Barack Obama is the only black Senator (and he is 50% white and Cherokee).

And if Gay people represent 10% of the population - then why are there only 0.0022% gay people in the House of Representatives (Barney Frank is the only one)?

And now that Larry Craig has resigned, there are no gay people in the Senate either.... so that's 0.00%

Yet Republicans claim that the minorities are trying to make "everything" about them....

Why is the Bush administration sending 160,000 troops to Iraq vs. 10,000 to Afganistan? Why did Bush switch focus to Saddam when Bin Laden is still at large? What is his logic behind these decisions?

My son is a month old and has an enormous appetite. I breastfeed and it seems that he never gets enough. He eats practically all day. I know breastmilk is supposed to digest faster, but sometimes he wont go 20 minutes without trying to eat. I've begun to supplement with formula as a last resort, only giving into the bottle when he cries at the breast. I want my son to receive as much milk as possible. Does anyone have any information on why he is so hungry all the time or any advice on how to up my supply?

i've been living with my British partner for lats 2 years in the UK. he suggest that I can get British passport a year after when we marry. My passport is good enough to let me go to any EU country without visa but I still need visa for USA and so on.. but im well educated person with a good job so it's not an issue but only hassle... some say it's important to have right passport to be successful.. I'm confused. I'm not desperate to get a better passport or to be a British. but would having a British passport improve my life?

We live in a 90 year old, 2 story home (plus basement). We are thinking about hiring someone to raise the home 2-3 feet so that the basement would be considered "usable square footage" (it's only 6' 6" now). Each level of the home is 700-800 square feet. We believe the foundation is in good condition, but are pretty sure there is some settling that has occurred. Any ideas on cost, time, and problems that may occur would be greatly appreciated.

The reason why I'M asking this is to see if there are any other "African Americans" such as myself that feel that this entire situation has been blown totally out of control by people like Al Sharpton, Rev. Jackson, Martin L. King lll, and many others of "our" race. Now maybe I'm wrong but where I come from when one individual is attacked by two or more people , those that are on the attacked are considered a "gang". Color has nothing to do with what is going on in Jena,LA and our "elders" know this.Racism is alive,I believe, because of those that continue to live in the past.The young man ,Mr. Bell who is incarcerated, has a prior juvenille record.This is NOT his first run in with the law (so reports say). And all those people that descended down on Jena,an estimated number of somewhere between 25-60 THOUSAND, selling t-shirts, b-bque, paid to load up on buses and so forth, why then didn't anyone contribute at least $5 apeice to his bail to help get him out

I have a 5 month old pup, who is the most curious, hyper and overall mischievous boy I've ever seen! I don't know how to calm him down; whenever he is ANYWHERE, he is always sticking his nose in something, knocking things over, pulling apart, digging, and exploring! I can't even have him in my bedroom because he goes CRAZY! He'll pull my clothes off of their hangers, grab all the trinkets off of my desk, pull my blankets off of the bed, and EAT anything that seems edible! I keep seeing these dogs (at other peoples' houses) that walk around peacefully, ignoring newspapers (which my pup will chew up on sight), blankets, and trinkets (like the remote controllers) along the way! How do they do it? Why aren't these dogs chewing up everything on sight?? My pup has MILLIONS of toys to play with, so why is he so interested in everything he SHOUDN'T be playing with?

One night not too long ago, I woke up in the middle of the night like I usually do and reached over in the darkness for my eyedrops. I fiddled around trying to get the top off and finally succeeded. I squeezed and squeezed on the bottle and couldn't seem to get any releif. I finally turned on the light and realized I had a bottle of Crazy Glue in my hand. I had used it earlier that night and left it on the nightstand. Do you think there might have been a miracle performed that night? Can you imagine how devastating that would be if I squeezed Crazy Glue in my eye? Tell me some other ones if you have any.

I met a beautiful soul by chance
He gets his message across peacefully and poetically
without ever losing his stance.
Spirit is lighty and uplifting
He's a breath of fresh air.
I have come to know him through words
and about him and his family I certainly care.
Each day he puts a smile on my face
He's been anointed by our lord
His supreme grace.
Enjoying the times we have now
But all I can say about Semper Fi Reborn
Is wow.
Thanks.

A 6-kg bucket of water is being pulled straight up by a string. The upward acceleration of the bucket is constant, with magnitude of 3 m/s^2.

The tension in the rope is then?

Now assume the bucket is accelerating downward, with magnitude 3 m/s^2.

The tension in the rope is then?

I need some help with this problem. Newton's Laws have really confused me. Any help would be great. Thanks!
