4,802	9Politics & Government	Aguilar V. Texas brief?		AGUILAR v. TEXAS\n\nNo. 548\n\nSUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES\n\n378 U.S. 108; 84 S. Ct. 1509; 12 L. Ed. 2d 723; 1964 U.S. LEXIS 994\n\n \nMarch 25-26, 1964, Argued \nJune 15, 1964, Decided\n\nPRIOR HISTORY: \n\nCERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS. Aguillar v. State, 172 Tex. Crim. 629, 362 S.W.2d 111, 1962 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1114 (Tex. Crim. App., 1962)\n\n\nDISPOSITION: 172 Tex. Cr. R. 629, 631, 362 S. W. 2d 111, 112, reversed and remanded.\n\nSUMMARY: A Texas justice of the peace issued a warrant to search for narcotics in defendant's home; the warrant was based on an affidavit filed by two municipal police officers and reciting that affiants received reliable information from a credible person, and that affiants believed, that narcotics were being kept at defendant's premises for illegal sale and use. Over defendant's objection, heroin seized under the warrant was introduced in evidence at his trial in a Texas state court. Defendant was convicted of illegal possession of heroin, and his conviction was affirmed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. (172 Tex Crim 629, 362 SW2d 111, affirmance upheld on rehearing, 172 Tex Crim 631, 362 SW2d 112.)\n\nOn certiorari, the United States Supreme Court reversed. In an opinion by Goldberg, J., expressing the views of six members of the Court, it was held that under the Fourteenth Amendment the heroin was not admissible in evidence because the affidavit was insufficient to establish probable cause, the standard for obtaining a search warrant being the same under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments.\n\nHarlan, J., concurred in the Court's opinion, stating that but for Ker v California, 374 US 23, 10 L ed 2d 726, 83 S Ct 1623, in which case he dissented, he would have affirmed the judgment of the Texas court.\n\nClark, J., joined by Black and Stewart, JJ., dissented, expressing the view that the majority substituted a rigid, academic formula for the unrigid standards of reasonableness and probable cause laid down by the Fourth Amendment.\n\nLAWYERS' EDITION HEADNOTES: \n \n [*HN1] \nSEARCH AND SEIZURE §27\nwarrants -- showing of probable cause -- judicial review --\n \nHeadnote: [1]\nIn passing on the validity of a search warrant, the reviewing court may consider only information brought to the magistrate's attention; hence, the fact that the police may have kept a suspect's house under surveillance is irrelevant where, in applying for the warrant, the police did not mention any surveillance.\n \n [HN2] \nSEARCH AND SEIZURE §5\nrestrictions on states -- warrant -- standards --\n \nHeadnote: [2]\nThe standard for obtaining a search warrant is the same under the Fourth and under the Fourteenth Amendment, through which the Fourth Amendment's proscriptions of unreasonable searches and seizures are enforced against the states.\n \n [HN3] \nSEARCH AND SEIZURE §26\nconstitutionality of search warrant --\n \nHeadnote: [3]\nIn evaluating the constitutionality of a search warrant, the rule is that the informed and deliberate determinations of magistrates empowered to issue warrants are to be preferred over the hurried action of police officers who may happen to make arrests.\n \n [HN4] \nSEARCH AND SEIZURE §25\nwithout warrant -- justification --\n \nHeadnote: [4]\nThat facts known to police officers would constitute sufficient evidence to justify the issuance of a search warrant will not justify the officers in making a search without a warrant.\n \n [**HN5] \nSEARCH AND SEIZURE §27\nshowing probable cause -- judicial review --\n \nHeadnote: [5]\nWhere a search is based upon a magistrate's, rather than a police officer's, determination of probable cause, the reviewing court will accept evidence of a less judicially competent or persuasive character than would have justified an officer in acting on his own without a warrant, and will sustain the judicial determination of probable cause so long as there was substa

4,807	6Business & Finance	What are the first steps to setting up a New Age/Witchcraft supply shop in my small town?	I think this area desperately needs a Witchcraft supply store. There are plenty of Witches here and no stores to get everything for your spells and reading. How do I go about opening one. I recently got an inheritance and I would like to put that money up to start the business. I have $75k, is that enough? I also have good credit.	When we first opened the Copper Cauldron, which we had in Jacksonville Oregon, we invested 75k total into the business. We did quite well and moved our store to St. Paul, Minnesota.\n\nGeneral guidlines, find a good wholeseller, and do your research. Don't just sell products, provide a service, such as readings, and such to give to your customers. Help them with research, educate them if necessary. Hold workshops and classes as well.\n\nTo help make your adjustment into the community acceptable, to avoid the problems we had (broken windows, broken down door, ect), aggree to educate and hold workshops on the various pagan religious types to the general community. Hold free sessions, ect to offer people. \n\nBest to spend on good quality store furniture. Best to buy quality items and sell at a decent price.\n\nGet listed on WitchVox.com Great place.\n\nAdvertise, and join the BBB in your area. Also consider joining your local Chamber of Commerce.\n\nI reccomend setting up your hours for what is available and done within your community. So if most stores are closed on monday, close yours on monday as well, so that you don't provide a commerce shock to the area.\n\nKeep in mind that you are not going to be considered a niche shop, indeed not. You are a community shop, that is a shop that is available throughout the year. One that doesn't close or dwindle after the tourist season. \n\nKeep in mind also, that you need to provide an open and safe environment for your patrons. There should be no tolerance for harassment, ect of your patrons out in front of your shop, or in your shop.\n\nI reccomend carrying some form of New Age book shop/section for your store. The reason for this is that people like to read, they like to learn. And the more they read, and the more they come in to buy/return books, the more face you recieve per day.\n\nWe started a library program for our store, and did wonderfully!\n\nCheck out places such as azuregreen.com and look at their wholesell program, they are great.\n\nCheck out stores and suppliers in canada, as well, as they provide great products for cheap.\n\nConsider hosting local merchants, ect, within your shop.\n\nMain steps: Get your state business licence from your secretary of state. Get your city license if needed. \n\nFind a good location, open your store. Get some form of security. Make sure you don't need a security permit from your local police department to operate a security system.\n\nGet some form of security camera system in y our store, this helps cut down on losses due to theft. Trust me it will happen.\n\nFind an open minded land lord. Don't go with one who is 'unsure' but go with one who likes the idea of a pagan store in the area.\n\nDO NOT CALL YOURSELF A WITCHCRAFT STORE. Absoutly not, you are a Pagan Resource Center, or a Pagan Store. The reason for this is that 'witchcraft' no matter what spin you put on it, will have a negative connotation to those around you in your community. However if you are a Pagan store, or Pagan Resource Center, you have much more credibility.\n\nJoin local stores in intitiaves, and such to get your name out there. Help with local planning of events for your community.\n\nLastly, advertise as best you can.\n\nIf you need more help, please email me, i'd be more than willing to help you setup :)

4,811	6Business & Finance	looking for bus trip to nyc from harrisburg, pa?	end of 2005 to spring of 2006	You don't say for how long, and if you need more than just the ride.\n\nAn alternative is Amtrak runs the Keystone train between Harrisburg and NYC. That'll certainly get you into downtown (Penn Station).
4,812	0Society & Culture	Do you keep tradition & light Hanukkah candles?		yes i do. my family says three blessings while lighting them on the first night. the other nights we only say two because the third is a "first time" blessing. we always put the hanukia in our window because it is a way we show the world the miricle that happened. i dont know exactly what is tradition or culture but we also make potato latkees (baked in OIL). we do get and give presents but that has no real meaning to hannukah. that happens because of assimilation. we play dreidal also. if you have ever seen one the four letters on it stand for "neys gadol hayah sham" that translates to "a great miricle happened there". the game is just for fun but you play for gelt. if you spin a "nun" nothing happens. a "gimel" you get all the gelt that is in the middle. a "hey" means you get half and a "shin" means you put one piece of gelt in. the songs are always fun to sing with family and friends.\n\nif you want to know more just search or "hannukah" "chanukkah" "hanuka" or any other spelling you know. the only real way is to write it in hebrew

4,816	0Society & Culture	what do you all know about romania?		Ro·ma·ni·a (rō-mā'nē-ə, -mān'yə) or Ru·ma·ni·a (rū-)\n\nA country of southeast Europe with a short coastline on the Black Sea. Originally a Roman province, the area was conquered from the 3rd to the 12th century by a succession of invaders, including Goths, Huns, Magyars, and Mongols. In the 13th century two principalities, Moldavia and Walachia, emerged, becoming vassal states within the Turkish Empire and eventually Russian protectorates. They were united in 1861 and became independent in 1878. The rise of fascism in the 1930s led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a dictatorship in 1940. Following Romania's surrender to the USSR during World War II, the country was declared (1947) a communist republic, which was overthrown in 1989 with army-supported countrywide revolts. Bucharest is the capital and the largest city. Population: 22,300,000 .

4,819	6Business & Finance	WHO GOT THE IDEA OF INTERNET?		During the 1950s, several communications researchers realized that there was a need to allow general communication between users of various computers and communications networks. This led to research into decentralized networks, queuing theory, and packet switching. The subsequent creation of ARPANET in the United States in turn catalyzed a wave of technical developments that made it the basis for the development of the Internet. Contrary to popular myth, the DoD did not create the ARPANET so that they could communicate to the US Government after a nuclear war.\n\nThe first TCP/IP wide area network was operational in 1984 when the United States' National Science Foundation (NSF) constructed a university network backbone that would later become the NSFNet. It was then followed by the opening of the network to commercial interests in 1995. Important separate networks that offered gateways into, then later merged into the Internet include Usenet, Bitnet and the various commercial and educational X.25 networks such as Compuserve and JANET. The ability of TCP/IP to work over these pre-existing communication networks allowed for a great ease of growth. Use of Internet as a phrase to describe a single global TCP/IP network originated around this time.\n\nThe collective network gained a public face in the 1990s. In August 1991 CERN in Switzerland publicized the new World Wide Web project, two years after Tim Berners-Lee had begun creating HTML, HTTP and the first few web pages at CERN in Switzerland. In 1993 the Mosaic web browser version 1.0 was released, and by late 1994 there was growing public interest in the previously academic/technical Internet. By 1996 the word "Internet" was common public currency, but it referred almost entirely to the World Wide Web.\n\nMeanwhile, over the course of the decade, the Internet successfully accommodated the majority of previously existing public computer networks (although some networks such as FidoNet have remained separate). This growth is often attributed to the lack of central administration, which allows organic growth of the network, as well as the non-proprietary open nature of the Internet protocols, which encourages vendor interoperability and prevents any one company from exerting too much control over the network.
4,820	3Education & Reference	Where can i find ideas for writing an economic paper?		I have my bachelors degree in economics if you could be more specific on what the paper needs to be about maybe I can give you an idea. I am not to familiar with Peru's economy so I can't help you as far as that goes. A good topic that has a lot of information on it would be the American banking system and how it operates.

'bush' isn't a bad president.. we have a left wing mainstream media.. and a bunch of sheep that sit in front of the tv all day and eat potato chips and believe everything they hear about crackpot conspiracy.. the same ppl that think bush is a bad pres are the same ppl that believe the da vinci code is real.
4,825	1Science & Mathematics	what are the advantages of antibacterial products?		Antibiotics are a valuable tool for fighting bacterial infections which persistantly do not resolve with your body's own Immune System.\n\nAntibacterial products have been touted to reduce infection from exposure to things you touch, wear, etc. This is valuable for some people with compromised immune systems, but the normal healthy person really has no need for such products.\n\nIn fact, the use of those products and antibiotics are creating stronger more resistant bacteria in our environment. With stronger more resistant bacteria comes the risk of NOT being able to get rid of an infection when one occurs. \n\nExamples of resistant bacteria are MRSA and VRE. These are very difficult infections to fight BECAUSE of their resistance.\n\nSo, to recap, most of the time exposure to bacteria will actually increase your immune systems ability to FIGHT that bacteria later and using too many products to kill bacteria can actually, in the end, hurt us.

4,830	3Education & Reference	how can i earn at home? (philippines)?		The Internet allows companies and talent to connect from all across the globe. There is one Website I know of that will connect you with a company. I haven't worked with them myself so you will have to research them thouroughly, but look around online to find opportunities.\n\nAlso the difference in currencies tends to favor overseas talent when they work out a gig with an American or European country (assuming that the Dollar or Euro is valued greater than your home currency).

4,832	2Health	To prevent blood clots they recommend loose socks. But in the hospital they give you tight socks. How come?	When sitting for long times, say, in an airplane flight, wearing loose clothes, especially socks, is recommended to prevent blood clots. Yet, to prevent clots, when confined to a hospital bed, very tight fitting socks are provided. Seems inconsistent. Any ideas?	First, I find the first post to be offensive, and if you dont know the answer just dont give it!\n\nSecond your answser - blood clots are caused from the stagnant flow of blood which does not return to the heart. Unlike your arteries which have alot of muscle in them, your veins rely on compressions of skeletal muscle to return blood back to the heart. If you are not moving your feet or legs, blood pools and can clot while it is sitting there.\n\nThe tight socks in the hospital compress the skeletal muscle which help blood to return back to the heart. In flight, your legs can swell, thus tight socks would contrict blood flow and possibly make swelling worse.\n\nNo matter what socks you wear, just do ankle exercises and all will be well! :)
4,833	1Science & Mathematics	WHy is dark matter not really just warped space time?	People always say dark matter bends light but could it be equally true that a time warp would show the same effects in a time-space continuum? How would you tell the difference since gravity is just exactly that a warping in space-time which we attribute to mass.	General Relativity, which is the modern theory of gravity has some specific ways in which space can be warped: mass, of course, and also is a gravity wave goes by, and I suppose there could be some relic weirdness left over from the Big Bang.\n\nHaving warped space without mass is basically saying that there is gravity in some region of space without a known cause, at least as far as General Relativity goes. Some people have tried to get rid of dark matter with new theories of gravity - this is essentially what you're proposing - but thus far it never really works out.
4,834	8Family & Relationships	My boyfriend and I really love each other and want to be together, but it seems like lately all we do is argue	We've been together for a long time and we even have a beautiful 4 year old daughter. We plan to get married within the next year and a half or so (by then we will both be finished with our degrees). I love him with all my heart and I know he loves me too. But, it seems like lately we do nothing but fuss and disagree. It's really getting frustrating and we don't know what to do. We both know that we don't want to be with anyone else. But this is really beginning to take a toll on our relationship because we hardly ever just laugh anymore. It's like we argue so much that the both of us constantly have our guard up and are ready to go off about something. Nowadays, we just stay so uptight. Please help me. I don't know what to do. I don't want to be without him, but I also know that our relationship can't go on this way.	I sincerely wish I had an effective answer for you. It seems that you've both developed a sense of competitiveness toward each other. In other words, you are both trying to upstage one another. This leads to conflict. Give yourselves more room to breathe for awhile. You will realize how much you miss each other once a few days have elapsed. If not, seek proffesional advice. Good luck, dear.

4,838	4Computers & Internet	How do computer virus writers test their viruses? Wouldn't they ruin their own computers testing?	I'm not a virus writer, or trying to learn how to be, I just can't imagine these people destroy dozens of computers for each virus, and software is software - it needs to be tested.	The information about recovery disks is basically correct: Virus writers either manually or automatically restore their computer to an earlier state by reinstalling the software from scratch or by using a recovery system.\n\nHowever, the fastest recovery systems will recover a few gigs of data in couple minutes. The local university here loads it's operating system fresh every time you reboot the computer. It is very fast.\n\nAlso a key point to note: Since the virus writers know what their virus infections do, they also know the best way to restore and fix the damage. I'm sure a lot of virus writers test their viruses and only fix the parts that the virus broke. This would save them the most time.\n\nPS: If I ever meet a virus writer, I'm going to kick him/her in the nuts and call the cops. That shit is wrong. I work in IT and have to fix the damage that virii, spyware, and other crap does to computers.

4,841	9Politics & Government	who killed kennedy?		According to the movie JFK it was the greedy US military leaders who received kickbacks from arm sales to aid for the war in Vietnam.\n\nBut the public enquiry had found one Mr. Lee Harvey Oswald as the gunman who shot kennedy. But given the spate of assassinations during that time I can hardly digest this. See the link below which I have discovered just now for more details on the Kennedy assassinations
4,842	6Business & Finance	if i drink bleu dye, will it make my urine turn green (yellow and blue makes green)?		That sounds right to me. What if you eat a whole bunch of marshmallows.. will that do anything to your poo? I mean, a ton of marshmallows. Like, enough marshmallows to feed a small country.
4,843	1Science & Mathematics	How to traffic signals detect waiting cars?		There are all sorts of technologies for detecting cars -- everything from lasers to rubber hoses filled with air! By far the most common technique is the inductive loop. An inductive loop is simply a coil of wire embedded in the road's surface. To install the loop, they lay the asphalt and then come back and cut a groove in the asphalt with a saw. The wire is placed in the groove and sealed with a rubbery compound. You can often see these big rectangular loops cut in the pavement because the compound is obvious.\nFor more, see the link!
4,844	5Sports	Which martial art hurts more?	a)jujitsu\nb)ninjitsu	I'm assuming you mean which martial art hurts your opponent more. This is an odd way of looking at these 2 disciplines because both can be very effective without hurting your opponent.\n\nSince a large part of ninjitsu is stealth and assasination by any means necessary, I'm not sure how much it hurts. \n\nJu-jitsu on the other hand includes a variety of joint breaking techiniques and leg locks which can be excrutiating. To give you a strict answer, I would say that Ju-jitsu can hurt more because you'd still be alive to feel the pain. At the hands of a ninja, one would hopefully suffer little and simply be dead.\n\nIt should be noted that the 2 are not mutually exclusive. The techniques of Ju-jitsu are going to be practiced by anyone studying Nin-jitsu as Ju-jitsu is the foundation for open handed grappling and throwing techniques.
4,845	1Science & Mathematics	Why do dogs and cats have red eyes in photographs?		Same reason humans have red eye -> Flash light that is sent directly to the retina (parallel to eye level) is reflected off the blood vessels at the back of the retina, hence the red color.\n\nPerhaps you see it more in dogs and cats because they reflect more light off their retina, thats how they manage to have better eye sight than humans.
4,846	4Computers & Internet	How do I save audio file after adjusting speed? (Using Windows Media Player 10)?		The speed adjustment in WMP is a playback effect, and can't actually be saved, as WMP is just a player. You need some kind of sound editing program for it to save. You can use Windows Sound Recorder, depending on it's format. However, you will have better luck with a program like Sony Sound Forge. (Sound forge might actually be made by a subsidiary of Sony, so it might not actually say Sony, I just know it by that name)
4,847	6Business & Finance	On yahoo answers how many points do you need before you reach level 2?		You need 250 to reach level 2

4,851	2Health	How is cracking your neck bad if cracking your fingers is ok?	stemmed from jones question	WELL, usually when u crack ur fingers u crack them up or down, and that is fine. BUT when u crack ur neck u r not cracking it up or down, u r cracking it in the circle style, which will make ur neck kindda loose when u get older, and it gives u lees control of ur neck when u get older.
4,852	4Computers & Internet	What are pass by reference and passby value?		classic example\nSuppose you want to write a function to exchange the values of two integer variables. It seems like that would be fairly trivial. For example, to swap x and y, you could just create an extra int variable, t, and write code that looks like this: \nt = x;\nx = y;\ny = t;\nThat would certainly work. (Try giving x and y initial values & trace through the code if you don't see why the code works. Note that this approach is similar to what you did for the mandel() function in that programming assignment.)\n\nSo, you would probably suppose that you could write a function like this:\n\nvoid swap (int x, int y) {\n \n int t = x;\n \n x = y;\n \n y = t;\n}\nNow, suppose your main() looks like this:\n\nint main(void)\n{\n int a = 5;\n \n int b = 7;\n \n swap( a, b );\n \n printf("a is %d and b is %d\n", a, b);\n \n}\n \nWhat will print? If swap works, we expect "a is 7 and b is 5" to print. But what actually happens? When the function swap is called, the values of a and b are passed into the functions. When swap begins, x is initialized to 5 and y is initialized to 7. The values of x and y are swapped...but the values of a and b (in main) are unaffected. The swap function does not work as written above because the arguments were passed 'by value.'\n\nWith pointers, we can pass the values 'by reference.' Passing by reference means that we'll pass the addresses of the variables instead of the values. Here's how swap and main should be written:\n\nvoid swap ( int px, int py) {\n \n int t = px;\n \n px = py;\n \n py = t;\n \n}\n \nint main(void) \n{\n int a = 5;\n \n int b = 7;\n \n swap( &a, &b );\n \n printf("a is %d and b is %d\n", a, b);\n \n}\n \nNow, the addresses of the variables a and b are passed into swap. In swap, t is set to the value of 'the data that px points to', which is just the value stored at the address of a, which is 5. Then the value stored at address px is changed to the value stored at address py. This sets a to the value of b. Finally, b is set to the value t, which was the value originally stored at a. So, the values of a and b were swapped.
4,853	2Health	what is upper gi endoscopy?	I have been suffering from an abdomenal pain for two years now , I wa asked to go for UPPER GI ENDOSCOPY .What is it?	A doctor inserts a tube into your mouth, and runs it through your esophogus, through the stomach, and into the duodenom (upper intestines). The doctor then can detect polyps, damage, tumors, etc, and he can also biopsy troubled areas. You will be required to be on a liquid-only diet for 24 hours, and then you can eat or drink nothing after midnight before the procedure. You will also be given laxatives to clear out your digestive system completely.\n\nFor the procedure, you will be given a spray to numb your throat and gag reflex. You will also be given a medication that will make you relaxed but you will still be awake during the procedure. The doctor will need you to help get the tube down. \n\nThe whole thing takes about 30 minutes. You won't be able to eat until the numbing spray wears off. Good luck!

4,873	1Science & Mathematics	How can the force of elastic orthodontic bands be measured?		The force exerted by an orthodontic band can be measured by first calculating its force-constant. It can be done in the following way:\n\n(1) Hang a single, unstretched, orthodontic band from a string.\n(2) Along side the band, place a measuring ruler and carefully note and record where the bottom part of the band starts. This will be our starting point.\n(3) Next, hang a couple of known weights such as paperclips, fishing sinkers, etc, and note how far the band stretches with the given weight attached. Perform this task for, say, 5 to 10 different weights. Don't forget to measure and record how far the band stretched for each weight you hang from it.\n(4) Now, using graph paper, make an x-y plot of the data. Mark how much weight was used (y-axis) and how far the band stretched (x-axis).\n(5) Through these data points, a straight line can be drawn which has a calculated slope. This value of the slope, k, is your force-constant. Don't worry, this will make sense in a minute.\n\nTo calculate the force exerted by the band, use the following equation: F = kx, where F is the exerted (restoring) force, x is the distance the band stretched, and k is the force-constant we calculated.\n\nViola! There you go.\n\nDepending on the material, the force-constant k will be different. This was why we had to go through steps (1) to (5).
4,874	1Science & Mathematics	When we are travelling in a bus, we feel the speed. But, why are we not able to feel the speed of earth?		It is true to say that you cannot feel the "speed" (velocity) of a bus when moving at a constant velocity - - but only in a "perfect" universe - - i.e., no "contact" between the bus and its environment. In reality, you probably perceive high velocity versus low velocity due to changes in vibration, bumps in the road, "wind" whistling, motor engine noise of the bus, etc.\n\nNot only is the earth moving at "constant" velocity (technically, its velocity is decreasing at an extremely low rate; slowing down only as measured over billions of years) - - its "interaction" with its "environment" (in solar system space) is virtually zero.

4,877	6Business & Finance	Which part of the human body that has no blood supply?		Hair, once it leaves the folicle, has no blood supply. Nails are a form of hair and have no blood supply once they leave the root. Bone which is very dense has either a blood supply (marrow) or is bathed in nearby blood supplying needed oxygen. Young caisson workers (building tunnels under rivers at elevated air pressure) were prone to bone embrittlement if depressurized too fast too often because expanding nitrogen from their denser bone ends prevented fresh oxygen from entering thus causing bone necrosis. Teeth have a blood supply unless you have had a root canal (0ouch!). Parts of the eye have poor blood supply and no veins and need oxygen from the air. The body can take in about 10% of the oxygen needed through the skin.

4,880	6Business & Finance	How high will gold go per oz. in US dollars?		Impossible to accurately predict but my guess would be not much more.\n\nWe have recently seen that the first signs of selling could lead to a sudden drop:\nhttp://news.ft.com/cms/s/9a0be6b4-6ea1-11da-9544-0000779e2340.html\nand central banks also want to reduce their gold levels in the long term.\n\nSome people also believe that there is often less demand for gold after Christmas, so I'm not optimistic for gold in the new year. If I had to put a figure on it, my wild guess would be a drop to $480 by the end of January and then lower after that. This is pure speculation, however.

Nowadays, employers look for people who are trained as technical writers.
4,884	9Politics & Government	what is the cutoff date for selective service?	in other words, when can i stop worrying about being drafted?	You are required to be registered with the selective service between the age of 18 and 25. However if a draft were to be constituted in the US, current selective service reforms suggest that a lottery would be held with young men turning 20 up first. \n\nThe likelihood of being drafted in the US depends on many factors. First and foremost is the need for more soldiers. With the current situation the US is in, it remains unlikely that a draft would be issued. However world events could quickly change that. \n\nAll in all, you can never fully "stop worrying" about being drafted. If a crisis were to warrant it, anyone (traditionally only males) could be drafted. It would start with those turning 20 within that year, and spread out to affect those young down to 18 years old and upwards toward 25. Local draft boards would be the deciding body as to whether you were to be drafted or not if you fell within the age specifications. If the need were there, those older than 25 could also be drafted.

Asian countries are more disciplined and work harder for what they have and the work ethics here in America are terrible. People want a free ride and that will be our demise. Our goverment should not have to be the driving force behind our economy and style of life. When and if people start taking responibility for their actions and work hard again this country will turn around. Until then we will continue to fall apart at the seams that once made our country strong.

If you are using AVG go to the control center and go to Update Manager and click update then select your source as internet, if it doesn't work at first try again in an hour or two and it should eventually work.\n\nIf you aren't using AVG I can't give you any specific instructions but try to use your anti-virus program's manual update feature.
4,895	1Science & Mathematics	black holes?	if black holes can absorb matter and light, is there an exit where all the absorbed matter and light are emitted?	The way a black hole works is that it compresses a lot of mass into a single point, giving it an infinite density. What makes a black hole is the concentration of mass and gravity into such a small volume. This means that as more matter gets sucked in all the matter gets compressed into a single point.\n\nWhat exactly happens at this point, we don't know, and we think that the laws of physics as we know them break down to some degree.

4,898	6Business & Finance	What is Vlad the Impaler's claim to fame?	Give background and references, please.	Vlad Tepes Dracula, the historical figure who inspired Bram Stoker for his novel, is definitely less known. The centennial of the gothic masterpiece provides us with a good pretext to dive back into the life of this machiavellian fifteenth century leader - an initiative that will enable us to better appreciate the work of Stoker.\n\nVlad became quite known for his brutal punishment techniques; he often ordered people to be skinned, boiled, decapitated, blinded, strangled, hanged, burned, roasted, hacked, nailed, buried alive, stabbed, etc. He also liked to cut off noses, ears, sexual organs and limbs. But his favorite method was impalement on stakes, hence the surname "Tepes" which means "The Impaler" in the Romanian language. Even the Turks referred to him as "Kaziglu Bey," meaning "The Impaler Prince." It is this technique he used in 1457, 1459 and 1460 against Transylvanian merchants who had ignored his trade laws. The raids he led against the German Saxons of Transylvania were also acts of proto-nationalism in order to protect and favour the Wallachian commerce activities.

AGUILAR v. TEXAS\n\nNo. 548\n\nSUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES\n\n378 U.S. 108; 84 S. Ct. 1509; 12 L. Ed. 2d 723; 1964 U.S. LEXIS 994\n\n \nMarch 25-26, 1964, Argued \nJune 15, 1964, Decided\n\nPRIOR HISTORY: \n\nCERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS. Aguillar v. State, 172 Tex. Crim. 629, 362 S.W.2d 111, 1962 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1114 (Tex. Crim. App., 1962)\n\n\nDISPOSITION: 172 Tex. Cr. R. 629, 631, 362 S. W. 2d 111, 112, reversed and remanded.\n\nSUMMARY: A Texas justice of the peace issued a warrant to search for narcotics in defendant's home; the warrant was based on an affidavit filed by two municipal police officers and reciting that affiants received reliable information from a credible person, and that affiants believed, that narcotics were being kept at defendant's premises for illegal sale and use. Over defendant's objection, heroin seized under the warrant was introduced in evidence at his trial in a Texas state court. Defendant was convicted of illegal possession of heroin, and his conviction was affirmed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. (172 Tex Crim 629, 362 SW2d 111, affirmance upheld on rehearing, 172 Tex Crim 631, 362 SW2d 112.)\n\nOn certiorari, the United States Supreme Court reversed. In an opinion by Goldberg, J., expressing the views of six members of the Court, it was held that under the Fourteenth Amendment the heroin was not admissible in evidence because the affidavit was insufficient to establish probable cause, the standard for obtaining a search warrant being the same under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments.\n\nHarlan, J., concurred in the Court's opinion, stating that but for Ker v California, 374 US 23, 10 L ed 2d 726, 83 S Ct 1623, in which case he dissented, he would have affirmed the judgment of the Texas court.\n\nClark, J., joined by Black and Stewart, JJ., dissented, expressing the view that the majority substituted a rigid, academic formula for the unrigid standards of reasonableness and probable cause laid down by the Fourth Amendment.\n\nLAWYERS' EDITION HEADNOTES: \n \n [***HN1] \nSEARCH AND SEIZURE §27\nwarrants -- showing of probable cause -- judicial review --\n \nHeadnote: [1]\nIn passing on the validity of a search warrant, the reviewing court may consider only information brought to the magistrate's attention; hence, the fact that the police may have kept a suspect's house under surveillance is irrelevant where, in applying for the warrant, the police did not mention any surveillance.\n \n [***HN2] \nSEARCH AND SEIZURE §5\nrestrictions on states -- warrant -- standards --\n \nHeadnote: [2]\nThe standard for obtaining a search warrant is the same under the Fourth and under the Fourteenth Amendment, through which the Fourth Amendment's proscriptions of unreasonable searches and seizures are enforced against the states.\n \n [***HN3] \nSEARCH AND SEIZURE §26\nconstitutionality of search warrant --\n \nHeadnote: [3]\nIn evaluating the constitutionality of a search warrant, the rule is that the informed and deliberate determinations of magistrates empowered to issue warrants are to be preferred over the hurried action of police officers who may happen to make arrests.\n \n [***HN4] \nSEARCH AND SEIZURE §25\nwithout warrant -- justification --\n \nHeadnote: [4]\nThat facts known to police officers would constitute sufficient evidence to justify the issuance of a search warrant will not justify the officers in making a search without a warrant.\n \n [***HN5] \nSEARCH AND SEIZURE §27\nshowing probable cause -- judicial review --\n \nHeadnote: [5]\nWhere a search is based upon a magistrate's, rather than a police officer's, determination of probable cause, the reviewing court will accept evidence of a less judicially competent or persuasive character than would have justified an officer in acting on his own without a warrant, and will sustain the judicial determination of probable cause so long as there was substa

What are the first steps to setting up a New Age/Witchcraft supply shop in my small town?

I think this area desperately needs a Witchcraft supply store. There are plenty of Witches here and no stores to get everything for your spells and reading. How do I go about opening one. I recently got an inheritance and I would like to put that money up to start the business. I have $75k, is that enough? I also have good credit.

When we first opened the Copper Cauldron, which we had in Jacksonville Oregon, we invested 75k total into the business. We did quite well and moved our store to St. Paul, Minnesota.\n\nGeneral guidlines, find a good wholeseller, and do your research. Don't just sell products, provide a service, such as readings, and such to give to your customers. Help them with research, educate them if necessary. Hold workshops and classes as well.\n\nTo help make your adjustment into the community acceptable, to avoid the problems we had (broken windows, broken down door, ect), aggree to educate and hold workshops on the various pagan religious types to the general community. Hold free sessions, ect to offer people. \n\nBest to spend on good quality store furniture. Best to buy quality items and sell at a decent price.\n\nGet listed on WitchVox.com Great place.\n\nAdvertise, and join the BBB in your area. Also consider joining your local Chamber of Commerce.\n\nI reccomend setting up your hours for what is available and done within your community. So if most stores are closed on monday, close yours on monday as well, so that you don't provide a commerce shock to the area.\n\nKeep in mind that you are not going to be considered a niche shop, indeed not. You are a community shop, that is a shop that is available throughout the year. One that doesn't close or dwindle after the tourist season. \n\nKeep in mind also, that you need to provide an open and safe environment for your patrons. There should be no tolerance for harassment, ect of your patrons out in front of your shop, or in your shop.\n\nI reccomend carrying some form of New Age book shop/section for your store.

Do you keep tradition & light Hanukkah candles?

yes i do. my family says three blessings while lighting them on the first night. the other nights we only say two because the third is a "first time" blessing. we always put the hanukia in our window because it is a way we show the world the miricle that happened. i dont know exactly what is tradition or culture but we also make potato latkees (baked in OIL). we do get and give presents but that has no real meaning to hannukah. that happens because of assimilation. we play dreidal also. if you have ever seen one the four letters on it stand for "neys gadol hayah sham" that translates to "a great miricle happened there". the game is just for fun but you play for gelt. if you spin a "nun" nothing happens. a "gimel" you get all the gelt that is in the middle. a "hey" means you get half and a "shin" means you put one piece of gelt in. the songs are always fun to sing with family and friends.\n\nif you want to know more just search or "hannukah" "chanukkah" "hanuka" or any other spelling you know. the only real way is to write it in hebrew

what do you all know about romania?

Ro·ma·ni·a (rō-mā'nē-ə, -mān'yə) or Ru·ma·ni·a (rū-)\n\nA country of southeast Europe with a short coastline on the Black Sea. Originally a Roman province, the area was conquered from the 3rd to the 12th century by a succession of invaders, including Goths, Huns, Magyars, and Mongols. In the 13th century two principalities, Moldavia and Walachia, emerged, becoming vassal states within the Turkish Empire and eventually Russian protectorates. They were united in 1861 and became independent in 1878. The rise of fascism in the 1930s led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a dictatorship in 1940. Following Romania's surrender to the USSR during World War II, the country was declared (1947) a communist republic, which was overthrown in 1989 with army-supported countrywide revolts. Bucharest is the capital and the largest city. Population: 22,300,000 .

WHO GOT THE IDEA OF INTERNET?

During the 1950s, several communications researchers realized that there was a need to allow general communication between users of various computers and communications networks. This led to research into decentralized networks, queuing theory, and packet switching. The subsequent creation of ARPANET in the United States in turn catalyzed a wave of technical developments that made it the basis for the development of the Internet. Contrary to popular myth, the DoD did not create the ARPANET so that they could communicate to the US Government after a nuclear war.\n\nThe first TCP/IP wide area network was operational in 1984 when the United States' National Science Foundation (NSF) constructed a university network backbone that would later become the NSFNet. It was then followed by the opening of the network to commercial interests in 1995. Important separate networks that offered gateways into, then later merged into the Internet include Usenet, Bitnet and the various commercial and educational X.25 networks such as Compuserve and JANET. The ability of TCP/IP to work over these pre-existing communication networks allowed for a great ease of growth. Use of Internet as a phrase to describe a single global TCP/IP network originated around this time.\n\nThe collective network gained a public face in the 1990s. In August 1991 CERN in Switzerland publicized the new World Wide Web project, two years after Tim Berners-Lee had begun creating HTML, HTTP and the first few web pages at CERN in Switzerland. In 1993 the Mosaic web browser version 1.0 was released, and by late 1994 there was growing public interest in the previously academic/technical Internet. By 1996 the word "Internet" was common public currency, but it referred almost entirely to the World Wide Web.\n\nMeanwhile, over the course of the decade, the Internet successfully accommodated the majority of previously existing public computer networks (although some networks such as FidoNet have remained separate). This growth is often attributed to the lack of central administration, which allows organic growth of the network, as well as the non-proprietary open nature of the Internet protocols, which encourages vendor interoperability and prevents any one company from exerting too much control over the network.

what are the advantages of antibacterial products?

Antibiotics are a valuable tool for fighting bacterial infections which persistantly do not resolve with your body's own Immune System.\n\nAntibacterial products have been touted to reduce infection from exposure to things you touch, wear, etc. This is valuable for some people with compromised immune systems, but the normal healthy person really has no need for such products.\n\nIn fact, the use of those products and antibiotics are creating stronger more resistant bacteria in our environment. With stronger more resistant bacteria comes the risk of NOT being able to get rid of an infection when one occurs. \n\nExamples of resistant bacteria are MRSA and VRE. These are very difficult infections to fight BECAUSE of their resistance.\n\nSo, to recap, most of the time exposure to bacteria will actually increase your immune systems ability to FIGHT that bacteria later and using too many products to kill bacteria can actually, in the end, hurt us.

To prevent blood clots they recommend loose socks. But in the hospital they give you tight socks. How come?

When sitting for long times, say, in an airplane flight, wearing loose clothes, especially socks, is recommended to prevent blood clots. Yet, to prevent clots, when confined to a hospital bed, very tight fitting socks are provided. Seems inconsistent. Any ideas?

First, I find the first post to be offensive, and if you dont know the answer just dont give it!\n\nSecond your answser - blood clots are caused from the stagnant flow of blood which does not return to the heart. Unlike your arteries which have alot of muscle in them, your veins rely on compressions of skeletal muscle to return blood back to the heart. If you are not moving your feet or legs, blood pools and can clot while it is sitting there.\n\nThe tight socks in the hospital compress the skeletal muscle which help blood to return back to the heart. In flight, your legs can swell, thus tight socks would contrict blood flow and possibly make swelling worse.\n\nNo matter what socks you wear, just do ankle exercises and all will be well! :)

WHy is dark matter not really just warped space time?

People always say dark matter bends light but could it be equally true that a time warp would show the same effects in a time-space continuum? How would you tell the difference since gravity is just exactly that a warping in space-time which we attribute to mass.

General Relativity, which is the modern theory of gravity has some specific ways in which space can be warped: mass, of course, and also is a gravity wave goes by, and I suppose there could be some relic weirdness left over from the Big Bang.\n\nHaving warped space without mass is basically saying that there is gravity in some region of space without a known cause, at least as far as General Relativity goes. Some people have tried to get rid of dark matter with new theories of gravity - this is essentially what you're proposing - but thus far it never really works out.

My boyfriend and I really love each other and want to be together, but it seems like lately all we do is argue

We've been together for a long time and we even have a beautiful 4 year old daughter. We plan to get married within the next year and a half or so (by then we will both be finished with our degrees). I love him with all my heart and I know he loves me too. But, it seems like lately we do nothing but fuss and disagree. It's really getting frustrating and we don't know what to do. We both know that we don't want to be with anyone else. But this is really beginning to take a toll on our relationship because we hardly ever just laugh anymore. It's like we argue so much that the both of us constantly have our guard up and are ready to go off about something. Nowadays, we just stay so uptight. Please help me. I don't know what to do. I don't want to be without him, but I also know that our relationship can't go on this way.

I sincerely wish I had an effective answer for you. It seems that you've both developed a sense of competitiveness toward each other. In other words, you are both trying to upstage one another. This leads to conflict. Give yourselves more room to breathe for awhile. You will realize how much you miss each other once a few days have elapsed. If not, seek proffesional advice.

How do computer virus writers test their viruses? Wouldn't they ruin their own computers testing?

I'm not a virus writer, or trying to learn how to be, I just can't imagine these people destroy dozens of computers for each virus, and software is software - it needs to be tested.

The information about recovery disks is basically correct: Virus writers either manually or automatically restore their computer to an earlier state by reinstalling the software from scratch or by using a recovery system.\n\nHowever, the fastest recovery systems will recover a few gigs of data in couple minutes. The local university here loads it's operating system fresh every time you reboot the computer. It is very fast.\n\nAlso a key point to note: Since the virus writers know what their virus infections do, they also know the best way to restore and fix the damage. I'm sure a lot of virus writers test their viruses and only fix the parts that the virus broke. This would save them the most time.\n\nPS: If I ever meet a virus writer, I'm going to kick him/her in the nuts and call the cops. That shit is wrong. I work in IT and have to fix the damage that virii, spyware, and other crap does to computers.

Which martial art hurts more?

a)jujitsu\nb)ninjitsu

I'm assuming you mean which martial art hurts your opponent more. This is an odd way of looking at these 2 disciplines because both can be very effective without hurting your opponent.\n\nSince a large part of ninjitsu is stealth and assasination by any means necessary, I'm not sure how much it hurts. \n\nJu-jitsu on the other hand includes a variety of joint breaking techiniques and leg locks which can be excrutiating. To give you a strict answer, I would say that Ju-jitsu can hurt more because you'd still be alive to feel the pain. At the hands of a ninja, one would hopefully suffer little and simply be dead.\n\nIt should be noted that the 2 are not mutually exclusive. The techniques of Ju-jitsu are going to be practiced by anyone studying Nin-jitsu as Ju-jitsu is the foundation for open handed grappling and throwing techniques.

What are pass by reference and passby value?

classic example\nSuppose you want to write a function to exchange the values of two integer variables. It seems like that would be fairly trivial. For example, to swap x and y, you could just create an extra int variable, t, and write code that looks like this: \nt = x;\nx = y;\ny = t;\nThat would certainly work. (Try giving x and y initial values & trace through the code if you don't see why the code works. Note that this approach is similar to what you did for the mandel() function in that programming assignment.)\n\nSo, you would probably suppose that you could write a function like this:\n\nvoid swap (int x, int y) {\n \n int t = x;\n \n x = y;\n \n y = t;\n}\nNow, suppose your main() looks like this:\n\nint main(void)\n{\n int a = 5;\n \n int b = 7;\n \n swap( a, b );\n \n printf("a is %d and b is %d\n", a, b);\n \n}\n \nWhat will print? If swap works, we expect "a is 7 and b is 5" to print. But what actually happens? When the function swap is called, the values of a and b are passed into the functions. When swap begins, x is initialized to 5 and y is initialized to 7. The values of x and y are swapped...but the values of a and b (in main) are unaffected. The swap function does not work as written above because the arguments were passed 'by value.'\n\nWith pointers, we can pass the values 'by reference.' Passing by reference means that we'll pass the addresses of the variables instead of the values. Here's how swap and main should be written:\n\nvoid swap ( int *px, int *py) {\n \n int t = *px;\n \n *px = *py;\n \n *py = t;\n \n}\n \nint main(void) \n{\n int a = 5;\n \n int b = 7;\n \n swap( &a, &b );\n \n printf("a is %d and b is %d\n", a, b);\n \n}\n \nNow, the addresses of the variables a and b are passed into swap. In swap, t is set to the value of 'the data that px points to', which is just the value stored at the address of a, which is 5. Then the value stored at address px is changed to the value stored at address py. This sets a to the value of b. Finally, b is set to the value t, which was the value originally stored at a. So, the values of a and b were swapped.

what is upper gi endoscopy?

I have been suffering from an abdomenal pain for two years now , I wa asked to go for UPPER GI ENDOSCOPY .What is it?

A doctor inserts a tube into your mouth, and runs it through your esophogus, through the stomach, and into the duodenom (upper intestines). The doctor then can detect polyps, damage, tumors, etc, and he can also biopsy troubled areas. You will be required to be on a liquid-only diet for 24 hours, and then you can eat or drink nothing after midnight before the procedure. You will also be given laxatives to clear out your digestive system completely.\n\nFor the procedure, you will be given a spray to numb your throat and gag reflex. You will also be given a medication that will make you relaxed but you will still be awake during the procedure. The doctor will need you to help get the tube down. \n\nThe whole thing takes about 30 minutes. You won't be able to eat until the numbing spray wears off. Good luck!

Just so you know... all of your questions are rhetorical in nature. These are all old George Carlin and Steven Wright quotes. Do you seriously think anyone will answer them after giving them any deep thoughts at all? Personally, I think its kinda lame, because a lot of people not from the US will think these are true questions and try really hard to answer them for you. All you are doing is laughing at their hard efforts to help you. Nice holiday spirit lol

I am separated. I have 3 girls who will be with me for X-Mas day. What are some fun activities we could do?

I am the father of three girls age 24,17,14 who will be visting me for the afternoon on Dec 23rd...I live in a very small apartment, so space is and issue...We could go out also....They are all active, fit young ladies. I do not see them often and love them dearly. How can I make the time I spend with them fun, exciting and memorable? Food ideas, activities ? Thanx!

I know this is like two months later. I would love to know how it went. What did you end up doing? Did the girls enjoy their time with you? I have no doubt that you all could have sat under a tree just talking and they would have loved their time with you. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

How can the force of elastic orthodontic bands be measured?

The force exerted by an orthodontic band can be measured by first calculating its force-constant. It can be done in the following way:\n\n(1) Hang a single, unstretched, orthodontic band from a string.\n(2) Along side the band, place a measuring ruler and carefully note and record where the bottom part of the band starts. This will be our starting point.\n(3) Next, hang a couple of known weights such as paperclips, fishing sinkers, etc, and note how far the band stretches with the given weight attached. Perform this task for, say, 5 to 10 different weights. Don't forget to measure and record how far the band stretched for each weight you hang from it.\n(4) Now, using graph paper, make an x-y plot of the data. Mark how much weight was used (y-axis) and how far the band stretched (x-axis).\n(5) Through these data points, a straight line can be drawn which has a calculated slope. This value of the slope, k, is your force-constant. Don't worry, this will make sense in a minute.\n\nTo calculate the force exerted by the band, use the following equation: F = kx, where F is the exerted (restoring) force, x is the distance the band stretched, and k is the force-constant we calculated.\n\nViola! There you go.\n\nDepending on the material, the force-constant k will be different. This was why we had to go through steps (1) to (5).

When we are travelling in a bus, we feel the speed. But, why are we not able to feel the speed of earth?

It is true to say that you cannot feel the "speed" (velocity) of a bus when moving at a constant velocity - - but only in a "perfect" universe - - i.e., no "contact" between the bus and its environment. In reality, you probably perceive high velocity versus low velocity due to changes in vibration, bumps in the road, "wind" whistling, motor engine noise of the bus, etc.\n\nNot only is the earth moving at "constant" velocity (technically, its velocity is decreasing at an extremely low rate; slowing down only as measured over billions of years) - - its "interaction" with its "environment" (in solar system space) is virtually zero.

Which part of the human body that has no blood supply?

Hair, once it leaves the folicle, has no blood supply. Nails are a form of hair and have no blood supply once they leave the root. Bone which is very dense has either a blood supply (marrow) or is bathed in nearby blood supplying needed oxygen. Young caisson workers (building tunnels under rivers at elevated air pressure) were prone to bone embrittlement if depressurized too fast too often because expanding nitrogen from their denser bone ends prevented fresh oxygen from entering thus causing bone necrosis. Teeth have a blood supply unless you have had a root canal (0ouch!). Parts of the eye have poor blood supply and no veins and need oxygen from the air. The body can take in about 10% of the oxygen needed through the skin.

How high will gold go per oz. in US dollars?

Impossible to accurately predict but my guess would be not much more.\n\nWe have recently seen that the first signs of selling could lead to a sudden drop:\nhttp://news.ft.com/cms/s/9a0be6b4-6ea1-11da-9544-0000779e2340.html\nand central banks also want to reduce their gold levels in the long term.\n\nSome people also believe that there is often less demand for gold after Christmas, so I'm not optimistic for gold in the new year. If I had to put a figure on it, my wild guess would be a drop to $480 by the end of January and then lower after that. This is pure speculation, however.

Yes. Technical writers are also interested in writing something with the intended reader in mind, meaning they change the way it is written, depending on who will read it and the context in which they will read it.\nPreviously anyone with these qualities could get a job in this field. Nowadays, employers look for people who are trained as technical writers.

what is the cutoff date for selective service?

in other words, when can i stop worrying about being drafted?

You are required to be registered with the selective service between the age of 18 and 25. However if a draft were to be constituted in the US, current selective service reforms suggest that a lottery would be held with young men turning 20 up first. \n\nThe likelihood of being drafted in the US depends on many factors. First and foremost is the need for more soldiers. With the current situation the US is in, it remains unlikely that a draft would be issued. However world events could quickly change that. \n\nAll in all, you can never fully "stop worrying" about being drafted. If a crisis were to warrant it, anyone (traditionally only males) could be drafted. It would start with those turning 20 within that year, and spread out to affect those young down to 18 years old and upwards toward 25. Local draft boards would be the deciding body as to whether you were to be drafted or not if you fell within the age specifications. If the need were there, those older than 25 could also be drafted.

when Jesus comes back what color will he be?

this may sound like an odd question but it was asked to me and i would like to hear other answers on the subject

Considering all that I've read on the topic from multiple sources, multiple religions, and various ideologies, I've come up with this concept.\n\nJesus, by his very nature, would appear to everyone differently, in one of two forms.\n\nEither he would appear exactly as someone would want/expect him to, or he would appear as is best to humble and teach someone.\n\nIf he were to appear the same to everyone, and he was certainly going to appear as a human man, he would likely appear as a perfect blend of every race and culture on Earth.

how much longer do you think america can stay as a the most powerful country in the world?

That all depends on what faction of power you are speaking of. If you are talking about militarily it will be a long time before we are surpassed. If you are talking about technology and economy we are already going to the weak side. Asian countries are more disciplined and work harder for what they have and the work ethics here in America are terrible. People want a free ride and that will be our demise. Our goverment should not have to be the driving force behind our economy and style of life. When and if people start taking responibility for their actions and work hard again this country will turn around. Until then we will continue to fall apart at the seams that once made our country strong.

A fun little brain teaser...?

Prove the following:\n\nIf a circle inscribed into a right triangle has a radius of integral value, then the sides of the triangle must also be of integral value.

well the radius of the inscribed circle is r=S/p, where S is the area of the triangle (b*c/2) and p is the semiperimetre ((a+b+c)/2); so r=bc/(a+b+c), where b,c are the sides of the triangle and a is the hypotenuse.\nif r is an integral, then a+b+c divides bc, so b and c are of integral type.

This sounds a lot like a warning that AVG would provide. I suppose others do as well but in fact that is exactly the warning AVG provides. I have noticed that sometimes at least with AVG it has trouble getting automatic updates. If you are using AVG go to the control center and go to Update Manager and click update then select your source as internet, if it doesn't work at first try again in an hour or two and it should eventually work.\n\nIf you aren't using AVG I can't give you any specific instructions but try to use your anti-virus program's manual update feature.

black holes?

if black holes can absorb matter and light, is there an exit where all the absorbed matter and light are emitted?

The way a black hole works is that it compresses a lot of mass into a single point, giving it an infinite density. What makes a black hole is the concentration of mass and gravity into such a small volume. This means that as more matter gets sucked in all the matter gets compressed into a single point.\n\nWhat exactly happens at this point, we don't know, and we think that the laws of physics as we know them break down to some degree.

What is Vlad the Impaler's claim to fame?

Give background and references, please.

Vlad Tepes Dracula, the historical figure who inspired Bram Stoker for his novel, is definitely less known. The centennial of the gothic masterpiece provides us with a good pretext to dive back into the life of this machiavellian fifteenth century leader - an initiative that will enable us to better appreciate the work of Stoker.\n\nVlad became quite known for his brutal punishment techniques; he often ordered people to be skinned, boiled, decapitated, blinded, strangled, hanged, burned, roasted, hacked, nailed, buried alive, stabbed, etc. He also liked to cut off noses, ears, sexual organs and limbs. But his favorite method was impalement on stakes, hence the surname "Tepes" which means "The Impaler" in the Romanian language. Even the Turks referred to him as "Kaziglu Bey," meaning "The Impaler Prince." It is this technique he used in 1457, 1459 and 1460 against Transylvanian merchants who had ignored his trade laws. The raids he led against the German Saxons of Transylvania were also acts of proto-nationalism in order to protect and favour the Wallachian commerce activities.
