States Of Matter in the Education Links Database.
In the physical sciences, a phase is a set of states of a macroscopic physical system that have relatively uniform chemical composition and physical properties (i.e.
Less familiar phases include: plasmas and quark-gluon plasmas; Bose-Einstein condensates and fermionic condensates; strange matter; liquid crystals; superfluids and supersolids; and the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases of magnetic materials.

  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: List of states of matter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Generally states of matter are distinguished by the pressure and temperature, transforming into other states as conditions change to favor existence of the other form, an example is melting and its complement freezing.
Strongly symmetric matter: for less than a second after the Big Bang the energy density of the universe was so high that the four forces of nature, strong, weak, electromagnetic, and gravitational, were unified into one single force.

 Phase (matter) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In general, we say that two different states of a system are in different phases if there is an abrupt change in their physical properties while transforming from one state to the other.
Bose-Einstein condensate is a phase of matter that occurs at extremely low temperatures, near absolute zero.
Under extremely high pressure, ordinary matter undergoes a transition to a series of exotic phases collectively known as degenerate matter.

Equivalently, two states of a system are in the samephase if they can be transformed into each other without abrupt changes in any of their thermodynamic properties.
All the thermodynamic properties of a system -- the entropy, heat capacity, magnetization, compressibility, andso forth -- may be expressed in terms of the free energy and its derivatives.For example, the entropy is simply the first derivative of the free energy withtemperature.
Metastable states may sometimes be considered as phases, although strictlyspeaking they aren't because they are unstable.

 United States Senate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United States Senate is one of the two chambers of the Congress of the United States, the other being the House of Representatives.
The senator from each state with the longer tenure is known as the "Senior Senator," and their counterpart is the "junior senator"; this convention, however, does not have any official significance.
The Senate meets in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. Like the House of Representatives, the Senate meets in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. At one end of the Chamber of the Senate is a dais from which the Presiding Officer (the Vice President or the President pro Tempore) presides.

 New states of matter
The study of new states of matter is of fundamental importance to physicists.
More exotic states can be observed when the constituent particles become lighter: liquid helium forms a super-fluid state in which all viscosity is lost; and the electrons in metals and certain ceramic materials undergo a transition to a superconducting state which conducts electricity without dissipation.
The prospect of studying new states of matter in 2D electron system is all the more exciting because electrons, unlike atoms, are fundamental, indivisible particles, one of the simplest constituents of the universe.

In most states, all students must attend mandatory schooling starting with kindergarten, which children normally enter at age 5, and following through 12th grade, which is normally completed at age 18 (although in some states, students are permitted to drop out upon the age of 16 with the permission of their parents/guardians).

The temperature determines the state of a substance.
These changes of state take place because the molecules, or tiny bits of matter that make up the substance, vibrate faster when the substance is heated.

They keep mentioning "state", and I'm confused as to whether they are talking about a matter's state (ie: solid, liquid, gas, etc) or something completely different.
As stated in the article, the interactions between few (3-4) particles is not understood all that well and any further understanding will advance the study of quantum mechanics, which is an extremely important field that does have practical applications.

 Congressman Jesse L. Jackson, Jr.: A Matter Of Priorities: An Immigrant President Or An American "Right To Vote"?
State legislatures appoint electors to the Electoral College and those electors can, if they choose, ignore the popular will (vote) of the people in casting their vote.
A state right is NOT an American citizenship right (that is, not protected by the federal government), but a right defined and protected by each state - and limited to that state.
Therefore, when it comes to voting, each state, county and local election jurisdiction - and there are 13,000 - is different (separate and unequal) because voting is a state right.

 United States art - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about United States art   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
US art is characterized by stylistic variances that exist as a result of the country's overwhelming size and broad geographical differences; the subject matter and artistic style of urban artists differs greatly from those leading a more isolated, country life.
By the 1990s, extremely high prices were being paid at auction for works of art by well known artists; museum facilities were expanded to house donated collections and travelling exhibitions; and the designs for art exhibitions, their catalogues, and posters had become, in many ways, art forms in themselves.
