6,708	5Sports	How far will the Cincinnati Bengals go this football season?		This really all depends on how well the Cincinnati Bengals handle the pressure of the playoffs and how well the defense plays. Cincinnati Bengals rank 11th in total rushing yards, 6th in total passing yards and 4th in total Offense yards. Making them among the best offensive teams in the NFL today and the team is still young and learning how to work with each other.\n\nOn the other hand the defense has been a nightmare. Only good thing going for the defense is the fumbles recovered and interceptions they have made this year, which plays a big role in why they are where they are now. The defense has allowed a total 1522 rushing yards, allowed 2735 passing yards and are ranked 24th in the NFL overall in yards allowed.\n\nIn order to get to the SuperBowl the defense must step up and make the big plays, there is no room for error in the playoffs. I think they can get the 2nd seed in the AFC, with games left with only one team that has a winning record and good team. The other two games are against the coachless Lions and the Bills who are both no where near the playoffs. I like the Cincinnati Bengals chances of going to the SuperBowl and winning it, just don't bet on it, unless the defense comes to play.
6,709	5Sports	What is the greatest sports moment ever?

6,719	2Health	How do I stop my husband from snoring?	It's gotten really bad lately, and it keeps me up at night. I yell "stop snoring", kick him, and that will make him stop for about 2 minutes, but then it starts again. (He never remembers my yelling or kicks in the morning, so I don't feel bad.) He never snored in 8 years of marriage until 6 months ago. He's in his mid 30's, is extremely fit and is at or below his ideal weight, and has had no change in health. He says the snoring is because he's "exhausted." It's true that he is working longer hours these days. But in any case, the snoring needs to stop! I'm going nuts!

6,754	1Science & Mathematics	If it is 0 degrees and the weatherman says it will be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be tomorrow?		It depends what degrees you're talking about.

But 0 degrees Celsius is also 273 degrees Kelvin, and twice as cold would be 136.5 degrees Kelvin. I guess in this case, the units of measure really matter.

6,757	2Health	what do you do yourself to cut down your appetite?		The basics of most nutrition books\nDon’t starve yourself. That’s the worst thing you can do in a diet because it slows down your metabolism and your body starts getting more fat from your food intake since, fat is the bodies fastest and easiest type of nutrition[not the healthiest though]. The reason this happen is because this helped us when we were no doing so good as hunters and gathers to keep us alive a bit longer. \n\nBefore I continue let me explain protein, carbohydrates, and fats.\n\nProtein is easiest described as anything that comes from or was an animal such chicken, fish, sirloin, and milk. \n\nCarbohydrates [carbs] can be found almost in anything else even apples.\nGood carbs:\nApples, wheat bread, sourdough bread, grains, and wheat \nBad carbs:\nWhite bread, hamburger buns, hotdog buns, Doritos, and sodas!\n\nGood fats:\nAvocados, pecans, almonds, and peanut butter \n\nThe ratio in your diet varies but I think a good starting point is something like\n[50%Protien:40%Carbs:10%fat]\n\nThis can sound meaningless. So in plain terms consume only good fats [portioned] and you should be okay. Something like a handful of almonds, or a table spoon of peanut butter should be consumed three times a day [separately. not consecutively]. \n\nThe reason this is relevant to your question of decreasing your appetite is because you are required to intake around 1200 calories for a 180lb person [Proteins are 4 calories, Carbs are 4 calories, Fats are 9 calories] so theoretically if you eat less fats and more proteins you will have a less appetite because you will eat more. \n\nAnother nifty advice is that your body turns carbohydrates into fat not fat itself. That’s how the Adkins basically works. If you consume more proteins and less carbs you will lose weight. I leave to you to decide if this is good you.\n\nI would also advice you to split up your day into 5 meals. [warning: it will feel weird because you are not used to eating this decreased amount. Just keep in mind that you will eat in 3 hour and you will quickly noticed that you will not go hungry and most importantly not feel hungry] if you do feel hungry eat a small snack like an apple or a wrap of peanut butter with a wheat tortilla.\n\nYou are suppose to split up meals because your body can consume a certain amount of nutrition the rest is just wasted and turned into fat [if you have been starving yourself or if you don’t exercise].

6,759	4Computers & Internet	How to format a hard drive in an external enclosure?		As long as the hard drive is plugged in and it shows up in your computer's BIOS (and is given a drive letter) then it doesn't matter where it is... or what enclosure it's contained in.\n\nIf you're using Windows, you should be able to right click on that drive and choose "Format".
6,760	4Computers & Internet	how to update my computer drivers and software?	my computer has graphic card, sound card, printers, scanners, etc. How to update those devices drivers? Windows update donesnt really.	The easiest method I have found for updating drivers is by visiting http://www.driverguide.com. The sign-up is fluff and it gives everyone the same username and password. They have a pretty good search engine for drivers of all types.\n\nThe next best way is to search the manufacturer's site for the drivers. For example:\n\nMost modern video cards fall into only 2 categories:\n1. ATI cards, update at http://www.ati.com \n2. Nvidia cards, update at http://www.nvidia.com\n\nIf you purchased your computer from HP, Gateway, E Machines, Dell or any other large manufacturer you can visit their respective websites and they all have pretty good driver databases that are matched to your specific model of computer.

6,763	2Health	how long is ovalating and how do you know if your ovalation?		Ovulation always occurs during the middle of your cycle. Key things you can look for is a clear, slippery, elastic discharge that signals you are ovulating. If you have a basal thermometer you will also see a rise in your temperature. A good way to track when you are ovulating and whether you are fertile or not is to chart your cervical mucus and temperature. Another thing you can do is use an ovulation microscope which will show when you are ovulating. The best thing to do is to use software in which you can not only chart down your temp and mucus, but also other data including when you have had sexual relations. This software will calculate when your fertile and non-fertile days are, and is a good way to keep track of your periods. I always reccomend femta which is at www.femta.com and ovusoft which is at www.ovusoft.com

6,769	6Business & Finance	.SINCE CUSTOMERS KNOWN THEIR NEED AND WANTS THERE IS NO NEED FOR MARKETING DISCUSS?		Lets assume customers know all the products available in the market place. \n\nMost often there exists similar or substitute products in the market for example the chocolate market, Cadburys vs Nestle or in the soft drinks market Coca Cola vs Pepsi Cola or the car market. How would a potential buyer choose what brand to buy since it’s the same product? To answer this question we must think in marketing terms such as the 4 p’s which are product, price, place and promotion. \n\nPrice communicates a lot about the product such as, expensive means that the product is of the highest quality. Or cheap which can say – buy lots of me but don’t give it to your loved ones as a birthday present. \n\nPromotion is used to get customers to hear about the product and get them to try it. Product promotion is a strategy used to increase sales, increase product/brand awareness or get rid of stock. A product promotion could be a BOGOF (buy one get one free), by one get second half price, money off coupons, etc. These strategies are used to get customers to buy more of your product or simply try it for the first time.\n\nMarketing is the process of exchanging products or the art of persuading people to buy your product. I said exchange because a customer will exchange money for the product they are buying, with so many me too products in the market place a business has to do all it can to convince customers that their product is better than the competition for whatever reason, that’s the art of Marketing. Coming up with the right products, setting the right prices, selling the product in the best and most convenient places (having the product available for purchase), communicating the product to the public and convincing customers that your product is better then the competition is the art of selling.

6,774	2Health	what are the main clinical features of gilbert syndrome?		Gilbert's syndrome: The only significant abnormality is mild unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, which is important clinically only because this disorder is often misdiagnosed as chronic hepatitis. The disorder, presumably lifelong, may affect as many as 3 to 5% of the population and is most often detected serendipitously in young adults with unrelated nonspecific complaints. Some family members may be affected, but a clear genetic pattern is often difficult to establish.\n\nThe pathogenesis is uncertain. There appear to be complex defects in the liver's uptake of plasma bilirubin, which usually fluctuates between 2 and 5 mg/dL (34 and 86 µmol/L) and tends to increase with fasting and other stresses. In addition, glucuronyl transferase activity is low; therefore, the disorder may be related to Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II. Many patients also have mildly diminished RBC survival, but this is insufficient to explain the hyperbilirubinemia.\n\nGilbert's syndrome can be easily differentiated from hepatitis by normal liver function tests, absence of urinary bile, and predominantly unconjugated bilirubin fractionation. Hemolysis is differentiated by the absence of anemia or reticulocytosis. Liver histology is normal, but biopsy is not needed for diagnosis. Patients should be reassured that they do not have liver disease.

The advertising satire follows the New York firm of Cranston & Co. as they fight rival Hoffman & Partners. Cranston (Robert Klein) fires his creative director (Tony Hendra) which puts a young copywriter (Randy Pearlstein) with a literature degree on the front line, even though he doesn't want to be.

6,780	2Health	What are the current treatments for type 2 diabetes?		The first method that is always tried is diet and exercise. Type 2 diabetes occurs becuase of insulin resistance in the body, meaning there is too much fat. By decreasing fat stores through diet and exercise, you decrease the insulin resistance in your body. However, if this fails, there are many different medications out (and many in development) that can be prescribed by your doctor. However, it is important to realize that diet and exercise are still an important part of the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is very important to keep doctors appointments when you have type 2 diabetes because changes may be made to your medications and this needs to be monitored carefully.

She was born in France on February 21, 1875, and died at a nursing home in Arles, southern France on August 4, 1997. President Jacques Chirac once said Jean Calment was a little bit like a grandmother to everyone in France. She was 14 when the Eiffel Tower was completed in 1889. She led an extremely active life, taking up fencing at 85 years old, and was still riding a bicycle at 100. She portrayed herself at the age of 114 in the film Vincent And Me, to become the oldest actress in film.\nMan,Oldest man ever\nThe greatest age to which any man has ever lived is 120 years 237 days in the case of Shigechiyo Izumi (Japan) of Isen on Tokunoshima, an island 1,320 km (820 miles) south-west of Tokyo, Japan.

6,792	1Science & Mathematics	how bacteria makes a person sick?		Bacteria can make a person sick. But alot of problems come from bacteria that have been destroyed and can't protect us from the harmful bacteria. For instance yeast infections are almost always caused by a lack of the normal flora of bacteria. 60% of all you vitamin K that is used for blood clotting comes from bacteria in your gut. But the three main ways that they cause you to get sick is.\n\n1. The natural flora is destroyed and a "bad" bacteria or yeast can flourish. If this happens then it goes to step 2.\n\n2. The bacteria when it eats nutrients in your blood or body it produces toxins as a byproduct.\n\n3. Or it can actually attack certain cells in your body and can cause harm that way.\n\nSomething that is common in older people is that they come in with an infection and the Dr. prescribes a powerful antibiotic called Rocephin. This wipes out the normal flora of the intestines and the person comes down with Clostridium Diff. They then prescribe a more powerful antibiotic called Vancomyacin. This seems to quell the C. Diff. but then they get yeast infections because there is no bacteria to protect them. The bacteria eventually develope a resistant strain called VRE to help combat the void left in the intestine and by this time the person is usually very ill because of the yeast infections and C. Diff. They then develope a Urinary Tract infection by the VRE and develope sepsis and then die.

6,794	7Entertainment & Music	Who is the more powerful Jedi, Obi Wan or Aniken?		Unfortunately this is not a simple question because the storylines span several generations and the dynamics of each character shift dramatically as the story and characters develop [did I really just acknowledge that these characters ever REALLY develop into anything???].\nAnyway, let's choose two key moments and consider them.\n1) Anakin vs. Obi-Wan battle 1: Here Anakin demonstrates lack of control with whatever connection to the darkside of the force he may have. If indeed he was made powerful by the force, it would behoove us to consider that this power was destructive and NOT used by him as much as it used him.\n2) Anakin vs. Obi-Wan battle 2: In this case Obi-Wan loses the match. But isn't it clearly indicated that he does so in order to engage the force in a very different manner than Anakin, or the dark side for that matter, is capable of comprehending? Control is central to this character's decisions and advantages in both instances, however, his future as part of a universal power (I ain't even gonna approach the symbolism cr@p of all of this) does demonstrate a more powerful and controlled will then Anakin ever truly demonstrates.\n\nI think the real question is: Why does power matter in this case? Is power really the central issue in their relationship?

No publication or registration or other action in the Copyright Office is required to secure copyright. (See following Note.) There are, however, certain definite advantages to registration. See "Copyright Registration."\n\nCopyright is secured automatically when the work is created, and a work is "created" when it is fixed in a copy or phonorecord for the first time. "Copies" are material objects from which a work can be read or visually perceived either directly or with the aid of a machine or device, such as books, manuscripts, sheet music, film, videotape, or microfilm. "Phonorecords" are material objects embodying fixations of sounds (excluding, by statutory definition, motion picture soundtracks), such as cassette tapes, CDs, or LPs. Thus, for example, a song (the "work") can be fixed in sheet music (" copies") or in phonograph disks (" phonorecords"), or both.\n\nIf a work is prepared over a period of time, the part of the work that is fixed on a particular date constitutes the created work as of that date.\n\nIf this answer is indeed the best, please rank it as such.

How far will the Cincinnati Bengals go this football season?

This really all depends on how well the Cincinnati Bengals handle the pressure of the playoffs and how well the defense plays. Cincinnati Bengals rank 11th in total rushing yards, 6th in total passing yards and 4th in total Offense yards. Making them among the best offensive teams in the NFL today and the team is still young and learning how to work with each other.\n\nOn the other hand the defense has been a nightmare. Only good thing going for the defense is the fumbles recovered and interceptions they have made this year, which plays a big role in why they are where they are now. The defense has allowed a total 1522 rushing yards, allowed 2735 passing yards and are ranked 24th in the NFL overall in yards allowed.\n\nIn order to get to the SuperBowl the defense must step up and make the big plays, there is no room for error in the playoffs. I think they can get the 2nd seed in the AFC, with games left with only one team that has a winning record and good team. The other two games are against the coachless Lions and the Bills who are both no where near the playoffs. I like the Cincinnati Bengals chances of going to the SuperBowl and winning it, just don't bet on it, unless the defense comes to play.

Algebra 1!

I assume you mean to simplify it...\nIf the problem is this:\n4/(2/n)^3\n\nWhen you divide by a fraction, you can multiply by its inverse:\n4/(2/n)^3 = 4*(n/2)^3\n\n = 4*(n^3)/8\n\n = (n^3)/2

How can i use my TV screen instead of my PC monitor?

It depends on what brand and model of TV you have. It would have to have a VGA or DVI connection to accept a computer signal. Check your TV manual or maybe glance at the back of the TV to find the correct port you need.\n\nIf you have either a VGA or DVI connection, simply connect the cable to the back like you would a regular monitor, and then use your remote or menu buttons to toggle your video to "PC".

If it is 0 degrees and the weatherman says it will be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be tomorrow?

It depends what degrees you're talking about. For example, if it were 0 degrees in Celsius, that's 32 degrees Farenheit, and twice as cold would logically be 16 degrees Farenheit. But 0 degrees Celsius is also 273 degrees Kelvin, and twice as cold would be 136.5 degrees Kelvin. I guess in this case, the units of measure really matter.

what do you do yourself to cut down your appetite?

The basics of most nutrition books\nDon’t starve yourself. That’s the worst thing you can do in a diet because it slows down your metabolism and your body starts getting more fat from your food intake since, fat is the bodies fastest and easiest type of nutrition[not the healthiest though]. The reason this happen is because this helped us when we were no doing so good as hunters and gathers to keep us alive a bit longer. \n\nBefore I continue let me explain protein, carbohydrates, and fats.\n\nProtein is easiest described as anything that comes from or was an animal such chicken, fish, sirloin, and milk. \n\nCarbohydrates [carbs] can be found almost in anything else even apples.\nGood carbs:\nApples, wheat bread, sourdough bread, grains, and wheat \nBad carbs:\nWhite bread, hamburger buns, hotdog buns, Doritos, and sodas!\n\nGood fats:\nAvocados, pecans, almonds, and peanut butter \n\nThe ratio in your diet varies but I think a good starting point is something like\n[50%Protien:40%Carbs:10%fat]\n\nThis can sound meaningless. So in plain terms consume only good fats [portioned] and you should be okay. Something like a handful of almonds, or a table spoon of peanut butter should be consumed three times a day [separately. not consecutively]. \n\nThe reason this is relevant to your question of decreasing your appetite is because you are required to intake around 1200 calories for a 180lb person [Proteins are 4 calories, Carbs are 4 calories, Fats are 9 calories] so theoretically if you eat less fats and more proteins you will have a less appetite because you will eat more. \n\nAnother nifty advice is that your body turns carbohydrates into fat not fat itself. That’s how the Adkins basically works. If you consume more proteins and less carbs you will lose weight. I leave to you to decide if this is good you.\n\nI would also advice you to split up your day into 5 meals. [warning: it will feel weird because you are not used to eating this decreased amount. Just keep in mind that you will eat in 3 hour and you will quickly noticed that you will not go hungry and most importantly not feel hungry] if you do feel hungry eat a small snack like an apple or a wrap of peanut butter with a wheat tortilla.\n\nYou are suppose to split up meals because your body can consume a certain amount of nutrition the rest is just wasted and turned into fat [if you have been starving yourself or if you don’t exercise].

They have a pretty good search engine for drivers of all types.\n\nThe next best way is to search the manufacturer's site for the drivers. For example:\n\nMost modern video cards fall into only 2 categories:\n1. ATI cards, update at http://www.ati.com \n2. Nvidia cards, update at http://www.nvidia.com\n\nIf you purchased your computer from HP, Gateway, E Machines, Dell or any other large manufacturer you can visit their respective websites and they all have pretty good driver databases that are matched to your specific model of computer.

how long is ovalating and how do you know if your ovalation?

Ovulation always occurs during the middle of your cycle. Key things you can look for is a clear, slippery, elastic discharge that signals you are ovulating. If you have a basal thermometer you will also see a rise in your temperature. A good way to track when you are ovulating and whether you are fertile or not is to chart your cervical mucus and temperature. Another thing you can do is use an ovulation microscope which will show when you are ovulating. The best thing to do is to use software in which you can not only chart down your temp and mucus, but also other data including when you have had sexual relations. This software will calculate when your fertile and non-fertile days are, and is a good way to keep track of your periods. I always reccomend femta which is at www.femta.com and ovusoft which is at www.ovusoft.com

.SINCE CUSTOMERS KNOWN THEIR NEED AND WANTS THERE IS NO NEED FOR MARKETING DISCUSS?

Lets assume customers know all the products available in the market place. \n\nMost often there exists similar or substitute products in the market for example the chocolate market, Cadburys vs Nestle or in the soft drinks market Coca Cola vs Pepsi Cola or the car market. How would a potential buyer choose what brand to buy since it’s the same product? To answer this question we must think in marketing terms such as the 4 p’s which are product, price, place and promotion. \n\nPrice communicates a lot about the product such as, expensive means that the product is of the highest quality. Or cheap which can say – buy lots of me but don’t give it to your loved ones as a birthday present. \n\nPromotion is used to get customers to hear about the product and get them to try it. Product promotion is a strategy used to increase sales, increase product/brand awareness or get rid of stock. A product promotion could be a BOGOF (buy one get one free), by one get second half price, money off coupons, etc. These strategies are used to get customers to buy more of your product or simply try it for the first time.\n\nMarketing is the process of exchanging products or the art of persuading people to buy your product. I said exchange because a customer will exchange money for the product they are buying, with so many me too products in the market place a business has to do all it can to convince customers that their product is better than the competition for whatever reason, that’s the art of Marketing. Coming up with the right products, setting the right prices, selling the product in the best and most convenient places (having the product available for purchase), communicating the product to the public and convincing customers that your product is better then the competition is the art of selling.

what are the main clinical features of gilbert syndrome?

Gilbert's syndrome: The only significant abnormality is mild unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, which is important clinically only because this disorder is often misdiagnosed as chronic hepatitis. The disorder, presumably lifelong, may affect as many as 3 to 5% of the population and is most often detected serendipitously in young adults with unrelated nonspecific complaints. Some family members may be affected, but a clear genetic pattern is often difficult to establish.\n\nThe pathogenesis is uncertain. There appear to be complex defects in the liver's uptake of plasma bilirubin, which usually fluctuates between 2 and 5 mg/dL (34 and 86 µmol/L) and tends to increase with fasting and other stresses. In addition, glucuronyl transferase activity is low; therefore, the disorder may be related to Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II. Many patients also have mildly diminished RBC survival, but this is insufficient to explain the hyperbilirubinemia.\n\nGilbert's syndrome can be easily differentiated from hepatitis by normal liver function tests, absence of urinary bile, and predominantly unconjugated bilirubin fractionation. Hemolysis is differentiated by the absence of anemia or reticulocytosis. Liver histology is normal, but biopsy is not needed for diagnosis. Patients should be reassured that they do not have liver disease.

What are the current treatments for type 2 diabetes?

The first method that is always tried is diet and exercise. Type 2 diabetes occurs becuase of insulin resistance in the body, meaning there is too much fat. By decreasing fat stores through diet and exercise, you decrease the insulin resistance in your body. However, if this fails, there are many different medications out (and many in development) that can be prescribed by your doctor. However, it is important to realize that diet and exercise are still an important part of the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is very important to keep doctors appointments when you have type 2 diabetes because changes may be made to your medications and this needs to be monitored carefully.

The first thing to note is that the answer to which is more interesting is completely subjective. If you took a random survey, my guess would be that more people would answer finance rather than accounting - but the bean-counter stereotype of accountants is rapidly changing with the hype generated by Worldcom, Enron, and the Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) Act.\n\nPublic accounting is a mighty interesting place to be, my recommendation would be take Intermediate Accounting - that's what will determine whether you can stand accounting. Nonetheless, auditing is a great springboard into anything in the business world.

how bacteria makes a person sick?

Bacteria can make a person sick. But alot of problems come from bacteria that have been destroyed and can't protect us from the harmful bacteria. For instance yeast infections are almost always caused by a lack of the normal flora of bacteria. 60% of all you vitamin K that is used for blood clotting comes from bacteria in your gut. But the three main ways that they cause you to get sick is.\n\n1. The natural flora is destroyed and a "bad" bacteria or yeast can flourish. If this happens then it goes to step 2.\n\n2. The bacteria when it eats nutrients in your blood or body it produces toxins as a byproduct.\n\n3. Or it can actually attack certain cells in your body and can cause harm that way.\n\nSomething that is common in older people is that they come in with an infection and the Dr. prescribes a powerful antibiotic called Rocephin. This wipes out the normal flora of the intestines and the person comes down with Clostridium Diff. They then prescribe a more powerful antibiotic called Vancomyacin. This seems to quell the C. Diff. but then they get yeast infections because there is no bacteria to protect them. The bacteria eventually develope a resistant strain called VRE to help combat the void left in the intestine and by this time the person is usually very ill because of the yeast infections and C. Diff. They then develope a Urinary Tract infection by the VRE and develope sepsis and then die.

Unfortunately this is not a simple question because the storylines span several generations and the dynamics of each character shift dramatically as the story and characters develop [did I really just acknowledge that these characters ever REALLY develop into anything???].\nAnyway, let's choose two key moments and consider them.\n1) Anakin vs. Obi-Wan battle 1: Here Anakin demonstrates lack of control with whatever connection to the darkside of the force he may have. If indeed he was made powerful by the force, it would behoove us to consider that this power was destructive and NOT used by him as much as it used him.\n2) Anakin vs. Obi-Wan battle 2: In this case Obi-Wan loses the match. But isn't it clearly indicated that he does so in order to engage the force in a very different manner than Anakin, or the dark side for that matter, is capable of comprehending? Control is central to this character's decisions and advantages in both instances, however, his future as part of a universal power (I ain't even gonna approach the symbolism cr@p of all of this) does demonstrate a more powerful and controlled will then Anakin ever truly demonstrates.\n\nI think the real question is: Why does power matter in this case? Is power really the central issue in their relationship?

Why is it customary for men to pay on dates as opposed to each person paying their own bill?

It is antiquated and stupid. In this day and age, women work and earn money. Men should be smarter than that.

what is port 1864 used for?

this port shows as opn on a recent secuirty scan so , I am trying to know what is this for and if it is ok to shut it down

UDP Port 1864 may use a defined protocol to communicate depending on the application. A protocol is a set of formalized rules that explains how data is communicated over a network. Think of it as the language spoken between computers to help them communicate more efficiently. I would not close it out because you might need it if you use a network.

Copyright Secured Automatically upon Creation\n\nThe way in which copyright protection is secured is frequently misunderstood. No publication or registration or other action in the Copyright Office is required to secure copyright. (See following Note.) There are, however, certain definite advantages to registration. See "Copyright Registration."\n\nCopyright is secured automatically when the work is created, and a work is "created" when it is fixed in a copy or phonorecord for the first time. "Copies" are material objects from which a work can be read or visually perceived either directly or with the aid of a machine or device, such as books, manuscripts, sheet music, film, videotape, or microfilm. "Phonorecords" are material objects embodying fixations of sounds (excluding, by statutory definition, motion picture soundtracks), such as cassette tapes, CDs, or LPs. Thus, for example, a song (the "work") can be fixed in sheet music (" copies") or in phonograph disks (" phonorecords"), or both.\n\nIf a work is prepared over a period of time, the part of the work that is fixed on a particular date constitutes the created work as of that date.\n\nIf this answer is indeed the best, please rank it as such. Thanks!
