My fiancée has been experiencing pretty severe pain in her left shoulder, arm and hand for about the last two weeks. She saw our family doctor last week and has another appointment tomorrow. We're looking for some more pointed questions to ask. Details inside.

US citizen living in Canada, didn't file a US return in 2006 for my meager graduate student stipend. Should I file a late 2006 US return now, even though I know I don't owe anything?

I'm an American living in BC with about $20K in consolidated Stafford loans. I moved up here two years ago for graduate school at UBC. I've since graduated, secured gainful employment and have applied for permanent residency. My student loan repayment begins soon and I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to do the actual paying.
I heard that the Dept of Ed will give you an interest rate reduction if you setup direct withdrawal from a bank account. Is this possible with a Canadian bank? If not, is there another way to setup automatic payments? Any other hidden gremlins of loan repayment from abroad, both physically and financially?

Is the portrayal of CPR in tv/movies totally bunk? I read somewhere that CPR can't actually return someone to consciousness, but rather just keeps them alive long enough to receive more advanced medical treatment. Is this actually the case, or could CPR alone revive someone?

I'm going for a pretty significant (and overdue) upgrade on my desktop PC and as part of this, I'm considering water-cooled system. I looking at a
Core 2 Duo Conroe 2.66 GHz CPU,
eVGA GeForce 8800 GTS and similar motherboard/RAM. I'm looking for a solid water-cooling setup that will be reliable and
quiet. Basically, I'm wondering about kits vs. a la carte, solid manufacturers, general considerations, etc.
