They will not request medical records to be transferred from your old doctor. As far as I can tell, you must request them directly from your old doctor on paper (this generally means paying for copying costs at a jacked up per page rate) then the fun really begins.
You can't just take the copies of the records to Kaiser and ask them to put them in the system, you have to take them to the doctor (in that department) with an appointment and have the doctor designate what is important to be entered into your local records. Multiple conditions has meant multiple doctors get the information.
It is usually easier just to let them order new tests/x-rays
The attitude you are left with it that they do not trust other doctors.
EBT in California is also used for unemployment benefits. I do believe that comes out of the cash side and you can use it as a debit card and just get the cash
If you are looking for work and your resume shows anything over 15 ago (or even sometimes 10 years ago) most HR departments will blackball it. If it is your current job they might look at it but otherwise flush. I have even been told by a well known contract firm that they don't look at anything related to the current position they are trying to fill if it is over 1 1/2 years ago,
Having lived in very dry places. (It frequently gets below 5% humidity in the summer outdoors) I know that with low humidity you can dry out fairly quickly. In Phoenix you are allowed to carry water into most sporting events because you need to replace the water that evaporates and everyone does it in the summer.
When you are in someplace that is humid, you do not dry out as quickly because the water is being replaced by water in the air (yet I know there are other factors),
It would be interesting to strictly control the isotope content in diet/drink for a month but in two different regions and then do a comparison.
Any course correction fuel will quickly (relatively) be used up. Geosynchronous satellites have course correction systems to keep them in the proper orbits.
Yes air resistance is minor at that distance from earth but they have not solved the three body problem. Tidal forces from the moon will eventually disturb the orbits and that will be the end of it. If this was not the case, we would have tiny natural moons around the earth.
Now if they put the disk in one of the L points they might have a chance.
PS: from an orbital mechanics point of view, geosynchronous orbits are not special. They just happen to take the same amount of time as a rotation of the earth. When the length of the day changes over the time frame mentioned, the orbits will no longer be geosynchronous. A billion years is long enough for the moon to change the rotation speed of the earth.
Generally XP* and older versions of windows did not rewrite the boot sector. People would install linux on a machine and then try to go back to windows and LILO would still come up. There are ways to force it to do so of course.
Ideally operating systems would ask so you could re-install a partition and not have to mess with getting everything setup.
*for Vista and Windows 7 I think you may have to as well I have not had the issue of lately
They forced countries after WWII to become Soviet states. When countries previously tried to do what East Germany did successfully at the end of the cold war, The USSR drove in with tanks if necessary and reestablished communism.
They wanted to ban all religions. The idea that Pussy Riot is in trouble in large part for doing things in the government's pet church is so unexpected if you understand the USSR
They were a threat to people of wealth. Look at why Cuba became such a sore spot for the USA
They proclaimed that the whole world would be communist by the time the baby boomers had grandchildren
They had the power to seriously damage the world and they claimed to have much more power, hardware and people than they did
Oh, being the best driver of weapon sales and development did not hurt either
No the velocity relative to the ground is quite high.
Think of the following experiment:
Take a object like a yo-yo at the end of a string and hold the other end of the string in one hand Standing in one place spin in a circle as fast as you can The yo-yo will start to move away from you in a bigger circle. It will "look" like it is not moving and the world is going round. It is obvious that it is moving fast however and if someone walks up to you they will be hit by it.
If you jumped off a geosynchronous satellite, you would float near the satellite and gradually move away from it. It would be years before air resistance and tidal effects brought you out of orbit.
A geosynchronous satellite is one where the orbital period in terms of angular velocity happens to be equal to about the same as the rotational velocity of the earth. There are small thrusters on these to correct for tidal and other factors.
The timing of these orbits is basically a coincidence that we strive for and maintain for our own purposes. If the earth were to suddenly slow down (or speed up) these satellites would not be effected by the change. They would stay in the same orbits until someone on earth ordered the thrusters to compensate for the drift.
unless you have offsite replication you may be better off telling people to stop working than have them work till the last momrent and then shutdown.
If you do nightly backups and some people do crital stuff this morning you can loose that work or restore to an inconsstant state. for some information it may be better to be down then inconsustant.
you dont want customers to have reciepts for transactions you do not have backups on your end.
not all touchsmart 610's have blue-ray. Maybe all recient models do but mine does not also mine has no video output. I have to use an external usb adapter to drive a second monitor
Not sure the details in this case but I would not want to have a server returned without notice and plugged in.
so imagine you are an admin, Server "yoyo" is gone so you set up a replacement server using a backup. We call the new server "yoyo" as well. you tweek it as needed and life is good.
A few days later both servers are now online. Both called "yoyo" One is out of date perhaps but they both have the same name. try to serve the same requests perhaps. Do backups to the same network location
The possiblities for excitement and fun are limitless.
The only thing Amazon should be scanning and OCRing for ebooks in the modern age are older books. Everything else SHOULD come in electronicly. Publisher are frequently in the stone ages however.
If you self publish on the kindle you can download an application that shows you the final result before you publish. You can fix things to make them work.
Authors should get a chance to see review copies of books before epublishing . Of course that does not frequently happen. I know of a situation where a paper book went to final press without author review and the name of the author was typoed on the spine.
the cases are almost always a range of greys. even if you are asleep and a car breaks through your bedroom wall and injures you the courts can have a field day with you. Did you light your yard well enough? did you have substandard walls. can I collect a jury that does not like your kind of people (whatever kind you might happen to be). Was the car defective... even open and shut cases if they know they are going after a non lawyer they will likely try to shaft you in ways you do not expect.
Also the judge is not likely to be impartial when he finds out that you were offered a settement and refused it and refused to pay a member of his former profession that will require more work from him.
They already know at this point what 1/2 of the earth it could hit. I do not know at the moment but I am sure the calculations have been done. As time goes on and more observations are made, if it is to hit we will narrow it down to perhaps a few hundred miles.
if it is pointed at Europe or eastern China or many other places we would move it.
Imagine it is pointed to somewhere in the North Atlantic. If you move it so it misses the earth you are happy. However if your attempt is only partially successful you could shove it into a populated area. Think of moving a laser pointer spot on the globe to the side so it no longer points at the earth. You are not allow to turn it off. I think most places on the planet where it could hit might require making things worse before the object is pushed far enough to miss us entirely,
The chances of a failure leading to a worse situation are quite slim, but with politics involved....Imagine if a congressman from Florida will attempt to stop any funding which would push that path over his state.
This plan likely requires two additional launches.
They must be targeted to land in places where the rover can get to them as they will not be mobile.
If any one the the three messes up or lands somewhere we can't get to it we must build another lauch vehicle and wait for it to get to the surface of Mars
Retrofiting the existing rover with a collection cup and then removing it and capturing the samples is probably far harder than just going to a place and snatching a sample from where you land. Remember, you don't control the slope of the land it will land on and if you add an arm to the second and third landers, why not let them collect samples.
Sample selection would need to be within the area the rover will be able to drive to. they would need to land somewhere flat and boreing. this limits where we can choose from. Why not go somewhere we have not been
Yes, if one of the rovers finds something that could be life, or something else of extreme importance, or perhaps something we can't figure out, I could see trying to do this even with Opertunity
I was on the commuter train in San Diego. It was run mostly on the honor system but you can get a ticket if you can't show you have paid. It was packed and there was bairly room to stand
Two police officers jumped on and about 1/2 of the people (most looked like students) suddenly remembered it was their stop. Suddenly you could even sit down,

it could also be like the Mayan calendar. When you reach the end of the day the world does not end, we just start a new day. :-)
