Dec 31 1992 Dow closes at 3301

Dec 29 2000 Dow closes at 10787.99

Now let's see shall we? 1087.99/3301=3.268

(3.268)^(1/8)=1.16 so gee that means you get a consistent return of 16% each year during the presidentcy of Bill Clinton doesn't seem to bad to me.

Then of course the Dow during Bush's presidency:
Jan 1 2001>>>dow closes 10787.99
oct 11 2006 >>> dow closes 11852.13

11852.13/10787.99=1.09864 so you made 9.864% in 5 years and 9 + months

1.09864^(1/5.75)=1.01649509698928

for a fantastic return of 1.65% per year so far during our "Bush Boom!!!"

If this had been a no-name private citizen we would be angry at him for flying recklessly below 1000 feet, violating restricted airspace, hurting innocent people, destruction of property, etc.

So why should there be a huge outpouring of grief just because this reckless thrillseeker had a Yankees uniform?

I have a male Betta that I have decided to breed. I got a beautiful female and placed her in a little tank beside his. They have been showing off for one another fine but she still has to wait awhile to breed as she is small. My question is that today as he was building a great bubble nest, she started to bubble as well. Not half as much and her bubbles are all around the top of her tank. I was just wondering if that was normal. I just put her there to get them aquainted and plan on removing her from view in a day or so and waiting about a month to reintroduce her. The bubbles were just something that I didn't expect from my female. Anyone?

We homeschool our kids and my daughter only has the girls in our neighborhood to play with. Unfortunately, most of these girls are garbage and go out of their way to be mean to her, tearing her down and one day being nice and her "friend," the next they are ganging up on her and doing their best to destroy her. We live in a mobile home park (middle of the road, not the best not the worst), and it seems like many of these families are trash. I am at a loss as to how to help my daughter deal with these little MONSTERS. Help.

I have been diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome when I was 8, and now at the age of 13, am still living with it (as most of you may know, you can't really get rid of it). I recently became very interested in my IQ, so I took an IQ test (one of the online ones, I know it's probably not as accurate), and to my surprise, my IQ was only 122 (Weschler Scale). However, I realized that, as I was taking the test, I did have trouble focusing, and even now as I write this, I have been stopped at least seven times due to an uncontrollable tic. Can Tourette's Syndrome (or ADD, or OCD) affect an IQ test score? Is it possible that my actual IQ is higher?

In most things, it's generally easy to know who is responsible for proving something. Religion is different. Burden of proof lies with the one making the extraordinary claim. To atheists, the theist makes an extraordinary claim by saying an omnipotent god exists yet cannot be seen. To the theist, the atheist makes the extraordinary claim by going against the long held belief that there is no god or gods. To me, it seems that in religion burden of proof and who it lies with depends on your stance. If you're theist, it lies with the atheist and vice versa. What do you guys think? Who has to prove to the other side that they are right with empirical evidence?
