6,500	6Business & Finance	Why was the Standard oil comapny of USA split into many small comapnies.?	If u read the oil history,u will come to know what was standard oil comapany.	Because by 1890 Standard Oil controlled over 90% of the oil supply in the US. Otherwise known as a monopoly. The Sherman Anti-Trust act passed in that same year. In 1911 the US Supreme court ordered that the company be broken up into 34 smaller companies due to their unreasonable monopolistic practices.

6,504	3Education & Reference	Is it true that almost anything can become a holiday if Congress passes it?	I found a bizarre holiday website. Some of the holidays listed are called "National" holidays. For example, January 11 is National Step in a Puddle and Splash your Friend Day. Did Congress actually do this?	No. All you need are a good publicist, and some gullible friends. I assure you that Congress did not pass any law enacting "National Take Your Daughter to Work Day" but it was mentioned in a magazine.\n\nThat alone was enought to get a few suckers to go along.

6,520	6Business & Finance	what is a better fund than VUG for a Roth IRA?		VFINX\n\nthis is the vanguard 500 index fund. it tracks the S&P 500 and basically gives you the same results as "the market". it is low-cost, relatively low-risk, and you don't have to think about it. Just put your yearly contribution into it every year, and you should do just fine. not amazing, but you won't get destroyed as long as you're in it for the long haul.

6,523	6Business & Finance	HOW DO I RESEST TEMPTATION?		Resisting temptation is a tough thing to do and can only be done through prayer and reliance on the Lord Jesus Christ. I find myself struggling with temptations, but have to keep myself aware why Jesus gave His life for me (as well as everybody else).\n\nBeing held accountable for your actions is a big way to avoid temptation. If you can, join a bible study and let people know that you are having trouble with temptation. They should understand and be willing to help you along your journey. Take a look at this quote:\n\nEcclesiastes 4:10 NLT\n\n"If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But people who are alone when they fall are in real trouble."\n\n\nFellowship is very important when it comes to faith. I hope this helps! Good luck!
6,524	4Computers & Internet	How do I point domain.com to domain1.com using a CNAME record in DNS?	I am trying to point domain.com to domain1.com using a CNAME record in the DNS zone file. I understand the A record needs to be placed there, as when I remove it and sync the DNS servers I get resolving issues. However, the www, test, and dev CNAME entries I put in the zone file resolve just fine.\n\nHow can I go about doing this?	You have to make sure, you have set an full qualified domain name ending with a dot.\n\nE.g.\n\nWithin SOA Record for domain example.yahoo.com. you have a IN A record for test1 like\n\ntest1 IN A 10.0.0.1\n\nand you have some cname records\n\ntest2 CNAME test1\ntest3 CNAME example.yahoo.com\ntest4 CNAME example.yahoo.com.\n\nthen \n\ntest2 will refer to test1.example.yahoo.com.\ntest3 will refer to example.yahoo.com.example.yahoo.com.\n\nand finally\n\ntest4 will refer to example.yahoo.com.\n\n\nThe dot at then end of a domainname is important and makes the difference between a relative and an absolut path.

6,536	9Politics & Government	what is the legal status of someone ages 18-21 in the state of California?		The question is a little vague, but here goes:\n\nAs the former poster said, you're an "adult" at 18 in California. You can enter into contracts, buy cigarettes, and be housed in county jail when you break the law. However, you cannot purchase or consume alcohol, or drive a motor vehicle with any alcohol in your blood. You can vote, and you can enlist in the military (think many of these things are the same in all states).\n\nAt 21, you can purchase and consume alcohol, and it would even be legal for you to drive with less than a .08% blood alcohol level (except in a few situations). Right off the top of my head, the only difference between the two ages is the 21 year old can buy booze...there may be others, but they're escaping me at the moment.

6,542	3Education & Reference	what is a convoy?		A team of truckers who have bonded together to travel to a certain destination together. Could be as few as 4-5 trucks to possibly 100's or more. These days, convoys are organized to make a political stance or for charitable causes..(Key word: organized). Renegade truck convoys are rare this day in time...too many corporate owned trucks on the roads, many more restrictions on drivers than in the 70's and basic congestion makes it nearly impossible. You're more likely to see a convoy of military trucks on the highways and interstates.

6,547	1Science & Mathematics	What evidence is there to show that the universe is a open system, if it is?	I have heard from most that the universe is considered a closed system.	"open" and "closed" systems usually refer to the exchange of something, usually energy or matter, between a system and its external environment.\n\nfor example, some hot liquid in a tightly-closed thermos bottle could be considered a closed system since it (approximately) cannot exchange matter or thermal energy with the outside world.\n\nit all depends on how you define "universe". if you define it to mean absolutely everything that exists, then it's reasonable to treat it as a closed system, since there is nothing else for it to exchange something with!\n\nif you define the universe as "the stuff we can see" then it's possible that there is something Way Out There that nobody's detected and that is interacting with the visible universe.\n\none bit of evidence for this might be the expansion of the universe, which is measured via the Doppler red-shift of various galaxies around us. according to general relativity and the details of the big bang theory, the universe (defined as above - that which we can see) should be expanding at a much greater rate than it is, if it is a closed system.\n\nthere are several postulated explanations for this - one that has gained recent press is the theory of "dark matter" which, in its simplest sense, means "stuff we cannot see that is between us and what we can see". to date there is no hard evidence for the existence of dark matter.\n\nanother possible explanation is that the universe - that which we can see - is not closed and is interacting with some external agent. this is perfectly reasonable, as our telescopes have practical limitations and cannot see off into eternity. so, this does not constitute hard evidence for an "open system" model of the universe, but it remains an open question.
6,548	9Politics & Government	Are unions a remnant of the past?	Do unions today do more harm than good? Should their powers be reduced? Should strikes (such as the current NY transit strike) be forbidden by law? What about non-unionized industries (such as software) are they safe from unions or is it a matter of time? Is it only "working-class" positions that need a union? Opinions?	The definition of Trade Union, according to Wikipedia is:\n\n"A union (labor union in American English; trade union in Commonwealth English) is an organisation formed by workers. Most typically, a single union will represent workers in a particular industry or craft, within all or part of a country, and will be organised to improve and defend wages, benefits, and working conditions. \n\nThe most important part of a Union is that last part, "improve and defend wages, benefits, and working conditions". \n\nI have a centre-left political opinion, in that I believe in Social help to those who need it. Because of that I believe in Unions, and there commitment to there members.\n\nHowever sometimes, a Union is just proving a point, and does harm to the industry. For instance, the Fire Brigade in UK striked for some time, and the Union wanted a 30% payrise. This was completely unacceptable, but you have to negotiate. This Union was not willing to accept change to there organisation. \n\nYou need to look at both sides of the story.

6,550	5Sports	Can you toenails call off from the trama of running a marathon.?		If you mean that toenails can fall off, yes, they can. Ofte times the repeaded pounding your feet take happens when the shoe rubs against your toenail(s) for 26.2 miles, which often bruised the toe and causes your toenail to fall off. You can buy caps to put on your toes while your run, but I can imagine those might be just as uncomfortable as banging your toenail every step. My advise would be to make sure you buy the right type of running shoe, and go to an expert store where you can talk to other distance runners before purchasing a shoe.
6,551	3Education & Reference	HOW MANY COUNTRIES THERE ARE IN EUROPEAN UNION?		25.
6,552	3Education & Reference	what's the definition of la kart?		a la carte is a french term which literally means on the Menu(card), but in plain English it means on its own. So you only get that individual order and nothing more.
6,553	1Science & Mathematics	Do any odd perfect numbers exist?		I personally think they don't exist. Here's what Wikipedia has to say, "It is unknown whether there are any odd perfect numbers. Various results have been obtained, but none that have helped to locate one or otherwise resolve the question of their existence. Recently, Carl Pomerance and Joshua Zelinsky have both presented heuristics which strongly suggest that no odd perfect numbers exist."
6,554	3Education & Reference	how do you do better in school and get good grades?		Get interested! And if the topic/teacher is too boring think how you could teach it to someone else, your friend maybe and get him/her interested. Find interesting stuff related to it on the net. Be in charge of your own education! I know many people who did not study a lot, but read a lot of stuff, and were simply interested in knowing stuff. For the fun of it. Try it out.... the grades will follow!
6,555	9Politics & Government	Which is the best political system for a heterogenious soceity/country?	Are the political systems currently followed enough for today and the coming generations, should we evolve new ones? \nif so, which are all the possible successfull sources we can derive them from.	A meaning of heterogeneous is: “consisting of elements that are not of the same kind or nature; the population of the United States is vast and heterogeneous" I’m guessing that this is what you have in mind. \n\nSuch considerations often occur because people aren’t familiar with how the system within the United States actually works. Specifically what I’m referring to its fundamental nature to evolve. Most people understand that this system is represented by the Constitution of the United States and that within it formal changing occurs with the Constitutional Amendment process. However, beyond that is the fact that this system has its roots in Common Law and as such supports evolution.\n\nThis occurs from a number of actions but primarily it is by acts of the people. For example, the people lobby for statute law changes and over time such can result in Constitutional Amendment changes. \n\nThen too is such as the people’s negation of the law. When the people are among the jury of a criminal case, they have the power, to judge not only the facts of the case but the application of the law in that single specific case. While today the legal system mostly resists this jury power, up until the 1880s juries were instructed by the judge (of a criminal case) to judge not only the facts of the case, but to also judge the application of the law in that case. If the jury believe the law was wrong they could acquit simply for that reason and can still do so today. This is a power of the people which resides in Common Law going back into the past prior to Magna Carta.\n\nAs the people make a practice of nullifying a specific law, politicians eventually pick up on this and make statute law changes and these will lead eventually to Constitutional Amendments so that Common Law, Statute Law and Constitutional :aw are moving in the same path.\n\nThere is no need for some new approach because over time the people are doing so on their own. And this incorporates new societal and cultural concepts, and yet maintains the roots of the system we live within. That system is a written Constitutional Representative Republic and that is important in that in minimizes the power of the mob majority while protecting the rights of the individual. \n\nProportional representation is becoming popular in some circles here within the United States. However, we are nor a parliament for of system. Such a system rewards those who do not become active enough to win the rewards of the system. If you want to impact the system as a political force, then get active and convince others of your “rightness.” \n\nWe should keep in mind that we are not a democracy. The Founders established a system in which only members of the House of Representatives (the lower house) were elected by the people, and even then only the people of a narrowly defined district. Senators were originally elected by State legislatures (I wish we could get back to that) representing the State itself. The judges were appointed by the executive with advice and consent of the Senate and the President was selected by the Electoral College who’s members were originally selected by the State legislatures. You will notice that the voting of a democracy was really not part of the selection of governmental officials and there is a good reason for that, the Founders feared such a system knowing it would lead to a dictatorship. \n\nAll we need to make this work better is for the people to be proactive at the local, State, and national level.

6,568	9Politics & Government	Is it me or is it funny how the president tyring to take over the world?	Dopr a line and let me know what you think	The Prez "thinks" he has received revelation from God to do what he does. What he does, however, is seek to rearrange the world to suit himself, probably to pay back campaign supporters such as Halliburton and other oil companies. (It certainly isn't Iraq's pickle industry he is seeking, and since bin Laden is apparently still alive, it certainly isn't bin Laden he's seeking, either.) It's not funny by any means. It's expensive. Over 2,000 American soldiers have lost their lives, and several more thousand have been injured and/or maimed. And though the Prez looking like he was trying to guess the number of beans in a jar when he guessed 30,000 Iraqi's had been killed, the number is more like 100,00 -- and that's human beings, not beans. He should bring our heroes back home, as soon as it is safe for them to back out, instead of leaving them there to be picked off, one at a time. (Remember, the American death toll was only about 100 when he staged his photo opportunity aboard an aircraft carrier to declare the war was over. What a phoney.)

6,574	2Health	Is blood cancer curable ?	I want to know whether blood cancer is curable, if it is identified in the beginning stage itself.\n\nWhat about hereditary blood cancer ? Is this curable or only death is the end ?	Short answer: After treatment, blood cancer can go away for a long time and possibly never come back. When this happens, patients may say they are cured. \n\nLong answer:\nLeukemia may be the most widely known blood cancer, but there are other major blood cancers such as Hodgkins and Non-Hodgkins lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Cancer patients undergo treatments (chemotherapy, radiation, alternative therapy etc) so that they can put their cancer into remission. Remission means that the disease has disappeared or is no longer growing. After remission cancer can come back, but this varies from case to case. Some cancers are called "very curable" because they respond well to treatment and often stay away after remission. Once cancer has been in remission for a long time, many patients will say they are cured. Doctors usually avoid saying that cancer is "cured" because they don't want to promise that the cancer will never come back. However, according to one radiologist, the longer a cancer is in remission the less likely it will gome back.\n\nIn cases where cancer is believed to be hereditary, cancer can still be put into long term or permanent remission. The biggest factors are the type of cancer, the stage and agressiveness of one's particular cancer, and one's overall health.

6,579	6Business & Finance	How do they arrive at the number that represents the DJIA? What is meant by it is up points?	How is the dow jones industrials avg. calculated and when they say it is up so many points what does that mean?	Nice description on ameritrade.com.....\nOne of the best-known market indicators, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, is comprised of 30 leading companies. Calculated by adding the prices of these 30 stocks, the Dow is now considered a figure that indicates the general state of the market. Originally, the Dow divided the sum of the prices of the 30 stocks by 30, giving a true average. However, to be consistent every time a stock split or paid a dividend, the number 30 had to be adjusted. Now, over 100 years later, the sum of the prices of the 30 stocks is divided by a number less than one! Since a $1 movement in the price of a $100 stock counts equally with a $1 movement in the price of a $20 stock, the Dow Jones is considered a price weighted index.\n\n\nCharles Dow designed the average to represent the current business market, which in 1896 included industries such as sugar, leather, tobacco, gas, rubber and coal. Today the DJIA is led by retailers, oil, technology, pharmaceutical and entertainment companies. The only company on the original list that is still included today is General Electric.

6,583	3Education & Reference	Where does the R come from in Mrs???	Mr. = Mister, \nMs.= "Miz", \nMiss = Miss, and \nMrs. = Missus.\n\nI don't get it!	Mrs.\nn. pl. Mmes. (m-däm, -dm)\n1. Used as a courtesy title for a married or widowed woman before the surname or full name of her husband: Mrs. Doe; Mrs. John Doe.\n2. Used as a courtesy title for a married, widowed, or divorced woman before her own surname or full name: Mrs. Doe; Mrs. Jane Doe. See Usage Note at Ms.\n3. Used in informal titles for a married woman to indicate the epitomizing of an attribute or activity: Mrs. Wonderful; Mrs. Organization.\n[Abbreviation of mistress.]\n\nMrs. originated as a contraction of the title "Mistress", the feminine of "Mister" or "Master", which was originally applied to both married and unmarried women. (Similarly, "Ma'am" drops the middle consonant of "Madam.") The title split into "Miss" for unmarried women and "Mrs." for married women during the Victorian era. The term can be found spelt out in the works of Thomas Hardy and others, as "Mis'ess".

6,589	1Science & Mathematics	what is the meaning by the internal magnetic field of the super conductors materials equal zero?		Certain materials, when cooled to very near absolute zero, experience a transition into a region of zero resistance to current flow. Since the goal of having a superconductor is usually to have a greater capacity to carry current with a smaller cross sectional area, you necessarily experience a greater magnetic field. Any current produces a magnetic field that is related to that current by the Biot-Savart law.

6,595	0Society & Culture	Should an actively using parent be allowed to see their child when the other parent does not use drugs...?	and is trying to raise the child in a drug free environment?	It sounds to me like you need an advocate to press your case. If you can't afford an attorney, you should seek out whatever free legal advice your community might offer and talk to someone. I can't imagine any judge thinking that parental drug use is no big deal. But family courts and child welfare systems are serious bureaucracies that the average citizen can rarely navigate--even when there's no trouble. Good luck.
6,596	0Society & Culture	How is an exorcism performed?		Simply, under the authority of God.\n\nThis question presupposes that 1) there exists a supernatural realm, and that 2) humans may be able to somehow affect this spiritual dimension. The Judeo-Christian worldview allows for such presuppositions. An atheistic or non-theistic, or a solely physical perspective of the world, does not. Such a position would either posit exorcism as fanciful or merely matter of psychological distress.\n\nIf indeed something is spiritual, from the Christian world view, the foundation of approaching the matter is understand that we human beings are both physical and spiritual beings. An exorcism may be required when one is being harassed or "possessed" by demonic forces. Because this is a spiritual battle over the soul of a person, the weapons for "battle" is of a spiritual nature (Eph 6).\n\nChristianity holds that Jesus (God the Son) has all authority over heaven and earth (Phil 2:6-11, see first link below). If that is true, that means only Jesus can have authority over demons and angels. One of the amazing truths about the Christian life is that those who identify with Christ and who profess to be in Jesus ARE GIVEN this authority (Luke 9:1-2) by Jesus. The sad fact of most Christians is that they do not realize the full power and authority given to them in Jesus' name.\n\nPrayer and fasting is very important. Exorcism is not formulaic - you don't follow a strict procedure. It's not about waving a magic wand, sprinkling water, etc. And unfortunately, I will do it no justice in this brief response.\n\nBut what can be said is that it begins with God and ends with God. Apart from God, there is no true freedom, and especially, spiritual freedom. Jesus provides the basis for our freedom; hence, to know how to appropriate the power of the cross and the resurrection is foundational to knowing how to perform an exorcism.

6,598	1Science & Mathematics	What is the universe expanding into.?		Nobody really knows for sure.\n\nThere's a theory that the universe is expanding in a spherical shape and will continue to expand until it reaches maximum entropy. At that point all of the energy and matter in the universe will be equally distributed and the universe will no longer be able to support life.\n\nThere's another theory that the universe will expand (again, roughly in the shape of a sphere) until all of the galaxies exhaust their kinetic energy. At that point the universe will begin contracting. When the contracting is complete a singularity containing all of the mass in the universe will form and explode in a big bang.\n\nIf you think about it, if the latter theory is true then it's possible that the universe has expanded and collapsed an infinite number of times in the past!

HOW DO I RESEST TEMPTATION?

Resisting temptation is a tough thing to do and can only be done through prayer and reliance on the Lord Jesus Christ. I find myself struggling with temptations, but have to keep myself aware why Jesus gave His life for me (as well as everybody else).\n\nBeing held accountable for your actions is a big way to avoid temptation. If you can, join a bible study and let people know that you are having trouble with temptation. They should understand and be willing to help you along your journey. Take a look at this quote:\n\nEcclesiastes 4:10 NLT\n\n"If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But people who are alone when they fall are in real trouble."\n\n\nFellowship is very important when it comes to faith. I hope this helps! Good luck!

what is the legal status of someone ages 18-21 in the state of California?

The question is a little vague, but here goes:\n\nAs the former poster said, you're an "adult" at 18 in California. You can enter into contracts, buy cigarettes, and be housed in county jail when you break the law. However, you cannot purchase or consume alcohol, or drive a motor vehicle with any alcohol in your blood. You can vote, and you can enlist in the military (think many of these things are the same in all states).\n\nAt 21, you can purchase and consume alcohol, and it would even be legal for you to drive with less than a .08% blood alcohol level (except in a few situations). Right off the top of my head, the only difference between the two ages is the 21 year old can buy booze...there may be others, but they're escaping me at the moment.

What evidence is there to show that the universe is a open system, if it is?

I have heard from most that the universe is considered a closed system.

"open" and "closed" systems usually refer to the exchange of something, usually energy or matter, between a system and its external environment.\n\nfor example, some hot liquid in a tightly-closed thermos bottle could be considered a closed system since it (approximately) cannot exchange matter or thermal energy with the outside world.\n\nit all depends on how you define "universe". if you define it to mean absolutely everything that exists, then it's reasonable to treat it as a closed system, since there is nothing else for it to exchange something with!\n\nif you define the universe as "the stuff we can see" then it's possible that there is something Way Out There that nobody's detected and that is interacting with the visible universe.\n\none bit of evidence for this might be the expansion of the universe, which is measured via the Doppler red-shift of various galaxies around us. according to general relativity and the details of the big bang theory, the universe (defined as above - that which we can see) should be expanding at a much greater rate than it is, if it is a closed system.\n\nthere are several postulated explanations for this - one that has gained recent press is the theory of "dark matter" which, in its simplest sense, means "stuff we cannot see that is between us and what we can see". to date there is no hard evidence for the existence of dark matter.\n\nanother possible explanation is that the universe - that which we can see - is not closed and is interacting with some external agent. this is perfectly reasonable, as our telescopes have practical limitations and cannot see off into eternity. so, this does not constitute hard evidence for an "open system" model of the universe, but it remains an open question.

Are unions a remnant of the past?

Do unions today do more harm than good? Should their powers be reduced? Should strikes (such as the current NY transit strike) be forbidden by law? What about non-unionized industries (such as software) are they safe from unions or is it a matter of time? Is it only "working-class" positions that need a union? Opinions?

The definition of Trade Union, according to Wikipedia is:\n\n"A union (labor union in American English; trade union in Commonwealth English) is an organisation formed by workers. Most typically, a single union will represent workers in a particular industry or craft, within all or part of a country, and will be organised to improve and defend wages, benefits, and working conditions. \n\nThe most important part of a Union is that last part, "improve and defend wages, benefits, and working conditions". \n\nI have a centre-left political opinion, in that I believe in Social help to those who need it. Because of that I believe in Unions, and there commitment to there members.\n\nHowever sometimes, a Union is just proving a point, and does harm to the industry. For instance, the Fire Brigade in UK striked for some time, and the Union wanted a 30% payrise. This was completely unacceptable, but you have to negotiate. This Union was not willing to accept change to there organisation. \n\nYou need to look at both sides of the story.

Can you toenails call off from the trama of running a marathon.?

If you mean that toenails can fall off, yes, they can. Ofte times the repeaded pounding your feet take happens when the shoe rubs against your toenail(s) for 26.2 miles, which often bruised the toe and causes your toenail to fall off. You can buy caps to put on your toes while your run, but I can imagine those might be just as uncomfortable as banging your toenail every step. My advise would be to make sure you buy the right type of running shoe, and go to an expert store where you can talk to other distance runners before purchasing a shoe.

Which is the best political system for a heterogenious soceity/country?

Are the political systems currently followed enough for today and the coming generations, should we evolve new ones? \nif so, which are all the possible successfull sources we can derive them from.

A meaning of heterogeneous is: “consisting of elements that are not of the same kind or nature; the population of the United States is vast and heterogeneous" I’m guessing that this is what you have in mind. \n\nSuch considerations often occur because people aren’t familiar with how the system within the United States actually works. Specifically what I’m referring to its fundamental nature to evolve. Most people understand that this system is represented by the Constitution of the United States and that within it formal changing occurs with the Constitutional Amendment process. However, beyond that is the fact that this system has its roots in Common Law and as such supports evolution.\n\nThis occurs from a number of actions but primarily it is by acts of the people. For example, the people lobby for statute law changes and over time such can result in Constitutional Amendment changes. \n\nThen too is such as the people’s negation of the law. When the people are among the jury of a criminal case, they have the power, to judge not only the facts of the case but the application of the law in that single specific case. While today the legal system mostly resists this jury power, up until the 1880s juries were instructed by the judge (of a criminal case) to judge not only the facts of the case, but to also judge the application of the law in that case. If the jury believe the law was wrong they could acquit simply for that reason and can still do so today. This is a power of the people which resides in Common Law going back into the past prior to Magna Carta.\n\nAs the people make a practice of nullifying a specific law, politicians eventually pick up on this and make statute law changes and these will lead eventually to Constitutional Amendments so that Common Law, Statute Law and Constitutional :aw are moving in the same path.\n\nThere is no need for some new approach because over time the people are doing so on their own. And this incorporates new societal and cultural concepts, and yet maintains the roots of the system we live within. That system is a written Constitutional Representative Republic and that is important in that in minimizes the power of the mob majority while protecting the rights of the individual. \n\nProportional representation is becoming popular in some circles here within the United States. However, we are nor a parliament for of system. Such a system rewards those who do not become active enough to win the rewards of the system. If you want to impact the system as a political force, then get active and convince others of your “rightness.” \n\nWe should keep in mind that we are not a democracy. The Founders established a system in which only members of the House of Representatives (the lower house) were elected by the people, and even then only the people of a narrowly defined district. Senators were originally elected by State legislatures (I wish we could get back to that) representing the State itself. The judges were appointed by the executive with advice and consent of the Senate and the President was selected by the Electoral College who’s members were originally selected by the State legislatures. You will notice that the voting of a democracy was really not part of the selection of governmental officials and there is a good reason for that, the Founders feared such a system knowing it would lead to a dictatorship. \n\nAll we need to make this work better is for the people to be proactive at the local, State, and national level.

Is it me or is it funny how the president tyring to take over the world?

Dopr a line and let me know what you think

The Prez "thinks" he has received revelation from God to do what he does. What he does, however, is seek to rearrange the world to suit himself, probably to pay back campaign supporters such as Halliburton and other oil companies. (It certainly isn't Iraq's pickle industry he is seeking, and since bin Laden is apparently still alive, it certainly isn't bin Laden he's seeking, either.) It's not funny by any means. It's expensive. Over 2,000 American soldiers have lost their lives, and several more thousand have been injured and/or maimed. And though the Prez looking like he was trying to guess the number of beans in a jar when he guessed 30,000 Iraqi's had been killed, the number is more like 100,00 -- and that's human beings, not beans. He should bring our heroes back home, as soon as it is safe for them to back out, instead of leaving them there to be picked off, one at a time. (Remember, the American death toll was only about 100 when he staged his photo opportunity aboard an aircraft carrier to declare the war was over. What a phoney.)

Is blood cancer curable ?

I want to know whether blood cancer is curable, if it is identified in the beginning stage itself.\n\nWhat about hereditary blood cancer ? Is this curable or only death is the end ?

Short answer: After treatment, blood cancer can go away for a long time and possibly never come back. When this happens, patients may say they are cured. \n\nLong answer:\nLeukemia may be the most widely known blood cancer, but there are other major blood cancers such as Hodgkins and Non-Hodgkins lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Cancer patients undergo treatments (chemotherapy, radiation, alternative therapy etc) so that they can put their cancer into remission. Remission means that the disease has disappeared or is no longer growing. After remission cancer can come back, but this varies from case to case. Some cancers are called "very curable" because they respond well to treatment and often stay away after remission. Once cancer has been in remission for a long time, many patients will say they are cured. Doctors usually avoid saying that cancer is "cured" because they don't want to promise that the cancer will never come back. However, according to one radiologist, the longer a cancer is in remission the less likely it will gome back.\n\nIn cases where cancer is believed to be hereditary, cancer can still be put into long term or permanent remission. The biggest factors are the type of cancer, the stage and agressiveness of one's particular cancer, and one's overall health.

How do they arrive at the number that represents the DJIA? What is meant by it is up points?

How is the dow jones industrials avg. calculated and when they say it is up so many points what does that mean?

Nice description on ameritrade.com.....\nOne of the best-known market indicators, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, is comprised of 30 leading companies. Calculated by adding the prices of these 30 stocks, the Dow is now considered a figure that indicates the general state of the market. Originally, the Dow divided the sum of the prices of the 30 stocks by 30, giving a true average. However, to be consistent every time a stock split or paid a dividend, the number 30 had to be adjusted. Now, over 100 years later, the sum of the prices of the 30 stocks is divided by a number less than one! Since a $1 movement in the price of a $100 stock counts equally with a $1 movement in the price of a $20 stock, the Dow Jones is considered a price weighted index.\n\n\nCharles Dow designed the average to represent the current business market, which in 1896 included industries such as sugar, leather, tobacco, gas, rubber and coal. Today the DJIA is led by retailers, oil, technology, pharmaceutical and entertainment companies. The only company on the original list that is still included today is General Electric.

what do you do with your toenail clippings?

I put them in the bin, like any civilised person. I guess you're asking because somebody leaves them on the carpet or the like for you to pick up, in which case they are officially a slob :)

what is the meaning by the internal magnetic field of the super conductors materials equal zero?

Certain materials, when cooled to very near absolute zero, experience a transition into a region of zero resistance to current flow. Since the goal of having a superconductor is usually to have a greater capacity to carry current with a smaller cross sectional area, you necessarily experience a greater magnetic field. Any current produces a magnetic field that is related to that current by the Biot-Savart law.

how can i böock a mail from someone who i donnot want to get a mail from?

no spam when in doubt,please refer to community guidelines

Without having any idea what software or operating system you are using, I can't say for sure. Most e-mail readers/services offer this function though. Try searching for "spam filter", "junk email", or "rule" in your software's help file or web service's FAQ.

It really depends on what email client or web service you are using. Lots of times, CTRL - or CTRL + will shrink or enlarge the font.

What do most people want for Christmas?

Make sure its not to long because last time someone sent me 2 pages (probably) worth for a question.

I only want all of my family together again.And i think i am getting my wish.I recently had brain tumor surgery, and i am 29.I am ok, but it made me realize alot of important stuff. It made me and my sister talk again after 2 1/2 years. Material comes and goes, its what matters in your heart. I do not have alot of money now, not working, and it seems weird to not buy alot, but every second that goes by i am now living for the better. Love those close to your heart, because you don't know when they could be gone, or yoursself. Peace and happiness is my wish.

when will gmail get off of beta testing?

They seem to have put Beta into the mail service name permanently :) while there has been a lot of speculation about when this will be removed, there seems to be no end to it. \nNo one knows for sure .\n\nHowever, that should not stop someone from getting an account invite. They have allowed every user to invite 100 ppl onto gmail, so the invites are freely available. \n\nThey seem to be adding a lot of features into it regularly like auto-responder, multiple language support, RSS etc.

Should an actively using parent be allowed to see their child when the other parent does not use drugs...?

and is trying to raise the child in a drug free environment?

It sounds to me like you need an advocate to press your case. If you can't afford an attorney, you should seek out whatever free legal advice your community might offer and talk to someone. I can't imagine any judge thinking that parental drug use is no big deal. But family courts and child welfare systems are serious bureaucracies that the average citizen can rarely navigate--even when there's no trouble. Good luck.

How is an exorcism performed?

Simply, under the authority of God.\n\nThis question presupposes that 1) there exists a supernatural realm, and that 2) humans may be able to somehow affect this spiritual dimension. The Judeo-Christian worldview allows for such presuppositions. An atheistic or non-theistic, or a solely physical perspective of the world, does not. Such a position would either posit exorcism as fanciful or merely matter of psychological distress.\n\nIf indeed something is spiritual, from the Christian world view, the foundation of approaching the matter is understand that we human beings are both physical and spiritual beings. An exorcism may be required when one is being harassed or "possessed" by demonic forces. Because this is a spiritual battle over the soul of a person, the weapons for "battle" is of a spiritual nature (Eph 6).\n\nChristianity holds that Jesus (God the Son) has all authority over heaven and earth (Phil 2:6-11, see first link below). If that is true, that means only Jesus can have authority over demons and angels. One of the amazing truths about the Christian life is that those who identify with Christ and who profess to be in Jesus ARE GIVEN this authority (Luke 9:1-2) by Jesus. The sad fact of most Christians is that they do not realize the full power and authority given to them in Jesus' name.\n\nPrayer and fasting is very important. Exorcism is not formulaic - you don't follow a strict procedure. It's not about waving a magic wand, sprinkling water, etc. And unfortunately, I will do it no justice in this brief response.\n\nBut what can be said is that it begins with God and ends with God. Apart from God, there is no true freedom, and especially, spiritual freedom. Jesus provides the basis for our freedom; hence, to know how to appropriate the power of the cross and the resurrection is foundational to knowing how to perform an exorcism.

Does the Mavericks have a chance to beat the Spurs this year in the playoffs ?

No they have no answer to Duncan. There D is poor and they could not outscore Kobe in the third quarter. 62 points for Kobe and the Mavericks at that time only had 61 points. Kobe did not even play the 4th quarter, uncalled for.

What is the universe expanding into.?

Nobody really knows for sure.\n\nThere's a theory that the universe is expanding in a spherical shape and will continue to expand until it reaches maximum entropy. At that point all of the energy and matter in the universe will be equally distributed and the universe will no longer be able to support life.\n\nThere's another theory that the universe will expand (again, roughly in the shape of a sphere) until all of the galaxies exhaust their kinetic energy. At that point the universe will begin contracting. When the contracting is complete a singularity containing all of the mass in the universe will form and explode in a big bang.\n\nIf you think about it, if the latter theory is true then it's possible that the universe has expanded and collapsed an infinite number of times in the past!

Is it possible to have a just friend relationship with a person that from the get go wasw more then a friend.?

No it is not. Once you have had a relationship with someone you can not go back to just friends. You either have hard feelings you can not let go of or you will revisit the past on a occasion.
