The Truth About the Academies

PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 7, 2007

The following is the first part of a four-part series. The author wishes to express that this article in no way reflects the feelings and thoughts of her brother. It is written from a family member’s perspective and is meant to be understood in that way.

know why I chose Columbia: the campus is magnificent, the education is top-tier, and my peers are intelligent. I could look at a stranger, tell him or her that I went to Columbia, and hear the predictable, “Wow, you must be smart.”

I just started at Walmart not too long ago working in the deli. And I'll tell you what, the money really isn't that bad, but it is the crappiest job I've had. There's no team work, and you're pretty much waiting on the customers by yourself, cause no one wants to work. I'm very frustrated, and dread going in there. I haven't gotten my first full paycheck yet. I was thinking of waiting until I get a full paycheck and look for another job while I'm there. What would you do in this situation? I would feel bad for quitting, cause it's only been about a week. But if I had another job offer, I think I'd jump on it. What should I do? Thanks.

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between


good song eh?

This one goes out to my pizza delivery buddy.......*kisses*

Excessive consumption drives capitalism. But at the same time it is destroying our environment.

The Milwaukee Tool Company build an electric drill, called the ½ Inch Chuck Magnum Drill that was virtually indestructible. Most of these drills built over a forty year period are still in use today and are respected worldwide by people in the building trade. Milwaukee’s Principle was simple enough: 'Build a product that would last a lifetime and people would buy it.' Although it cost more than cheaper drills people bought it because it lasts.

But most products are made to self-destruct, forcing the consumer to constantly buy replacement products and equally causing the quickened depletion of our natural resources.

So I ask, is it a myth that capitalism would implode without forced excessive consumption or are there viable options we can use that ensures capilalism can survive without destroying our planet?

I have a Liz Claiborne comforter, it's white and 100% cotton with 100% polyester filling. I'm at college, and my mom sent me back with some pasta and meatballs with sauce in a little container. When I came back from home last night, I was rushing to get to the library and apparently left the tupperware container on my bed (forgot to put it in the fridge), and somehow some of the sauce leaked out and stained my comforter.

What are the best ways to clean up this mess???

Thanks in advance!

Alright so the problem is as follows...

x+2 / 2x-3 > ((with line under it)) 1

I can get pretty far into solving it...

(x+2 / 2x-3) - (2x+3 / 2x +3) >line 0

5 - x / 2x - 3 >line 0

then theres where i get stuck... can someone explain where the answer

3/2 < X < 5 comes out of that?
