What is the difference between being on probation and being on parole?

lanfranco

"Parole" refers to the early release of a prisoner on condition that he or she will observe certain requirements of behavior and be monitored in order to ensure compliance. "Probation" is a sentence imposed in lieu of jailtime, again on condition that the probationer obey certain rules and regularly report to a monitor.

What is the difference between being disabled and being handicapped? What is the difference between being HIV+ and having AIDS? What is the difference between an embryo and a fetus? I have seen these two being used interchangably in texts so I'm confused. Can any one seriously explain the difference between 'having a drink problem' and being an 'alcholic' and what makes one person an alcholic and not another ?
