- Question:-Sarah Palin Endorses Ohio Issue 2 As Anti-Union Measure Heads To A Vote. Do you think it will win? If so, why?
Ohio's Issue 2, a referendum on a controversial law curtailing collective bargaining rights for public employees, picked up the endorsement of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin Friday.
A "yes" vote on the issue would uphold S.B. 5, which bans public employees from being able to collectively bargain for benefits and requires employees to pay a certain percentage of their health and pension benefits. A "no" vote repeals the law.
Answer:- - Question:-What animals are protected under Ohio's Issue 2?
More specifically are horses protected? Because it states livestock, but horses are considered companion animals right?
If they are included, how will it affect the Horse Slaughter laws?
Answer:-What animals are protected under Ohio's Issue 2?
The Indiana chip ferret
The Leserovtu weevils
The Moon marmot
The Ohio Water Buffalo
Various tits - Question:-If you were a registered voter in Ohio, how would you vote on State Issue 2?
State Issue 2 limits the collective bargaining rights of public employees, including police, fire, teachers, nurses, social workers, etc. What is your reason for your vote?

Answer:-http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=ohio%20issue%202
Here ya go. One happy websearch on "ohio issue 2" - Question:-Why was Ohio Issue 4 withdrawn from the ballot? Your thoughts on this proposed law?
Why was Ohio Issue 4 withdrawn from the ballot? I thought this was supposed to be a vote for the people. Why couldn't the people get a say in this?
Anyhow.....
It requires businesses with 25+ employees to provide their employees with at least 7 days of sick leave.
Critics say:
-This would kill jobs in Ohio as it would persuade businesses not to move here
-This would make it easier for people to cheat by missing work when they aren't sick
Well guess what.....
1. There are far more issues of greater importance when deciding where to move, and businesses don't moving decisions based on issues of that low level of pettyness.
2. Not having sick people come to work and spread their germs is far more important than 'catching cheaters'.....people who cheat on sick leave is an unfortunate side effect but it's a small price to pay in order to have a germ-free working environment. & besides, if someone doesn't show up to work, but they dont fall behind in their work, what harm does that do?
3. Most businesses already provide their employees with more than 7 days of sick leave. That's what they are already providing them with! So why not just make it an official right, given the importance it plays in not having sick people coming to work?
Your thoughts?
And for the record: The more vacation time people get; the more well-rested and energized they will be when they do show up. That could lead to increased effeciency rather than decreased.
and 7 days is hardly anything.
If you're against this proposed law..............then tell me, do you expect sick people to come to work when they are:
A. in terrible condition
B. contagious and spreading germs to tohers
?
others*
Answer:- - Question:-Should we vote Yes or No on Ohio Issues 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in 2006?
Answer:-Vote wisely on the issues! - Question:-how did issue 2 for ohio about clean ohio get on the ballot?
Answer:-The measure has a bi-partisan base of support. Gov. Ted Strickland, Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, House Speaker Jon Husted and Senate President Bill Harris are co-chairmen of the campaign supporting passage of Issue 2
http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Ohio_Issue_2_(2008)
When both major parties support an issue it gets on the ballot easily. - Question:-Should I vote "yes" or "no" on issue 2 in ohio?
I'm not really up to date with politcal details, so could someone explain to me what is the adavatages/disadvantages if I vote yes/no?
Answer:-the state has a monopoly on public jobs such as police fire and teachers. But they want to limit the rights of workers to negotiate a wage? If you trust that the goverment is going to give people a fair wage and people should just accept what they get vote for it.
If you understand unions set the prevailing wage that people should be able to organize to get better page. If you understand that unions built the middle class and have earned what few rights worker have. vote against it
Nothing ever has been given to the worker without them fighting for it
Go union
bread and roses - Question:-Should you vote yes on issue 2 in ohio,U.S.A.?
I think so; all goverment workers[ who make more than us] should pay 10% on pensions & 15% on health care. The average worker pays more than that,
Answer:-Absolutely not. - Question:-Can someone please explain to me what Ohio's Senate Bill 5/Issue 2 is?

House Passes ‘In God We Trust’ Measure
By John Stanton
Roll Call Staff
Nov. 1, 2011, 7:23 p.m.
"The House passed a resolution reaffirming that the nation’s motto remains “In God We Trust” on a 396-9 vote today.
"The resolution does not change existing law. Instead, it expresses the sense of the House that the motto remains the same and should be displayed in public places.
“In God We Trust” has been the nation’s motto since 1957. Rep. Randy Forbes (R-Va.), who sponsored the bill, said it was needed “to firmly declare our trust in God, believing that it will sustain us for generations to come.”
"Although the resolution does not create any binding law, its consideration cost more than $215,000 in Members’ salaries and floor operation costs, and Democrats ridiculed the decision to bring up the measure."
Answer:- - Question:-If Obama is a Xian then why is he so against reaffirming "In God We Trust" on our currency?
President Obama invoked God Wednesday as he criticized Congress for voting on commemorative coins and a resolution reaffirming "In God We Trust" as the national motto in all public buildings, public schools and other government institutions.

Should Washington be spending time on this right now facing some many serious issues?
Answer:- - Question:-Whats worse to have on the money? In God we trust written on it, or pictures of slave owners?
which one would Atheists want taken off the money more?
Whats more offensive?

"The American public can rest assured that "In God We Trust" is in fact the official motto of the United States.
The Republican-led House approved a resolution Tuesday night to reaffirm the slogan as the country's motto and encourage the public display of it in all public buildings, public schools and other government institutions..."

Answer:- - Question:-In God We Trust. Really?
Today Congress spent 35 minutes debating whether to reaffirm that our national motto is "In God We Trust." If the measure passed, our national motto would be "In God We Trust." If the measure failed, current US law would stand and "In God We Trust" would have been our national motto.
This is what Congress has time for these days, when they're NOT PASSING bills to help our economy, put people to work or ANY OTHER important purpose.
Should we fire them all next November?
Answer:- - Question:-Cons, how does reaffirming "In God We Trust" create jobs? Have you guys just given up?
Wanda: So if I don't agree with you or share your exact same beliefs I should leave the country? Yeah you're a great patriot.
Answer:- - Question:-Doesn't the motto "In God We Trust" violate the first amendment?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Just because the motto makes no mention to a specific god doesn't mean its not a religious thing. Obviously, the religious right, the ones who passed it, are talking about their god.
Why don't we return to "E Pluribus Unum"?

Answer:-boob? - Question:-How to write a palindrome program in Java?
Create a Palindrome application that prompts the user for a string then displays a message indicating whether or not the string is a palindrome. A palindrome is a word or phrase that is spelled the same backwards and forwards. For example, “mom” is a palindrome, as well as “kayak” and “Never odd or even”.
Answer:-Here ya go be sure to best answer
public class Palindrome {
private String pal;
public Palindrome(String initPal) {
pal = initPal.toUpperCase();
}
public boolean isPalindrome() {
if (pal.length() <= 1) {
// String has only one character so it
// is a Palindrome by definition.
return true;// BASE CASE.
}
// Get the first and last characters of the String.
char first = pal.charAt(0);
char last = pal.charAt(pal.length()-1);
if (Character.isLetter(first) &&
Character.isLetter(last)) {
// The first and last characters are both letters..
if (first != last) {
// The first and last letters are different
// so the string is not a Palindrome.
return false; // BASE CASE.
}
else {
// The first and last characters are both letters,
// and they are both the same. So, the string is

} - Question:-What is the first palindrome greater than 10000 and divisible by 3?
What is the first palindrome greater than 10000 and divisible by 3? Please help!
Answer:-10101.
Any number less than this (and greater than 10000) will not be a palindrome. Moreover, 10101 / 3 = 3367.
I hope that helps! - Question:-What is the longest palindrome you can think of?
I saw a person ask what a palindrome is. What is the longest palindrome? Or, longest one (most letters) that you can think of?
Answer:-The longest single English word in common usage which is a palindrome is REDIVIDER, although the contrived chemical term DETARTRATED is two letters longer. In Finnish there is a 25-letter palindromic word: SOLUTOMAATTIMITTAAMOTULOS which means the result from a measurement laboratory for tomatoes, although technically it is a compound of four words. There is also the equally long SAIPPUAKUPPINIPPUKAUPPIAS which means soap cup trader. - Question:-How can I write a java program to check a palindrome of a string?
My Lecturer asked me to write a java program to check a palindrome of a string? Could you kindly show me how to maybe be give an example.
Answer:-boolean isPalindrome(String s){
for (itn i=0; i < string.length()/2; i++)
if (s.charAt(i) != s.charAt(string.length()-i))
return false;
return true;
}
... you might want to check the end points .. but its the general idea
this is a palindrome
asdffdsa - Question:-What's the longest palindrome made without using a palindrome-generating program?
I'm trying to make the longest palindrome that doesn't make use of a generator. How long is the longest one that doesn't use a generator?
Answer:-Finnish has the longest single-word palindromes, with two entries: “saippuakivikauppias,” which means “soap stone dealer”; and “solutomaattimittaamotulos,” which means “the result from a measurement laboratory for tomatoes.” Depending on who you ask, “tattarrattat,” “kinnikinnik,” or “detartrated” is the longest single-word palindrome in English, though some would say these words are not really part of the English language, since they are contrived or almost never used. - Question:-3digit postive integers.What is the probability that any thee-digit palindrome is also a multiple of eleven?
You are given a special set of numbers that contains all three-digit positive integers that are palindromes. What is the probability that any thee-digit palindrome is also a multiple of eleven?
Answer:-Since the numbers are in a form xyx, There are nine possible digits for x (1-9) and ten for y (0-9). So off the bat, there are only 90 numbers in this set.
101x + 10y = 11z
For any given x, only one value of y at most is going to produce a multiple of 11. That's because whichever value it is, the next one up will be y+11, and y only goes from 0 to 9.
At x=1, the value of y has to be 2, for the number 121.
At x=2, y=4, for 242.
x=3, y=6: 363
x=4, y=8: 484
As you can see there's a pattern where y=2x. If you add or subtract 11 to y you can still have a multiple of 11.
At x=5, y=10, and since y=10 is not an acceptable value, there is no multiple of 11 where x=5.
At x=6, y=12. y=12 is not valid but you can subtract 11 to get it back into range. x=6, y=1: 616. And 616 = 11 × 56.
x=7, y=14 -> 3: 737
x=8, y=16 -> 5: 858
x=9, y=18 -> 7: 979
All nine values of x except for 5 had a single palindrome divisible by 11. So out of 90 palindromes, 8 were divisible by 11.
8/90 = 4/45 - Question:-How to write a class Palindrome() to identify palindromes from a set of strings?
Palindrome is a word that reads the same forward and backward. Needs to accept the strings and confirm or deny its palindrome.
Answer:-yeah, you want to read in the words (strings)
eg string a = "hannah"
string b = "doctor"
string c = "flower"
now reverse each string
string a2 = "hannah"
string b2 = "rotcod"
string c2 = "rewolf"
now create an argument that says
if a = a2,
give output as "this word is a palindrome"
else
give output as "this word is not a palindrome"
you could also include something in there which tells the program to ignore whether characters in the string are upper- or lower-case, so that it doesn't tell you that "Hannah" is different to "hannaH"
hope you can form a program from this in whatever language you're using - Question:-How do I can write a program "Palindrome"to testing if a line of text (read from the keyboard) is apalindrome?
A palindrome is a text consisting of the same sequence of characters read
backwards, as if read from the front. Ignore all characters that are not letters, and consider
an upper case letter to be equal to the corresponding lower case letter. Examples of
palindromes:
"Anna" "x" "Ff" "A1 n2%}=3N{[a]" "Was it a rat I saw?”
Sorry! In Java.
Answer:-in java.
import java.util.*;
public class Palindrome {
public static void main(String args[]){
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
isPalindrome(sc.nextLine());
}
public static void isPalindrome(String s){
s=s.replaceAll("[^a-zA-Z]","");
s=s.toLowerCase();
char[] orgStr =s.toCharArray();
String revStr="";
for(int i=orgStr.length-1;i>=0;i--){
revStr+=orgStr[i];//System.out.println(orgStr[i]);
}
if(s.equals(revStr)){System.out.println("its a PALINDROME");}
else {System.out.println("its not a PALINDROME");}
}
}

student loan forgiveness
- Question:-Can there be student loan forgiveness for moms who decide to stay home to raise their children?
There is student loan forgiveness for people who do volunteer work or for teachers who teach low-income children, so why not for moms who have no income of their own, and choose the non-paying job of raising children?
Answer:-Would this apply to all stay at home moms? Im a stay at home mom with no income of my own. Would i qualify? Now my husband has an income. He makes just over $112k a year from a trust fund. He owns 4 income properties. He recieves another $75k from disability insurance (private insurance NOT SSI) at the moment. Would i still qualify? Im still a stay at home mom with no income of my own. This is one major problem with the idea of loan forgiveness for stay at home moms. It would be ridiculous to allow someone with my household income to not pay a loan. And this isnt even touching the fact that all of us have the option of working or staying home. For those of us who choose to stay home we still have to be responsible to our debts. If we give special treatment based on being a stay at home mom we do a HUGE disservice to the working moms who struggle with bills. If anyone should be given debt forgiveness it should be people like Johnny's Mommy who work damn hard outside the home and struggle with bills because of a father who doesn't pay regular support or not enough, plus raise a good child after work. Those of us blessed enough to be able to stay home don't deserve more breaks in life while good people like that struggle. - Question:-Is there any sort of student loan forgiveness program for newly graduated teachers who can't get jobs?
I recently graduated from college with a degree in elementary education. Because of the economy and cuts in education I have been unable to find a teaching job. As a backup plan I am subbing at some local schools. This however, isn't consistent enough, or enough money to pay my loans. Does anyone know of some sort of student loan forgiveness program in the state of Alabama that could help?
Answer:- - Question:-How could I achieve student loan forgiveness?
I am graduating with a master's degree in civil engineering in May 09 and I owe $50,000 in student loans. They are all Federal Staford loans; half unsubsidized and half subsidized. I've seen partial loan forgiveness programs for the state of Missouri. However, I live in Texas so this doesn't help my situation at all. Any thoughts (excluding loan consolidation)?
Answer:-I forgive you - Question:-Working for a non-profit community college, at any capacity, qualify for student loan forgiveness?
I recently found out about student loan forgiveness and some of requirements. I work at a community college, but, not as a teacher. Would that qualify me for loan forgiveness?
Answer:-yes. possible. write in - Question:-Where can I find some information on the new student loan forgiveness program?
My fiance and I are buying a house but she has a TON of student debt (roughly $118k) which is getting in our way. She makes practically nothing as a social worker, and I've read that the new program gives forgiveness to teachers, civil service workers, and possibly social workers.
Do you know where I could find more specifics on this? Anything would be helpful. Thanks!
Answer:-Department of Education has very specific rules for their student loan forgiveness policies for those who work in public service. Page 47 of this book describes the details of having loans forgiven. Note: these are for FEDERAL loans only. If she has private student loans (or she consolidated loans after graduation, she may not qualify.)
http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/attach... (page 47)
What is a public service job?
Eligible public service jobs are full-time jobs in the following fields:
• Emergency management
• Government
• Military service
• Public safety
• Law enforcement
• Public health
• Public education (including early childhood education)
• Social work in a public child or family service agency
• Public child care
• Public service for individuals with disabilities
• Public interest law services (including prosecution or public defense or legal advocacy in low income communities at a nonprofit organization)
• Public service for the elderly
• Public library sciences
• School-based library sciences and other school-based services
• Certain tax-exempt organizations
• Faculty teaching in high-needs areas, as determined by the Secretary
• Full-time faculty member at a Tribal College or University
Note: A borrower who pays only, or primarily, under a 10-year standard repayment plan or under another repayment plan in amounts consistent with a 10-year standard repayment is UNLIKELY TO HAVE A REMAINING BALANCE for loan forgiveness after making 120 payments on the loan.
(This is why no one ever really qualifies, they passed the law, but if the person actually pays on it for 10 years, they pay the loan off!!!!) Stupid, worthless benefit that looks good on paper but never gets used unless someone takes a job working for minimum wage after they earn their degree.
How do I qualify for this loan forgiveness?
To be eligible to have remaining balances canceled, you must not be in default on the eligible loans and must have made 120 monthly payments on the eligible loan(s) beginning after Oct. 1, 2007. Earlier payments do not count toward meeting this requirement. Payments must have been made under any one or a combination of the following Direct Loan Program repayment plans.
• Standard Repayment Plan with a 10-year repayment period.
• Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR) Plan—not available to parent Direct PLUS loan borrowers.
• Income-Based Repayment (IBR) Plan—not available to parent Direct PLUS loan borrowers.
• Other Direct Loan repayment plans, but only payments that are at least equal to the amount that would be required under the 10-year Standard Repayment Plan may be counted toward the required 120 payments. - Question:-I am looking for ways to get Student Loan Forgiveness Do you know how?
I have seen programs in the past where if you Teach for a year x amount of your student loan would be erased (paid off). I have also seen a program with the state department. Does anyone know of any other programs?
Answer:-Here's one of the best kept student loan repayment secrets and employment benefits -- many employers will help pay off student loans as part of an employment incentive contract. Indeed, numerous employers, such as state agencies, colleges, hospitals, law firms, and law enforcement agencies in needy locations, provide student loan repayment standard salaries and benefits.
Most of the 'forgiveness' programs are actually payment options. Certain jobs, teachers for example, will reduce, but not eliminate the loan, or give you more time before the payment comes due. Lots of places advertise 'student loan forgiveness' but they are high interest loan companies that get the government off your back by paying your loan and then you have a lower payment, but you will pay back 3 times as much after interest rates.
Best way is to find a low cost loan and pay it off.
Speaking from experience, they DO NOT forget or give up. They got me years later. To be honest, I had forgotten about it, but I still had to pay up after all those years.
You can stay in school full time and then the due date is extended until you are out of course. - Question:-How does a military vet Find student loan forgiveness programs, or grants.?
I've got an old student loan that i just cant afford to pay of, the lender keeps changing
Answer:-As far as I know there is no program for Vets. The only thing you can dispute is if your military service interfered with the completition of the class. You should be able to set up a payments plan. - Question:-Does anyone have a list of school districts that offer student loan forgiveness?
I am looking for a list of any school districts that may be available on a website that you might know of that offer student loan forgiveness if you teach there for a certain amount of time.
Answer:-Contact your student loan lender, they will know or point you to where you can look it up. - Question:-student loan forgiveness and government plant does it exist or not?
I heard a few weeks ago about a government plan to forgive student loan debt (U.S.) by teaching in a foreign country or something like that? is this plan in existence or is there something like it? ty.
Answer:-They allows people working in qualifying jobs to have federal loans forgiven if the borrowers are unable to repay their debt in 10 years of regular payments. Once you've made those 120 payments while employed in the right job, the remaining interest and principal are forgiven. - Question:-What would the impact be on the economy if there was loan forgiveness on all outstanding student loans?
What would the impact be on the economy if there was loan forgiveness on all outstanding student loans? Especially now during the financial crisis.
