This daycare is run by child developmental experts, and all the teachers have master degrees in child development.
The teacher to student ratio is 1:1. Most other daycare centers have a ratio of 12:1.
They develop a specific program for each child, according to the individual developmental needs. So my son won't be stuck learning the ABC's with the other two-year-olds. He already knows his alphabets.
They only have 12 spots each year, so they can afford to be extremely selective.
I try hard not to be an anal parent who enrolls his child in a rat race in school, but I also want him to get the best learning experience.

I like the various drivable vehicles and boats in the game. It's kind of cool to steer a bulky fishing boat around.
My favorite weapon combo is the Uzi, the Dragonov, and the M249 SAW. I use the mortar at times too. It's a lot of fun to blast an enemy camp from very far away with the mortar, and they don't even know where it's coming from.

The best thing about Taiwan is the plethora of extremely tasty and cheap food. Too bad that I cannot share those with you. I still miss the breakfast I had in Taiwan. It cost less than 50 cents to have a good meal.
The people are very friendly too. Countless number of strangers greeted us, and many of them gave my son small toys or snacks. In general, Taiwanese are friendlier than American.

He woke up and was able to move his arms again, but the surgeon was not able to remove all the tumor. This means that he'll have to go through chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Both suck more than headcrabs.

Guinea Pirate got it right, but not for the right reasoning.
Prostaglandin causes vasodilation of the ductus arteriosus. This baby has coarchtation of the aorta, and when oxygenated blood traverses through the aorta after birth, the ductus starts shutting down, causing a hypoperfusion state in the systemic circulation.

Distinguishing things based on appearance is instinctual.
Isn't that how we distinguish between different types of headcrabs or Combines?
But what allows us to rise above that is to look beyond physical appearance.
I don't think it's historic because he's black. I think it's historic because I believe Americans just elected one of the greatest presidents in US history.
I don't care that he's black or white. I just think he's going to make a great leader.
But I guess the real test is time. We'll see what happens in the next twelve months.

No one got it right.
The correct answer is propionic acidemia.
Note the serum carbon dioxide of 4 mEq/L (4 mmol/L), and an anion gap of 28 mEq/L (28 mmol/L). None of the other choices could cause this degree of acidosis.

Yeah, the vehicle in Mass Effect could drive you crazy. I suspect that Bioware intentionally made it difficult to maneuver the vehicle. Why? I don't know.
Beyond the driving part, the game is amazing. The story is one of the best in all the games I've played.
I also played a little KOTOR, but I think Mass Effect is much better (gameplay and visual).

My old computer is a Athlon 3200+ XP with 2 GB of RAM and Radeon 9800 Pro card.
It's old, but not too shabby.
It can play HL2 and other Source games without a hitch.
Anyway, it sounds like you're ready to make a break with your life.
Best of luck with your new life.
I still remember the feeling when I got my first job as a doctor. It was so liberating.
I thought I'd be more scared, but I wasn't. Knowing that babies' lives would depend on my skills didn't scare me shitless, for some reason.
I never help him when he falls down. I ask him to get up on his own.
The ratio should be "student to teacher". I was typing too fast.
The teacher to student ratio is 1:1. Most other daycare centers have a ratio of 12:1.

...almost as nice as mine.
Not academically, per se, but I want him to learn how to relate to other children nicely.
It's a vital skill that many older children and adults are still trying to master.
I am teaching him the computer keyboard first. I taught him the spacebar, the Enter key, and the Backspace key today.
It is harder to solve complex math problems with sleep deprivation, however.
My opinion.
But doesn't this topic belong in the forum?
My favorite weapon combo is the Uzi, the Dragonov, and the M249 SAW. I use the mortar at times too. It's a lot of fun to blast an enemy camp from very far away with the mortar, and they don't even know where it's coming from.
I was trying to show him proper finger placement on the keyboard, but he wouldn't have it my way.
And the correct answer is "measuring creatine kinase".
Many of you guessed the right answer. I don't know how.
This patient most likely has muscular dystrophy.
The people are very friendly too. Countless number of strangers greeted us, and many of them gave my son small toys or snacks. In general, Taiwanese are friendlier than American.
I couldn't record it either, since I didn't know when the commercial would be on in advance. By the time I got my camcorder ready, it would be over.
Here is the link to my photo album for this trip: http://picasaweb.google.com/youngmd/Taiwan2009#
I will be back on March 12.
measurement of cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
Than "tan" is the giveaway. Elevated ACTH causes excessive melanine production, causing a "fake" tan.
This patient has Addison's disease. JFK also had this disease. That's why he looked so tanned all the time.
In a teenage girl, always do a pregnancy test.
You're all smart enough to figure out the right answer.
I hugged the mother and the grandmother afterward while they cried. It's truly depressing.
Life is so unfair.

electrocardiography and echocardiography
This baby most likely has congestive heart failure. A congenital heart disease frequently presents at around 2-4 weeks after birth.
But he dual-boots with Windows 7.
It's vitamin D deficiency.
Congratulations!
Beyond the driving part, the game is amazing. The story is one of the best in all the games I've played.

The gaming industry is cut-throat competitive, but if you have a degree it would make you stand out.
I also have the GTX 260 now. It's a sweet card.
I have the E8400 Wolfdale chip and 8 GB of 4-4-4-12 ram. Games fly on my machine.
