Sarah--
I answered this for someone last night. Judging from the writing, I think I answered it for you. I have tried to find the original, which I think was posted under SCIENCE but I can't find it. Is there some specific question you have about any of my answers?

If you can't get the answer from there it must mean that you don't understand all or portions of what I wrote for the answer. Thus it will do little good for me to simply repeat what I wrote (which I had started to do but stopped). Therefore, please explain what you don't understand and I shall try to rephrase my reply.
