Iraq Withdrawal Move Thwarted in Senate
By ANNE FLAHERTY
Published: Wednesday, May 16, 2007

WASHINGTON - The Senate on Wednesday rejected legislation that would cut off money for combat operations in Iraq after March 31, 2008.

The vote was a loss for Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., and other Democrats who want to end the war. But the effort picked up support from members, including presidential hopefuls previously reluctant to limit war funding _ an indication of the conflict's unpopularity among voters.

The proposal lost 29-67 on a procedural vote, falling 31 votes short of the necessary votes to advance.

Seems the socialists could only get 29 votes in the senate for their seditious efforts.

3) The formula for calculating the amount of money returned for an initial deposit money into a bank account or CD (Certificate of Deposit) is given by
A=P (1+r/n)

A is the amount of returned.
P is the principal amount initially deposited.
r is the annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal).
n is the compound period.
t is the number of years.

Carry all calculations to 6 decimals on all assignments then round the answer to the nearest cent.

Suppose you deposit $10,000 for 2 years at a rate of 10%.

e) What observation can you make about the size of the increase in your return as your compounding increases more frequently?

f) If a bank compounds continuously, then the formula takes a simpler, that is A=PE where e is a constant and equals approximately 2.7183.
Calculate A with continuous compounding.

I was just diagnosed with an abnormal PAP and have the HPV virus on my cervix...Long Story short - had no idea I had this and I have never had warts and my Doctor told me that I dont have the Warts because I have a different type of HPV.

My boyfriend has scheduled an appt with the Doctor to find out if he has it, I was told unless the male has warts (which he doesn't) HPV is not detected in men and their is no way to detect it. Is this correct?

I am not talking about filing, but the exact reference to the law that mandates citizens pay the IRS income tax. I found that in 1936 a supreme court judge deemed the tax illegal, and that there has not been a ruling over-riding this.

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them:

I read a definition of perpetual motion from 1910, which does not read like anything I have seen from recently, I am already familiar with the definition that "It's impossible" and "This ain't it."

For a school project, I want to make a small elevator controlled by microprocessor. I want to program the way the elevator moves when people at different floor press the up/down button. Please let me know where I can buy the parts for such a project. (Microprocessor enabling motor, sensing the button pressed etc.)
