4,704	1Science & Mathematics	what is the speed of darkness?		Darkness is the absence of light, although earlier in history it was sometimes viewed as a substance in its own right. \nLooking at this definition, if we were to define what is "speed of light", it would be the speed at which light is leaving a point. And the speed at which light can travel through any point is the constant 'c' used to define the speed of light. \n\nThe speed of light in a vacuum is defined to be exactly 299,792,458 metres per second (or 1,079,252,848.8 km/h, which is approximately 186,282.397 miles per second, or 670,616,629.4 miles per hour).\n\nSpeed of Dark is a Book\nHere's the detail's\nThe Speed of Dark\nElizabeth Moon\nBallantine Books, $23.95, 340 pages, ISBN:03454475570

Particularly, its origins in Latin and the Romantic languages, Anglo-Saxon, and the differences between British, American, and even Australian English.
4,709	8Family & Relationships	is it right or wrong for me to be mad?	my g/f spent all week with me and told me she would hang out with me friday... but on friday gose to a dance with friends....i asked her why would u tell me that u would hang out with me on friday, she respones to this by saying ...i hung out with u all week... how should i feel about this??	Ok you need to look at the fact that she went back on her word. Now it may be true that she spent the week with you but all she had to do was call you & inform you that she was going to the dance. Talk to her. Explain that you just want her to respect you that is all. Now dont be mad, calm down. If she does it again, start looking for a replacement...
4,710	6Business & Finance	Will LookSmart stock (LOOK) appreciate in 2006?	I am invested in the stock but am interested if anyone has insight into the company's future.	Doubt it. It is rated as one of the lowest stocks according to investors.com. LOOK is not profitable and has been dropping the last 5 yrs. \n\nIn the last 17 trading days, there has been 10 down days on higher than average volume. This shows weakness in the stock.\n\nIt would be more of a gamble to hold the stock. There are a lot of better stocks out there.\n\nI would dump and put my money in something else.

4,716	5Sports	Why did Johnny Damon switch to the Yankees?		The why in this question is simply more money. Not the fact of personal issues or difficulty, but money. Johnny probably won' be able to spend the money made with the Sox, yet he wants more and more. Money is more important to him than loyalty or committment. It is a shame but he reflects the same lack of value as do many other Americans. Did the Sox reduce what he agreed on when he first signed on? No. Does he want more money? Yes. Does he need it for quality of life? No. I am ashamed of him. It is sad indeed.
4,717	4Computers & Internet	do you suspect that the people using "am i hot or not" kind of sites have psychological problems?		I think there are many reasons that people use those silly sites like that. \n\n1) Pure Boredom: They are bored one day and decide to upload a photo just to see what kind of reaction they will get. \n\n2) They KNOW they are good looking (or at least think they know) and they want the show the whole world.\n\n3) They are not sure if they are that hot or not, so they want some ego boosts. \n\n4) They feel like they are very unattractive, so they just want to confirm then go wallow in self pity when they get low scores.\n\n5) People can actually get in contact with other members so maybe they use it as a dating service. \n\n6)Their friends do it so they do too!! \n\n No, I don't think that it means the psychological problems. Although, I am sure there ARE people on that site that do...just like any other site for that matter.

Try your soundcard/computer(if its integrated) manufacturers website, they might have rports of this problem.\n3. Try Google or Yahoo searching for the details of your problem, odds are someone else has had it if your Laptop is stock. \n\nTo answer this question we would need details like, what kind of notebook, XP Pro or Home, SP 1 or 2, what kind of soundcard etc...

4,722	4Computers & Internet	Is Your Computer Slow?	What do you think is making it slow?	In fact any computer nowadays is fast as you don't ever need - unless you're gaming, 3D design, video encoding and so on...\n\nThe question is if the computer is optimized. This means, with the given software and hardware configuration, is the computer as fast as it normally should be.\n\nA system free of virus, spyware and hardware faults can still be slow. The important thing is where the processing speed is going. If you have a 500Mhz pc for example, you shouldn't run WindowsXP with full graphical details. As long as you can figure out where you processor speed is going, and you manage it to point towards you primary task, you'll be just fine.
4,723	2Health	Why are scars itchy when they're healing?		It's part of the healing process. Itching is a result of the nerve endings around the scar being stimulated. At first, the stimulation is part of the healing. Itching may last months or years afterwards, though, as the scar tissue stretches and again stimulates the surrounding nerve endings.

"Rubber is an elastic hydrocarbon polymer which occurs as a milky emulsion (known as latex) in the sap of a number of plants but can also be produced synthetically. The major commercial source of natural latex used to create rubber is the Para rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis (Euphorbiaceae). This is largely because it responds to wounding by producing more latex. Other plants containing latex include figs (Ficus elastica), euphorbias, and the common dandelion."\n\nMore at source link.

4,738	1Science & Mathematics	How does global warming affect weather?	There has been news that the recent floods in south India, the hurricane's in the US are due to global warming. But to my understanding, global warming increases the average suface temperature of earth...How does it change the climate?	Though it may sound crazy, global warming can cause an Ice Age. You see, there's an underwater wall keeping the super-cold water of the Arctic Ocean out of the a lot warmer water of the Alantic Ocean. Global warming makes this wall dissolve, letting the cold water meet the warmer water, overall lowering the temperature of the oceans. Meanwhile, the glaciers start to melt and slide. Now that the oceans aren't as warm, the glacierscan continue to move south and cover a chunk of the Northern Hemisphere in ice. In short, an ice age.\n\nHowever, ice cores are showing that global warming isn't as bad as we thought. the ice cores show that the average global temperature 100,000 years ago would go up and down by 10 degrees in a matter of decades. In comparison, our global warming is warming at a rate of 1 degree per century. Is global warming going to cause the next Ice Age? Or are threats empty? YOu decide.

4,742	2Health	are chiropractors real doctors?		Doctors of Chiropractic receive extensive, demanding professional education on par with medical doctors (MDs) and osteopaths (DOs).\nTo receive the doctor of chiropractic degree, candidates must complete extensive undergraduate prerequisites and four years of graduate-level instruction and internship at an accredited chiropractic institution. Comprehensive knowledge of all systems of the body and diagnostic procedures enable the DC to thoroughly evaluate a patient, address disorders relating to the spine and determine the need for referral to another health care provider.\n\nDoctors of Chiropractic are primary health care providers.\nAccording to the Center for Studies in Health Policy, "The DC can provide all three levels of primary care interventions and therefore is a primary care provider, as are MDs and DOs. The doctor of chiropractic is a gatekeeper to the health care system and an independent practitioner who provides primary care services. The DC's office is a direct access portal of entry to the full scope of service."\n\nDoctors of Chiropractic are licensed in all 50 states.\nDCs have been licensed and recognized for many decades in all states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.\n\nChiropractic is recognized by governmental health care programs.\nChiropractic is included in Medicare, Medicaid, Federal Employees Health Care Benefits Programs, Federal Workers' Compensation and all state workers' compensation programs. Chiropractic students are qualified to receive federal student loan assistance and DCs are authorized to be commissioned as health care officers in the U.S. Armed Forces.\n\nThe practice of chiropractic is based on sound scientific principles.\nThe existence of the nervous system as the primary control mechanism of the body is an undisputed scientific fact. Its relationship with the spine is the focus of the practice of chiropractic. The spine develops in utero to provide two primary functions: (1) allow for freedom of movement and (2) house and protect the spinal cord. When the vertebrae of the spine become misaligned through trauma or repetitive injury, two major consequences will result: (1) the range of motion becomes limited and (2) spinal nerves emerging from the spinal cord are compromised. DCs use the term "subluxation" to describe such disruptions. Interruption of nerve flow can eventually lead to pain, disability, and an overall decrease in the quality of life. Conversely, the removal of that interference has been shown to have significant, lasting health benefits. Through the adjustment of the subluxation, the doctor of chiropractic endeavors to restore normal nerve expression. The body is then able to respond appropriately to any imbalance in the system, thus relieving symptoms and restoring health.\n\nDoctors of chiropractic provide effective, low-cost health care for a wide range of conditions.\nStudies conducted according to the highest scientific standards and published by organizations not affiliated in any way with chiropractic institutions or associations continue to show the clinical appropriateness and effectiveness of chiropractic care. One of the most recent, funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health, stated emphatically that:\n\n"On the evidence, particularly the most scientifically valid clinical studies, spinal manipulation applied by chiropractors is shown to be more effective than alternative treatments for low back pain...There would be highly significant cost savings if more management of low back pain was transferred from physician to chiropractors."\n\nThe doctor of chiropractic is an effective source of preventative and wellness care.\nThe anatomical focus of the DC on the human spine has created the perception of the DC as just a "back doctor." Although this perception is not entirely incorrect, it is very much incomplete. Doctors of chiropractic are a highly appropriate resource in matters of work-place safety, st

4,744	2Health	What are the odds of a man catching HIV while having unprotected sex (oral and vaginally)?	What are the odds of a man catching HIV while having unprotected sex (oral and vaginally) with a woman who is HIV positive or AIDS. How do those odds change over time? In other words, one sexual encounter versus multiple?	The following numbers are old, and they're all pretty much guesswork anyway, so take them with a grain of salt. But I venture to say most people in the field would agree with my conclusions.\n\nAccording to a report by researchers Norman Hearst and Stephen Hulley in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the odds of a heterosexual becoming infected with AIDS after one episode of penile-vaginal intercourse with someone in a non-high-risk group without a condom are one in 5 million. With a condom it's even safer--one in 50 million. Just to put this in perspective, the chances of someone in your family getting injured next year in a bubble bath are 1 in 1.3 million (source: The Odds on Virtually Everything, Heron House, 1980). You're in much greater danger of being struck by lightning (1 in 600,000), having your house bombed (1 in 290,000), or being murdered (1 in 11,000).\n\nThe numbers get a lot worse if you engage in "high-risk behavior"--having sexual intercourse or sharing needles with a member of a high-risk group, e.g., a gay or bisexual male or IV drug user from a major metro area, or a hemophiliac. The chances of getting AIDS from one such encounter range as high as 1 in 10,000 using a condom to 1 in 1,000 unprotected. Even if your partner tests negative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the chances of infection from a high-risk person are still relatively high--1 in 50,000 without a condom. That's because there's a 45 to 90 day window during which a newly infected person can infect others but test negative. (A few people go as long as 180 days.)\n\nFrom there on out, statistically speaking, things deteriorate pretty fast. If your partner is HIV-positive, your chances of getting AIDS after one night are 1 in 5,000 with a condom, 1 in 500 without. Have sex with an HIV-positive partner 500 times using condoms and your chances escalate to 1 in 11. Skip the gift wrap and they're 2 in 3.\n\nA couple points: These odds apply equally to men and women. Although there's reason to believe male-to-female AIDS transmission happens more often than female-to-male, the amount of difference is unknown. Also, I have to emphasize again, the numbers involve a lot of guesswork. The authors admit they could be off by a factor of ten in either direction. Still, one message comes through loud and clear: by far the best thing you can do to avoid AIDS is to be picky about your partners. Use of condoms reduces your risk by a factor of 10, sleeping only with people who test negative reduces it by a factor of 5 to 50, but avoiding high-risk partners reduces it by a factor of 5,000. (You'd also be well advised to avoid high-risk behavior, such as unprotected receptive anal sex.) Asking for a resume may not be romantic, but it beats Kaposi's sarcoma.

4,747	6Business & Finance	what was the banking act of 1935 about!!!?		It created the FDIC. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation provides insurance for depositors in banks and guarantees that if a bank fails the depositors will receive their money back. Currently I believe the limit is $100,000 per account. \n\nPrior to FDIC, during the depths of the depression many banks had failed and left the depositors with nothing. This act restored the faith in the banking system.\nHere is a copy of the statute:\n\nhttp://landru.i-link-2.net/monques/bank35.html

But they believe some things about these aliens that make the simple belief in aliens seem rational. :)

DePaul University is holding my transcripts and is stating I owe money - I disagree and they say the only person I can talk to is the person who is over my accout - well he hasn't returned any of my calls in quite some time and for whatever strange reason no one else can help me. What would you do?	Well that is very frustrating. It is not uncommon that a University will hold your transcripts if they believe that you owe for something.\n\nYou should call the University Ombuds Office. Their job is to help solve problems like this. The phone number is (312) 362-8707. Here is their website: http://mission.depaul.edu/ombudsperson/index.asp\n\nExplain your problem to the ombudsman and they can probably help you solve this problem. Of course, if the University thinks you owe money there might not be anything else you can do other than pay it....\n\nHope this helps.

4,752	6Business & Finance	What is an albino?		Albinism (from Latin albus, meaning "white") is a lack of pigmentation (see discussion of pigmentaion next paragraph) in the eyes, skin and hair. It is an inherited condition resulting from the combination of recessive alleles passed from both parents of an individual. This condition is known to affect mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. While the most common term for an individual affected by albinism is "albino", most of them prefer "person with albinism", because "albino" is most often used in a derogatory way.\n\nRegarding Pigmentation:\n\nIn biology, pigment is any material resulting in colour in plant or animal cells which is the result of selective absorption. Some biological material has so-called structural colour, which is the result of selective reflection or iridescence, usually done with multilayer structures. Unlike structural colour, pigment color is the same for all viewing angles. Nearly all types of cells, such as skin, eyes, fur and hair contain pigment. Butterfly wings typically contain structural colour, although many of them contain pigment as well. Creatures that have deficient pigmentation are called albinos.

Most of the time people know what they want and for me it is so difficult, I like everything, I think I have to much interest or I am easy. If someone ask me to go here or there I will not choose. I will appreciate what I have in front of me.	You have difficulty to make choices because you cannot put sentences together correctly. Maybe you should stop being so fickle and just deal with it. Shut up, you're done, end.

4,761	6Business & Finance	Does costumer care really care?		Let's answer this by looking at goals. Large publicly held companies have one goal: to maximize shareholder value. So in this sense, customer care only exists to the extent that it leads to making the shareholders happy. Customer care does not exist because they care about you--at least not primarily. However, as a secondary goal, customer care might actually care. For example, if the customer care manager is given a goal of increasing customer satisfaction and is provided with the appropriate resources, you might actually experience customer care that cares.

You pay only for clickthroughs, and you can choose exactly how many you'd like to have. \n \n- You choose keywords for which your ad shows up. You can choose any keywords you want, but you're required to maintain a certain clickthrough ratio in order to be allowed to advertise on a certain keyword. \n \n- You can choose your price per clickthrough. It's a sort of bidding system; choosing a higher price gives you better placement of your ad. \n \n<3

4,773	3Education & Reference	Explain WHY you multiply numerators when multiplying fractions....?	example: 1/m*1/n	Multiplying fractions is the same as taking part of the number; for example, if you want half of a half, you multiply 1/2 by 1/2 to get a quarter. Now suppose you wanted two thirds of a half. The first thing you need to know is, what is one third of a half? So, multiply 1/3 by 1/2 to get 1/6. But you know you want two of those, so you multiply 1/6 by 2. So you did:\n\n1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6\n1/6 * 2 = 2/6 (or 1/3)\n\nOr, to put it all in one step:\n2/3 * 1/2 = 2/6 (or 1/3)

Limewire, and in fact most file sharing programs do not give your computer a virus.\n\nYou WILL however, get viruses from scripters who use the filesharing programs to force a file upload to your system.\n\nNormally, you initiate a download by selecting what you want to download. Some people however, can use backdoors in the program to make it THINK you requested a download, and will load unwanted files (the neverending supply of kiddy porn is a perfect example)\n\nIf you are going to use Limewire, do NOT keep it on 24/7. Only have it running a download while you are at your system, and keep an eye out on your shared folder. If you see files you KNOW you didnt download, delete them, and scan for viruses

4,777	6Business & Finance	why aren´t there any trees growing above a certain altitude, the so called "tree-line"?		Tree-line or timberline is the edge of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing. Beyond the tree-line, they are unable to grow due to inappropriate environmental conditions. There are several types:\n\nArctic tree-line The furthest north in the Northern Hemisphere that trees can grow; further north, it is too cold to sustain trees. \n\nAntarctic tree-line The furthest south in the Southern Hemisphere that trees can grow; further south, it is too cold to sustain trees. \n\nAlpine tree-line The highest elevation that trees can grow on mountains; higher up, it is too cold to sustain trees. \n\nExposure tree-line On coasts, and on isolated mountains, the tree-line is often much lower than in corresponding altitudes inland and in larger, more complex mountain systems, because high wind speeds adversely affect tree growth. \n\nDesert tree-line The driest places that trees can grow; drier desert areas having insufficient rainfall to sustain trees. \n\nWetland tree-line The wettest ground on the margins of muskegs and bogs that trees can grow in, below which the ground is too saturated with water, excluding oxygen from the soil that tree roots need to grow. \n\nHowever no such line exists for swamps, where trees, such as Bald cypress and the many mangrove species, are adapted to growing in permanently water-logged soil.

4,782	1Science & Mathematics	If 11kg is divided by three we get 3.3(recurring).but doesnt that mean that mass of each piece is infinite?	I am a tenth grade student interested in music ,cars and science	no, because you're not adding .3 each time... you're adding .3 and then .03 and then .003, each getting progressively smaller, so each time, you're not adding enough to even make the one before it go up, let alone the whole thing... it's just getting more accurate with each 3, the 3's go on forever, but each one is progressively less significant. It's the same concept as having lets say a piece of paper, and cutting it in half. You take one half and I take the other. Now you want more, so I give you half of my piece, which is 1/4 of the whole thing, so you have 3/4. Now, you want even more, so I cut my piece in half again and give it to you. I could keep cutting my piece in half and giving it to you, but you would never ever have the whole piece of paper because each piece I'm giving you means less and less, the denominator of my fraction would keep doubling, so I would always have something. I hope this helped you understand. \n\nYou sound like me in 10th grade, well minus the cars. just the general music(well, i was a band geek :p) and science in general, then I got to 11th grade and discovered physics. If you're curious about things like your question here, you're going to love physics, it satisfies so many curiosities you never thought could be answered and so many others you never knew you had. So then I took AP physics, loved it, and now I'm a freshman in college majoring in it. I highly recomment a physics course, you seem to have the inquisitive mind for it.

How happy does it make you to see that your tax money is used by some college student who doesn't even want to study? Wouldn't you rather want your tax money used on students who study hard (hell, they might cure the cancer)?	With all due respect, I support educating American Citizens with my tax dollars before educating foreign students. Obviously, your ethic values and efforts greatly exceed those of many of my own countrymen, but Americans continue to fall farther and farther behind other countries.

4,789	0Society & Culture	I believe in giving back. What are some good places to volunteer my time?	Soup kitchens, shelters, beach cleanups?	Organize a group of people together to feed the homeless that are in the street. There is such a homeless problem in California and not enough shelters to help all of the homeless. There are a few different people/groups of people I have witnessed that have made it their business to make hundreds of sandwiches a day and pass them out to the homeless. There was a lady in Los Angeles who would cook great healthy homemade soups and drive around to the different spots where she knew the homeless people would gather and she made sure they had something good to eat as regularly as possible. But sometimes people can't do that on such a grand scale and it still makes a big difference on a smaller scale sometimes. Just giving something to a homeless person - a warmed plate of your leftovers from dinner perhaps - is a great thing.\n\nWalk up to a homeless woman who is minding her own business, not begging off of anybody, and give her 10% of your weekly income. I met a man one time who did that because he no longer attended church and it was his form of paying tithes. See how big that woman's smile gets. Depending on what you make, you might be able to divide that among 10 homeless women and still get great, surprised, thankful, almost wondrous expressions of happiness.\n\nVolunteer to mentor or assist a homeless person who is not totally beyond help. There are plenty of homeless people out there who look beyond help. Homelessness is a battle of hopelessness. The longer a time a person remains homeless, the more hopeless they feel about everything. People who have been homeless for more than a year become "The Chronic Homeless" and their chances for being able to escape the confines of homelessnes are statistically decreased. Sometimes people just need an address for employment opportunities, a contact phone number for messages, encouragement, food, a safe place to store clothing and personal belongings. When homeless people don't have at least these meager advantages, it can be intensely difficult to make it back into a more normal type of living environment.\n\nBecome a mentor or a Big Brother.\n\nVolunteer to tutor children or speak to children to motivate them to study well so they can become a graphic designer or whatever they want to achieve.\n\nDonate some of your graphic design services or discount as a donation to help non-profit charities advertise events that can help them achieve their goals.\n\nCounty hospitals often welcome volunteer administrative help.\n\n(Just a few ideas - I could go on forever with this. So many worthy causes out there need volunteeristic people.)

It may be expensive, but I cannot emphasize how easy and stress-free the process becomes.

Darkness is the absence of light, although earlier in history it was sometimes viewed as a substance in its own right. \nLooking at this definition, if we were to define what is "speed of light", it would be the speed at which light is leaving a point. And the speed at which light can travel through any point is the constant 'c' used to define the speed of light. \n\nThe speed of light in a vacuum is defined to be exactly 299,792,458 metres per second (or 1,079,252,848.8 km/h, which is approximately 186,282.397 miles per second, or 670,616,629.4 miles per hour).\n\nSpeed of Dark is a Book\nHere's the detail's\nThe Speed of Dark\nElizabeth Moon\nBallantine Books, $23.95, 340 pages, ISBN:03454475570

Ok you need to look at the fact that she went back on her word. Now it may be true that she spent the week with you but all she had to do was call you & inform you that she was going to the dance. Talk to her. Explain that you just want her to respect you that is all. Now dont be mad, calm down. If she does it again, start looking for a replacement...

In fact any computer nowadays is fast as you don't ever need - unless you're gaming, 3D design, video encoding and so on...\n\nThe question is if the computer is optimized. This means, with the given software and hardware configuration, is the computer as fast as it normally should be.\n\nA system free of virus, spyware and hardware faults can still be slow. The important thing is where the processing speed is going. If you have a 500Mhz pc for example, you shouldn't run WindowsXP with full graphical details. As long as you can figure out where you processor speed is going, and you manage it to point towards you primary task, you'll be just fine.

How is rubber made?

"Rubber is an elastic hydrocarbon polymer which occurs as a milky emulsion (known as latex) in the sap of a number of plants but can also be produced synthetically. The major commercial source of natural latex used to create rubber is the Para rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis (Euphorbiaceae). This is largely because it responds to wounding by producing more latex. Other plants containing latex include figs (Ficus elastica), euphorbias, and the common dandelion."\n\nMore at source link.

How does global warming affect weather?

There has been news that the recent floods in south India, the hurricane's in the US are due to global warming. But to my understanding, global warming increases the average suface temperature of earth...How does it change the climate?

Though it may sound crazy, global warming can cause an Ice Age. You see, there's an underwater wall keeping the super-cold water of the Arctic Ocean out of the a lot warmer water of the Alantic Ocean. Global warming makes this wall dissolve, letting the cold water meet the warmer water, overall lowering the temperature of the oceans. Meanwhile, the glaciers start to melt and slide. Now that the oceans aren't as warm, the glacierscan continue to move south and cover a chunk of the Northern Hemisphere in ice. In short, an ice age.\n\nHowever, ice cores are showing that global warming isn't as bad as we thought. the ice cores show that the average global temperature 100,000 years ago would go up and down by 10 degrees in a matter of decades. In comparison, our global warming is warming at a rate of 1 degree per century. Is global warming going to cause the next Ice Age? Or are threats empty? YOu decide.

are chiropractors real doctors?

Doctors of Chiropractic receive extensive, demanding professional education on par with medical doctors (MDs) and osteopaths (DOs).\nTo receive the doctor of chiropractic degree, candidates must complete extensive undergraduate prerequisites and four years of graduate-level instruction and internship at an accredited chiropractic institution. Comprehensive knowledge of all systems of the body and diagnostic procedures enable the DC to thoroughly evaluate a patient, address disorders relating to the spine and determine the need for referral to another health care provider.\n\nDoctors of Chiropractic are primary health care providers.\nAccording to the Center for Studies in Health Policy, "The DC can provide all three levels of primary care interventions and therefore is a primary care provider, as are MDs and DOs. The doctor of chiropractic is a gatekeeper to the health care system and an independent practitioner who provides primary care services. The DC's office is a direct access portal of entry to the full scope of service."\n\nDoctors of Chiropractic are licensed in all 50 states.\nDCs have been licensed and recognized for many decades in all states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.\n\nChiropractic is recognized by governmental health care programs.\nChiropractic is included in Medicare, Medicaid, Federal Employees Health Care Benefits Programs, Federal Workers' Compensation and all state workers' compensation programs. Chiropractic students are qualified to receive federal student loan assistance and DCs are authorized to be commissioned as health care officers in the U.S. Armed Forces.\n\nThe practice of chiropractic is based on sound scientific principles.\nThe existence of the nervous system as the primary control mechanism of the body is an undisputed scientific fact. Its relationship with the spine is the focus of the practice of chiropractic. The spine develops in utero to provide two primary functions: (1) allow for freedom of movement and (2) house and protect the spinal cord. When the vertebrae of the spine become misaligned through trauma or repetitive injury, two major consequences will result: (1) the range of motion becomes limited and (2) spinal nerves emerging from the spinal cord are compromised. DCs use the term "subluxation" to describe such disruptions. Interruption of nerve flow can eventually lead to pain, disability, and an overall decrease in the quality of life. Conversely, the removal of that interference has been shown to have significant, lasting health benefits. Through the adjustment of the subluxation, the doctor of chiropractic endeavors to restore normal nerve expression. The body is then able to respond appropriately to any imbalance in the system, thus relieving symptoms and restoring health.\n\nDoctors of chiropractic provide effective, low-cost health care for a wide range of conditions.\nStudies conducted according to the highest scientific standards and published by organizations not affiliated in any way with chiropractic institutions or associations continue to show the clinical appropriateness and effectiveness of chiropractic care. One of the most recent, funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health, stated emphatically that:\n\n"On the evidence, particularly the most scientifically valid clinical studies, spinal manipulation applied by chiropractors is shown to be more effective than alternative treatments for low back pain...There would be highly significant cost savings if more management of low back pain was transferred from physician to chiropractors."\n\nThe doctor of chiropractic is an effective source of preventative and wellness care.\nThe anatomical focus of the DC on the human spine has created the perception of the DC as just a "back doctor." Although this perception is not entirely incorrect, it is very much incomplete. Doctors of chiropractic are a highly appropriate resource in matters of work-place safety, st

What are the odds of a man catching HIV while having unprotected sex (oral and vaginally)?

What are the odds of a man catching HIV while having unprotected sex (oral and vaginally) with a woman who is HIV positive or AIDS. How do those odds change over time? In other words, one sexual encounter versus multiple?

The following numbers are old, and they're all pretty much guesswork anyway, so take them with a grain of salt. But I venture to say most people in the field would agree with my conclusions.\n\nAccording to a report by researchers Norman Hearst and Stephen Hulley in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the odds of a heterosexual becoming infected with AIDS after one episode of penile-vaginal intercourse with someone in a non-high-risk group without a condom are one in 5 million. With a condom it's even safer--one in 50 million. Just to put this in perspective, the chances of someone in your family getting injured next year in a bubble bath are 1 in 1.3 million (source: The Odds on Virtually Everything, Heron House, 1980). You're in much greater danger of being struck by lightning (1 in 600,000), having your house bombed (1 in 290,000), or being murdered (1 in 11,000).\n\nThe numbers get a lot worse if you engage in "high-risk behavior"--having sexual intercourse or sharing needles with a member of a high-risk group, e.g., a gay or bisexual male or IV drug user from a major metro area, or a hemophiliac. The chances of getting AIDS from one such encounter range as high as 1 in 10,000 using a condom to 1 in 1,000 unprotected. Even if your partner tests negative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the chances of infection from a high-risk person are still relatively high--1 in 50,000 without a condom. That's because there's a 45 to 90 day window during which a newly infected person can infect others but test negative. (A few people go as long as 180 days.)\n\nFrom there on out, statistically speaking, things deteriorate pretty fast. If your partner is HIV-positive, your chances of getting AIDS after one night are 1 in 5,000 with a condom, 1 in 500 without. Have sex with an HIV-positive partner 500 times using condoms and your chances escalate to 1 in 11. Skip the gift wrap and they're 2 in 3.\n\nA couple points: These odds apply equally to men and women. Although there's reason to believe male-to-female AIDS transmission happens more often than female-to-male, the amount of difference is unknown. Also, I have to emphasize again, the numbers involve a lot of guesswork. The authors admit they could be off by a factor of ten in either direction. Still, one message comes through loud and clear: by far the best thing you can do to avoid AIDS is to be picky about your partners. Use of condoms reduces your risk by a factor of 10, sleeping only with people who test negative reduces it by a factor of 5 to 50, but avoiding high-risk partners reduces it by a factor of 5,000. (You'd also be well advised to avoid high-risk behavior, such as unprotected receptive anal sex.) Asking for a resume may not be romantic, but it beats Kaposi's sarcoma.

What would you do?

Well that is very frustrating. It is not uncommon that a University will hold your transcripts if they believe that you owe for something.\n\nYou should call the University Ombuds Office. Their job is to help solve problems like this. The phone number is (312) 362-8707. Here is their website: http://mission.depaul.edu/ombudsperson/index.asp\n\nExplain your problem to the ombudsman and they can probably help you solve this problem.

What is an albino?

Albinism (from Latin albus, meaning "white") is a lack of pigmentation (see discussion of pigmentaion next paragraph) in the eyes, skin and hair. It is an inherited condition resulting from the combination of recessive alleles passed from both parents of an individual. This condition is known to affect mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. While the most common term for an individual affected by albinism is "albino", most of them prefer "person with albinism", because "albino" is most often used in a derogatory way.\n\nRegarding Pigmentation:\n\nIn biology, pigment is any material resulting in colour in plant or animal cells which is the result of selective absorption. Some biological material has so-called structural colour, which is the result of selective reflection or iridescence, usually done with multilayer structures. Unlike structural colour, pigment color is the same for all viewing angles. Nearly all types of cells, such as skin, eyes, fur and hair contain pigment. Butterfly wings typically contain structural colour, although many of them contain pigment as well. Creatures that have deficient pigmentation are called albinos.

Does costumer care really care?

Let's answer this by looking at goals. Large publicly held companies have one goal: to maximize shareholder value. So in this sense, customer care only exists to the extent that it leads to making the shareholders happy. Customer care does not exist because they care about you--at least not primarily. However, as a secondary goal, customer care might actually care. For example, if the customer care manager is given a goal of increasing customer satisfaction and is provided with the appropriate resources, you might actually experience customer care that cares.

Explain WHY you multiply numerators when multiplying fractions....?

example: 1/m*1/n

Multiplying fractions is the same as taking part of the number; for example, if you want half of a half, you multiply 1/2 by 1/2 to get a quarter. Now suppose you wanted two thirds of a half. The first thing you need to know is, what is one third of a half? So, multiply 1/3 by 1/2 to get 1/6. But you know you want two of those, so you multiply 1/6 by 2. So you did:\n\n1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6\n1/6 * 2 = 2/6 (or 1/3)\n\nOr, to put it all in one step:\n2/3 * 1/2 = 2/6 (or 1/3)

why aren´t there any trees growing above a certain altitude, the so called "tree-line"?

Tree-line or timberline is the edge of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing. Beyond the tree-line, they are unable to grow due to inappropriate environmental conditions. There are several types:\n\nArctic tree-line The furthest north in the Northern Hemisphere that trees can grow; further north, it is too cold to sustain trees. \n\nAntarctic tree-line The furthest south in the Southern Hemisphere that trees can grow; further south, it is too cold to sustain trees. \n\nAlpine tree-line The highest elevation that trees can grow on mountains; higher up, it is too cold to sustain trees. \n\nExposure tree-line On coasts, and on isolated mountains, the tree-line is often much lower than in corresponding altitudes inland and in larger, more complex mountain systems, because high wind speeds adversely affect tree growth. \n\nDesert tree-line The driest places that trees can grow; drier desert areas having insufficient rainfall to sustain trees. \n\nWetland tree-line The wettest ground on the margins of muskegs and bogs that trees can grow in, below which the ground is too saturated with water, excluding oxygen from the soil that tree roots need to grow. \n\nHowever no such line exists for swamps, where trees, such as Bald cypress and the many mangrove species, are adapted to growing in permanently water-logged soil.

If 11kg is divided by three we get 3.3(recurring).but doesnt that mean that mass of each piece is infinite?

I am a tenth grade student interested in music ,cars and science

no, because you're not adding .3 each time... you're adding .3 and then .03 and then .003, each getting progressively smaller, so each time, you're not adding enough to even make the one before it go up, let alone the whole thing... it's just getting more accurate with each 3, the 3's go on forever, but each one is progressively less significant. It's the same concept as having lets say a piece of paper, and cutting it in half. You take one half and I take the other. Now you want more, so I give you half of my piece, which is 1/4 of the whole thing, so you have 3/4. Now, you want even more, so I cut my piece in half again and give it to you. I could keep cutting my piece in half and giving it to you, but you would never ever have the whole piece of paper because each piece I'm giving you means less and less, the denominator of my fraction would keep doubling, so I would always have something. I hope this helped you understand. \n\nYou sound like me in 10th grade, well minus the cars. just the general music(well, i was a band geek :p) and science in general, then I got to 11th grade and discovered physics. If you're curious about things like your question here, you're going to love physics, it satisfies so many curiosities you never thought could be answered and so many others you never knew you had. So then I took AP physics, loved it, and now I'm a freshman in college majoring in it. I highly recomment a physics course, you seem to have the inquisitive mind for it.

Isn't it funny?

....how the word 'politics' is made up of the words 'poli' meaning 'many' in Latin, and 'tics' as in 'bloodsucking creatures’?

VERY TRUE, i haven't thought of that before. in addition could tics also mean as leeches, snakes, crocodiles, crabs, and other parasites?

I believe in giving back. What are some good places to volunteer my time?

Soup kitchens, shelters, beach cleanups?

Organize a group of people together to feed the homeless that are in the street. There is such a homeless problem in California and not enough shelters to help all of the homeless. There are a few different people/groups of people I have witnessed that have made it their business to make hundreds of sandwiches a day and pass them out to the homeless. There was a lady in Los Angeles who would cook great healthy homemade soups and drive around to the different spots where she knew the homeless people would gather and she made sure they had something good to eat as regularly as possible. But sometimes people can't do that on such a grand scale and it still makes a big difference on a smaller scale sometimes. Just giving something to a homeless person - a warmed plate of your leftovers from dinner perhaps - is a great thing.\n\nWalk up to a homeless woman who is minding her own business, not begging off of anybody, and give her 10% of your weekly income. I met a man one time who did that because he no longer attended church and it was his form of paying tithes. See how big that woman's smile gets. Depending on what you make, you might be able to divide that among 10 homeless women and still get great, surprised, thankful, almost wondrous expressions of happiness.\n\nVolunteer to mentor or assist a homeless person who is not totally beyond help. There are plenty of homeless people out there who look beyond help. Homelessness is a battle of hopelessness. The longer a time a person remains homeless, the more hopeless they feel about everything. People who have been homeless for more than a year become "The Chronic Homeless" and their chances for being able to escape the confines of homelessnes are statistically decreased. Sometimes people just need an address for employment opportunities, a contact phone number for messages, encouragement, food, a safe place to store clothing and personal belongings. When homeless people don't have at least these meager advantages, it can be intensely difficult to make it back into a more normal type of living environment.\n\nBecome a mentor or a Big Brother.\n\nVolunteer to tutor children or speak to children to motivate them to study well so they can become a graphic designer or whatever they want to achieve.\n\nDonate some of your graphic design services or discount as a donation to help non-profit charities advertise events that can help them achieve their goals.\n\nCounty hospitals often welcome volunteer administrative help.\n\n(Just a few ideas - I could go on forever with this. So many worthy causes out there need volunteeristic people.)

How can I earn 1million dollars?

Open a Roth IRA. Contribute every year. 40 years from now you'll be a millionaire, but of course by then so will everyone else. Darn inflation.

If her mom is interested in you, Do her when your g/f is not around. If you both like it, Cool. If it doesn't work out, move on to fresh territory.

how long will it take to bring a fiancee from another country to the states through filing a fiancee petition?

I am an American citizen who married a non-citizen. If you are seriously considering having your fiancee immigrate to America, get an attourney who specializes in Immigration. It may be expensive, but I cannot emphasize how easy and stress-free the process becomes. Just walking into the INS interview with our attourney was like a stamp of approval; the INS knows the attourney has helped us prepare everything the INS needs, and no honest attourney would risk his job by taking on a client who wasn't earnest.
