For a science career, possibly oncology(cancer treatment), which foreign language should I take during college
I am going to be a freshmen in college this fall. I am going to major in molecular biology, probably heading for med school after that. I want to do something in oncology (cancer treatment). My question is whether i should take something like Chinese, for the high demand of people fluent in Chinese, or should I take something like Spanish, since obviously there is a large Spanish population in the US?

Chinese Culture and language are something difficult-- yer rewarding. However, there might be a need for Chinese speakers, but that is mostly in the areas of the CIA or Medical Researcher, the former taking the top spot. Hispanic people still not graduating from college like they should and their population is to said the least, exploding. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2008-02-11-population-study_N.htm Much of the grow is from immigration, Therefore, people with low English skils. Taking Chinese would not hurt. But taking and Mastering Spanish will help. Even UCLA agrees: http://www.medstudent.ucla.edu/prospective/admissions/default.cfm?pgID=3

What is best investment fund that could pay dividends out for non profit group and pay for cancer treatment

What is best investment fund that could pay dividends out for non profit group and pay for cancer treatment?
In other words, is there a type of investment vehicle that could be used to make money residually that a non profit group could make withdrawals from in order to help pay costs for cancer patients that have been historically denied coverage by their insurance companies, but have been medically recommended treatments by their healthcare team?

An income fund with low management fees. For the stability needed, you aren't going to find much of a return. Look at VWINX or PRCIX or a mix of both.

Is it the vets fault for not testing my dog's blood before her cancer treatment which turned out to be toxic

Is it the vets fault for not testing my dog's blood before her cancer treatment which turned out to be toxic?
I later found out that the dog food I was feeding her was part of the recall. I had to put my dog of 16 years to sleep because she never quite recovered from the last cancer treatment which turned out to be a toxic punch from combination of the tainted pet food and the cancer treatment.

Cancer treatments -- generally chemotherapy -- are toxic by nature. I am deeply sorry for the loss of your dog, but 16 is very near the natural end of any dog's life. It is very possible even a blood test would not have detected the foreign material in the pet food that made her sick.

I am quite sad to hear about your dog, however you are right that tainted pet food can be a very common source of cancer, I found an interesting article about this on this site http://cancer-symptoms-and-treatments.blogspot.com/
