This is what you will find.
Latex Condoms, when used properly, are
highly effective against pregnancy –
although no contraceptive can guarantee
100% effectiveness. Any use of Latex
Condoms, when used properly, may help
reduce the risk of catching or spreading
many Sexually Transmitted Diseases
(“STDs”) such as syphilis, gonorrhea,
chlamydia infections, genital herpes, and
AIDS; however, they cannot eliminate the
risk. For maximum benefits, it is
important to follow the instructions for
use printed on the inner side of the
package. Failure to do so may result in
the loss of the benefits of a condom.
During intimate contact, lesions and
various body fluids can transmit STDs.
Therefore, a new condom should be
applied each and every time before any
such contact occurs.
Another label actually says:
See warnings and carefully follow
instructions for use printed on inner side
of carton. This product is intended to help
prevent pregnancy. It does not protect
against HIV infection (AIDS) and other
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (“STDs”).
Holes in Condoms…
STDs are very tiny organisms, minuscule
in size compared to sperm. These supersmall
viruses can get through a hole in a
condom much more easily than sperm
can. For example, HIV (the AIDS-causing
virus) is so small that two million of the
disease-causing agents could crowd on
the period at the end of a sentence.
In 1993 the University of Texas
analyzed the results of 11 different studies
that had tracked the effectiveness of
condoms to prevent transmission of the
AIDS virus. The average condom failure
rate in the 11 studies for preventing
transmission of the AIDS virus was 31%.
One reason condoms fail in preventing
the transfer of AIDS is that latex condoms
have tiny intrinsic holes called “voids.”
Sperm is larger than the holes, but the
AIDS virus is 50 times smaller than these
tiny holes which makes it easy for the
virus to pass through [Source: Dr. C. M.
Roland, editor of Rubber Chemistry and
Technology]. To give you an idea of how
easy it would be for the virus to pass
through these holes, just imagine a ping
pong ball going through a basketball hoop.

Condom Warnings — Beware!!!
Doctors speak out about condom
failures!
Many leading health experts have warned
against depending on condoms for
protection against AIDS and other STDs.
Here’s a sampling of their comments:
“You just can’t tell people it’s all right to
do whatever you want as long as you wear
a condom. It (AIDS) is just too dangerous
a disease to say that.”
Quote from: Dr. Harold Jaffee, chief of
epidemiology, National Centers for
Disease Control
“Simply put, condoms fail. And condoms
fail at a rate unacceptable for me as a
physician to endorse them as a strategy
to be promoted as meaningful AIDS
protection.”
Quote from: Dr. Robert Renfield, chief of
retro-viral research, Walter Reed Army
Institute
“Relying on condoms for ‘protection’ can
mean lifelong disease, suffering, and even
death for you or for someone you love.”
Quote from: Dr. Andre Lafrance, Canadian
physician and researcher
“Saying that the use of condoms is ‘safe
sex’ is in fact playing Russian roulette. A
lot of people will die in this dangerous
game.”
Quote from: Dr. Teresa Crenshaw, member
of the U.S. Presidential AIDS Commission
and past president of the American
Association of Sex Educators

Here’s what happened:
I did my best to answer Big Jv2’s question.
This was his question:
Now that I’m over being divorced and I’m ready to date again?
I almost find it easier to ask girls out if I already think they are going to say no, that way I’m pleasantly surprised if they say yes, and I’m not disappointed when they say no. Much like how I treat the Royal (being from KC I know they are going to lose so why get all worked up until they win).
How does your strategy work for picking up chicks or dudes?
Here was my response:
just be confident, friendly and try to be a little bit cocky. Most women do not want to be with a man who is not confident or one who has no sense of humor.
DO NOT:
- Start whining about your ex or how miserable it is to be you.
- be nervous. Women are people with problems, fears and desires…just like you
- brag about how much you know about everything
DO:
- listen to what they have to say and genuinely care.
- smile a lot (when appropriate)
- act like a gentleman
That’s all for today. This tired me out just thinking about dating again.

It’s how I roll…or used to before I got engaged

Additional Details:
Shut up Sam, I know how to charm the pants of ladies and give them a night of forgetable sloppy sex.
Do you think I answere his question or did I read too much into it? I have tried my best to help people. Am I wasting my time? Please let me know. If I read too much into it I am done with this site. It’s up to you folks.

I am 15 years old and I swim and I rap. This is a rap that I wrote after i’ve listen to some music. Let me know what you think.
Rolee: (Verse 1:)
You come hellacious, and facetious, with symptomatical paraplegic syndrome
Infatically, destroying analogies , not protecting your dome
Unfortionately disabled like grandfathers with long termed alzheimers
Braindeaded, full of retardation, while I’m killing your fatliners
Your unsuccessful at your disconnection, cause I deliver tumultuous deception
Destroying your complection, overuling your sound with powerful inflection
Of my voice cause it’s my choice, to be melodious, I’m tenacious
You can’t stop my destination, i’m heavily dedicated to make an impact
I keep strong lyrics intact, profitable lyrical syllables of mines pushes you Way back
Like cops on crooks prosecuting them for making money while selling dope sacks
You’ve been trash, since the day that you’ve tried to kill your dad
Vicious, malicious, competitions I rip, I use confirmational common – sense
I’m not convinced, of pointless punchlines , it’s crunch time on ya b****
How does it feel? – Is it all good and gravy
I want to let you know after I finish creating these metaphors that’s crazy
Your whole body is extinguishing with flames, limbs is servered
Seriously severe enough to use ya f****** coffin as my treasure
The blood gots my starvation and hunger advancing
When I lose my concentration, then that’s when ima’ start dancing
My spirit vanishes away from my homosapien flesh
I create science in my rhymes, to show you n***** that I am the best
I fabricate all the fornicated soldeirs that’s born from intercourse/
Heavily updating taditional skills to overcome the music source/
Magnificent causes and effects detects every undisciplined careless MC/
I desintegrate them, with devistating combinations like third degree/
Burns from the torture zones, I destroy and rebuild microphones/
I KO all of those tomato cans so I’m considered that boy rocky, syllvester Stallone/
Full volicity speed, I rip syllbles free, through ya arsenal and repertoire/
The peach master is going far/ how far?, away and gone and seperated from Disasterous Leagues/
I ignore critiques that ain’t feeding construction, despite my effort Combustions/
I get no credit for my ruggedness excellence, to me criticsm is basically Nothing/
Because these people be frontin’/
And it’s my daily discussion because i’m struggling to overcome the myths /
But I can really do it when I shut them up with an elite and vicious hit /
Liability, the main word that describes your presense, because you lack a Demension/
I leave you crying on dentention like LL Cool J’s 4321 record intervention/
I eat beef for dinner and lunch like Canibus, so shut your mouth because you Talk too Much/
Unawarness got your *** feeling really guilty and such/
It’s true that you display no defense when battling me/
You better try again and come hard with a diffrent useful strategy/
(Verse: 2)
Ideological immagination circulates through your whole brain/
I contemplate the deadliest scriptures, to show you that i’m insane/
I dismantle your formations of strategies, spilling blood on your philosophies/
Or prophecies when I unleash my stacks of my reformed anologies/
I’m literally unstoppable with ambiguous perceptions of grammar skills/
A certified lyrical hustler, ready to break anyone’s grills/
You better chill, one demensional, hasseler harrasing these unborned rookies/
Obstructionism is what I use to hypnotise these stupid lost pointless cookies/
I gather up my ammendments incorperating flows that’s endless
It’s so tremendous/infinitive, and visual, thunderously i’m clapping any Individual
Eternally elvoving through innovational aristical excellence as I compell it/
I read you any chapter from the bible to fulfill your needed blessings/
I’m complicated, because i’m complexed, convincing you to get upset
Now your losing your intrest, got you confused and dazed feeling so apathetic on the Set/
Of your emotion because I motivate/capsule/and cultivate these spiritual minds/
And like The Blind Boys of Alabama i’m gonna leave you all blind/
Just like that boy steve wonder/ hitting you with this african thunder/
So you can suffer crucial wounds from my gauntlet acupuncture/
You say me flee, freeze, please untill I speak in chinnese/
I’ll leave your slanty eyes bulging vividly and palpably like a you had a gray’s disease/
B***** please innovator, you ain’t no elevator/ you’s a inferatrated Perpatrator/They call me the mind stimulator when I drop hot s*** that’s like
This/I’m never gonna quit untill I catch a bomb crashing from the devil’s blinded Triple six

I have done a little cursory homework on the matter and found this source informative:http://www.thci.org/downloads/briefhist.…
Note, this was written by the Tufts Managed Care Institute in 1998 and should certainly be assumed to be friendly to HMOs. I would like to see more comprehensive sources as well.
From the linked article:
“In 1971, the Nixon Administration announced a new national health strategy: the development of health maintenance organizations (HMOs). The federal government would establish planning grants and loan guarantees for HMOs, towards a goal of increasing the number of HMOs from 30 in 1970 to 1,700 by 1976, enrolling 40 million people, and 90 percent of the population by 1980.”
Some important follow-up questions also arise:
Do you notice the impetus of increasing insurance coverage in these reforms? How does that rhetoric compare with what we hear today?
How well did they work?
Given that HMOs were a federal government creation, how confident are you that future federally sponsored reform will be effective?
What was the role of special interests in advancing the HMO reforms? How might they be influencing current reforms?
There is a great deal of debate on this matter without knowing our history. I would be interested in learning more myself and seeing some critical analysis with a historical reference.

As in most other situations in your life, the best strategy is to analyze and make a judgment, not just make a judgment and justify it through biased analysis. The latter only creates circular reasoning and logical fallacies.
There are too many people out there who blindly believe that God, however you define it (though especially in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam), is completely perfect because it says so. This leads some to claim that they would do anything their God/god asks them to do, even if it contradicts other morality, simply because they trust that everything it does has a purpose and that this purpose is good. Isn’t that empty morality, anyway?
If you say God (again, however you define it) is the source of morality and can freely change this as it wishes, then you are advocating the idea that its punishment ultimately determines good and evil, i.e. the end justifies the means.
This thinking is very backwards, and very wrong.

Republican Leader Michael Steele said: “If we’re going to start putting together a transformative strategy that people can trust, we’ve got to start trusting each other as Republicans,” Steele said. “Quite frankly, I’m a little sick and tired of the finger-pointing, and the name-calling, and the blaming and the whining.”
Is it true what he say about Republicans being whiny, finger pointing and name callers?

I am writing a research paper. APA style. I need to know how to do an in text citation for some internal corporate documents that pertain to company policy’s, procedures, values, strategy ect. There is no author; they are just internal company documents.
I have done the Google searches, and I have checked all my APA, and MLA style guides there is nothing. So please do not refer me to an APA or MLA website. That will not help me. I don’t think there is a formal way to cite these kinds of sources, so I am looking for suggestions on the best way to site them. I am more concerned about the in text citation then I am my works cited page.
I don’t know if this is relevant but this is a paper that analyzes a corporate business strategy, more specifically and organizational strategy. I am an MBA student.

Senator Obama’s tax returns are pretty interesting. In comparing his 2007 tax return to previous years, other than a very significant increase in income, the major change is that Senator Obama has found a pretty good tax planner. Senator Obama has implemented several tax strategies that have reduced his 2007 Federal income taxes and if he continues with this planning, he and his family will save millions over the next couple of decades. Every step of the Obama tax plan appears to be 100% legal.
It is well documented that between 2001 and 2004, the only noteworthy items in the Obama tax returns were that (a) their charitable contributions were negligible (less than $8400 with earned income of over $981,000) and (b) they amassed literally no savings over the four year period reporting a total of only $33 of interest income with earned income of over $981,000.
It is also well documented that in 2005 and 2006, the only noteworthy items in the Obama tax returns were that (a) their charitable contributions rose to 3.5% ($92,867)of their adjusted gross income which now included book proceeds and amounted to $2.6M, (b) they continued to amass virtually no savings with total interest and dividend income in 2006 amounting to $5700 while earnings exceeded $1.6M in 2006 and $991K in 2007 and (c) following Senator Obama’s election to the United States Senate, they reported an almost tripling of Mrs. Obama’s salary from the University of Chicago Hospitals to $316,962 and her new Boards of Directors’ fees of $45,000.
In 2007, Senator Obama gave $240,000 of his gross income of $4.2M to charity (5.7%). In 2007, Senator Obama began to orchestrate his new tax plan. He implemented three important tax planning ideas: (a) Senator Obama initiated a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) allowing him to contribute and deduct a $45,000 payment to a new personal retirement plan, a plan which will augment his governmental pensions and Mrs. Obama’s pension from University of Chicago Hospitals, (b) Senator Obama placed virtually his entire after-tax book proceeds into tax-free municipal bonds which produced non-taxable income of $45,000 and provided insulation against the recent stock market implosion and (c) Senator Obama created tax-free College Savings Plans for each daughter with a total funding of $240,000. (Senator Obama’s disclosure statements show these contributions to be between $200,000 and $500,000, but as no gift tax forms were filed, it is a professionally educated guess that these contributions were $120,000 for each child.) These plans will allow the Obama children to earn investment income without ever paying Federal income taxes if the funds are used for education.
Each of these tax planning steps would be recommended to Senator Obama by any competent tax advisor. While these opportunities are obviously available to anyone, only wealthy taxpayers have the funds necessary to implement such planning.
Tax savings – SEP: Federal tax savings in 2007 approximated $15,300. Assuming that Senator Obama’s book fees continue or he has other sources of income, by age seventy, with a six percent annual return, this retirement plan should have just short of $2 million of untaxed earnings and interest.
Tax Savings – College Funds: Federal tax savings in 2007 were none. Future tax savings will be significant. The $240,000 invested in these funds will create non-taxable income during the lives of the funds and annually and permanently save the Obamas about $6000 of Federal income taxes.
Tax Savings – Tax Exempt Income: Federal income tax saving in 2007 of approximately $15,000. The long term tax savings that could result from this strategy are very significant. If the amount stays at $45,000 of tax-free income, the annual savings will remain, at current tax rates, about $15,000 and through the Senator’s seventieth birthday, with reinvestment at the same tax-free rates, the Senator would have almost $2.8M with untaxed earnings of about $1.9M. ——— If he should continue the strategy with additional investment in tax-free securities, he could amass millions of dollars of income which would not be subject to Federal income tax.
Is the Senator’s tax and investment plan a good one? I think so.
Whether his tax plan to significantly reduce his Federal income taxes and maximize his family wealth comports with his stated political position to use the Internal Revenue Code to “spread the wealth”, I leave that to the reader.
