What action can I do to my ex-husband who doesn't return "my things before marriage" and "our things"?

My ex husband keeps "my things before marriage" and "our things after marriage" and he never returns my things and doesn't want to separate our things for 3years. Divorce hasn't settled yet. He agreed to my list( he returns my things before marriage and some of our things after marriage) through both lawyers in 2007 but it was verbal.
Recently he told his lawyer that he wouldn't return anything to me at all and would give only $ 1000 even "our things after marriage"'a value is more than $ 10,000. Some of my things are mother's crafts and paintings and I want to keep them and she wants me to keep them. She is old and if she dies, they become keepsake(momento) for me. I want him to rerutn things he agreed and share the value of "our things after marriage"( as money). What action can

Is it too late for me to think about becoming a doctor?

I am almost 19. I graduated highschool last year. High school was a bad time for me, I was emotionally stressed all the time. My grades were.. well... horrible. I only failed one class (in grade 10), but my marks were 60/70 range in grade 11 and 12. My highest mark was a 95, in art. I didn't take any extra science or math classes. Basically, I screwed around and should have focused on school instead of my issues.
I was looking at the Mcmasters website (for those of you who don't know its a medical university). It says I need all these classes from high school, and THATS what they look at.
My dream is become a doctor. Originally, I wanted to be a pediatrician... and was told by a teacher that I might as well give up on that idea.

How serious is matter of the NOAA thwarting FOIA requests?

We had a recent question here (well several) about the Inspector General report on the NOAA involvement in the Climategate emails. This questioner at Yahoo seems to want the issue to go away: http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlScchTImL3dLr1ZcGYvl.zAFQx.;_ylv=3?qid=20110224192510AAB0IFD

Well, I suspect Susan Solomon feels the same way. However, Sen. James Inhofe seems to feel quite differently about this: "It also appears that one senior NOAA employee possibly thwarted the release of important federal scientific information for the public to assess and analyze. Her justification for blocking the release was contradicted by two career attorneys in the Office of General Counsel. This is no doubt a serious matter that deserves further investigation. "

Troubles waking up, How to make it easier?

For the past year and half I've been with my boyfriend, and have become fed up with how heavy a sleeper he is. Well, I'm not fed up, but I'm searching for solutions to making it easier for him to wake up.

He only gets about 4hrs a sleep a night (yes, I know that more sleep will help waking up, but getting more sleep isn't an option)

He works from 6am-1am, working 3 jobs. It's also not an option to drop any of the jobs, or to be searching for a steady 9-5(with unemployment rates around here, and lack of job oppurtunities)
