Answer: For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 I think this would be a great fact to put on your tatoo, or if it is too big... just put John 3:16 and people can look it up on their own.

Question: What information is shown to the subscriber of health insurance? What information is shown to the subscriber of health insurance? I am under my parent's insurance and need to go to the doctor for personal reasons that I do not want them to see. Will it show specific information like what was done and what prescriptions I got, or just general information like office visit and Rx? I am NOT a minor!

Answer: well probably yes because we get mail when our son or our daughter they are still under our health insurance plan and want to get out of it but we always get other mail saying like thank you for your visit to what ever hospital or dr's office so hope this helps!

Question: What information would be helpful for domestic and international travel? The company I work for is putting together an information packet for our employees when they travel. What sorts of information do you think would be helpful to have for international as well as domestic travel? Anything that you can think of would be great, some ideas we have are hotel amenities, passport information, travel itinerary. Can anyone think of anything else? I really appreciate your help.

Answer: Medical . Make sure which medical facilities accept your med aid or insurance. Make contact with medical facilities beforehand and keeptrack of procedure . Security. Make sure you know what the crime rating is for areas you are going to visit. Get security contact numbers for assistance. Find out if Police services are user friendly. Use a gps for travel in areas you are not familiar with. Make sure you know how to stop bank cards and how to have new one issued incase to are mugged or lost one. Email certified copies of all your personal stuff ie pasport,drivers licence ,bank details,medical insurance etc to your self. You can then retrieve copies of anything you lost from a secure internet facility ie at a hotel.

Question: What information is contained in my US Federal Tax Return e-file transmission to the IRS? Is there more or less information included than in a paper return filing? I like the convenience of e-filing, but not if I am transmitting more information about my return than is legally required. I am concerned in general about privacy and not providing any more information to 3rd parties (yes, even if it is the US government). Thanks!

Answer: Actually, the IRS gets less information in an e-filed return. "White paper statements" or attachments are not part of the data that the IRS initially feeds into their system. For example, if you decided to list all of the charitable deductions you had and attached that to your return (or it printed out a statement in your computerized version of the return), that information is not looked at. The critical information, name, SS#, and then data per line is transmitted. Possibly, that is the purpose of the hundreds of IRS forms instead of having attachments.

Question: What is the difference between Information Warfare and Information Operations? I see both terms used interchangeably and I don't understand why. Information Operations is a term used by the US Department of Defense, defined in Joint Publication 3-13, but I don't see a reference for Information Warfare. The US Navy has Information Warfare officer and programs, but I don't see how Information Warfare is defined. Can anyone help me?

Answer: Joel -- You've got a good question there. It sounds like a cop out, but the Navy tends to be a little bit sloppy in establishing doctrine and using joint lexicon. You correctly point out that "Information Operations" is a joint term and Navy has signed on to it. Nevertheless, we still use the term Information Warfare, and you are right -- it is generally used to mean the same thing as IO. See the link below and you'll find IW referring to the same warfare areas that you'll see defined in JP 3-13 or JP 1-02.

Question: What information would I have to put into a form tag to post a personal page with inputed information? I want to add pages to my website so that visitors can input information into a form and then submit the information and have a new page created much like a profile page. I would like to keep it in html and not get into php. Can this be done?

Answer: Not with a static language like HTML. What you want to do will require a server-side scripting language and a database. Ron

Question: How could I find information on cap rate scenarios for raw land? If a large amount of raw land in a prime location is going to be marketed with cap rate scenarios (resort hotel, mobile home park, storage units, campground, shopping center, business offices, etc.), how could I find information on each of these scenarios? This information would have to include a rough estimate of building costs, loan information, rents, taxes, etc. Is there any way to get this information more easily than spending countless hours on dead ends? PLEASE HELP! The information would be to help potential investors decide what to do with the property.

Answer: This is a huge topic that cannot be completely covered here. I am a commercial Realtor in Texas, and I deal with development and raw land deals on a regular basis. CAP rate scenarios only truly apply to existing, income-producing properties. All you can do with raw land is create a prospectus. A prospectus is basically a business plan with a bunch of variables, one of which can be a CAP rate on the investment. This is directly tied to the NOI (annual Net Operating Income), which insinuates that the development is already built. A developer has 2 ways of making money based on a CAP rate. The first is to hold the property over a long period of time, and collect revenue (like a landlord). The second is to fill the spaces (like in a retail center) and establish cash flow, and then sell the property to an investor on a pure CAP rate calculation. These two methods are very different in planning and execution. Over the long term, a developer will try to get around a 15% return (not truly a CAP rate here) on his initial investment. That means that if they plan to spend $10,000,000 buying the land, building the building, paying commissions, paying management fees, etc, then they should earn an income of $1,500,000 in year one (before debt service, aka the loan payments). Because there are so many risks involved, the percentage must be high. If the developer plans to sell right after leasing all the spaces (like in a retail center), then they sell the building based entirely on the CAP rate. If the building is 90% leased and earning $1,500,000 a year (after expenses), then they could likely sell to an investment group at an 8% CAP rate, which equals $18,750,000. If it only cost them $12,000,000 to build, then they profit over 50% on the deal (although this is not a CAP rate... it is a profit margin). Without knowing where you are, it is impossible to guess what construction costs are. Also, the different developments vary immensely in price per foot, so it is impossible to speculate. If a real estate group is advertising a raw piece of land with a CAP rate, just ignore it... it is just bad marketing. You cannot do a CAP rate this way at all. The only way this could be done is if the site plan is already done and approved, which shows exactly what sort of buildings are to be built and what sort of zoning is allowed, and perhaps if there are already leases signed in advance. But even then, there is no way to predict exactly the costs to build, so the conversation is moot. In other words, the only person that can predict the CAP rate of any property is the developer himself. Any rates determined by others is just a marketing ploy. If you would provide more specific info on what you are looking for, I might be able to assist you further. It would be good to know the following: -What part of the country/state you are in -How big of a development you are talking of -What use specifically are you wanting (a retail prospectus is completely different than a self-storage prospectus) -Are you looking at this from the seller's perspective, or the buyer's? -Will this be an in-fill project (other parcels nearby are all occupied) or a pioneer project (lots of other vacant land in the area). That's all I have for now.

Question: What information is a school allowed to give out? Can a college give information like your attendance records, gpa, schedule, or whether or not you're dorming to someone with no permission? My school has given out so much information to people who had no right to know and I want to know if they're even allowed to do that. Is there a website that has my privacy rights as a student? I'm 20 if it makes a difference. It's not like I'm 17 and a minor or something like that. If my gpa isn't considered private then what is?

Answer: The information that you described is not considered "private" and is not covered by the Privacy Act of 1974 or by HIPAA. The college would be free to disclose this to anyone who requested it (unless you have signed some type of non-disclosure agreement with them).

Question: Was the first living cell programmed with information by God or by random physical forces? Bacteria may be the first living organisms. Even the most primitive bacterium is programmed with complex information in DNA. If the first bacterium were assembled from inanimate chemicals, where did its DNA information come from? Is it possible to get information from random physical forces, or must it come from an intelligent designer? If the information in the genetic code came from random physical forces, is there any other instance of random physical forces assembling even simple information, much less the genetic code to build a living organism?

Answer: We know from our experience that we can convey information with a twenty-six-letter, or even with just two characters, like zeros and ones used in the binary code in computers. But it's important that the letters go in the right order. Order makes the difference unite and untie. The same is true for genes. In DNA, there are long lines of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts that are precisely arranged in order to assemble the amino acids into proteins. Different arrangements of characters yield different sequences of amino acids. For more than fifty years, as scientists have studied the six feet of DNA tightly coiled inside every one of our body's one hundred trillion cells, they have marveled at how it provides the genetic information necessary to create all of the different proteins out of which our bodies are built. In fact, each one of the thirty thousand genes that are embedded in our twenty-three pairs of chromosomes can yield as many as 20,500 different kinds of proteins. The presence of such specific information in DNA raises a critical issue. If you can't explain where the information comes from, you haven't explained life, because it's the information that makes the molecules into something that actually functions. Bill Gates once said that DNA is like a software program, only much more complex than anything people have ever devised. At Microsoft, Gates uses intelligent programmers to produce software. In an analogous way, many scientists today believe that it makes sense that an intelligent being 'programmed' DNA. It seems that a number of skeptics above favor the RNA-1st hypothesis. The RNA-1st hypothesis says that the first cell was reproduced by using RNA instead of DNA. Like DNA, RNA can store information and even replicate. Some small viruses use RNA as their genetic material. But because RNA molecules are simpler than DNA, some scientists thought they might be more likely to form through natural processes or pure chance. Although popular for a while, the RNA theory has generated more than its share of skeptics. The main problem is that the RNA molecule would need a certain minimal amount of information to function, just as DNA would, so we're right back to the same problem of where the information came from the first place. Dr. Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the double-helix structure of DNA, has conceded: "An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going."

Question: What information is a potential employer allowed to ask when contacting Social Security? What information is a potential employer allowed to ask when contacting Social Security about the work record of a potential employee? And what information can Social Security divulge? I'm looking for facts not just an opinion. If you have a source please leave a link and I do appreciate it. Thanks for your help.

Answer: I do not believe Social Security will share any information with anyone (except the person who is covered). The employer needs to contact the references and past employers for this info.

Question: What information will an employer release about a former employee? I am not sure if this is a legal issue, but I have heard that many employers are reluctant to release information for fear of lawsuits. For example, an employer might discuss a former employee's job title and dates of employment, but not salary information or reason for leaving.

Answer: You are absolutely correct. They never verify what the salary was (that's why I get $10K bumps per job hop) nor do they verify why you left. They do verify your dates of employment and title.
