What happens if a baseball hits an offensive player while he's running towards a base. I'm asking this because I just saw a highlight tonight on Sportscenter where there was a groundball and it almost hit someone running to second. So is there any rule about a baseball hitting a player running the bases?

I've been doing inside sales for an electronics store for 6 months now and I like it. I'm definately not the greatest sales person but I think I am above average and I give excellent customer service on top of that. Anyways I just wanted to ask if 6 months is enough experience to get a real sales job that will give me some real money? Cars? Loan Officer? What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;

But the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.

One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,

Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.


You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;

Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,

Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?


If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet,

And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?


If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,

Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?


Then one may be that, and three would be those,

Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,

And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.


We speak of a brother and also of brethren,

But though we say mother we never say methren.

Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,

But imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim.

Hi, over the last 3 weeks my pondfish have lost their appetites and I have had 5 fish die. There are no obvious problems except that a couple of the dead fish have some red spots or streaks on the body. Some fish have been jumping -but no more than usual. Water chemistry has been tested for ph,ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and phosphate and all OK. Water is filtered and UV for algae, plant growth is fine. Any advice welcome.

What is wrong with making a person view an ultrasound before getting an abortion? Are pro choicers afraid it would alter the views of everyone who gets abortions. I am not pro choice, I am a person who feels like everyone should know EXACTLY what they are doing with ANY medical situation in their body. And I think it is misinformation to tell a person that it is only tissue being removed. I do believe a person does have a choice in the situation, but I think they should still know what they are really doing. If they find these facts out later, it could cause more serious regret issues and more serious depression issues. The fact is...an ultrasound will show a full skeleton including fingers, toes at eleven weeks (Less than3 months) How do I know? I got one at 11 weeks and saw my baby girl waive her arms and move around, and suck her thumb.

I'm 21 and live with an emotionally, verbally, and financially abusive relative. Therapy/confrontations/all else have failed. I need to move asap before the situation becomes any more unstable and I completely snap. Problem is, I have nearly no money at the moment. I lost a lot in a fire several months ago, had to move back, and somehow fell into the trap of allowing this person to control me again. I need to move out, soon... but how?

My friends are too far away to stay with, so that's out. I could get a well-paying IT job, like I had before the fire, if I could only find an apartment to commute from to go to work, and make money, and pay rent, but I simply can't do it from my current location. Is there a service that could help me? The thought of social workers observing my household terrifies me, because of the backlash I'd get from my relative. I don't have any other relatives I could live with. If I could get a well-paying job, should I take out a loan for initial rent? Help!

Do you allow your beliefs to evolve, or do you adamantly believe what you want to believe, regardless of new evidence or knowledge you encounter?

Why do you get to preach human rights?
In the Western Inudstrialized world you are both the only country that has the death penalty (executes more per/pop'ln (% of its citizens than ANY other country inc. China and Saudi Arabia) and...does not give its citizens universal health care.
So, my question? Where do you get off preaching and boasting endlessly and flag waving and chanting USA, USA endlessly...about being the beacon of human rights and freedom in the world?
The rest of the West is laughing at you...and the rest of the 2nd 3rd world hates you.
Sorry, but it's true. Deal with it.

Seen a digital SLR camera where you can only look through the viewfinder to take photos. You look at screen to view photos not take them. Is this the case with all SLR's?

Currently, I have 2 D's(repeated twice already) in the same math course in community college. I want to transfer to a 4 year university and would like to know if I can retake the same math course again...for the third time. Maybe third time's the charm. It's the only class I'm struggling with. How would my third grade in the same course be calculated in the gpa and what would happen to the 2 D's?
