Instructions from the Expert:

I do not have the time to answer homework questions, sorry.  They will either be sent to the question pool or rejected.  Also, you shouldn't be cutting and pasting your homework questions anyway! (I see alot of those).  Do the research yourself, google or any other search engine is a great tool.  Realistically, it's what I would use.  Either that or 'good old fashioned books'.
