3 Teenagers Held In Plot At Massachusetts School

Q: I guess this would come under the catagory of domestic terrorism. Should these kids be tried in a military courts is the big question of the day?A:Of COURSE we do. But HOW could this have been an act of terrorism? Those kids did not intend to intimidate or frighten somebody. They intended to commit a criminal act that was supposed to overshadow the events at Columbine High School on 4/20/99 FOR KICKS. E.. is making an apples to oranges comparison for the sake of showing (once again) his complete, aberrant stupidity on a...

Abdominal Pain Heartburn

Q: I get daily abdominal pain heart burn that can only be described as severe bloating/trapped gas. It is NOT a cramping/spasmodic type of pain. Has anyone had this and been able to get in under control? If so, how did you do it?A:I have used 1 x 20mg Pepcid AC (prescription) mainly to prevent heartburn, and it helps a little for bloating gas. I find sometimes that I get very bad cramps from dehydration. If I don't drink enough water during the day, it feels like really bad hunger pains. I get severe pains on the lower left side after I eat anything...so, for lack of...

Acid Reflux And Pregnancy

Q: My husband and I have been talking about trying for a baby and I went off the pill in January. We're not really trying very hard yet, no temp charting or anything. Anyway, I have acid reflux and take Zantac (dose of 150 each day) -- I feel fine as long as I'm taking it and don't have caffeine etc. A couple days ago I started having a sharp ache in my right side -- my husband helpfully suggested appendicitis. It last a couple days and seems to have subsized. The problem is that its been replaced by one of the worst flare-ups...

Acid Reflux Causes

Q: My stepdaughter just went to her allergist because she's been having to use her inhaler a lot lately. He told her the problem wasn't her lungs, but rather that her rib cage and sternum are inflammed. Then he told her it might be from acid indigestion. Does that make sense to anyone? Of course acid indigestion can cause chest pain, but I'm skeptical about it causing the inflammed ribs/sternum. Wouldn't the trouble be in the stomach and/or esophagus? He gave her Prevacid and Vioxx so at least she's on an NSAID along with an acid reducer. I mentioned costochondritis and suggested she...

Acid Reflux Children

Q: On one of the television news programs: 2.4 million children in the USA are on Ritalin... with approximately 20% of children 12 years of age and younger on Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil. Then, of course, many children are 'getting' heartburn, reflux, and hiatal hernias ... which can proceed to Barrett's Esophagus, a pre-cancerous condition... which can then become Esophageal Cancer. There has been a 350% rise in Esophageal Cancer in white males ... Something is very wrong!! Anyone has any comment here?A:This statement has zero validity--and it's designed to have none. Over what period of time? By what studies? Of how many people?...

Acid Reflux Disease Cause

Q: The problem was one of dreadful intestinal pain after eating most foods. The only way to avoid the pain was a diet of cooked grains and yogurt. Conventional medicine had only provided antispasmodics and acid reducing drugs (omeprazole), which had only a limited effect. The solution was a course of mixed digesting enzymes, a plant source pancreatic enzyme replacement. It contained lipase, amylase, protease, and I think lactase. I can't remember off hand if there were one or two others in there as well. My conclusion had been that lack of pancreatic enzymes was one of the possible causes, and from...

Acid Reflux Disorder

Q: A commercial for some drug refers to "acid reflux disease". Since it isn't caused by a germ (or other things I haven't thought of), it seems more like a syndrome than a disease. And since it only has one symptom, afaik, it doesn't sound like a syndrome. So I think it should just be called acid reflux. Are they afraid people won't think it's bad, so they have to call it a disease? Or what?A:Of course the sufferer feels dis-ease. Besides, check this from the COD10 and point to the part requiring anything like "a germ." disease 1 a disorder of structure or function in a...

Advice On Carving A 'lost Wax' Ring

Q: Hello. I am new to designing jewellery and carving wax. I was wondering if anyone one could give me some tips on how to carve my ring for the lost wax process, or direct to a link that has the information already.

If she isn't still following the college course, why is she still getting the grants and loans for doing so?A:In a moment of weakness she admitted that a "boyfriend" had given her approximately $30k last year alone. I find it hard to believe anyone could be that "giving" {and she treats him the way she...

Anyone Know Of Any Online Study Groups?

Q: I am looking for an on-line or in-the-area-of-San-Diego study group. Anyone have any recommendations?A:There's quite a few on-line study groups out there. You may want to trawl through Yahoo groups, I'm sure there's more than a few there. I am currenlty enrolled in a Wicca101 course at http://www.witchschool.com which teaches Wicca according to the Correllian tradition. Its is a free course, but you are expected to complete assignments and do tests as you progress through the course. Witchschool also offers other courses. I am finding this course OK, and while I suspect my knowledge is generally past the 101...

A Question On Henry Viii's Divorce

Q: The discussion in this forum of Congressman Kennedy's annulment (apparently overturned after his remarriage in the Catholic Church, amusing) calls to mind a question to which I have never seen a coherent answer in re the most famous "divorce" in the history of the Christian Churches. Henry VIII wished to annul his first marriage, his reasons being that his wife had not given him a son, she had been previously married to his elder brother, and he had fallen in love with another woman. He had scriptural authority for his plea. Other popes in other eras had been...

Are There Any Tips On How To Learn Spanish?

Q: I've been learning Spanish for 4 months. I have one 1-hour lesson a week in a small group (4-6 people). I have also started to read the 'Magic Key' book and I've done the 8 hour Michel Thomas course. Despite all this I still find Spanish very difficult. Memorizing individual words is not a problem and I can form small sentences. The problem is I often seem to panic when I have to speak in Spanish and usually I just say the wrong thing. Also, when listening I still can't translate immediately. Instead I have to think about...

Are There Rn Courses Online ?

Q: I did a search on google about RN courses online. There are plenty of courses that offer a bachelors of science , but they are only avaible for practicing RNs.

This is the place. http://www.excelsior.edu I don't know whether the program is accepted in Canada or not. I know someone who got his RN from this program several years ago, so it is doable, but...

Articles On Sexual Harrassment

Q: Is this considered proper anymore? With all the things going on these days about sexual harrasment etc. I'm afraid that something could be interpreted the wrong way. I did say something nice about a necklace someone was wearing a few weeks ago and she seemed to appreciate it. I'm not looking to start anything with the women I work with but just don't know if I should say anything at all.A:It may not be improper but it's a little strange. In saying so, I admit to being influenced by classic stereotypes of male and female behavior. Also by the case of Darren Hunnemann, who...

Australian Vs North American Dental Schools And Dentists ?

Q: Does anyone know how the quality of dental schools in Australia compare to North American ones. What about experiences with Australian Dentists?A:That's the same as what happens in New Zealand. Most primary schools (i.e. not High schools) have dental clinics on site. I think they starting to move away from this, tho'. It was awful when you were at school: The dental nurse would start calling for kids and then the last kid she saw would tell the next kid they were to be seen. Unfortunately, sometimes people "cried wolf" and treated it as...

Bad Looks & Lack Of Sex Root Causes Of Depression?

Q: Could most depressions, let's say 70%, be caused by lack of intimacy, sex, and love, due to lack of good looks? I mean, deep down inside, don't most people want to feel sexually attractive? They say if you work hard enough and believe in yourself you can attain anything you want in this world. But a true reality check shows that it is so unlikely, and so due to random chance, that you cannot have the person you dream of. Hence, you may spend a large amount of time alone, even without many friends if...

Bread For Coeliacs That Doesn't Cause Heartburn

Q: Is there bread for coeliacs that doesn't cause heartburn?A:I take it from the spelling of coeliac that you are not in the US. (Celiac is how its spelled here in America usually). I really dont see why gluten free bread would be causing you heartburn. Are you sure you are not getting it from something else? Do you have other problems liek acid reflux? I personally like Kinninnick's Frozen bread (again this is in the US). I find it to be the closest to regular bread. I dont eat it plain, it comes frozen, so I use it for...

Can Men Overcome Their Sexual Urges?

Q: any other aspect of life. In fact, I maintain that the core issue with the most hysterical misogynists in this NG is sexual incompetence, frustration, and isolation due to an unappealing personality and physical appearance. Do you have any data to support that or are you just being nasty?A: No - I am not merely being waspish. My theory is based on usenet research over a period of years. And, of course, I can read both text and subtext in what people post. Eventually, they tip their hand. Have you read Eric Hoffer's "The Passionate State of...

Chargers And Qualcomm Stadium

Q: Lets face it this is our team. The Chargers have built a great franchise and spending the money and signing good players to long term contracts shows that they are committed to putting a good product on the field. But even in the bad years we were proud of our team. The Qualcomm site is the perfect location. Plenty of room, trolley service, freeway access from every direction, and it's in our city. Why give this up just so the city can sell it off to the fattest developer to balance the books? The developer will build another...

Clarence Thomas Sexual Harrasment

Q: Somebody says of Clarence Thomas:It's so strange that when a conservative black judge gets put on the Supreme Court, out of the blue comes a sexual harassment complaint." Not true. Three witnesses testified under oath that Anita Hill told them of the abuse by Clarence Thomas 10 years prior to his nomination. So why the wait? Why did she follow him from job change to job change? And where were her boyfriends? Justice Thomas very likely perjured his way onto the Court.A:I seem to recall at least one of those witnesses didn't testify under oath, and one had to be interupted by 'counsel' in order...

Clinical Depression --various Types

Q: Detection and Diagnosis systematically reviews the diagnosis of depressive and other mood disorders, according to the current U.S. standard system in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition, Revised (DSM-III-R) (American Psychiatric Association, 1987). The disorders reviewed include both unipolar forms of primary mood disorders (e.g., major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder), depression not otherwise specified (DNOS), and bipolar forms of primary mood disorders (e.g., bipolar I disorder, bipolar disorder not otherwise specified, cyclothymic disorder). The co-occurrence of depression with other nonmood psychiatric disorders and with other nonpsychiatric medical conditions is also considered, as is depression caused by...

Clinical Depression --various Types ?

Q: A clinical depression or a mood disorder is a syndrome (a constellation of signs and symptoms) that is not a normal reaction to life's difficulties. Mood disorders involve disturbances in emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and somatic regulation. A sad or depressed mood is only one of many signs and symptoms of clinical depression.A:The high prevalence of depression and the success of available treatments prompted the need to develop a guideline to assist primary care providers (general practitioners, family practitioners, internists, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, mental health nurse specialists, physician assistants, and others) in the diagnosis of depression. The Depression Guideline...

College Admission

The college admission time is a very crucial period in every student's academic life. This calls for extensive planning from a very long period. Innumerable students apply for the college admission for every single course at any college or university. You have to single out your application in such a way that it is different from the others, thereby sealing your admission. The minimum requirements for a college admission are that you should secure good scores in your school leaving examinations, must pass the test for your entry into college and your application should be able to demand your admission into...

Colorado Ged

Q: How is Colorado beating Edmonton going to make the life of a Dallas Star fan better?A:1. Because it gives Edmonton what they deserved in the first round. There are two reasons that Dallas didn't win: a. Because they didn't make the undisciplined Oilers pay on the powerplay. b. Because we have a *good* goalie, not a *great* goalie. 2. Because it serves as a wakeup call to the Stars players and management to fix the above items. Colorado demonstrated what could have been achieved...

Comorbid Depression And Anxiety?

Q: Depression was once postulated to result from dysregulation of the noradrenergic system alone. Hence, the pathophysiology focused on levels of norepinephrine and noradrenergic dysfunction.A:Genetic studies suggest a biologic link between depression and anxiety. Family members of patients with comorbid depression and panic disorder have higher incidences of mood and anxiety disorders and alcohol abuse than the relatives of patients with depression alone. Patients with signs and symptoms of depression and anxiety should be screened carefully. It is important to determine if a primary diagnosis can be made, whether the patient has symptoms related to comorbidity or subsyndromal mixed anxiety-depression,...

Comorbid Depression And Anxiety: When And How To Treat ?

Q: Anxiety and depression are distinct disorders commonly seen in clinical practice, particularly in the primary care setting. Comorbid or mixed disorders are also encountered so frequently that a diagnostic category of "mixed anxiety-depressive disorder" appears in the appendix of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV).A:It is crucial for clinicians to recognize both anxiety and depression early in the clinical course and institute appropriate therapy aimed at making the patient well (ie, achieving full remission) rather than merely improving symptoms. Patients with comorbid anxiety and depression tend to discontinue treatment earlier than those with depression...

UK Computer Training Courses

Q: Many of us would like to know throughout the UK what courses are available and what they offer. I have created a very simple Access database structure which could be used and hosted on somebody's website so that those of us who need training know where to look. If anybody is interested, I can send the basic database to them - it obviously can be amended. Maybe the person who agrees to host this database can persuade other members of this newsgroup to fill in details on this database for the...

Constipation Cause Heartburn

Q: Constipation is often associated with a lack of dietary fiber. Meat and dairy products do not contain dietary fiber. The average intake of dietary fiber for Americans is 12 grams per day, it should be 30-35 grams per day. Diets that provide more than 35 grams of dietary fiber per day show lower mineral absorption but a higher fiber intake usually means a higher mineral intake so the actual amount of mineral that your body gets (absorbs) should be okay as long as you get your fiber from food and not a bottle Does anyone here have any comment about the fact that Constipation...

Cosmetic Laser Surgery Options

Cosmetic laser surgery is another relatively new tool in the fight against aging. Though they were originally developed for medical uses like laser eye surgery and cataract removal, lasers have now become important tools in the cosmetic surgery world.

Cruise Packages: Honeymoon On The High Seas - Italian Style

When most folks think of a honeymoon cruise, they probably have a similar picture of what to expect by way of service, accommodations, amenities and on-board activities. The truth is, your honeymoon cruise doesn't have to be a carbon copy of everyone else's. There are options out there that truly outshine the others, and an Italian style cruise through Costa Cruises is definitely in that league. During the winter months, some of the ships of Costa Cruises are dedicated to cruising through the Caribbean on liners that offer fine Italian art, sculpture, movies, toga parties, language lessons and Italian...

Cure For Acid Reflux

Q: I have had this battery acid feeling in my throat now off and on for a month. I started taking Prilosec OTC almost two weeks ago and last night I had the worst spell of acid in my throat. I tried taking Maalox and drinking some milk and nothing helped. This is the first time that I have had all day acid and not been able to get rid of it. Does anyone know of an Over the counter medicine that is especially good for acid reflux/acid in throat? I have already tried taking typical antacids like rolaids and...

Definition Of Harassment

Q: Oral sex" is a kind of sex, a kind of "sexual relations". Perhaps in your own private language. In American English, "sexual relations" means coitus. Check it out in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Edition. In ordinary, everyday language, oral sex is not sexual relations. Most people agree that it is not. Boy, you haven't been to divorce court lately, have you?A: You really ARE logically-impaired, aren't you? First off, my Webster's says that "coitus" is" sexual intercourse", but that doesn't mean that sexual intercourse is limited to coitis. Here's your faulty sylloGISM in a...

Dental School Admission For Nontraditional Students

Q: I'm almost done with the prerequisite courses for dental school. Since I'm a Texas resident I'm hoping to attend one of the three dental schools in Texas. I was wondering if anyone in this group has any knowledge on how a nontraditional student's application is evaluated in any of the Texas dental schools. I noticed that the average age for the class of 2004 is more than a year lower than the average age for the applicant pool for that year, so on average a recent college graduate has a better chance of getting admitted than someone...

Development Time For Online Delivery Courses?

Q: Does anyone know a good site that will give me information on benchmarking development time for online delivery courses? I would appreciate any information you have. A: I believe that you absolutely can assign a value to the cost of design and development, but to get an accurate number you need to really understand your process and each of the elements that goes into developing a course. First, you cannot estimate anything without a course outline and you can't have a course outline without a needs assessment. I am not sure of how far you want to go with this, but I will...

Distance Learning - Online Courses, Recommendations.

Q: Can anyone suggest any decent on-line/distance learning courses on UML or intermediate level and beyond Object oriented analysis and design. Its very hard for me to get to a local college.

Does The Workplace Overreact To Sexual Harassment Charges?

Q: i think the workplace is very sensitive to *any* form of sexual harassment accusations. There are several examples of this that I can think of, but I suspect that isn't what you are looking for.

Do you or do you not think there is a heightened awareness of sexual harassment that has lead to overzealousness I was a bit unclear in making my opinion known. What I meant to say was that, IMHO, workplaces confronted with sexual harassment tend to overreact. ...

Email Address Search

There are several ways to find an email address. One of these ways is through an email address directory; another way is through a search engine called email address search. The two are similar because both can supply you with information on email addresses. The difference is that a directory mainly helps you find an email address by using a person's name. If you use an email address search, you can find these addresses several different ways. For example, you can look up someone's new address by putting their old email address in one of these search engines. The...

Finding A Beach Hotel

Most beaches offer at least one beach hotel. A beach hotel is generally located right on or very near the beach, so that at least some rooms have a beach view. Beach hotels tend to fill up most quickly and tend to be more expensive than hotels that are more inland. Although some beach hotels are simple or middle-sized, many beach hotels located in busy or popular spots tend to be more exclusive. Does it make sense to stay at a beach hotel? That depends on your own needs and on the beach hotel in question. There...

Forbidden By The Federal Fair Debt Collection Act ?

Q: What recourse does someone have when an attorney mails a document to someone seeking collection of a past debt and marks on the outside of the envelope "NON-PAYMENT"? I understand that such indications are forbidden by the Federal Fair Debt Collection Act ? A: -Sounds like a probable violation, though more facts are needed. The Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices act (FDCPA) applies to collection of "consumer" debts and, among other things, prohibits the sending of correspondence indicating it is a collection attempt on the outside.

Fwd: Postpartum Depression Stigma Fading ?

Q: One woman in the Comcast.net story opposed the bill, citing concerns over too much screening. "Where does it end?" she asked. "What makes screening for postpartum depression more important then, say, a thyroid condition? If you start mandating what to screen for, where does it stop?"A:Since most of the college-age set has not yet experienced parenthood, words such as "postpartum depression" may mean very little to you. Though brought to the attention of the nation by a crazy man who jumps on couches, postpartum depression is a very real problem, yet has been kept somewhat hush-hush. Mothers have said...

There are different phases for GED: 'hot' phase, 'cold' phase, and 'burnout'. When the inflammatory phases moves from hot to cold it could flare up and become hot again. The 'burnout' is the end of...

I've pretty much had my heart set on UCLA, since it's closeby, cheap, and no doubt a good film school (right?? right??A:a) My understanding is that getting into UCLA film classes is really tough, even if you are already there as an undergrad.

Going On A Hawaiian Cruise

If you have always wanted to say "aloha" to the exotic and beautiful Hawaiian islands, a Hawaiian cruise may be for you.

You can also more easily visit several islands on a Hawaiian cruise - most ships will take you to several islands as a matter of course. On a Hawaiian cruise, you can easily visit the islands of Kauai, Maui, Kona and Hilo while being pampered on board a large cruise...

Golf Handicapping

In the early part of the 20th Century the United States Golf Association (USGA), introduced a handicap system into the game. During the 1980s the USGA renamed the handicap system to the handicap index when it added slope rating to the course. The slope rating is comparable to the course rating in that both are used as methods to rate the difficulty of the golf course. The purpose of the handicap was an attempt to level out the playing field between players so those with varying ability could compete on equal ground. An example of this, is a player whose average...

Q: I would be interest to know how easy it is to prove harrassment ?. For example, is the regular driving past your house looking in the front window harrassment ?. How often would they need to do this to constitute harrassment ?.A: The legislation defines harassment as a course of conduct that you know or should know is likely to result in harassment of another person. A one off incident would not constitute a course of conduct. The Police would be looking for two or more incidents. The Police are particularly keen on using the legislation in the case of neighbour disputes. If the Police are called...

Have Manic Depressives Survived Without Medicine ?

Q: my question has anyone survived manic depression without medication.A:Some people can lead a perfectly decent, high-functioning life without medication, and only suffer short, manegeable interruptions; most people end up with a low- or non-functioning life with untreated md. One of the fathers of modern psychiatry, Emil Kraepelin, was able to define manic depression so well because its untreated sufferers were so clearly differentiated from the "normal", functioning population. That, manifestly, is not a good thing. My mother, my brother and I are all manic-depressive. They remain stable for many years between episodes without medication (except a wee bit...

Heartburn Indigestion Upset Stomach

Q: I cheated a little and gained a few pounds earlier in the week, had them all off yesterday and was back to my starting point (they must've just been water), and today I'm up again 2lbs! I was anticipating at the worst being the same weight the next day, give or talk half a pound since my scale equates 1 oz over an even pound as half a pound. I don't know whether the culprit was not enough water (I was out *all* day and planned poorly, drank around 92oz but not mostly water), or that I went like 4g over my usual carb limit (20g)....

Heartburn In Early Pregnancy

Q: I think we've all read the 'standard' symptoms of early pregnancy - missing a period, being tired, nausea, and so on. But I've seen (and experienced) symptoms that never appear on any chart *before* finding out I was pregnant, such as: * gagging on my toothbrush * feeling scatterbrained and unable to remember/focus/think * suddenly developing an aversion to things with caffeine Somebody else mentioned 'gassiness'? Is this a possible symptom, and if it is, what causes it? (I've been plagued with this now for a week, bleah). What are some other symptoms you have experienced, especially *before finding out you were pregnant*, that never appear...

High School Sexual Harassment Policy

Q: Wasn't that a funny prank, back in high school?A: If the school has a policy on "unwanted touching", this scenerio is less likely to occur since witnesses might actually be able to tell what happened. You also must think about the fact that the girl hauls off and mistakenly "hits" the wrong boy. One would have to question whether her response was reasonable. Perhaps she should have been encouraged (by the policy) to seek...

How Prevalent Are Online Physics Courses?

Q: Are online physics courses becoming more prevalent? Obviously a pure online course would not be able to offer a lab.

How Should True Patriots Combat The Rising Fascism In America?

Q: How should true patriots combat the rising fascism in America?A: That's a good question. And an easy one to answer. The single most important, vital thing to do is to just talk about this stuff. Not online, but in the real world. With family, and friends, and co-workers, etc. Even though the Zogby poll shows that a full 50% of Americans believe that something very, very wrong has happened in this country on and since 9/11, it's still a very, very hard thing for people to talk about.

Is There A Difference With Generic Prozac?

Prozac was developed by Eli Lilly, a pharmaceutical company. It was developed to help people cope with the symptoms of clinically diagnosed depression. The important factor to understand here is that Prozac is not a drug that will cure depression, it will simply alleviate some of depression's symptoms. What it does is affect levels of chemicals in the brain, specifically serotonin, a neurotransmitter. Clinically diagnosed depression alters the levels of neurotransmitters and Prozac can balance them temporarily, but not fix the problem. Eli Lilly's patent on producing Prozac ran out in 2001, allowing other companies to come out and create...

Loan Amortization

When it comes to loan amortization, it helps to know what it means. The term amortization can be difficult to understand at first unless you understand the entire lending process that is practiced by most banks and other lending institutions. A loan is amortized when it is slowly repaid with interest over a predetermined number of years. This means that the borrower usually repays a set amount each month. A percentage of the monthly payment is applied towards the interest on the principal loan, while the remaining amount is applied against the principal. What this means is that at the...

Q: My brothe drinks lots of milk and complains of acid reflux. Would milk cause acid reflux?A:Milk contains lactic acid which can indeed exacerbate acid reflux if someone is prone to heartburn.

His doctor might be able to suggest a proper course of action, or a simple medication to control the acid if it really is a bad problem. Acid Reflux (also known as GERD...

Motorcycle Safety Course Instructors .

Q: I just started a motorcycle safety course here in California so I could learn how to ride a bike with more confidence. The course is great, but the instructors bug me to the sense of being arrogant and sarcastic when teaching you how to ride. I know I'm being hypersensitive, but I've never ridden a bike until the course and my confidence wanes when an instuctor gives you that "you're a dumbshit look" . When the class ended, a few people confirmed that these courses are notorious for lack of respect ...

Murad Skin Care?

Q: Anyone have anything good or bad to say about the Murad line? A: -My opinion: 1.) Cellular Serum -- good; nice moisturizer for night but not day (too sticky); $$$ but long-lasting 2.)

Or Beginning Latin Online?"

Q: Since the Latin Mass has died, did they stop teaching Latin in Catholic schools as well? Is there such a thing as a correspondence course for Latin or Beginning Latin Online? And how appropriate is it that the first post I respond to in quite a while is about Latin? Anyway, from what my Catholic friends tell me, Latin isn't entirely dead and buried as far as liturgy is concerned. But as far as learning Latin, you're probably better off to just buy a high school textbook and study it on your own time. I've not seen any...

Party To Pay Does Not Affect The Standing Of The Other Party?

Q: My friend made a big tax mistake about two years ago when she was married (filing jointly w/her husband) and ended up with a tax debt around $6000 for which she is currently paying. They have since divorced, and he has already demonstrated his lack of responsibility paying on this debt. As a result, although he is the primary filer, she has been paying the payments for fear that the IRS will come after her.

But researchers at Stanford University Medical Center have used the drug mifepristone, also known as RU-486, to treat these patients quickly and effectively.A:The treatment is potentially controversial because mifepristone is widely known as a drug that induces abortions.

Script-happy Doctors Accused Of Poisoning The Elderly

Q: I have been prescribed a drug that is more harmful than the alternatives. It is just about last on the list of "desirable" drugs for my condition. So why do I have to take this one? Because for me, the others don't work. People are, as Kerry observed, individual.

Silver Bracelets Shouldn't Take Second Place

Silver has always seemed to be second-fiddle to gold. There are silver medals awarded for second place and when asked, most people would probably say that silver is less valuable than gold. That may be so, as far as the markets go. However, items like silver bracelets are starting to gain some momentum in the minds of people. Silver bracelets are becoming more popular because fashion experts say that they transition well between day and nighttime. People can wear silver bracelets to work, but can just as easily then wear the same item out to a fancy dinner later that night....

Solution? Or Is A Relief Valve A Better Solution?

Q: Adding a back flow preventer or a check valve to a domestic water supply will create a closed system. Usually the issue of thermal expansion in a close system is handled by installing an expansion tank on the cold water side of the water heater.

Of course this relief valve would dump a small amount of water every day...... approx the amount of expansion of the cold water heated to water heater temp. Is the expansion tank...

Some Facts About Workplace Sexual Harassment In The U. S

Q: A sexual advance towards a coworker is not "sexual harrassment," Do you think the article is arguing that it is, per se? It also says "unwanted sexual advances" not "a sexual advance.A: Repeated advances in the face of clear discouragement ARE sexual harrassment, although these things are adjucated on a case-by-case basis. Surely any male who attempt to ask a coworker for a date more than once or twice is pretty stupid.

Tax Us For It?

Q: We recently sold our house in CA through the pre-foreclosure/short-sale program. The final sales price was about $25,000 less than the loan amount.

Alternatively, if the lender does have recourse against your other assets,...

Laser surgeons resurface the skin using cool lasers, and as the skin heals, new collagen bands form in the top layers of the skin.

Several of my colleagues are interested in online computer-related courses, as well. I would appreciate...

The Large World Of Video Projectors

The irony of talking about the vast world of video projectors is that the video projector itself is small - and that fact is a major advantage. However, what the video project can give its owner is an enormous amount of entertainment and a long list of benefits that people might not first think about when deciding on purchasing something to use to watch movies. The video projector gives you that capability, and much more. It's amazing to think that a machine the size of a breadbox can deliver such a huge picture and can generate so much entertainment in...

The Portable Mba Series Mba

Q: (1) Does anyone know who is now distributing the Heriot Watt MBA materials in Canada? (2) If there is no longer a Canadian distributor, from whom else can I make the purchase? (3) And more importantly, given the value of the cheesy Canadian dollar on the international market, who might be distributing the HW materials for the best price??A:Because the university economists in Edinburgh are staunchly for a free market economy, they always insisted that every agent be permitted to sell to students anywhere in the world, and set their own prices and terms. During my tenure, where our...

The Projector Lamp And You

The projector lamp is one of the few pieces of your home theater projector you might actually come to not hate when something goes wrong within your home theater system, or more specifically in your projector. The projector lamp is actually one of the few components in the projector that can be replaced, and does not require professional fixing or even an entirely new projector. This is the main reason you should not fret when the projector lamp burns out. This of course does not mean finding a replacement projector lamp is as simple as going to the store and...

Treatment Of Severe Depression

Q: The placebo effect is the phenomenon that a patient's symptoms can be alleviated by an otherwise ineffective treatment, since the individual expects or believes that it will work. Some people consider this to be a remarkable aspect of human physiology; others consider it to be an illusion arising from the way medical experiments were conducted.A:In the opposite effect, a patient who disbelieves in a treatment may experience a worsening of symptoms. This nocebo effect (Latin nocebo, "I shall harm") can be measured in the same way as the placebo effect, e.g., when members of a control group receiving an...

Types Of Depression Medication, Depression: What Every Woman Should Know

Q: DEPRESSION IS A TREATABLE ILLNESS Even severe depression can be highly responsive to treatment. Indeed, believing one's condition is "incurable" is often part of the hopelessness that accompanies serious depression. Such individuals should be provided with the information about the effectiveness of modern treatments for depression in a way that acknowledges their likely skepticism about whether treatment will work for them. As with many illnesses, the earlier treatment begins, the more effective and the greater the likelihood of preventing serious recurrences. Of course, treatment will not eliminate life's inevitable stresses and ups and downs. But it can greatly enhance...

Typing Courses In Warwickshire

Q: Apologies if this sounds a bit 'Oirish' (but I am). I've just bought one of those Microsoft Natural keyboards and it's highlighted how rubbish I am at typing. If you don't know what I mean, they're the ones with the keyboard split into two angled segments. I've always wanted to be better at typing because, being a desk-bound engineer, I write a lot of rubbish......er I mean reports.

After 40 trips or so (lots of cleanings and xrays), she had around 7 root canals done there without caps (students saved those for their friends and family),...

Where's The Real Weight Loss Pill?

Don't you wish there was such a thing as a weight loss pill? I don't mean those pills that promise the weight will simple disappear if you take them....as long as you also diet and exercise that is. I mean a pill that you could take once a day, like a vitamin pill, which would just erode the pounds - and the cellulite of course - from the inside without damaging your body.

Which Are The Best Dental Schools???

Q: Can anyone tell me which are the best Dental Schools in USA and in canada tooA:You can't really put the name "best" on any given dental school. Each school has its strengths and weaknesses. Its like saying (I understand you're from Canada) which school is better, Waterloo or McGill. In the field of engineering, McGill is not fit to hold Waterloo's jock straps but if we shift to sciences, Waterloo is no match. One dental school may be strong in the research, another may be strong in clinical and others may be in academics. How do you define "the...

It's not any of the equipment because you put all the research into finding out the best system for...
