The situation with Iran is quite troublesome. They really don't need to refine nuclear fuel since Russia has guaranteed all they could need. This really makes their intent questionable. OTOH, a trigger happy approach will not be good either. China has become the second largest energy consumer in the world and Iran is their biggest supplier. Any attack on Iran that destabilizes the energy supply to China is an attack on China. This situation has enourmous potential to create a real worldwide conflict.

I think that's probably a good question for Findlaw's Message Boards. Try the board on Debt & Bankruptcy. There's a number of attorneys that are regulars there.

The cost of living is likely the primary factor for job exports. There are many nations where the cost of living is significantly lower than any U.S. city. Workers of these nations do not need the same income as an american worker for the same job. A worker in India earning $20,000 is making the equivalent of $100,000 U.S. dollars. It comes as no surprise that an american software manufacturer can export jobs that cost $70,000 annually in the U.S. to India where he can get 3 programmers for that price and save $10,000. Even at $20,000 those 3 workers in India are earning $30,000 more annually than their american counterparts. They are not underpaid, sweatshop workers; in their country they are the upperclass. For the software manufacturer this is good business; he is simply cutting the cost of manufacturing. Globalization of the economy is another key factor. As long as there is a huge disparity between the economies of the world there will be a significant incentive for those nations with poor economies to solicit the work of the world at bargain prices. We cannot blame those nations for doing what they must to provide opportunity for their people. Feeding globalization is the growing ability to communicate. The internet and the spread of knowledge will plague the american worker for years to come. Education that was once hard to obtain in third world countries will become more and more available to remote people of the world. As these people become more educated and more capable to do skilled work, american leadership as a skilled workforce will become more and more diluted with the burgeoning skill of workers elsewhere. Skilled, educated workers in nations with a low cost of living will enjoy an enormous influx of jobs exported from countries with a higher cost of living. Contributing also is the ever growing efficiency of world transportation. Transportation systems utilizing cargo vessels with modular components to unite shipping with locomotive and truck transport operations make it more and more affordable to build anywhere in the world and ship the product to the destination market. This is an enabling technology that will continue to assist the world's manufacturers to locate their operations in the most cost effective locations on the globe. The american worker will no longer enjoy a job here just because it is cheaper than the freight to get the finished product to America. IMO, these factors will be more significant in job exports than America's investment in it's infrastructure.

This is effectively an attempt to legislate the class people belong to or a compression of society's classes. This will never happen in a capitalist society.

Do the math for all 3 answer choices of X. You'll find one solution for X=183.2 and 2 solutions for X=120.74. I've given the acute answer for X=120.74 above but there is also an obtuse solution as well. There is no solution for X=96.58 (Can you figure out why?). That means that D is also incorrect since there are valid solutions for choices A & C.

No overestimate is needed. If you drive up the labor cost for any products those products will go up. If it costs the manufacturer of yarn more to produce yarn then he must charge more. Now the carpet manufactrurer must pay more for yarn so he charges more to maintain his margin. Now the homebuilder must pay more for carpet so he must charge more to produce housing aqnd maintain his margin. Increased costs cascade through industry. Employers are screaming for guest workers because they will work for the current minimum wage and today's low end american workers won't. I know one young man that's never had a job and he says he won't have a job until someone gives him $12 an hour to start. He doesn't care that he has no skills, he wants a position, not a job. Like I said before, if you can't see the difference at $10, make it $15, $20 or even a $100. Calculate how much everyone else's wage will have to go up to maintain their current purchasing power.

That's bad. Unions will only result in exporting jobs in the global economy. Unions had their place in years gone by when there was no OSHA and no Dept. of Labor to protect worker's rights. Look at how GM and Ford are doing in the world marketplace. Foreign products are beating them on their own turf and it's not because foreign auto workers are being mistreated or poorly paid. Foreign auto workers are not strong arming the hand that feeds them and driving their employer into bankruptcy.

Bad assumption. If it were 90° though: sin23/183 = sin 136/h by the law of sines. This yields h=325.345. Now x=h*sin21=116.593, not 116.591 or 116.597 and certainly not c (120.74). Also, if x = 120.74 and we call the unknown angle y we can write sin21/120.74 = siny/325.345, thus y=74.94°, not 90°.

No, workers should be free to negotiate the price they will work for.

That's a bad thing if we're talking AC. The speed governor should try to maintain a constant RPM regardless of load so that the AC frequency doesn't vary. The voltage should be controlled by a variable voltage across the exciter winding. As load increases, amperage, it will try to pull the engine RPMs down and the governor should try to rev it back up to maintain the required frequency. Ideally the RPMs will be constant and a tuned exhaust will offer the most efficient attenuation.

No. A vacuum is simply the absence of atmospheric pressure. Once you're done to 0 PSIA, the pressure in space, that's as low as it gets.

Even if it were marked a right angle there would not be enough information to solve the problem.

The price of a Big Mac would jump to $5. It would also increase unemployment. Short economic lesson: To make profit a company must pass on ALL of it's costs to it's customers. Their profit is that amount above those costs in the price. By raising a company's cost it must find a way to integrate that into the business that still results in profit. Without profit there's no point to being in business. Forcing businesses to increase their labor cost will result in two major adjustments. To keep costs down in order to reduce the need to increase prices, businesses will let people go and try to get by with a smaller work force, thus increased unemployment. Once they have reduced their cost as much as possible by this means they will increase their prices as needed to achieve their profit margin ratio. That ratio is their goal and they will do what they need to achieve it. Minimum wages fix nothing in the economy and should be eliminated. If you have a hard time seeing that with small increases try imagining what happens if you raise it to $100 and put yourself in a fast food manager's position. It shouldn't take you long to figure out what you must do if you want to stay in business to make money.

My natural gas bill for the last 3 Januarys: 2004 = $166 2005 = $120 2006 = $144 My running 12 month average is $62 and January is usually my peak month.

That's all the truck systems do that I've seen, they spray the air filter just to make the intake air volatile.

You might try adding a wee bit of acetone too. I've heard it helps the fuel atomize a little better coming out of the carb. The mixtures I've seen suggested 1 - 3 oz. in 10 gallons.
