I wish to create an abbreviation string in bibtex format for the following:

@STRING{MfM = "Monatshefte f\"{u}r Mathematik"}

where the \"{u} is the format for a u with an umlaut. The trouble is the symbol " which is treated as the end of the string.

Any ideas on how to avoid this problem?

I have been seeing a guy off and on even though he is still seeing a girl back in his home town. We mean a lot to each other but the issue is his family, he wants to be with me but fears of what his family is going to do seeing we are a different race and he is a fair amount older then me. We are working toward being together and dealing with his family but my question is, is this all the same as cheating even with the circumstances we are under?

In recent weeks, I have been trying to raise my "good" HDL cholesterol. I have been eating lots and lots of healthy mono-unsaturated fats ... stuff like olive oil, peanut butter, peanuts, fresh salmon. I may be imagining this, but it sure looks like my gray hair is turning back to the brown shade I had many, many years ago. (I am 63 years old.) Has anybody heard of diet changes, especially fatty foods, helping to get rid of gray hair ... or am I delusional?

I just quit my job at Wal-Mart, and I want to go to college. It's probably too late to get financial aid, and I can't afford otherwise. I also don't know what college I could get into right now since they are all about to start if they haven't already. Please help me?

Here's another warning regarding SODA IN CANS! We certainly live in a dangerous world. This incident happened recently in North Texas.A woman went boating one Sunday taking with her some cans of coke which she put into the refrigerator of the boat. On Monday she was taken to the hospital and placed in the Intensive care Unit. She died on Wednesday. The autopsy concluded she died of Leptospirosis. This was traced to the can of coke she drank from, not using a glass. Tests showed that the can was infected by dried rat urine and hence the disease leptospirosis.Rat urine contains toxic and deathly substances. It is highly recommended to thoroughly wash the upper part of soda cans before drinking out of them. The cans are typically stocked in warehouses and transported straight to the shops without being cleaned. A study at NYCU showed that the tops of soda cans are more contaminated than public toilets (i.e).. full of germs and bacteria. So wash them with water to aviod getting sick.

I am buying an item and it says "new in box", does that mean it is new but opened once? Or does it mean completely new? Thanks.

OK...here's the million dollar question....my professional photograhper friend and I have a serious debate...In my opinion, digital photography is great...as far as it being utilitarian, conveniant, efficent, etc, etc...however...not the best for true "artistic" photography. I feel that it pulls away from the art to have an image digitized and broken down into pixils and then rescrambled back together on an LCD screen. To have an image that is actually burned by light into film seems much more authentic and real. My photographer friend thinks it makes no difference and doesn't interfere with the artistic process to use digital. Any thoughts?

My best friend just moved and is busy with new friends, a new school, and a new life. I am glad that she has made new friends and is keeping busy but I am sad for me, who is stuck without anyone. Am I being selfish?

Obviously in a free enterprise system corporations should be able to make it on their own but they love the handout from the government, which benifits the share holders who are usually well off.So if they get welfare why so much anger about a poor person getting a helping hand?
