"Three Fourths of the Operation Is Preparation" is something I heard a lot while growing up, but I've not been able to find it anywhere as a quote by a famous person. Do you know of any published originator? If so, please tell me!

Trig question?
When traveling toward a given city at 55 miles per hour, a student measures the angle of elevation to the tallest building in the city as 3 degrees. One minute later, the angel of elevation to the building is 5 degrees. How far is the student from the city at the spot of the first measurements? How tall is the building?

I looked over this for a couple minutes before giving up. Can someone explain the process to me?

I'm in my senior year in high school and I'm taking one class at the community college. I want to get my GED so I can just go to the community college in Spring and hopefully transfer sooner. I only have 4 classes in high school and I basically have no reason to stay for another 7 months. How can I get the GED? How much is it and where do I take the test? I've passed Algebra 2 and I'm getting an A in Senior literature so hopefully I'll pass it. Please help?

Okay so im 13 years old and in the eighth grade. I have been homechooled before, in sixth grade. Me and my two brothers were all homeschooled actualy. But then last year my mom decided that she wasnt much of a teacher. The whole experience wasnt too good for her actualy. She hated it. And me and my brothers didnt help that situation much.
But now, in eith grade, i just need some time to myself. The drama at school is terrible and i think that a few months ((the rest of eighth grade)) without all of the school stuff, would be great for me.
The only problem is, since the last time was horrible, i dont think my mom will go for it at all. So, i need some help. How can i make her listen to me? I know she's my mom, but i think i should have a right to make choices when it comes to my education. ((oh and i make A's and B's so grades arent a problem)) Also, do you have any homeschooling program recomendations? ((if possible i need a free program cuz we arent doing too good on money now.

When I was in 4th grade [back around 1974], I auditioned for the school talent show and didn't make it. [Frankly, I had no talent.] My "rejection" slip thanked me for auditioning but that unfortunately not everyone could be in the show. The slip also had some festive drawings on it to keep the mood light.

My niece, now in 4th grade herself, auditioned for her school's talent show last week, and just showed me the rejection slip she received today. It had drawings of those hideous, attitude-laden Bratz dolls and had this text: "Tough luck, girl -- we can't ALL be Divas." One of the Bratz was looking away with her nose turned up, and her hand was up in one of those vapid ghetto "talk to the hand" insults.

What the hell has happened to manners, civility, respect, and letting kids have innocent and simple childhoods? Why didn't the teacher use a simple and gentle "thanks but no thanks" note? Why on earth is coarse "attitude" being glamorized by an elementary school teacher?

How do you write this?

Mary's, the mother's, dog is brown.
Mary's, the mother, dog is brown.
...or something else?

Or does it never work, and I should just write "The dog of Mary, the mother, is brown." ?

VIEW ONE: Shareholders bear the risks and should have the final say on how public companies are run.

VIEW TWO: Modern competitive conditions require a 'stakeholder' approach to running public companies.

VIEW THREE: The only way business and communities can develop together is if businesses are owned and run by the communities they are in.
