Today (Wednesday), Bush's EPA denied California the right to raise their own gas mileage standards. This is on the heels of Bush signing the latest energy bill yesterday that required all cars to obtain a 35 mile per gallon standard average by 2020. A very weak standard, considering China already has a 35 mpg standard for their cars.

Since California has so many cars, a more strict mileage standard would require automakers to build cars to reach the California standard, as opposed to the weaker national standard (they wouldn't want to make two sets of cars, one for California, and one for the rest of the U.S.).

In the Amy Winehouse song "You Know I'm No Good" she uses a couple of terms with which I am unfamiliar.

What does "Hand me your STELLA" mean?

What are "CHIPS and BITTER"?

Thanks a lot!

I recently lost my baby girl during birth this past August. The umbillical cord was tightly wrapped around her neck 2x. I have been devasted & depressed since my lost. I have an older daughter who's 18 months. The doctor's told me to wait 6 months. My husband's been VERY desperate & impatient to have another child because it feels SO empty not holding our daughter and doing so much that we've done with her oldest sister. I believe I am pregnant because I skipped my period and I've been having all the symptoms. I think I'm 3-4 months pg as my tummy's a round bump. I guess my hubby got what he wanted and I am lost feeling so guilty and undeserving. I'm scared to see the doctor's because of what they will tell me. Do you know anyone who's gone through such an experience with stillbirth or misscarriage and had gotten pregnant again right after? And what were the results of their pregnancy? I think the docs are more worried about the c-section wound (the insides) healing. I need answers....

I know, I know... another Tom Brady question. I know how much it must annoy some of you, but believe me... it annoys me more to read untrue trash about Brady then it does for some of you to read questions that defend him. If this question annoys some people though... don't read or respond to it. Very simple. These are the top things I have Brady accused of being: Smug, arrogant, a crybaby and unsportsmanlike. None of those are true of the guy. I'm not even going to explain why... I challenge all the people who dislike Brady to follow the Patriots like your a fan of theirs for a while... watch the games closely, watch postgame interviews with Brady, go to Patriots.com and watch the press conferences with him... just do some serious Brady research and then maybe you'll come of it saying to yourself "Wow... I was really wrong to ever label Brady like I did."

I had an extra marital affair with a single guy for about three months, about for years back. When I left the country he said he does not have any feelings for me, but by that time I was in love with him. So for four years now I've been writing to him and occasionally he also replies. Recently I got to know that he's had an affair and had broken off with the girl because she has cheated. He has really loved her and is going through a rough time at the moment.
I have told him I will love him no matter how many girlfriends he'll have but now I don't feel the love I felt for him after this incident. But, I still like him and miss him. So I still write to him.
If you were him will you think that I am trying to renew the affair?
