Maybe its time to consider recruting Bush and his war-loving neocons.


Washington - Thousands more mid-level enlisted soldiers are leaving the Army than in each of the past 2 years, forcing the service to increase its use of pay-to-stay programs and find other ways to keep GIs in the fold.
Four years into the fight in Iraq, the Army continues to be successful in retaining enough soldiers overall – "a miracle" to some observers, because the war has lasted so long. But that success masks a growing problem within the ranks: Fewer mid-grade sgts are opting to stay in the Army as many face yet another deployment to Iraq – &, more important, Army officials say, less time at home.. Many consider the declining rate among mid-grade sergeants to be a sign of potential bigger reenlistment problems for the Army down the line. In addition, the fact that more mid-level soldiers are leaving could have a long-term impact on the Army's ability to grow future leaders.,

hi. i am asking this question one more time as every time beofre that i have asked it i get a repsonse that the answer is 0. i have been told by a maths person it is not 0

i would like to find out how to solve this problem

i would like to evaluate the integral -5 to 5 | sqrt 3x^7+x^1/7| dx

the bar represents absolute value

the maths person said it was not 0 because

Yes the integrand is the absolute value of a function. Let's call that
function inside the absolute value signs, f(x).
Now f(x) itself is an odd function, which is to say that it satisfies:
f(-x) = -f(x)
However, f(x) is positive for x > 0.
So, for x > 0 (so that -x < 0) we have:

|f(-x)| = |-f(x)| = |f(x)|

which is to say that the absolute value of an *odd* function is *even*,
Now, when you integrate an *odd* function between symmetric limits, i.e.between -T and T for some real number T, the integral from -T to 0 cancelsout the integralfrom 0 to T ... and so the result is 0.
ths for any help

Trans fat, existing only from the artificial partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, is terrible for your health and not needed in any levels in your body. It's completely artificial, and is only used because it saves companies a little bit of money, and makes food taste a little better - it lasts longer and keeps foods more moist.

However, while this oil makes the salty, fatty foods served at most fast food and chain restaurants even worse for you, restaurants continue to use it. There are oils out there like sesame seed oil and olive oil which even when processed, are still good for your health, filled with beneficial unsaturated fats.

I just want to know why more isn't being done to prevent these restaurants from removing trans fat from their menus? New York City has passed a law banning it, but how far behind is the rest of America? Couldn't the huge healthcare debts in America be subsided significantly if trans fat were eliminated from all foods?

I like this guy, but does he like me only as a friend or more?
I have known this guy for about 4 years now. Just recently we have begun to talk to eachother again. A friend of mine has told me clearly that she 'knows' he has a crush perhaps on me because of something that has happened recently. Last weekend I had come back from the club and my 'guy friend' called me to ask if I was still coming over to his house. (Earlier I had called him to tell him I would be coming to his house) I told him that I was already home and had changed my clothes He said "ok well I was going to say i have a car, but nevermind." I physically slapped my forehead for being so naive, so I persuaded him to come pick me up and he did. He came to my house to pick me up at 2 AM. We were at his house and we watched a DVD but at the corner of my eye I noticeed that he would glance at me for a long period of time and then turn away. Also, he playfully slapped my thigh like 5 times. Oh and I gave him a scratch on his arm and he asked me to make it feel better- a kiss on his arm.

Do they think CNN showing footage of terrorists killing American troops shows support for our troops? Can they point to fake stories a la NY Times or Dan Blather? I'm sure they pine for the days when they could publish their lies without being so easily found out. Now they're just angry and bitter the viewership at MSNBC, CNN, etc. is in the toilet while FOX has become the news source of choice.
