I'm not sure a magnet would be considered a tool. It could be used to make work easier, but it seems it would take a really big one- like is used in metal recycling. I just want to know so I can teach my students correctly. Science is not my strong field!

Thanks in advance.

My DH works in a high school special education classroom. A student there (age 15 I think) was home with an illness for a week. His fever averaged about 103 and the mom said it spiked at 107. She never took him to the doctor, which personally I think is child neglect but so far no one seems to agree.

But here is my actual question. The boy is already severely autistic. He has no verbal language though he has signs for his needs. His achievement level remains at completing a moderately simple puzzle. But since the fever he has been experiencing rapid mood swings. He is happy one minute, angry and swinging at the wall the next, then in a couple of minutes he is happy again. Is this consistent with the possible brain damage from the high fever? If not, something else must be going on. Like any other person, he has always had mood swings, but not these rapid ones all day long.

Terry Jeffrey, News editor at CNS had one of his reporters ask Sen. Pelosi where in the constitution is Congress given the right to require Americans to buy health insurance. She was contemptuous and did not answer. Robert Gibbs, White House Press Secretary, said there was no veracity to the same question.

But there is. When Hillary Clinton tried to force health care down our throats in 1994, the Congressional Budget Office studied the matter and said "Never in the history of our country has the federal government ordered individual Americans to buy any goods or service."

Pelosi and her allies are indifferent to being bound by the Constitution! And if they do succeed in forcing us to buy health insurance, what else can they force us to do?

I have a night guard from the dentist because of my grinding my teeth at night. (I have to have a dentist's one due to other missing teeth.) How long can I expect it to last?
