When will the law suit be filed and where? They're a private organization. They can write the rules, with attainable accords, as they see fit. Given the overall impact of the LPGA, I would bet you that protests would hold up about as long as the protests at The Masters in '03, where women are still...

And the LPGA has tour stops in Korea, Japan, Singapore, China and Mexico. I wonder if the Pro-Am partners there complain when the Amer...

For songs that you have imported into iTunes from a CD, you can simply open iTunes, find the MP4 file, right click it and select "convert AAC to MP3" and it will convert it for you. As for songs that have been purchased and downloaded from iTunes, I don't think that will work. I believe y...

what's the school policy on cell phones? most of the high schools here require them to be off during school hours.

Our society - our government - isn't willing to teach kids that there are other ways than violence to resolve conflicts, because if they *did*, nobody would volunteer for the military anymore. I believe that the tragedy begins *there*. now there's a leap of unsubstantiated crap.... so instead we sh...

2) until parents are truly held accountable for their children's actions nothing will change. if the gun belonged to a parent try both the kid and the parent for murder.
