Ginrich said that they are in a bind. . “They know that the country wants a lower cost system, and their base wants a very expensive system.” these words are meaning gingrich wants a lower gas prices in my opinion Obama isn't concerned about making any changes. "President Barack Obama will try to head off the political impact of rising gasoline prices as Republicans vow to make the price at the pump an issue in the 2012 election campaign." ...

My water is from Masontown Muni-waterworks. It has nitrate, trihalomethanes, total haloacetic acids. My water is drinkable but I don't drink it because I don't like the taste of it.

Bioluminescense

 I have heard about bioluminesence. I know that some fish use bioluminesence as a flashlight. I know that fish use this property but I don't know any other organisms that use it. I think a function of this could be to help fish see or to help other fish see them.
Questions:
1. How do organisms use it?
2. Is there more than one purpose?
3. Do organisms use it alot?
