.C. \n\n(6)Iraneus, born about a century after Jesus, also notes that the Lord was born in the 41st year of the reign of Augustus. Since Augustus began his reign in the autumn of 43 B.C., this also appears to substantiate the birth in 2 B.C. \n\n(7)Eusebius (264-340 A.D.), the "Father of Church History," ascribes it to the 42nd year of the reign of Augustus and the 28th from the subjection of Egypt on the death of Anthony and Cleopatra. The 42nd year of Augustus ran from the autumn of 2 B.C. to the autumn of 1 B.C. The subjugation of Egypt into the Roman Empire occurred in the autumn of 30 B.C. The 28th year extended from the autumn of 3 B.C. to the autumn of 2 B.C. the only date that would meet both of these constraints would be the autumn of 2 B.C.


The Green Revolution is the increase in food production stemming from the improved genetic strains of wheat, rice, maize and other cereals in the 1960s developed by Dr Norman Borlaug and others under the sponsorship of the Rockefeller Foundation and other organizations. This increased the crop yield in India, Pakistan, Philippines, Mexico, Sri Lanka and other underdeveloped countries, preventing large scale famine.\n\nMore recently, the Green Revolution has faced criticism by environmentalists promoting integrated farming or organic farming techniques\n\n\nThe techniques introduced to the developing world by the Green Revolution are, roughly:\nExtensive use of chemical fertilizers \nIrrigation\nUse of heavy machinery\nPesticides and herbicides

Lowest Temperature\nA record low temperature of -89.2°C (-128.6°F) was registered at Vostok, Antarctica, on July 21, 1983. That's over 100°C below normal room temperature! It's cold comfort to the international team manning a scientific station based at Vostok. They are studying Lake Vostok, which is submerged under 5 km (3 miles) of ice, holding information about hundreds of thousands of years of our natural history.


What should I do now that I am graduating from college with an English major?

Journalism\n\nTake classes (for teaching credential) while you work as an aide or teacher in elementary/middle school(try private schools because they don't always require credential)\n\nIf you like young children, work as a preschool aide and take classes for early childhood education in community colleges(cheaper than universities).

Clean Flicks purchases movies on tape, and then edits out all the sex, violence, and "bad" language before renting them out to customers. The rental chain is seeking a court declaration that its practices are perfectly legal - and not a violation of federal copyright law, as the directors reportedly believe.\n\nThe chain has emphasized its First Amendment rights. But the government is not a party to the case, as is generally required under the First Amendment; it is the directors, not the state, who the chain anticipates will try to stop its editing practices. Accordingly, the chain's best defense probably does not come directly from the First Amendment. Rather, it derives from the First-Amendment-inspired "fair use" exception to the copyright law, and similar exceptions to related laws under which the directors can sue.\n\nUnsurprisingly, The Directors' Guild of America believes that what Clean Flicks is doing is far from "fair use." Indeed, it has decried the suit as an effort "to legitimize the unauthorized editing and alteration of movies."\n\nWhich side is correct? Does Clean Flicks have the right to edit properly purchased movies as it sees fit, before renting them out? Or does a director have the right to ensure that a movie remains edited in the ways he or she has approved?\n\nPut another way, what Clean Flicks is doing may be anathema from an artistic point of view (I certainly believe that to be the case), but is it also illegal? I will argue that the legal question is much more difficult than it may seem at first, because Clean Flicks's practices resemble many long-accepted examples of "fair use" in important ways.\n\nThe Directors, Studios, and Actors Have Strong Legal Claims\n\nSince the DGA has not yet filed a countersuit, it is not clear exactly which claims it will bring against Clean Flicks. But it has already raised a number of possible bases for a suit, several of which appear to be strong.\n\nFirst, the DGA can argue that Clean Flicks' business amounts to an ongoing violation of copyright laws. By editing out content from certain movies before renting them out, Clean Flicks arguably exceeds its license to use the copyrighted movies it had purchased.\n\nSecond, the DGA can argue that Clean Flicks, in marketing its edited films, violates trademarks. Phrases such as the studio's name, or a certain tag line used to promote the movie on the video box, are trademarked, and Clean Flicks is arguably using them deceptively if it connects them with a movie edited to be substantially different from the one the studio made.

What religion observes the Sabbath from dusk on Friday to dusk on Saturday?

Judaism and Seventh-day Adventists. And yes, Seventh-day Adventists restrain from work on Sabbath, using that day for studying the word of God, getting closer to Him, their families and friends. I think Baptists of the Seventh Day also observe the Sabbath – I apologize if this is not the right name of your denomination. Also, I hope there are many, many people who do not fall into denominations and do not go to church, but have realized the truth about this matter by reading their bibles. Blessed they all be and all those who continue to search. \nThere is not a single verse in the bible which can confirm that Sunday substituted Sabbath. Romans, who were pagans and worshiped many gods, considered 6th day as the most important day, as it was the day of Sun (Lucifer uses this name to hide himself – observe: Lux in the Latin means the light – in this case false). When Constantine accepted Christianity, he compromised a lot, not having accepted all the truth from Bible and not being true Christian at all. At first, people observed both Sunday and Sabbath (that’s the origin of the weekend), without understanding the meaning of Sabbath and breaking God’s law, because, you will remember, God said that we shall WORK on six days and observe the seventh. Later, Sunday seemed to be more important, cause, to Romans god of Sun was more important that than the true God, Jesus Christ. When the Christianity started to spread to other countries, Sunday had been already established as the day of worshipping and the truth about Sabbath was less and less visible. But it never died. It was burning in the hearts of men who wanted to be loyal to God 100%. \nThanks for asking this question and read bible for more info.\nP.S. \nAs I was typing this answer, my pc restarted all of sudden without any (visible) cause. I am sorry, but the truth will be revealed.\nanother P.S. \nI will copy/paste something from Plato's answer:\n"It is also interesting to note that even today, in many historically predominant Catholic countries throughout Europe, all calendars begin with Monday and end with Sunday in order to make Sunday both the Christian day of worship and the seventh Day of the week".


here you go:\n\nhttp://www.faulkner.edu/admin/websites/cwarmack/paradisewebsite.ppt\n\nit's a power point that has what you need.\n\nAlso:\n\n\nParadiso\nAfter an initial ascension (Canto I), Beatrice guides Dante Pilgrim through the nine spheres of Heaven. These are concentric and spherical, similar to Aristotelian and Ptolemaic cosmology. The addition of a moral dimension means that a soul that has reached Paradise stops at the level applicable to it. The nine spheres are:\n\nFirst Sphere: The moon - those who abandoned their vows (Cantos II through V). \nSecond Sphere: Mercury - those who did good out of a desire for fame (Cantos V through VII). \nThird Sphere: Venus - those who did good out of love (Cantos VIII and XIX). \nFourth Sphere: The sun - souls of the wise (Cantos X through XIV). \nFifth Sphere: Mars - those who fought for Christianity (Cantos XIV through XVIII). \nSixth Sphere: Jupiter - those who personified justice (Cantos XVIII through XX). \nSeventh Sphere: Saturn - the contemplative (Cantos XXI and XXII). \nEighth Sphere: The fixed stars - the blessed (Cantos XXII through XXVII). Here, Dante is tested on faith by Saint Peter, hope by Saint James, and love by Saint John the Evangelist. \nNinth Sphere: The Primum Mobile ("Prime Mover") - angels (Cantos XXVII through XXIX). \n \nDante and Beatrice gaze upon the highest Heaven; from Gustave Doré's illustrations to the Divine Comedy Paradiso Canto 31Beatrice leaves Dante with Saint Bernard who prays to Mary on behalf of Dante and Dante is allowed to see both Jesus and Mary. From here, Dante ascends to a substance beyond physical existence, called the Empyrean Heaven (Cantos XXX through XXXIII). Here he comes face-to-face with God Himself, and is granted understanding of the Divine and of human nature.

Anyone have any thoughts on working/living in Paulding or Fulton County Georgia?


FTP stands for file transfer protocol. It is one of the oldest ways of transfering files on a computer. \n\nFTP is not used much any more except by web hosting companies. The only reason hosting companies still use FTP is that Microsoft still insists on not including SSH/SCP with Windows and most Windows users don't know about SSH/SCP. \n\nThe reasons why nobody uses FTP if they can help it are. First it transfers your user name and password in the clear. That means anybody who is between you and the FTP user and or the site you are connecting to with FTP can get your user name and password just by listening.  FTP has no real error correction and it has no compression. So it is slower and far less reliable. \n\nUsing SCP for file transfers is as easy as using FTP. SCP however uses encryption for user names and passwords. SCP has better error correction and has compression. So it is more reliable, more secure and faster than FTP. \n\nAll you need to run FTP or host SCP file transfers is a server and to open the appropriate port in your firewall. \nFor SSH/SCP it is 22. For FTP it is 20 and 21. You want to support both active and passive FTP. \n\nThe difference between Active and Passive FTP is which end opens the second connection. In all FTP connections first the client contacts the server and tells them that they want to connect by FTP. Next in Active FTP the server will open a second port back to the client for the actual file transfer while Passive FTP the client is who opens this port to put it in a simplified way. I've included a link with a good deffinition on the difference between active and passive FTP. \n\nI strongly recomend using SSH/SCP rather than FTP. I've included links for SSH/SCP rather than FTP. I've also included a link to WinSCP which is an excellent client for both FTP and SCP transfers. \n\nIf you use Linux, FreeBSD, Unix or a Mac(and installed the sys utils) you already have an FTP server installed on your machine. You only need to configure your firewall. With the Mac you'll have to download SSH I believe. Other than that the other OS's come with SSH already installed.

Data from 51 studies showed a 20% decrease in heart disease risk when 0 to 2 alcoholic drinks were consumed per day, and light to moderate alcohol consumption was associated with an approximately 20% reduction in (ischemic) stroke risk. Some studies showed up to a 32% heart disease risk reduction while others showed no such beneficial effect, leading researchers to surmise that factors such as diet, exercise, or socioeconomic status might have been at work. However, red wine's chemical composition (alcohol and polyphenolic compounds, such as flavonoids and resveratrol) appears to help maintain healthy blood vessels. Regular alcohol consumption also appears to increase good (HDL) cholesterol by about 12%, and to carry away the bad (LDL) cholesterol so that it doesn't deposit itself in the blood vessels. In addition, those who consume light to moderate alcohol have less of the proteins that encourage blood clots to form. In spite of all this evidence, the researchers concluded that the evidence is still insufficient as light alcohol consumption has also been frequently shown to contribute to cardiovascular disorders and recommending alcohol use is risky due to other alcohol-related health concerns. The American Heart Association recommends discussing this with your physician.   The effect of alcohol on the brain is also being studied. A newly-released study of more than 11,000 nurses that was led by Harvard Medical School researchers definitively linked alcohol consumption and the brain with their finding that one drink or less per day prevents cognitive decline in women. Presumably, the same would apply to men, but requires further study.

what causes wives in the sea, and why do u not get waves in a lake?

Wives in the sea occur when people's wives jump or fall into the water.\n\nYou usually don't get waves on a lake because the bodies of water are too small to be effected tidally and the water is not dense enough to swell with the wind - though on the Great Lakes, we DO get waves.


how do venous pressures compare to arterial pressures? Why?

Sounds like a job for Wikipedia!\n\nBlood pressure is the pressure of the blood on the walls of the blood vessels as the heart squirts it through the circulatory system.   When your blood first leaves the pump (your heart) it's moving as fast as it's going to, and there's as much pressure in the system as there's going to be.  The farther from the heart you go, the less the pressure in the system (just like an irrigation system, or the plumbing in a house.)\n\nThe heart not only has to pump the blood out to where it's needed, it has to pump it back again, to run it through the lungs to pick up some more oxygen so it can be recirculated.  Blood pressure is much lower on the return trip, when the blood is way out there far from the pump.  The outbound system is your arteries, the return trip is your veins.  \n\nMostly when you measure blood pressure, it's the pressure in the big arteries that are close to the skin and easy to find without poking any holes (the brachial artery in the arm is an example). \n\nThe traditional way to measure blood pressure is in millimetres of mercury (mm Hg), and you always state it the same way so everyone knows what you're talking about.  From a medical point of view what you're interested in is how much pressure there is in the system when the heart isn't squirting new blood into it (at the "resting" phase or "bottom" of the heartbeat cycle) which is called the diastolic pressure; and then how much pressure there is in the system at the top of the cycle, when your heart is forcing new blood into your arteries, which is called the systolic pressure.  So the "top of the cycle" number goes on top, and the "bottom of the cycle" number goes on the bottom.  A typical reading for a resting, healthy adult is around 120/80 (meaning 120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic)\n\nHope this is what you needed!

sometimes being different is a sign of strength and character, because it takes more guts to be an individual than a carbon copy.  If you look in history, all the greats were individuals, not carbon copies. they stood out because of their differences... if you look at the differences this way, you will see, greatness comes with being different.  stand your ground, don't be a carbon copy, you are destined for greatness.

Here is a method I used once to get rid of a legitimate debt that I owed. You may be ablet to adapt this and use it for yourself. \n\nI owed a $485 bill to AT&T that I refused to pay until they took down a cell phone tower that had been illegally erected right next to someone's back yard. Of course they ignored me, so I ignored them right back and things went round and round for a few years like that. finally the debt was sold to a collection agency and then to another one and finally to one in Florida. Up to this point none of them had reported it to any of the credit bureaus. Suddenly one day, there it was! A festering puss-filled sore right in the middle of my credit report! I immediately wrote a letter to the collection agency saying that the debt was not mine, that this was an old debt (by now it was over five years) that was being shopped around until they could stick it on somebody. I told them this was very damaging to my credit, that I had no other late payments, and I demanded they remove it immediately. Also, I said, at the time this debt was incurred there had been two other people living in the same county as me with exactly the same name as me, and it must have belonged to one of them. Again I demanded that they remove this thing from my credit report. About two weeks later I got a very apologetic letter from them saying how sorry they were for the mistake and yes it would be removed from my credit report immediately. It was and I never heard from anyone about this again.\n\n"Hell no," said Tom. "I'm not paying this. You can take this bill and shove it!"


Does anyone know anything about Narcolepsy?

Symptoms of narcolepsy\n\nThe main characteristic of narcolepsy is overwhelming excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), even after adequate nighttime sleep. A person with narcolepsy is likely to become drowsy or to fall asleep, often at inappropriate times and places. Daytime naps may occur with or without warning and may be irresistible. These naps can occur several times a day. These naps are typically refreshing, but only for up to a couple hours. Drowsiness may persist for prolonged periods of time. In addition, night-time sleep may be fragmented with frequent wakenings.\n\nFour other classic symptoms of narcolepsy, which may not occur in all patients, are:\n\n    * Cataplexy: sudden episodes of loss of muscle function, ranging from slight weakness (such as limpness at the neck or knees, sagging facial muscles, or inability to speak clearly) to complete body collapse. Episodes may be triggered by sudden emotional reactions such as laughter, anger, surprise, or fear, and may last from a few seconds to several minutes. The person remains conscious throughout the episode.\n\n    * Sleep paralysis: temporary inability to talk or move when waking up. It may last a few seconds to minutes. Often frightening but not dangerous.\n\n    * Hypnagogic hallucinations: vivid, often frightening, dream-like experiences that occur while dozing, falling asleep and/or while awakening.\n\n    * Automatic behavior: Automatic behavior occurs when a person continues to function (talking, putting things away, etc.) during sleep episodes, but awakens with no memory of performing such activities. It is estimated that up to 40 percent of people with narcolepsy experience automatic behavior during sleep episodes.\n\n\nDaytime sleepiness, sleep paralysis, and hypnagogic hallucinations also occur in people who do not have narcolepsy, more frequently in people who are suffering from extreme lack of sleep. Cataplexy is generally considered to be unique to narcolepsy.\n\nIn most cases, the first symptom of narcolepsy to appear is excessive and overwhelming daytime sleepiness. The other symptoms may begin alone or in combination months or years after the onset of the daytime naps. There are wide variations in the development, severity, and order of appearance of cataplexy, sleep paralysis, and hypnagogic hallucinations in individuals. Only about 20 to 25 percent of people with narcolepsy experience all four symptoms. The excessive daytime sleepiness generally persists throughout life, but sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations may not.\n\nThe symptoms of narcolepsy, especially the excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy, often become severe enough to cause serious disruptions in a person's social, personal, and professional lives and severely limit activities.\n\nWhat happens in narcolepsy\n\nNormally, when an individual is awake, brain waves show a regular rhythm. When a person first falls asleep, the brain waves become slower and less regular. This sleep state is called non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. After about an hour and a half of NREM sleep, the brain waves begin to show a more active pattern again. This sleep state, called rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, is when most dreaming occurs.\n\nIn narcolepsy, the order and length of NREM and REM sleep periods are disturbed, with REM sleep occurring at sleep onset instead of after a period of NREM sleep. Thus, narcolepsy is a disorder in which REM sleep appears at an abnormal time. Also, some of the aspects of REM sleep that normally occur only during sleep--lack of muscular control, sleep paralysis, and vivid dreams--occur at other times in people with narcolepsy. For example, the lack of muscular control can occur during wakefulness in a cataplexy episode. Sleep paralysis and vivid dreams can occur while falling asleep or waking up.\n\nIn narcolepsy, the brain does not pass through the normal stages of dozing and deep sleep but goes directly into (and out of) rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.


HI,\n please go through these and think twice you will get the answer....\n\n1.Article:Why Do I Fight With My Parents So Much?\n\nThe clothes you wear. The food you eat. The color of your bedroom walls. Where you go and how you get there. The people you hang with. What time you go to bed.\n\nWhat do these things have in common, you're asking? They're just a few examples of the many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child. As a kid, you didn't have a say in very much that went on; your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal you ate in the morning to the pajamas you wore at night. And it's a good thing, too - kids need this kind of protection and assistance, because they aren't mature enough to take care of themselves and make careful decisions on their own.\n\nBut eventually, kids grow up and become teens. And part of being a teen is developing your own identity - one that is separate from the identities of your parents. It's totally normal for teens to create their own opinions, thoughts, and values about life; it's what prepares them for adulthood.\n\nBut as you change and grow into this new person who makes his or her own decisions, your parents may have a difficult time adjusting. They aren't used to the new you yet - they only know you as the kid who had everything decided for you and didn't mind.\n\nIn most families, it's this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. You want to cover your walls with posters; they don't understand why you don't like your Sesame Street wallpaper anymore. You think it's OK to hang at the mall every day after school; they would rather that you play a sport. Clashes like these are very common between teens and parents - teens get angry because they feel parents don't respect them and aren't giving them space to do what they like, and parents get angry because they aren't used to not being in control.\n\nIt's easy for feelings to get very hurt when there are conflicts like these. And more complicated issues - like the types of friends you have or your attitudes about sex and partying - can cause even bigger arguments, because your parents will always be intent on protecting you and keeping you safe, no matter how old you are.\n\nThe good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teen has a right to certain opinions and an identity that may be different from theirs. It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, concentrate on communicating with your parents as best you can.\n\nSometimes this can feel impossible - like they just don't see your point of view and never will. But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents, and you may be able to reach compromises that make everyone happy. For example, if you are willing to clean your room in order to stay out an hour later, both you and your parents walk away with a good deal. Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you're going through.\n\nReviewed by: Jennifer Shroff Pendley, PhD\n\n\nThen  as your duty do do these things to ur parents\n\nListen Better, Learn More\nIn one of the Family Circus cartoon strips, the little girl looks up at her father, who is reading the newspaper, and says: "Daddy, you have to listen to me with your eyes as well as your ears."

WHERE CAN I FIND MOLECULAR WEIGHT AND DENCITY OF sOME MOLECULES?


My apartment building no longer has a resident manager. Can I report this somewhere?

In California, you can have an off-site manager for an apartment complex of any size.  But if the complex is 16 or more units, that person needs to have a Ca. Real Estate salesperson license.  If you feel that the 'neglect' of the complex is an issue, report it to the California Department of Real Estate (DRE)- go to www.dre.ca.gov\nYou can get the phone numbers to the area office for your county, and a bunch of other helpful stuff. \n(I have a degree in real estate and escrow- i should know!)\n\nYour landlord has a responsibility to you and all other tennants of the building to guarantee 'quiet enjoyment of dwelling spaces in possession of the tennant'... That's the law.

Does eating six small meals a day help jump start metabolism?

The only way to increase metabolism is by building up muscle mass, which you’re doing through weight training. You won't be able to increase your metabolism dramatically, but even burning an extra 50 calories each day can add up over time. \nSome people find that eating five or six small meals a day helps to limit hunger and, therefore, calorie intake. Our bodies store any excess calories as fat, so it makes sense not to overeat. \n\nMost of us want to lose weight quickly, but in reality most people lose weight slowly, shedding approximately one or two pounds each month. Instead of expecting rapid weight loss, focus on small goals that are behaviour-related, such as increasing the number of miles you walk and the amount of fruit you eat each day, but decreasing the number of times you eat for emotional reasons instead of hunger. If you make gradual changes like these, the weight will come off in time. Just be patient!

how and why software’s should be created in a more personal environment?

Some methods are more personal than others. My favorite is Extreme Programming, also called XP. It's personal on several levels. The two that come to mind immediately...\n\n1) Paired programming. No one is coding by themselves, but always with a partner.\n\n2) Customer involvement. The client is present for the software development and has dialog with the developers, not just the tech support staff, and is thus able to offer input, not just waiting for the final product.

Why do people sometimes like to abuse animals?

It's one of the way for them to channel their anger. they sometimes imagine the animal is a person that had done damage to them when they abuse the animal the imagine that that they hit the person they were angry at. this type of person have to take anger management class or they can solve it them selves by trying to find other way to channel their anger maybe by buying a sand bag to his on it carrying heavy object helps to reduse the level of anger in a person.\nand also this person have to have support from their love ones.\nother reason this person have the tendency of feeling superior when they hurt animals. they think there is no other way for them to feel strong and by abusing animal it makes them feel strong.

In order to protect the environment new programs and higher taxes are necessary. Agree or Disagree?

disagree. fine those who ruin the environment use that money to give tax breaks to clean companies and business.


No. The reason why I'm here and answering this question is because I did things in my past that I regret or even hated. These things that we have been hating and want to get back at or rewind are the reasons we are who we are today. \n\nIf ever we regret the fact that we are who we are, it is the same thing as regreting what we chose before. Because if you ever wanted to undo the bad things that occured to you, there is no way to redo the good things, or even bring back the times after you changed your fate.

how do i make more friends thru yahoo messenger?


Ok guys, when a woman says she is taken why do you continue to pursue???

Because by current societal conventions, boyfriends are temporary until a marriage contract has been finalized.  Therefore, a boyfriend doesn't mean "no."  Your saying "no" should mean "no."  Your saying "I have a boyfriend" is the equivalent of saying, "I have a boyfriend... for now."

This guy is one messed up creep.  He lied about you too.  That is unforgivable.  Even if you had done it, him telling people is unforgivable.  You need to tell him in no uncertain terms to leave you alone or you will get a restraining order and follow through.  Start documenting the harrassment, you will need it to get the restraining order.  If you have to, you can add call block to your phone and block his number and everytime he calls from a new number hang up and immediately block that too and don't forget to document it for the courts.  This guy is sick.


what are common arguments for selling over the counter controceptives to minors?

Condoms are not illegal to sell to minors...I don't quite see why selling to minors should be an issue because they are taking precautions that many adults do not. I understand that under age individuals should not be involved in any sexual activities but this is reality so it should be accepted.

What would you have to do if you need 2million dollars for a new house and your a kid?

There are countless ways to reach $2 million, but each would require substantial investment (either initially or over time) or interest or other increases in your investment which are many times the normal return.  An interesting rule to compute how your investment increases is the rule of 72.  Your investment money doubles in accordance with the rule of 72.  An example is, it takes 7.2 years for money to double if it is earning 10% interest (7.2x10=72).  If you are only earning 6% interest then it will take 12 years for your money to double (6x12=72).

what is the speciality of bermuda triangle?

common belief that a number of ships and airplanes have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances in this region, the United States Coast Guard and others disagree with that assessment, citing statistics demonstrating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily traveled region of the world. Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon close examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.\n\nThe triangle is an arbitrary shape, crudely marking out a corridor of the Atlantic, stretching northward from the West Indies, along the North American seaboard, as far as the Carolinas. In the Age of Sail, ships returning to Europe from parts south would sail north to the Carolinas, then turn east for Europe, taking advantage of the prevailing wind direction across the North Atlantic. Even with the development of steam and internal-combustion engines, a great deal more shipping traffic was (and still is) found nearer the US coastline than towards the empty centre of the Atlantic. The Triangle also loosely conforms with the course of the Gulf Stream as it leaves the West Indies, and has always been an area of volatile weather. The combination of distinctly heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather meant that a certain, also distinctly large, number of vessels would founder in storms. Given the historical limitations of communications technology, most of those ships that sank without survivors would disappear without a trace. The advent of wireless communications, radar, and satellite navigation meant that the unexplained disappearances largely ceased at some point in the 20th Century. The occasional vessel still sinks, but rarely without a trace. It should be noted that both the concept and the name of the Bermuda Triangle date only to the 1960s, and were the products of an American journalist.

Will dilute Baking soda and Dilute vinegar react slower ?

yes, reaction rates are based on several things, concentration and temperature are the most important, because of the water added to the reaction, it will be less "likely" that a vinegar molecule will collide with a baking soda molecule, because of this the reaction will go slower. the way to calculate this is K = [Products]/[reactants].  Where [] is the concentration of each solute present (in moles per liter), and K is the constant value for this perticular reaction, which can be found in a chemistry text book.

Who of you would support the fact our House and Senate must be larger?

No, I would not because of the electoral college system.  The electoral college system already skews democratic votes into a system that favors smaller states (the "Great" compromise).  As such, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the Virgin Islands would then complicate an already skews the system for electing national representatives.  Thus, you would have to come up with a way the electoral college handles US territories with representatives. \n\nMoreover, the constitutional makes clear that senators can be no fewer than 2 and must come from a state.  Thus, the only way to limit them (assuming that they become a state) to 1 senator is to amend the constitution.\n\nHowever, keep up the big thinking as it is the only way improvement happens.  As Bobby Kennedy used to say, "Some people see things as they are and say 'why'.  I dream things that never were and ask 'why not'."


why do poeple hate hispanics or latinos,why do they want us gone?

i have stones in my vesicle how bad is that? do i need a surgery?

Sounds to me that you are asking about bladder stones.\n\n"ve·si·ca  =  A bladder, especially the urinary bladder or the gallbladder."\n\nhttp://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/vesica\n\nMost bladder stones are expelled or can be removed without permanent damage to the bladder. They may recur if the underlying cause is not corrected.\nIf the stones are left untreated they may cause permanent damage to the bladder or kidneys.\nDrinking 6 to 8 glasses of water or more per day, enough to increase urinary output, may help the stones pass.\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001275.htm\n\nTraditional herbal remedies for bladder stones include celery seed and horsetail. Also, because incomplete bladder emptying may cause bladder stones, many patients may benefit from methods and remedies aimed at improving overall bladder function. These include Kegel exercises, which are used to strengthen the muscles involved in urination; herbal supplements (cornsilk, hydrangea, juniper berries, parsley, and uva ursi) used to increase urine flow and flush out sediment from the bladder; and, the consumption of cranberry juice and/or fresh, unsweetened, lemon juice. Cranberry juice helps to control urinary tract infection and contains a chemical that coats the walls of the bladder, making them more resistant to infection. Lemon juice helps to flush out the urinary system.\n\nhttp://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/bladder_stones.jsp

Its A Burning Question :\n\nThe US Congress passed a resolution in October 2002 that authorized military force to enforce UN sanctions and "defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq." \n\nOn 20 March 2003, the United States launched a war against Iraq, with President Bush saying the attack was to "disarm Iraq and to free its people"; 250,000 United States troops were supported by approximately 45,000 British, 2,000 Australian and 200 Polish combat forces. \n\nThe US State Department released this list of the "coalition of the willing": Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan and the United States. \n\nOn 1 May, aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and under a "Mission Accomplished" banner, the President said, "Major combat operations have ended; in the battle of iraq, the US and her allies have prevailed... We've removed an ally of al Qaida." Fighting continues; there is no scheduled departure of US troops. \n\nThe Iraqi Interim Government (IIG) assumed authority for governing Iraq on June 28, 2004. Elections are scheduled for January 2005. \n\nWhereas the first Gulf War was measured in days, this second has been measured in months. Fewer than 200 US military were killed in the first war; more than 1,000 have been killed in the second. Congress has appropriated $151 billion for the war effort.

What do you do when you're just tired of life.?

I've felt that way before and I doubt if the answer is the same for everyone.  The first thing I do is take time to be thankful for all that I have.  For all those things that seem so mundane to me, but realize that there are millions of people out there that would kill to have a tenth of the life I have.  Then I take time to remember, that life is a long road and there are always going to be stretches that are as boring as driving across western Kansas but you have to push yourself through that to make it to those things in life that make it all worth while like driving into the mountains in Colorado.

why can't people beat their kidds anymore ? kids need a good butt whoopin every once in awhile !!?

ahhhh  kurtrisser the ignorant...\n\nanyways there is a big difference between beating and punishing.  I believe in spankings.. but you can not do it out of anger.  That is when abuse is likely to happen.  You need to go and cool off and send the kid to their room.  Then when you are not upset go in for the punishment.  That way the kid has to sit there waiting and wondering.. that is punishment in itself.
