So, I put a ring on that finger. It has been pretty exciting so far. I proposed to Sarah on Sept 10th, 2009 at the Botanical Gardens in Atlanta. I will let her tell you all about it.
Finally we come to a clearing, with swings and benches overlooking part of the gardens – it’s actually a very pretty spot. He turns to me and says he has something he wants to tell me.
The Can-Am Challenge was a huge hit and with racing for the World Championship limited to three litre cars, the series fielded the most powerful racers of its day. The ‘Batmobile’ design was further refined for 1971 with the fins now starting at the tip of the front fenders of the M8F. The all aluminum V8 was further increased in size, displacing well over 8 litres. This hiked the power to 740 bhp, which made the M8F the first Can-Am to break the 1000 bhp/ton. Customers could order the M8E from Trojan, which like its predecessor used the simpler and lighter strut mounted rear wing. Two of these M8Es were modified to mimic the M8D’s design and were known as the M8E/D. Peter Revson was hired as Bruce’s permanent replacement and the orange cars’ domination continued. Hulme clinched three races, but was beaten to the title by Revson who scored four wins. He was the first American to win the Can-Am series. In 1972 the ‘Batmobile’ finally became available to customers. The Works team had moved on to the M20, which used side-mounted radiators and was designed to house a much more powerful Turbo-charged V8.
“How much recruiter Teson knew about young Joshua Fry’s psychological problems is unknown. But If Mary Beth Fry is correct, he knew quite a bit.She remembers that Teson called looking for Fry during his time in Colorado. She told Teson that her grandson was autistic, was at a lock-down facility and was not Marine material.
“Please take him off your list,” she remembers telling him. She said it was the last she heard from the recruiter until after Fry had enlisted.”
Something eerily similar happened to a close relative of mine. I can’t believe they are so desperate that they encourage recruits to go through this. The recruiters are a bunch of manipulative, bullying swindlers as it is. This is just another sign that it has been time to end this stupid war for far too long.
Every semester, the students at Clayton State University in Morrow, Georgia, have an ever larger burden to carry. There have been additional fees added every semester since I began attending in 2007.
It started with the new Student Dorms and the Student Activities Center that were recently built simultaneously. With these came TWO additional fees added every semester. There is the $50 Student Activity fee, then the $75 Student Activity Center fee. Aren’t these a little redundant? According to this data, there were 6,043 students at CSU in 2007. If you take this into account, the Student activity fee generates $302,150 per semester, and the Student Activity Center fee generates $453,225 per semester. If you add these together and multiply by two, then you get $1,510,750 per year. That is a nice chunk of change!
If the university thinks they are hurting for money with their mandatory fees for every student, they should consider the position of their students who are being laid off and furloughed, as well as the supporting families of their students, who are going through the same
Let’s also take a look at the $20 laker card fee, which is levied every semester whether you lose your laker card and need a new one or not. That is $120,860 per semester, or $241,720 per year. Wow! Those little plastic cards that don’t need to be replaced every semester sure are expensive. Let’s say, for example, that the cards for new incoming students cost $40,000 to make. I bet the lady who works in the laker card office could use the remaining $200,000 per year.
The parking fee is $34 per semester for every student, whether you park on campus or not. That is $411,000 dollars per year! Incredible.
Let’s add this up. If you take away the $200 software fee (This is $50 per class for four IT classes (which does not mention the fact that we use FREE!!! software in ALL of my classes)), then you have a total of $446 per semester in fees not including the student health fee.
If you look at all of the fees and all of the students who attended Clayton State in 2007, then you have a total of $2,695,178 per semester, or $5,390,356 per year. Please keep in mind that these are only FEES, not tuition, that is levied by the university, This does not consider that there may be more students attending now than there were in 2007. It also does not consider funds generated during the summer semester.
Times are tough for everyone right now. If the university thinks they are hurting for money with their mandatory fees for every student, they should consider the position of their students who are being laid off and furloughed, as well as the supporting families of their students, who are going through the same. It is my opinion and the opinion of many others that the student body as a whole would welcome a reduction in services provided by the university in return for a similar reduction in fees.
If we wanted an ivy league school, we would go to one. It is hard to feel sorry for the poor beggars demanding more money every year when you see numbers like these.
“Obama stressed that he wanted to “make sure America leads in the deployment and design of the next generation of American vehicles.”
“I don’t want to import a hybrid car,” he said to loud applause. “I want to build a hybrid car right here.”
Officials projected that the 48 projects, which are part of Obama’s $787 billion economic stimulus program, could create tens of thousands of jobs — a prospect that had residents of Wakarusa and the larger Elkhart area lining the streets Wednesday to see the president, even though Obama’s event was closed to the public.”
