Education & Reference - 27 January 2007

my son goes into year 10 this year, and he is still unsure of what he would like to do with his life, but he has said that he would like to go to university.
he said perhaps he would like to be a doctor (although he doesnt know what type) or a lawyer (once again, he doesnt know what type).
apparently you need a VERY high UAI to get into university to study these subjects. My son is very interested in sydney university in particular.

can anyone further explain:
- how hard it is to get a high UAI
- what is it like to study these subjects
- what is it like to be a doctor or lawyer?

Thailand's Transport Minsiter has admitted that some airlines were afraid to use Bangkok's new Suvarnabhumi Airport after several flights scheduled to land were diverted to another airport, reported yesterday.
Debris was found on a runway and the diversions came amid rising concern about the condition of taxiways on which scores of cracks have been found.
"This has started to affect the country's image and some airlines are afraid to use Suvarnabhumi due to safety fears," said Transport Minsiter Theera Haocharoen as she inspected the affected taxiways.
This Nation said this was the first time an official had publicly acknowledged the problem of the damaged taxiways.
Since opening last September, the airport has been dogged by operational problem including a faulty baggage handling system and slow check-in services.

I keep seeing the number 444 everywhere (I have been for the past three years off and on). I'd explain but it'd take too long. I'm not just seeing things, it's everywhere. Does anyone know what it could mean?

We are to write a research paper that is 4-pages, double spaced. That is not too hard. I just need something to write about - that is my problem. Here are the requirements so you can get an idea. Basically, we can write about any topic that has to do with networking. We are to describe our selected topic, making sure it isn't too broad a topic. We can tell why we are interested in it, give comparisons of competing devices, prices, future expectations, etc. Problems and limitations should be covered (nothing is perfect).

There are so many things to pick from to write about, I just need some help in finding what would be a good topic to write about.

Thanks!

Modern users of English give least care for Grmammar and spelling.Idea and meaning are more dependent on context rather than on specifications of usage.It seems that Grammar goes obsolete and spelling irrelevant.Please give your comments.
