Is bell curving good for the overall rigor of a degree program?

Leaving philosophy out of this and just looking at the practical:\nThe very concept of the bell curve depends upon a very large number of measurements.  No class, no school, has enough students to fit the model.\nIn addition, the bell curve is based upon an unsorted group of measurements.  Students and grades are not unsorted.  For example, a college class only contain the members of the top say, 60 percent of the high school students.  Graduate students perhaps come from the top half of all college students.  In graduate school a C is as good (or bad) as failing.\nGrading is always subjective.  Statistical analysis of the grades in any one class compared to other classes of students can help the instructor make a more meaningful grading assignment, but should never be used as a “Cut into Stone” means for grading.


Im in love with this guy.and im not sure if his the one,we have less than a month together?

Falling in love with someone and only been in the realtionship less then a month. SLOW DOWN! One day at a time, get to know each other before the I love you's come out. I mean I believe in love at first sight, but i also believe in moving to fast. Just be careful. You'll know if hes the one after time passes


Is it common for a catholic to get married to a protestant or muslim in the USA? What  are the steps?

marrying a protestant is easy.  he/she just has to have been baptized and promise to raise the children in the Catholic faith.  Then it's just a matter of signing a paper.\n\nMarrying a Muslim may be more challenging.  I'm not really sure, but I think they may spend more time counseling to make sure you have really addressed where each of you are spiritually.


Is a company legally obligated to pay accrued vacation to a perso who quits or is laid off?

I would completely expect full vacation pay, there is no doubt. I wasn't sure about New Mexico, but I found the below URL (search for 'vacation' on the page) which suggested no vacation pay?\n\nSo I'm not really sure but I hope the link helps somehow


Has anyone been able to put meta description tags on their site with Yahoo Sitebuilder.  How?

The only thing I've been able to try with my site www.FilmXPress.biz was to re-edit the html each time you change something on your site builder page and submit.  It seems that once you submit with sitebuilder, that overrules your html edit and erases it, so you must re-enter.  I will update if I find any easier ways, please let me know if you do too.


Pol can fix a car in 9 hrs. while Jan can fix it in 6 hrs. How long will Pol have to work...?

In one hour Pol does 1/9 of the job and Jan 1/6 of the job.\nthen in 4 hours Pol has done 4/9 of the job.\nNow both has to work N hours to complete the job:\n1-4/9=N(1/9+1/6)\n5/9 =N(15/54)\n30=15N\nN=2\n\nPol should work 6 hours. (4 alone and 2 with Jan).\nYou can prove it:\nWork done by Pol alone + Work done by Pol with Jan's help + Work done bay Jan =1.\n4/9+2/9+2/6= 1


In solving problems, what is the unit used for friction?

It depends if it is acting as a Force or a Pressure (a distributed Force). If it is a force, it has units of N (Newtons, or kg m/s²) and if it is a pressure it has units of Pa (Pascals, or N/m² which is the same as kg/(m s²))


i want to teaching in school as math teacher,what is the method of cv,pleas give an example?

To get yourself noticed it is important to use a CV format which will best represent you in the jobs market. There are any number of ways of laying out a CV, but these can in fact be reduced to 5 basic examples:\nChronological CV (traditional approach - superseded by the Performance CV), Functional CV, Performance CV (an updated form of the \nChronological\nCV), Targeted CV and Alternative CV. Each of these formats has its\nadvantages and disadvantages (see below).\n\nIn general the Performance CV works best for most people, assuming that\nyou are staying in the same field. If this format is unsuitable for you\nthen you could try either the Functional or Targeted CV formats and see\nwhich reads/looks better for you. Even if you create a Performance CV\nfor yourself, there are times when a Functional/Targeted CV may help \nyou\nsecure an interview when a Performance CV would fail.\n\n\nPerformance CV\n\n\nIn a Performance CV\n your employment history is shown in reverse\nchronological order, with your most recent job first. Job titles and\ncompany names are strongly emphasised and duties and achievements are\ndescribed under each job title. You should use a Performance CV when \nyou\nare seeking a job which is directly in line with your past experiences\nor your last employer was a household name. The only difference between\na Chronological CV and a Performance CV is that the Performance CV\nhighlights a list of your major achievements near the start of your CV.\n\n\nAdvantages:\n\n\n1. If you are planning to stay in the same field/work area. \n2. If you want to show-off your promotions. \n3. If the name of your last employer is highly prestigious. \n4. Most people prefer this format to the other formats listed here\nbecause it is easy to see who you have worked for and what you did in\neach particular job. \n\n\nDisadvantages:\n\n\n1. If you are planning\n to change career direction. \n2. If you have frequently changed employer. \n3. If your work history has been patchy in recent years, either\nthrough unemployment, redundancy, self-employment, ill health, etc. \n4. If you do not have many achievements (you could just leave out\nthe achievements section as in a traditional Chronological CV) or your\nachievements are not in line with what you want to do now - either \nleave\nout the achievements section or consider using a Functional or Targeted\nCV. \n\n\nFunctional CV\n\n\nThis type of CV highlights the main functions/achievements of your \nwhole\ncareer and it can therefore be very useful if you have had a varied\ncareer or you are seeking a change of career direction. In this format,\njob titles and company names are given less dominance or even omitted \nin\nsome cases.\n\n\nAdvantages:\n\n\n1. If you want to emphasise abilities and achievements that have\nnot been used in\n your most recent job(s). \n2. If you are changing career direction. \n3. If you have had a large number of jobs and you would prefer to\ndescribe the experience you have gained in total. \n4. If you want to include voluntary/unpaid experience. \n5. If your work history has been patchy in recent years, either\nthrough unemployment, redundancy, self-employment, ill health, etc. \n\n\nDisadvantages:\n\n\n1. If you want to highlight promotions/career growth - you could\ninclude this sort of information on the second page of your CV, but it\nwould not be as prominent as on a Performance CV. \n2. If your most recent employer is highly prestigious, because\ntheir name will not be prominently displayed on the first page. You can\nget round this by putting their name in both the profile and cover\nletter. \n3. If your job has only a limited number of functions. \n4. Unusual CV format - may not be liked by everyone. \n\n\nTargeted\n CV\n\n\nThis type of CV emphasises your abilities and achievements which are\ndirectly relevant to a specific job target. It is best used when you \nare\nplanning a change of career direction.\n\n\nAdvantages:\n\n\n1. If you want to


what should i do, choose family or beloved one?

It's unfortunate if you are put in a position where it is necessary to choose.  The only way to weigh the question would be to see which side is forcing the choice:  I would favor the side that is not pressuring.  If you love someone that your family disapproves of, try to honestly hear their reasons why they disapprove, and evaluate those reasons as objectively as you possibly can.  If a loved one is trying to draw you away from your family, listen carefully there, too:  does your lover have reasons for feeling your family is not good for you, or is it just selfishness?


An induced nuclear fission event. A thermal (slow-moving) neutron is absorbed by the nucleus of a uranium-235 atom, which in turn splits into fast-moving lighter elements (fission products) and free neutrons. The particular elements and number of neutrons produced by each single fission event are random.Nuclear fission is a process in nuclear physics in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei as fission products, and usually some by-product particles. Hence, fission is a form of elemental transmutation. The by-products include free neutrons, photons usually in the form gamma rays, and other nuclear fragments such as beta particles and alpha particles. Fission of heavy elements is an exothermic reaction and can release substantial amounts of useful energy both as gamma rays and as kinetic energy of the fragments.\n\nNuclear fission is used to produce energy for nuclear power and to drive explosion of nuclear weapons. Fission is useful as a power source because some materials, called nuclear fuels, both generate neutrons as part of the fission process and also undergo triggered fission when impacted by a free neutron. Nuclear fuels can be part of a self-sustaining chain reaction that releases energy at a controlled rate in a nuclear reactor or a very rapid uncontrolled rate in a nuclear weapon.\n\nThe amount of free energy contained in nuclear fuel is millions of times the amount of energy contained in a similar mass of chemical fuel such as gasoline, making nuclear fission a very tempting source of energy; however, the waste products of nuclear fission are highly radioactive and remain so for millennia, giving rise to a nuclear waste problem. Concerns over nuclear waste accumulation and over the immense destructive potential of nuclear weapons counterbalance the desirable qualities of fission as an energy source, and give rise to intense ongoing political debate over nuclear power.

What percentage of the American public hates George Bush and his Republican't cronies?

Yes, it is the vocal minority that are still squealing their sour grapes about losing two consecutive elections. \n\nAll of you dems and libs better call your congressman and get them to make the tax cuts permanent. As much as you want to argue the fallacy, the tax cuts benefitted everyone. It floors me how Dems can go on TV and spew out arguments that completely fly in the face of facts and logic.\n\nThere was a great example of this today on Kudlow & Company, if anyone caught it. Kudlow and Steve Forbes were interviewing two Dems and two Republicans about the tax law debate. The STUPID dems kept arguing that the tax cuts should be repealed because we are running deficits. Steve Forbes kept reminding them that the tax cuts resulted in economic growth with a resulting 15% increase in tax revenue!!! Yet these two dems just kept jibjabbing along trying to talk over him. SQUAWKSQUAWKSQUAWK!

hi, i want to know the real date of the independent  day of us some people say it's 4 and other say 2   julay

By the middle of the 1700s, the 13 colonies that made up part of England's empire in the New World were finding it difficult to be ruled by a king 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. They were tired of the taxes imposed upon them. But independence was a gradual and painful process. The colonists could not forget that they were British citizens and that they owed allegiance to King George III. \n\nVirginia took the first step toward independence by voting to set up a committee to represent the colonies. The First Continental Congress met in September of 1774. They drew up a list of grievances against the crown which became the first draft of a document that would formally separate the colonies from England.\n\nThe unanimous Declaration of the thirteen (original) United States of America was drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776.\n\nIn Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 2, 1776, the Second Continental Congress presented & debated a second draft of the document. Independence Day is celebrated on July 4 because that is the day when the Continental Congress ADOPTED the FINAL draft. \n\nThe 'Declaration of Independence' served to "...publish and declare that [the United States] are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; and that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown."\n\nFrom July 8, 1776, until the next month, the document was read publicly and people celebrated whenever they heard it. The next year, in Philadelphia, bells rang and ships fired guns, candles and firecrackers were lighted.\n\nJohn Adams, a lawyer, the first Vice President and the Second President of the United States, was one of the members of the Second Continental Congress who signed the Declaration of Independence. He wrote to his wife, "I believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival... it ought to be celebrated by pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other..." \n\nThe new nation was officially recognized following the Treaty of Paris in 1783, and in that year, Independence Day was made an official holiday. In 1941, the U.S. Congress declared the 4th of July a federal holiday.

Why must we turn the control of our seaports to another country? What is next? Airports?

Just business.  If you believe in capitalism, this is it.  You cannot just support capitalism because the owners of the business are white American.  Our companies own many foreign companies.  Our oil companies work with many foreign countries.


what is a slice in computed tommography?

Imagine the body as a loaf of bread and you are looking at one end of the loaf. As you remove each slice of bread, you can see the entire surface of that slice from the crust to the center. The body is seen on CAT scan slices in a similar fashion from the skin to the central part of the body being examined. When these levels are further "added" together, a three-dimensional picture of an organ or abnormal body structure can be obtained.


are americans so lazy because of the mexican slavery we allow to take our crappy jobs?

In my opinion, American youth have a "superiority complex".. They feel like they're above accepting an entry level job that pays entry level wages.. \n\nThey have a lot of "authority issues" and don't want to take orders/directions from someone that may not have had as good of education as they did, but has put in the time and effort to achieve the position that they're in.. \n\nAlso, it's a demonstration of the "instant gratification" mentality that has been formed in the US society.. They want to be hired in as the President of the company without working with their "nose to the grindstone" like other people have done in the past.. \n\nThe "Keeping up with the Jones'/American Dream" brainwashing makes them want to be able to buy all the toys and clothes that their friends have.. They realize they can't do that on entry level wages, so they have the mentality that they're too good to take a low paying position. This allows people that are willing to, to come in and take all the 'crappy jobs'..

How wide spread do you think the problem of reverse discrimination against white people is?

Does anyone know where I can purchase a replacement contact lens with no prescriptionl.  Thank you.?

The last answer was absolutely right.  Legally, you cannot buy a contact lens without a prescription.  Contact lenses are medical devices that must be fit by an eye doctor, even if you've worn them before.  There is a reason that the prescription expires and that is essentially to make you see your eye doctor (so he/she can make sure that the contacts aren't damaging your eyes).


do you think that europian nation beleave that they live alone in this universe,so they behave like danish did

Since some of those cartoons were also published in an Egyptian paper months earlier (presumably to condemn them), then I guess the Danish aren't alone.\n\nBesides, Danish laws of free expression apply to people in Denmark. If you want the cartoons to be censored because of other peoples's laws, then you should be ready to accept outside judgments on your culture as well.\n\nAnd besides again, the protests are driven much more by local politics than the nature of the cartoon.


Are men discriminated against since they are only ones forced to sign for selective service ?

for starters, pipsy, i don't mean to single your answer out, but unless your going through marine boot camp, it's a joke.  being in the army right now, they are slacking now more than ever.  relaxing the regs on height and weight for startes.  make basic easier.  as far as women being in combat mos's, they can't. it's against the regs.  the closest they can come to being in a combat mos is being a medic and earning the combat medic badge.  however, the war in iraq is not a tradional war.  women are being faced with the chance of being in a firefight everytime they leave the wire in iraq.  anyone there faces the possiblity of killing or being killed.  should the draft ever come around, it is out sheer necessity to get boots on ground to fight the enemy head on.  meaning to be infantry.  personally, i don't my life to depend on how a female reacts to her period.  if she's cramping, she won't notice the sniper in the tree that kills 6 or 10 people.  i don't want my life to depend whether or not jessica lynch lays down her rifle sits down and cries because she got lost.  if the draft were to be flawless and put the men on the front lines to protect and fight, and put the women in combat support, then great make them register.  but just as soon as they do you'll have jackies registering as jacks and chrissies registering as chris and so on.  and no one would be the wiser til they got in country.  fix the system and then we'll talk, but until then no.

I thought I was the only one who bad spelling gets on my nerves!!!!!! I am not a Native English speaker, but I try to do my best when I speak and when I write. \n\nI know that many people just don't bother about writing correctly because they are in a hurry or maybe they think that nobody cares or that nobody will notice. \n\nEvery time I ask or answer a question here I double check for grammar and spelling because I don't want to be criticized for my bad English.\n\nIt is the same in Spanish, I just hate when people misspelled words. I am very strict on that subject. \n\nBy the way, if you find any grammar or spelling mistakes in this answer just remember that English is not my mother tongue. I learned it 5 years ago.

The term originally derives from Acts chapter 2 where the early Christians were gathered together on the day of Pentecost, and were baptized by fire in fulfillment of the prophecy given by Joel in the Old Testament.\n\nMany Christians believe that the supernatural ability to speak in other tongues is the evidence of baptism by fire (also called baptism in/with/by the Holy Spirit.) I do not believe there is enough scriptural evidence to fully support this (as being the ONLY evidence), but thought I should include it, as I think your question mentioned wanting to know the evidence. I think a greater evidence of this baptism is in the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) being manifested, and most importantly, in the ability to effectivly witness to the unique life, death and resurrection of Christ, and His transforming power in your own life.

Why are men always jelious and couldnt belive in women's pure,true,great love ?

I personally think he is being disloyal to you .  as far as why isnt he as intamite with poems ect anymore plain and simple he isnt that into you.  He still wants to keep you hanging on perhaps because you are a good catch therefore he doesnt want anyone else to have you.  when people are jealous they usually have something to feel guilty for.  Anything that starts out hot and heavy very quickly always ends quickly.  Although you dont want to hear it He isnt that into you I would advise you to drop him before he drops you.  Take your time and dont look for a quick fix they never work.

would it be wise if i put my money in a bank cd?

For anyone to tell you whether or not it is wise for you to invest in a CD is ridiculous without more information.\n\nAssuming you have other investments in your portfolio and are simply trying to decide how to invest the portion of your portfolio that you have already determined should be in cash equivalents, then CD's can be considered. It sounds like you want to retain a high degree of liquidity for this investment. If this is the case, consider the money market. Seek an institution that consistently offers great rates. Watch out for smaller banks that come out of nowhere with a sepcial or introductory rate. I use ING Direct, but I have heard good things about HSBC direct also.\n\nIf you have not done an asset allocation yet, do that first before deciding how conservative or aggressive to be. Speak with a financial planner in your area.


100 years in a century, but to answer the original question:\n\nA centipede's "leg-count" can range anywhere from 15 to 173, so any number between those two is typically valid. A centipede is typically divided into "segments", with one set of legs per segment.\n\nSo, if you're asking for the number of pairs of legs, it's from 15 to 73, but if it's for the total amount of legs, then it's anywhere from 30 to 146.

Why most of the people say its ok to sin?

God gave us a gift of choice - do the right thing or do the wrong thing, it's up to us to decide.  I don't think people say it is okay to sin, they just do it cuz they made the wrong choice.  Repenting is for the catholic religion, I am not catholic so I don't repent, I do ask for forgiveness (I guess that is a form of repenting) anyways - people will do what they want to do and how they want to do it - that is our God given choice.


The United States is still the hardest working population of all time. As long as we work as hard as we do, we have nothing to fear from competing economies.


The Human Genome Project found too FEW GENES, by 20%, did you know this ???

they thoguht they needed more genes to code for all the proteins we have, but what actually happens is in genes there are "junk" sections that code for nothing and are removed when copied, but what actually happens is that different cells spice the sections differently, picking to kepp some "junk"parts, makeing totally different proteins from the same gene. This is an explaination of why there are less genes than they thought, it is not an unexplained miracle

how can you lose a lot of weight like 100lbs in a yr?

try taboo\nWHAT to eat for losing weight\n\n• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.\n\n* Print these lists. They will be your ... "Bible", from now on !\n* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.\n* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)\n* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.\n\n\n• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)\n\n* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!\n* Avoid fat meat\n\n\n• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!\n\n• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits\n\n* Don't cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! \n* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!\n\n\n• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!\n\n* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.\n* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!\n* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). \n\nif u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs\n\n1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.\n\n2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.\n\n3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.\n\n4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.\n\nThat is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer \n\nKeep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours\nthe most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want\n\nyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com\n\ngood luck


yup. off and on for 15 years... now a full vegan with only occasional lapses with some really good organic cheese (oooh, gouda). \n\nbecause of health (good fats, no build up of mercury or mad cow disease) \n\nenvironmental degradation (eating meat requires 4000 gallons of water a day, vegetarians only consume 300 gallons... plus the loss of our ocean's fish due to overfishing, plus factory farms ....)\n\nand now, because i'm living with and in love with a professional ethicist, i've been persuaded that the animal rights issue is important as well. (it just doesn't make any sense to do to animals the things we do. just too disgusting and unnecessary.)\n\nyou'll get a bunch of answers about how humans are supposedly "not designed" to be vegetarians, but really, we weren't designed to ride in cars either, were we? and we REALLY weren't designed to eat poisonous food, become overweight, and poison our earth in the process.\n\nand BTW, i've never needed any kind of vitamins, and my doc says i'm on the best diet there is (mainstream, reg. doc too). i hardly think a cow was "born to be eaten." like all living things, it was born to live. (and die of old age.)

how do i get a topic for my economics dissertation(masters)?

A short algorithm follows:\n\n1. ask your advisor what he think's is interesting.\n2. ask your colleagues what do they think/heard is an interesting topic; they can also give you some hints about the feasibility of the topic (difficult, safe-path, etc),\n3. go and check similar programmes in economics on the internet, and locate lists of masters theses that are already submitted. Even from the title, you can get an idea of what is either fashionable or being done in other universities, probably better than yours.\n\nRegularly checking the workings of america's top universities in economics is a leading indicator.

What was the name if the government bureau that oversaw the newly freed slaves?

The Freedmans Bureau\n\nThe Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, popularly known as the Freedmen's Bureau, was an agency of the government of the United States that was formed to aid distressed refugees of the United States Civil War, including former slaves and poor white farmers. The Bureau also controlled confiscated lands or property in the former Confederate States, some border states, the District of Columbia and Indian Territory. The Bureau was established on March 3, 1865 by the United States Congress and administered by the United States Department of War, and headed by Union general Oliver O. Howard.\n\nIts main purpose was to help the newly-freed former slaves acquire a rudimentary education and an opportunity to learn job skills outside manual labor. Most importantly, it provided a base for political mobilization, which opponents strongly resented. It was one of the least popular of all Reconstruction measures and was one of the first to be abolished.\n\nHoward's loose interpretation of the legislation creating the Bureau allowed it to help blacks in many creative ways. However, the Freedmen's Bureau did come in for much criticism in the South. Many accused it of agitating Blacks against the former ruling white classes of the South. This led to anti-white violence where none had existed before. Bureau agents sometimes falsely promised Blacks that the plantation lands of their former owners would be divided up and given to them, if they voted Republican.\n\nThe Freedmen's Bureau was fully operational only from June 1865 through December 1868 and was disbanded in 1872

Basketball Rules -What exactly is a double dribble?

When you either have 1) dribbled the ball, stopped, and started dribbling again, or 2) dribbled with two hands at the same time. The first one, if performed, is kind of a cheat move, and the second one, I think was eliminated because it is a means of protecting the ball. There is another one rarely seen: 3) when one touches the ball, it is still in the air, they have let go, and it is touched again before hitting the floor.

Microsoft is very strict with their new licensing terms.\n\nYour copy of Win XP Pro is valid for a single or dual processor machine.\n\nMicrosoft has stated that the product is valid for one machine only. You cannot remove the product from one computer and install it on another. If you upgrade your processor and motherboard, your copy of XP is valid only for the previous components, and not your upgraded computer.

I would sell my TV and read a book.\n\nBut Springer is a constant reminder that no matter how bad my life may get, I can always rest comfortably knowing that I am NOT sleeping with my sister or my niece while living in a trailer park.\n\nDr. Phil would be a constant reminder that I, as a male, will NEVER be right in what I do.\n\nSo, if I had to choose one over the other, it would have to be Springer.  But I would still prefer to get rid of the TV and read.

How can I tell if my new husband is an alcoholic or if he just"enjoys" a few drinks nearly every night?

I am.  Been going to AA a year.  He is.  I was totally functional, never missed work, etc.  But drank almost every night.\n\nGuidance lies in the answer to the following question:  Why does he drink at all?  What is the negative part of life that he wishes to escape from or at least numb every night?  For me, it was simply the world.  (Too many mean people, too many corrupt politicians, too many wars, too much stress, too many idiots, etc.)  But when one considers the negative ramifications of drinking, especially on health, finances and relationships, it is truly better to live life sober on life's terms.  The problem is that sounds like a miserable proposition to an alcholic.  The truth, though, is after going to AA for a while, the laughter starts to come back, the peace of mind, the serenity.  Life becomes a joy again that doesn't need to be numbed every night.\n\nGood luck!


which actor has acted in  more movies that became sequals.?

I will quote from a website \n\nDoing a little more digging, I learned that William Boyd's Hopalong Cassidy series of B Westerns contained 66 titles, beginning with "Hop-Along Cassidy" (the spelling was later changed) in 1935 and ending with "False Paradise" in 1948 (they must have just kept cranking them out!). So, I guess you could say that "Hop-Along Cassidy" beats out "It's Tough to Be a Man" with 65 sequels. (The Bowery Boys series also includes some 50 titles.)

Why do people think they can get GOOD advice about love on YAHOO!ANSWERS? Why don't they ask their parents????

Most teenagers think their parents dont know anything. I suspect that people asking for such advice on here, arent really seeking advice; they are looking for connections. Additionally, no-one can accept advice from someone they dont know and cant make a proper judgement as to the quality of that advice. Advice is valuable only when it comes from someone you know and trust or from a professional in whom you have confidence. At best, they are looking for support for what they already think. But then thats why most people seek 'advice' anyway, isnt it?? :-)


They have some differences.\nYellow fever (also called yellow jack, black vomit, or sometimes American Plague) is an acute viral disease. It is still an important cause of hemorrhagic illness in several African and South American countries despite existence of an effective vaccine. In the past it was a source of several devastating epidemics. As of 2005, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that yellow fever causes 200,000 illnesses and 30,000 deaths every year in unvaccinated populations.\n\nThe disease is caused by an arbovirus of the family Flaviviridae, and is one of the smallest RNA viruses isolated by man.\n\nMalaria, derived from mala aria (Italian for "bad air") and formerly called ague or marsh fever in English, is an infectious disease which causes about 350-500 million infections with humans and approximately 1.3 million deaths annually, mainly in the tropics. Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 85% of these fatalities.[1]\n\nMalaria is caused by the protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium (of the phylum Apicomplexa), and the transmission vector for human malarial parasite is the female Anopheles mosquito. The P. falciparum variety of the parasite accounts for 80% of cases and 90% of deaths. Children under the age of five and pregnant women are the most vulnerable to the severe forms of malaria


How important is Ethenol as a new fual source?

Short answer: Not important; it will not even benefit farmers in the long run. \n\nUntil the US begins making ethanol from something other than corn, it is wasting more oil than it is saving, and only benefiting us by reducing URBAN air pollution. Since farmers use diesel and fertilizer made from natural gas, and ethanol plants use large quantities of natural gas in refining ethanol, there is a net loss of energy in US produced ethanol.  This is what a geoengineering professor at UC Berkeley found:\n"The fossil energy expended during production alone, he concluded, easily outweighs the consumable energy in the end product....."People tend to think of ethanol and see an endless cycle: corn is used to produce ethanol, ethanol is burned and gives off carbon dioxide, and corn uses the carbon dioxide as it grows," he said. "But that isn't the case. Fossil fuel actually drives the whole cycle.... "We are grasping at the solution that is by far the least efficient."\n\nAs long as we keep making it the way we do, it will not be a suitable alternative to gasoline, nor will it result in lower imports of oil for the US. \n\nThe other part of that problem is that if we turned the  ENTIRE annual US corn crop into ethanol to burn for automotive fuel, it would not last more than a few months of the year  based on our current fuel consumption.  We cannot grow enough corn to use ethanol as a complete substitute for gasoline. \n\nThe Brazilians have been much more efficient and use ethanol for a large percentage of their automotive fuel. They grow sugar cane and refine it using eucalyptus wood-fired refineries. Brazil's primary reason for this effort has been to improve their balance of trade by exporting oil rather than consuming it internally. In an interesting twist, Brazil may be able to export ethanol for less money than American farmers can produce it, and so the American farmers may soon find themselves with even more extra corn (and thus lower corn prices) due to adoption of ethanol. \nhttp://www.crystalsugar.com/media/news.archives/cargill.asp\nhttp://www.greencarcongress.com/2004/07/when_is_ethanol.html\n\nIt appears that making ethanol from corn not only will not solve our oil problems, it probably won't even be competitive without huge taxpayer subsidies to make it cheaper than imported sources of ethanol. It will continue to be added to gasoline in order to comply with EPA emissions rules, but that is the only real benefit. Everything else is just a waste of your tax dollars in my opinion.

where can I find out how much something is worth such as Elvis memorabilia and collectables?

Collectibles are only worth what someone will pay for them. \n\nFor example, I collect stamps and recently paid over $400 for an 1898 Columbian. So to me, the stamp is worth at least $400.\n\nNow, to you, it may seem ridiculous to pay $400 for a little tiny piece of paper measuring about 1 1/4" x 3/4". And I could see your point of view if you are not a serious stamp collector.\n\nTo determine how much something that I have is worth, I generally look on eBay. I look at several different auctions and take an average of the going prices. I have found that this is a very good way to gauge the value of MOST collectibles. Now, some are so rare that they should be handled through an auction house or specialty store. Most will be able to advise you of an items worth fairly accurately.

Do the people who make anti-virus software also create the bugs in the first place?

Some people speculate that they do, but believe me, they dont.  They have no need to pay people to make viruses as there are many people who will do it for free, ie black hat hackers and script kiddies.\n\nAll that the antivirus companies can be accused of doing that IS true is hyping up the virus threat.  The want it to seem like a virus is an extremely bad thing, which it is, but they put it in the media, not for public awareness, but to increase the purchases of their software.

Desribe the roles of velocity and mass in reference to kinetic friction.?

With a sliding mass on a level surface and subject to kinetic friction, the friction force is constant in magnitude and opposite the motion direction.  The force magnitude is the normal force (in this case = weight) times the coefficient of friction.  With constant friction force, the power required to maintain a given velocity is proportional to the velocity.  (Thus if a car were subject to friction but not to air resistance, it would use the same energy per mile regardless of speed.)  When the driving force is removed the sliding mass undergoes a constant deceleration to zero velocity.  A greater mass will have the same deceleration as a lesser one.\nSome structures that have potential vibration problems use friction dampers instead of (or as well as) the more conventional viscous dampers whose retarding force is approximately proportional to speed rather than constant.  Friction dampers have the advantage of removing a constant amplitude of vibration with each oscillation cycle, as compared wih viscous dampers that  approach zero amplitude asymptotically.  Why a constant amplitude decrement?  Energy is proportional to peak amplitude squared (X^2).  With friction damping, d(Energy) therefore d(X^2) is proportional to X, thus d(X) is constant.

Biologically speaking they lay eggs in spring because the increasing day length triggers the brain to release reproductive hormones. Those hormones cause the birds to mate, which of course leads to eggs.\n\nEvolutionarily birds lay eggs in spring because summer and autumn are the times of most abundant food: insects, fruit, nuts, mice and so forth. By laying eggs in spring the young birds start flying when there is the maximum  amount of food around. That way they have a few months to learn how to hunt, find berries and so on before it becomes difficult. By the time winter comes they have become proficient at finding food, so even though there is less food around in winter they have become so good at finding it they won’t starve. If eggs were laid in winter or autumn the young would be trying to learn how to find food when food is most scarce and they would almost certainly starve before they learned.\n\nThe abundance of food in spring and summer also make sit easier for the parents to find enough food to bring back to the nest.\n\nSome people will try to tell you that birds nest in spring because they can’t keep the eggs warm in winter. Of course this makes no sense because many penguins lay their eggs right at the very beginning of winter. They do that because the maximum amount of food available in the Antarctic occurs right at the very end of winter and start of spring. By laying their eggs at the beginning of winter the penguin chicks start swimming right when the maximum amount of food is available, just as other birds start flying just when the most food is around.


where can i find info on government grants from the us gov not a web site i have to pay for?

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

where are we today in the Left Behind Series?

That's a hard question to answer.  Christians are generally split when it comes to the teaching of the Rapture.  Some Christians interpret a verse in Thesselonians to mean that there will be a rapture, while others (myself included) believe that Christ will return one more time, and one more time only...and when that happens, that's it.  There will be no second chances.\n\nHowever, even those who believe that the Rapture will occur believe that it has not occurred yet.  So, therefore, a logical answer to your question is, we're somewhere BEFORE the beginning of Book One.

Please don't. You can certainly eat well, and cut out white sugar or +/or unhealthy carbs, but damn, you're pregnant! i am guessing that you chose to be a mom, and believe me, nough guilt goes with that title after their born that you don't need to be worrying that you hurt your baby because you needed to slim down. Nursing takes the pounds off!!! about 600 calories a day. that's pretty cool. I bet you can be " one hot momma" within 6 months of your baby's birth.


Can you speed up the cure rate of vary flex epoxy resin?

My C drive is FAT 32 - I am backing up files on an internal NTSC formated hard drive - any problem?

I believe NTSC is a standard video format for the United States, and has nothing to do with computer harddrives.\n\nFor a listing of current file systems and information on each, see my sources page below.\n\n'NTFS' is fully compatible with the older FAT32 file system. Windows XP supports both. Windows 2000/NT does as well.\n\nYou may have a problem using older versions of Windows (98, 95, 3.x) reading NTFS.\n\nThe latest versions of Linux are compatible with NTFS under certain conditions. Macintosh OS X 10.3 and later have read-only support for NTFS.


what about firewall and internet security?

A good firewall blocks all malicious communications and data (Inbound and Outbound data), and good anti-virus detects and prevents viruses ,so if you install firewall and antivirus you will be safe in the aspect of internet security.

What is the weirdest things people collect?


Which is more exciting: NBA basketball or NCAA basketball?

NBA are more exciting games because it is played at a higher level with greater athletes. \n\n     But March Madness is more exciting than the NBA Playoffs. In NBA its best of 7. \n\n     But in March Madness every game counts. You have one shot. You cant fall and get back up and make up for it. There is more upsets. Its all how you try in that one game. \n\n      In NBA PLayoffs if the Knicks beat the Pistons the Pistons would blow them out the next 4 games. \n  \n       It would be so cool if it was single elimination in the NBA.

What is a professional image? (definition)?

Here's my definition of a professional image.  It consists of business attire in addition to being well-spoken and educated on whatever it is you do for a living.  Image isn't confined to the tangible but also what one exudes, IMO.


confucius (551-479 BC) or kung-fu-zi was an ethical philosopher that (still) dominates  chinese moral values.\nhis defination of patriotism defines official moral and political doctrine since Han dynasty, until today.\n3 doctrines (or religions, if you consider buddhism & confucianism as religions) dominates chinese moral values until today : confucianism, buddhiam & taoism. these 3 doctrines interwoven each other so tightly, that even many chinese are confused. \nto answer your question, 'NO' is the answer. confucianism is not a religion, although some chinese pray to 'him' for luck in examinations *roll eyes*

what is the law in alabama on if a person can own a gun if they have been convicted of a felony?

First, I just wanted to clarify a previous answer which said that a felony is another word for federal, which is blatantly false. There are state felonies and federal felonies, and they are very different.\n\nNow, to answer your question, federal law does prohibit felons from owning firearms, as do most state laws, but there are ways to get relief from this and be able to regain the right to own a gun. If your conviction was federal, this can essentially only be done with a presidential pardon. If it was a state conviction, in Alabama, only felons convicted of committing or attempting to commit a "crime of violence" is prohibited from owning a pistol. Otherwise, state law does not seem to prohibit felons from owning guns.


do you think the religion board should be divided into two different sections?

David Crockett (David de Crocketagne August 17, 1786 – March 6, 1836) was an American folk-hero usually referred to as Davy Crockett. He represented Tennessee in the U.S. Congress, went to Texas, and died at the Alamo at age 49.


Weve been together for 4 yrs 2 kids.  We just now started living together 2 wks ago he says he isnt happy why?

It hurts when i have sex..what could it be?

If you don't have an STD, there's a chance you are experiencing dyspareunia, that is, a condition in which women experience pain during sexual intercourse. it's a rather common condition, and easily tratable. If you went to the doctor and there's no medical reason for your pain, it would be a good idea to talk to a psychologist or a psychiatrist, or some counselor with GOOD sexual education experience. Usually fears and embarrasment makes us feel pain when we shouldn't. Or maybe, you had some bad sexual experience before, and you're afraid to experience that again.\n\nDon't worry, with some professional help, you'll solve it in no time.


how do u help a friend that is trying to kill themself and its partially your fault?

That is indeed a hard situation to find yourself in. You should not (though I know it is hard) feel guilty for his feelings. It is not, as you put it, "partially your fault." He is having a difficult time dealing with his grief, and rather than handling it rationally, he is trying to control you with this guilt he is dishing out. No one can MAKE another person feel anything. You didn't make him like this...life will always come with pain and loss. And that is why we are supposed to learn how to grieve. I had a boyfriend who was very much like this guy seems to be. When I broke up with him, he even at one point threatened to kill me because he didn't want anyone else to have me. Ultimately, i had to break contact with him. Because it was the only way I could "force" him to get over me. He hated me for it, but I would rather him be alive and "hating me" than to have him kill himself. I don't know if this is the answer for you, but you are not alone. If you think his threats are serious, you probably should tell someone who is very close to him...parents or someone. And if he makes threats and you believe them to be true, call the police. Trust me, my therapists have done it to patients whose lives they believed to be in danger. It sucks for them, but it is really the better alternative of the two. They will take him to a hospital and they will try to help him through it. \n\nThings will be ok...even though they are rough right now. Hang in there!


Well everyone is in either good or great shape so they would look good in anything. I love the stuff that Lisa wears, but believe me, I'd never look like that! LOL!!!


Are Americans intimidated by assertive black men?

You say "assertive", I say "gun-toting radical looking to overthrow society violently".  But what's not to love about that?\n\nNo, I was refering specifically to Malcom X, since that was your specific reference.  But if you don't seem to understand what was wrong with Malcom X's behavior, and use him as your specific example, then pointing out what was wrong with his behavior seems like it answers the general question.\n\nI would say that no, people are no more intimidated by confident black men then other confident people (men or women), that they actually know and deal with.  If there is a feeling of intimidation, it really comes from a fear of violence, and that is usually in the case of people they don't actually know.  As yoda said, "Fear breeds anger, anger breeds hate."  That is why MLK was so effective.  He took the fear out of the equation by STANDING for NON-VIOLENCE.

What bad things are going to happen in the future ?

You're going to stub your toe on the leg of a table when you try to walk to the refrigerator in the dark.  In the middle of the night, you will get a cramp in your leg.

When you eat broccoli, a tiny floret will get stuck between your bicuspid and your first molar - it will take a flossing to get it out.\n\nThe white-meat turkey on that sandwich will be dry. Some mold will form on the surface of the strawberry jam that you haven't opened in six months.\n\nThe phone will ring; it will be a wrong number.\n\nThe future: run from it - it's scary.

what is global strategic appraisal if india attacks pakistan and how can india neuteralise pakistan's friends

That's a scary tought.\n\nI don't think such a question can be put under such a hypothesis, since both countries are nuclear powers AND both governments proved to be strong-headed.\nIn the event of open conflict I believe neither will concede defeat without first resorting to their nuclear arsenal (after all, Pakistan built its arsenal for this very purpose, to counter the Indian threat). If such was the case, I doubt the human race will live to see the next day.\nIndia can't neutralize Pakistan's friend, unless it gains that permanent seat with veto in the UN Security Council, but then India wouldn't need to invade Pakistan, that would be too stupid.

what is a partitioned hard drive and why would I want one and how would I use it?

The data on your hard drive is stored in a quite complicated structure. The largest block of this structure is a partition. It is an area of the physical disk, separated from the remaining disk space. There can be more partitions (separated areas) on one disk. The partitions are independent from each other and they appear as individual disks under Windows. Each partition can be formated to another file system(NTFS,FAT32...) and can be used completely separately (You can have more operating systems on more partitions.).\nMostly the disk is separated into two partitions, one for the OS and one for the data, but you can create as many partitions as you want to use them separately for storing different types of data.\nThe advantage of more partitions is that if you want to format one of them, you still maintain the data on the other one. Or you can put more operating systems on your PC by creating a partition for each OS.\nManaging partitions is quite easy. There are many programs to do this (one of them is even a part of the Windows installation).

Can psychotherapists cure  paralysis patients?

No.  Mental health professionals work with personality disorders and mental illness.  While psychiatrists are physicians as well as mental helath professionals (which allows them to prescribe medication) they do not and cannot heal mental retardation or paralysis.  Other therapists like LCSW's are not physicians and primarily treat a range of people, but not generally physical symptoms.  They see people who are grieving, people who are troubled, and the mentally ill.\n\nThere are psychosomatic sympotms like paralysis, where when there are no physical reasons for the paralysis, a mental health professional might be of assistance.
