Financially Strapped Colleges Angering Their Benefactors
❑ New Unrest on Campus as Donors Rebel - WSJ.com
The Wall Street Journal (Hechinger, 04/23/2009) reports that “Financially strapped colleges are angering their benefactors by selling school radio stations, auctioning Georgia O'Keeffe paintings and dipping into endowments for purposes their donors may not have intended.”
The report cites examples of Trinity College (CN), Tulane University (LA), Brandeis University (MA), and St. Olaf College (MN) -- all private universities/colleges. About a year ago I wrote a post about the private-public gap in higher education, when private universities with big endowments were the envy of public universities suffering from state budget cuts. With the current economic downturn, even those private ones are not immune to budget crisis.

Here's an even more extreme example of the financial challenges facing higher education institutions:
Waldorf College in Forest City, Iowa, may be sold to an online, for-profit university in Alabama.

Hi Kes,
If the dilemma is actually a username/password issue and you are not able to log in then I am not sure what's wrong. I tested it a second ago and it seemed to be working fine. Could you check once again and see if it's ok now?

I've been trying to win this with sadly, no luck. A Burning Time by Carol Mates got me itetrnseed in the Salem Witch trials. It's been years since I've read it, but that scene when they tortured the main character's mother, by using razor blades still haunts me to this day. Their torture methods they used made absolutely no sense, it was a lose-lose situation for those accused, and sometimes they would be accused just because they pissed off one person. It wasn't fair and I'm glad that this isn't practiced anymore.I've also left a link of this at my blog, it's off to the side.Thanks~ Popin

I owned the sedan edition of this '78 for a amount of a long time and these downsized B and C-body GMs had been seriously pleasant cars so smooth and quiet, great highway cars, wonderful in an era of $1/gallon gas. I might consent which the top quality part with the equation was at times overlooked. The interior trim on these was not of excellent quality and they experienced many plastichrome and woodgrain decalomania that failed to get abuse quite properly. Nevertheless, I might love to have one among these as nice as this example. The Olds Rocket V-8 was an excellent engine plus the amount of money of area inside certainly one of these possibly exceeds lots of of modern minivans. I concur with Anthony that it most likely is overpriced at $12K, but for the other hand, it isn't like they are on just about every used car great deal these days.

Reminds me of a few of the old houses inside the countryside all around Thunder Bay Ontario (just previously Duluth, MN) back again while in the 70s. Some were abandoned starting while in the 1930s but as little ones on the old Finn settlers moved into town far more and more locations had been staying abandoned all about all over again.

That is exactly what I had been wondering. No offense for the inventor, but what happened when you cut absent what would appear for being at least a fourth from the car's structure? I believe I realize what became of the majority of these Pintos. Unless there was some sort of structural stiffener added, sags, cracks and doors that won't close or pop open at inopportune times, and other maladies would've lead to an early trip towards the crusher. Other wise it is not a undesirable looking modification.

Acid reflux disorder, otherwise known as gastro-esophageal reflux disease, or GERD, comes about because of the coexistence of 2 problems. The 1st acid reflux disease contributing condition is a retrograde flow of stomach contents into the esophagus. Though, the reflux itself does not really give rise to gastro-esophageal reflux disease signs and symptoms or histologic changes, and can occur among normal men or women as well. In such a case, the process is referred to as "physiologic gastroesophageal reflux".
