My son wants to start collecting NFL football cards. I want to get him a starter set with holders and a binder. Where do I get the cards from? I'm only interested in finding current cards 2006-present. What are the trusted namebrands for football cards?

Go to a local card shop. You'll find them in the phone book. Also find a copy of Beckett Football Card Collector magazine. They will list cards and values of cards. I like Topps and Fleers. But there are a lot of different companies. I've been collecting since 1969. Topps used to dominate sports cards. Now there are a lot of different companies. You and your son have to decide why you want to collect. You can get sets, singles or players from certain teams. You also have to decide how much you want to spend. That's a big question. Some of the cards from 2006 are expensive. If you have any questions you can email me. I'd be more then willing to help you and your kid. It's a great hobby.

I am starting a youth soccer imtermural league and am a little uncertain on how big to strip the feild. I read that a 40 yard x 70 yard feild is good, but do you still strip the 6 and 18 the same way or the center circle?

I coached the same several years ago. I don't remember the size of the fields, but they varied as the ages went up. You might try checking AYSO or some equivalent site.

Good luck.

I've seen a few sites and question there baseball knowledge. And then there's the basics, Yahoo Sports, ESPN, CBSSportsline, etc. But is there a site out there that focuses strictly on fantasy baseball and nothing else? Maybe one that provides updated rankings throught the season with insights as to how each player is affected by what's happening around him at any given time? I'm looking for an edge this year as I have always gotten my @$$ handed to me in fantasy baseball and I'm tired of it! Thanks in advance!

i like The Sporting News. there use to be one called the 9th inning it was in association w/ thehuddle.com but it's gone. all i see is sports cards when i googled it.

I am curious as to how software is actually designed and built in the real world, as in the domain of software engineering. I can understand the programming languages themselves, it just seems that I cannot understand how they can be made into a software system for use in an embedded device or on a PC. Is there any automation to the software design process? What tools are actually used to develop software?

I've also heard that code for a lot of different tasks is placed in libraries, and this code can be referenced when the code you are coding is being built and incorporated in the final product. How do you find which libraries and code that you need?

I also wanted to ask if the graphical user interface code is kept separate from the actual program code, and the GUI is an "interface" to the program. Can GUI libraries be used?

carefully

there are lots of programs that can be used see:

might be a good look at as well

oh and take a course in comupter programing to learn more

I would like to have internet that I can use when I travel. What does verizon charge? And how does this work? Is it unlimited use for internet? How fast is the internet connection?

What kind of phone do you have? Or are you talking about the broadband wireless access card?

I have an EnV, and I subscribe to Vcast to get unlimited internet, Vcast access, and Get it Now! for $15/month.
If you don't mind using your minutes while you're online, there is a $5/month plan for that too.

On my phone the connection is really pretty fast, as long as the webpage doesn't have too many graphics. A lot of services have special pages made specifically for mobile access- like Gmail and facebook load very quickly are are very easy to navigate.

If you are looking for the broadband card, I don't personally use it, but I attached some links from Verizon's website as well as another Y!A question on this topic with a good answer below. There's even a place where you can "test drive" it, so maybe it will give you a feel of how fast it is? Not sure how that works. But it looks like they are charging $79/month for the unlimited access plan, which is the only one I see available.

Good luck!

I have a laptop computer that will be turned on 24/7 on the roof of my building (I won't go into the why). Anyone know the best approach to shield this laptop from the elements? (ie, rain and heat). I live in los Angeles so it doesn't rain that much, although I'm concerned the summer heat might cook the laptop.

Any ideas? I'm thinking about putting it in a cooler of some sort, but I'm not sure if there's enough ventilation. I'm also concerned about rain.

sounds like you are a terrorist and are using your computer for illegal activities. maybe a call to the FBI will get you the answer to your question

I am enrolled in college courses via internet, and I know nothing bout the schematics of computers or their operation.

It’s funny how most of us don’t understand the technology we use.

The answer is.. uhh.. magic.

This kind-of-sort-of explains it:

The problem is, technology and reality are so complex, that it’s hard to explain one thing without having to understand the entirety of existance.

My husband was just wondering what the different lightning bolts mean on the bottom of the cars. Some are gold, silver and others don't have any at all. Are there some cars better to collect than others? Thanks for your help!

Without seeing the specific car I cant give specifics. I think what you have is cars made by Johnny Lightning. In the late 60's early 70's Topper made these. The quaility compared to Hot Wheels and Matchbox was pretty poor. I have no idea how collectable these are. I think they are junk. Some of them may have a slot for a race track that was also offered. A tab went into the slot so the car could be launched at the top of a ramp, a friend of mine had one. Ten or fifteen years ago the name resurfaced as part of Playing Mantis. They have offered movie cars, and various other themes. The quaility of these is second to none and the detail for cars in this price range is excellent. The price is usually higher than Hotwheels and Matchbox but I think they are well worth it.

I want to start a business with sells products to automobile dealers…Any suggestions on how to present this information without bothering them to greatly as with respect to their time?

Call and try to set up an appointment with the manager or owner. Good luck! I tried this a couple years back and every single one was extremely rude…never got an appointment.

My brother who is now 24 yrs old has Multiple Sclerosis (MS). He went from jogging 2-3 times and week, playing basketball everyday to barely holding his self up. He can't walk more than 5 feet without leaning on someone or something. This kills me! He had minor symptoms of MS in the beginning but as soon as he started taking his medicine, it got a lot worst I believe.

I just wanted to ask what medicine do you MS patients have? My brother said Mitt Romney's wife has it and hers have went into remission after she started taking "eastern" medication. I don't know if that's true or not. If someone that has MS can tell me what type of medicine there doctor has them using and after what time period did they start seeing results? Please ONLY MS patients need reply

If you have a story on how you overcame it or how a treatment effected your MS in a good way, please share your story. Your reply would be appreciated! Thanks!

I'm very sorry to hear about your brother. What I can tell you is that MS affects everyone who has it differently. So does the medications to slow down its advancement. While I can't speak directly to his MS (I don't know what kind he has), I can tell you about mine (I have RRMS), and my successes.

I had one episode of Optic Neuritis, some tremors, and some right arm muscle weakness. That seems like no big deal, but if you were to see my MRIs, two within a six month period, my brain told a different story. It looked like Swiss cheese. And the second MRI showed significant advancement.

Time to start medication. The CRAB drugs (Copaxone, Rebif, Avonex, and Betaseron) essentially do the same thing. The differences between them are the frequency of dosings, the locations of shots, and the side effects. I chose Copaxone. It sports the least side effects, but the highest dosing frequency (every day).

While my symptoms slowly got better over the next year, they again didn't tell the whole story. My MRI a year later showed that I had no new lesions, no active lesions, and the ones I had were shrinking. Guess I picked the right medicine.

But when do you know you are on the wrong medicine? The drugs usually take about six weeks to gain efficacy. After that, my doc would say that if you have two or more flare ups within a six month period, or if you have abnormal brain scans, it may be time to change the medication. Each one of the formulations works in a slightly different way, and everyone responds differently to them. In your brother's case, when he started taking his meds, he was already that far along with his disease. The thing to remember about the meds is that they don't cure MS. They simply slow its progression and make exacerbations less severe and last for a shorter duration.

Your brother's neurologist will work with him and together, using the entire body of evidence (symptoms, neurological exam, MRIs, etc), they'll decide if it's time to try a new medicine.

Good luck, and I wish you both well.
