Deal or No Deal and Monty Hall Problem?

For the rules of these games, try searching them at Wikipedia.

My questions:

In the Monty Hall Problem in which the host always opens a door hiding a goat, the chances to win a car is greater if the player chooses to switch doors - that is 2/3 to 1/3. In “Deal or No Deal,” supposed the contestant is left with 2 briefcases; one he hasn’t opened yet and the other briefcase is the one he initially picked at the beginning of the game. And supposed that the only amounts remaining are $1 and $1M. If the contestant yells “No Deal”, what are his chances of winning the million bucks? 1/2 or still 1/26?

Supposed the contestant has four briefcases remaining: three he hasn’t opened yet and the other briefcase is the one he initially picked at the beginning of the game. And supposed that the amounts remaining are three small amounts and $1,000,000. If the contestant says “No Deal” and has to pick a briefcase to open, is it right to say that he has a 75% chance of NOT opening the $1M?

Should weed and other drugs be legalized?

I need your opinion, the way I think is that drugs should be legalized and controlled by the goverment, they can charge a heavy tax, and use the tax money to cure and feed people in needs. This way I think that drugs would be controlled. And the money would not be going to drugs dealers. Do you agree ?

LPN nursing jobs in NYC?

Before anyone says, “Don’t waste your time being an LPN, go right to school for RN”, I am early into the LPN program as I write this and am, as of this time, only going to go for the LPN.
That said, how is the job market for LPNs in New York City? Are there alot of jobs for LPNs in NYC? How is the pay? How is the pay compared to the cost of living in NYC?
Can you think of any other places where there are plenty of jobs for LPNs that pay well and the cost of living isn’t ridiculous? Someplace in New Jersey, perhaps, or Maryland, Delaware, or Virginia?
Here in PA, the average starting salary for an LPN at a hospital is between $13 and $15 per hour, at nursing homes it ranges from $14 to $18 per hour (for LPNs). I would desire to make at least $16 per hour to start (I want to be able to pay off student loans within a year, then save for a down payment on a house, buy the house, be able to pay bills and mortgage with plenty left over to save).

How do I get over the problem of having terrible headache before and after my periods?

I used to think it was malaria each time I had this terrible headache. Sometimes I have body weakness.
